Rick's Cabaret Minneapolis — Restaurant in Minneapolis

EDIT:

TLDR; the person responding to reviews with genuine 1 star reviews is just using a copy paste from others they've responded too.

Great copy paste response, was hoping this would happen so I could make this edit. I stated WHY I will never enjoy any dancing at your establishment which constitutes an accurate way to review a place based on heavily supported evidence of what my complaint is about with this establishment. Clearly displaying you don't even read the original review. Never stated I even viewed this from youtube, nor from its platform at all, and you never even addressed what was witnessed by the OWNER of this establishment being apart of what has been witnessed now by THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. This is the best evidence yet to really display your false narrative your copy paste is trying to portray

People attacked that cyclist in that video because they simply have repeatedly requested it not be used as your personal valet for your establishment, which is why it's so huge the owner himself was caught on camera as such! The cyclists gets told they're a "bully" for standing up for their rights, they simply tried requesting we take responsibility for what this can do to other humans by illegally blocking these bike lanes. They tried so many different ways but always within their rights, but who cares about those unless its for your business right? I get it, it's easy to pick on the weak, and cyclists are a pretty low hanging fruit.

Well, this time that harassment towards his request of them to move escalated because enough people got riled up at him standing up for his request. Not once did the cyclist fight back, so many times you could see them waiting for him to and trying to make it look like he could have with their words, but I don't think they realize how bad their actions looked.

Proving further the lack of respect they truly have for it and why so many die due to people not realizing the severity of their actions while operating these vehicles. It's insane to me how far this truly did escalate because of your establishment constantly encouraging people TO PARK IN THE BIKE LANES (yeah bouncers telling this cyclist it's okay to park there means that). It's on video, and the one that you mention in the comments is something you should remember why it's important to read a review before replying. Because I talked specifically about the owner doing it this time, to which I can only assume is the person typing that copy paste response hoping google will break their own terms of service agreements by removing legitimate reviews.

Which makes it really hard to stress, it's admittedly nice seeing what I saw with how poorly your establishment handles that lane from the owner. Did I mention the owner? Maybe if I write it in my edit you won't just do a copy paste response to your next bad review. Take this as the realization of how you act as an owner EVERYWHERE can affect YOUR business even if you're not inside of it.

Original review here:

Disgusting, just watched the OWNER of this place get out of his precious limo outside of his establishment INSIDE OF A BIKE LANE. Bro, this is not your personal valet and bike lanes are not drop off spots. Have your limo driver find a parking place LEGALLY like everyone else. Saw a police car too, but their lights were flashing and not causing a danger. Love to watch a good dance, but never...

YMMV, but here's my review of my interaction with this establishment. As the best man, Rick's was chosen as the place to host the bachelor party on this past J4 weekend for my cousin and I was in charge of it. I live out of town so I couldn't visit the place before hand but I reviewed their "packages" online and chose to do the "ELITE" package. Instead of doing it on their website, I called and talked to the GM "Mike". I went over how many people were coming and asked if he could accommodate. He then asked if I was going to do bottle service and I told him I was interested in the "elite" package. He says that's doable and that to just show up that night and ask for him at the front desk. I then asked if I needed to pay upfront or anything and he says no. Cool. Come the night of, we arrive and I ask for Mike as he told me to and he says he remembers talking on the phone but then proceeds to tell me I can't get the package because it's an "online only" deal and since I didn't buy it online, I couldn't get the deal. Now on the bottom of the page, it says you can walk in and get any package but you'll just have to wait. I guess Mike can't read. I didn't feel like arguing so I just went with it since we were already there. He takes my party of 20+ to a corner with 2 small couches and leaves. WTF. Servers come over and then realizes it ain't gonna fit us all so they move us. Before moving us, I order the 3 bottles as what's somehow "required" of us.

Server comes back and gives me the total and then wants $200 additional for tip. I thought I misheard and was like what? Let me clarify, the package I was not allowed to get included gratuity already. At this point, my 3 bottles equated to MORE than the package I wanted which included 3 bottles, tip, and more. Now, they wanted more money. The server is holding my CASH in her hands in front of her and I at this point. I then put my hands back onto my money and tell her F it, I'm Audi 5000. They then proceed to tell the rest of my guys they'll then settle for the grand I put in their hands already as I walk to the entrance to leave with my money. Out the door I go and Mike asks me where I'm going. Give him the "I got a call to take" excuse that I'm sure he's used to by now from girls.

I get it that normally bottle service requires that kind of tip but them trying to finesse money out of me with all this BS is just ridiculous. They have low ratings for a reason and this is why....

Review of Rick’s Cabaret

My buddies and I visited Rick’s Cabaret for the first time while in town to watch an NFL game, and the experience ended up being one of the best nights we’ve had, though there were admittedly some ups and downs along the way.

The venue itself was clean, welcoming, and had a very pleasant atmosphere. The host was gracious, there was no cover charge to enter, and the bar area offered TVs to catch the game while mingling with the talent.

We ordered champagne so we could sit in the lounge seating and enjoy the view of the game and the girls, and while we opted for a lower-priced bottle to save more for the dancers, I ran into a hiccup. The bottle I initially wanted was “out,” and the staff substituted another one they said was “roughly the same price.” I didn’t ask at the time, but later realized it was nearly $150 more than my choice. Whether intentional or not, it left us feeling a little uneasy and second-guessing whether to stay.

That said, we decided to stick around, and I’m glad we did. The dancers were absolutely fantastic—gorgeous, kind, and a lot of fun.

The $20 dances are a nice option, though the private dances are pricey and not as private as other clubs (for example, Deja Vu offers more spacing and seclusion, even with the 20$ dances). Still, the fact that Rick’s serves alcohol makes it stand out compared to some other spots in the city.

Service-wise, the bartenders were attentive but came across a bit cold. Nothing terrible, but not as warm as I would have expected. Maybe it was an off night.

Overall, expect to spend at least $1,000 if you’re planning on making a full night of it here.

We’ll definitely be back, but next time we will make sure to double-check bottle prices instead of leaving it up...
