Some good changes, some bad

Short version, not recommended for what most guys on this site are here for. Long version, see below.

Decided to give Rick's another look after hearing they reduced their cover and drink cost. Cover is now $7 as well as their domestic beers (though my Coors Light was nearly room temperature). This price drop is almost certainly a response to Pandoras getting their license to sell beer. Competition is always a good thing.

I arrived just after 10pm on a Saturday night. ID check even though I'm pushing 50 due to alcohol sales. The club was quite a bit livelier than Washington clubs have been post Covid but it wasn't hard to find a seat. Around 10:30 they actually opened up the second stage. First time I've seen that since Covid.
