I stopped in last night, for the first time, and was amazed by how cool this shop is. The selection is much bigger than you might expect, and there is so much more on offer than just vessels for smoking. Bring anyone who likes to browse cool shops and they'll probably find something here. I brought a friend with me and he ended up buying more than I did. The only person who works here is the owner and she's very friendly and helpful. I showed up so late that I ended up staying long after closing (I feel bad about that), but she never tried to rush me. There are just so many options that I had trouble making a decision. I finally narrowed it down to 3 bongs, and she filled them all with water so I could try them. I was not only given a good deal, but I was also given the perfect bowl to go with it, which made me like the piece even more. I'd take a photo, but now that it's been used it's not pristine-looking.
Speaking of good deals: The prices here really are great. For the longest time I have only owned a single pipe because I just can't stomach the prices of glass nowadays. Most times we see it is in a dispensary and that stuff is SO overpriced. Rip City Glass has something for every person and every budget. Heck, even the more-expensive, artistic pieces don't cost nearly as much as some of basic, "big brand" stuff I've seen.
The experience that I and my friend had was great and we are going back next week...
   Read moreThis place has a very relaxing and laidback atmosphere and has a huge selection of anything you might need for your weed, such as bongs, bubblers, pipes, and even replacement parts. They have the BEST prices I have seen for vapes and other nicotine related items and also make it very easy to know which things are definitely worth getting. Their amount of vintage and antiques items are absolutely worth a trip to just look around at all the beautiful things unique things, and they even have some really interesting things like uranium glass. My son was even able to find a cool monster truck toy he absolutely loves because they also have toys and a few kid related items, and it was half the amount it would be at a retail store. There is also some clothes, wallets, purses, and jewelry for sale as well. The staff was very nice, great knowledge about the things in their inventory and made the store feel very welcoming and are great to talk to. Just a super wonderful experience to have and I absolutely recommend for you to go there for any of the needs for the items I listed above. I will be going here from now on for all...

Please call me so I can do that right away. I know it might not be intentional, but I have been calling and texting for awhile trying to nail down a time to come out. I drove out to RIP City Glass on September 6th, and it was closed. I noticed that it says, "Temporarily Closed" on Google. I hope the owner is doing okay. Reach out when you are open.
I went to Rip City Glass in 2017 to talk to the owner about carrying my ceramic work. My friend, Tony, Synarski, recommended the shop after talking to her. She asked me to leave a few pieces behind, and I was to be paid when they sold. It never happened. I wrote her, called her, but no response. I even sent the receipt she gave me. I'd like my money and a call. It's beyond inappropriate to take my pieces and not return any message.
The stuff in this place is very cool, but the owner's behavior is/was not. Please reach out here so we can talk about you...
