Rick’s Cabaret

This place will cheat you out of your money. Any girl you remotely chat with at the bar will be on your tab regardless or whether you walk away after paying or not.
Do not go here

This place is a hidden gem and I am not sure if I should share it with the world… Oh well!
On top of having beautiful girls dancing on stage for you, between 12−3pm, they have a phenomenal lunch prix-​fixe that will knock your socks off!!! For $ 10, you get a 3-​course meal and you gotta have one $ 8 drink. Your lunch costs you $ 18 before tax and tips… And you get strippers on stage.
The food is surprisingly good! Don’t laugh, it’s true lol. I got the Greek salad, huge with cucumber, tomatoes, olives and feta. Hubby got the French onion soup and it was as good as you would get in fancy restaurants.
For my main course, I choose the grilled salmon, sitting on a very delicate cream of peas and with a side of asparagus. You read all that right. The portions were huge and the flavors very much on point. Hubby got the steak frites and the fries were aaawessoome!
Already very much stuffed, our desserts arrived and we only worked half way through them, but they were great. I got a bread pudding with caramel/​toffee sauce and whipped cream. OMG, the yum! You could easy feed 3 people on my bread pudding. Hahaha
I wish I could have taken photos for you to believe me, but believe it, the price is a steal, the food is great (not gourmet great but good great) and the portions bigger than most!
ENJOY!
YOU ARE WELCOMED!

By far the best adult club in the city. Very professional and understanding staff. The Lady’s are very beautiful and courteous. Prices are what they are for a city joint. Only advice, allow customers to settle in for a bit and consume a drink before being asked for a dances or massages. And if possible dances should be at least a song and a half

My friend and I went to the ranger game about 2 weeks ago and got passes when we got out. I said f it let’s go. We’re going that way anyway.
We got there and checked our things and were escorted to a table. We ordered a bucket of beer for $ 72 and I gave the waitress $ 80 cash. Being that it is a strip club she didn’t even try to give me change.
I asked where the ladies room was and was pointed in the right direction. I came back and sat down and then my friend went to the men’s room. I took a picture of my bucket of beer and tagged Rick’s in the photo on Instagram. (Free advertising) As I was locking the phone to put it away the bouncer comes over and tells me I can’t take pictures of the dancers. I told him I wasn’t and he apologized for the misunderstanding and then demanded to see my phone. Oh hellllllllllllllllllll no. The POLICE aren’t even allowed to go through somebody’s phone so I don’t know why this guy thought he could go through people’s phones. He told me I either had to show him the phone or leave. After I paid $ 80 for BEER. What does he think, I secretly take pictures of half naked girls 20 feet away from me in very dark clubs and go home and flick my bean to them? Porn is free on the Internet. Ridiculous. I will never go back there.

Update:
As you can see, this place not only rips off their customers but they also do not practice discretion! So they’ll take your money AND not respect your privacy if you try and fight the charges. Classy!
Read other reviews. This is not an isolated incident.

BEWARE!!! This place engages in highly illegal activity. Their girls drug their customers and rack up their credit card bills. Then their gorilla security guards threaten you to sign your check and will not let you leave if you try and dispute the charges. They’ll then call the cops and threaten to arrest you if you don’t sign (see picture). They did with me. Total scammers. I got taken for thousands of dollars.
You’ve heard it about it on the news and this place is one of the culprits.
DO NOT GO HERE!!!

I’m a regular here because of kamilla. We met 10 years ago at a club at the lower east side. Two of my friends I opened a bottle here for $ 500. On a Tuesday night. My brother had a problem going in that night because he was a cancer patient. He had a beanie over his head. They told us it would be okay but we would be seated in the back away from everyone. That was fine was us, until we finished our bottle. Once that was done, the «bouncer» that switched shifts was not okay with it anymore. He said «it’s his call and I don’t know who you talked to, but beanies are absolutely not ok anymore.» so with half the bottle remaining, we told him we would never come back again. This guy sorry to say is an idiot. My friend for ten years has worked there, and every birthday with all my friends we’d open bottles that would cost $ 400+. You fucked up ricks. Goodluck to your demise.
You guys are really stupid. I don’t know why you would do that to us since I bring so much of your bachelor parties over here. you guys are really stupid lol. Plenty of money to make. Fuck you ricks. Cause we didn’t open enough bottles for once. You’re done. Guys don’t come to this place. They’ll put u on a pestiol when you open a bottle but will kick you out when you don’t open the next one. This is after you brought them years of business from bachelor parties or birthdays. Fuck them
P.s I didn’t know they had multiple establishments. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE FOR 50 33RD STREET. West 33^rd btwn Broadway and 5^th ave. (212) 372 — 0850. Beware.

John X!!! Is top notch and best host. Caters to your needs. Professional and super friendly. One of the best in this place. Definitely keep him around! One of the reasons I like coming here. Awesome environment because of him!

I patronized this establishment for a bachelor party. This is a real gentlemen’s club, not just a «nudie bar». The talent at this place is top notch. All their dancers are thoroughbreds and there are plenty of them. And they look classy. I think they are required to cover up any tattoos with foundation. The manager actually sat down to speak with us for a long time to make sure we were having a good time. He seemed like a very nice guy. I even saw at least one celebrity there that night. This place is obviously very expensive. I would only go there for a special occasion. I can’t believe this location is having a ten year anniversary.

Most ridiculous establishment ever. The cheap whores that work here take advantage of your open tab and make purchases without prior authority, so disrespectful and ILLEGAL.

Where should I begin… there are (legal) establishments out there that appeal to the more base, hedonistic, and libertine aspects of a man’s natural instinct. Rick’s Cabaret is one such establishment. As an expert on such places of business (merely by the numerical quantity attended, in many a different locale, in all the years I’ve been allowed to legally attend), due to a combination of loyalty to the place in tandem with a fair amount of good will/​nostalgia I feel towards it… Rick’s might be my personal favorite gentlemen’s club out there.
You will burn money here in very hasty fashion. And you will have no one to blame but yourself and your own lack of self control. At least, you’ll be in good company… so there is solace to find in that. NYC is full of beautiful women, and Rick’s benefits from such a pool. The girls working the floor and the poles here are definitely easy on the eyes… and the variety is astounding; there will be more than one that will catch your eye on a given night.
What’s probably more of a shock is how royally treated you will be when you come here. Whether you play the part of a mere peasant or you come in with your boys as a high roller, you can expect great treatment from the bouncers and the girls. I had to step out to hit up a cash machine, and I asked the front door bouncer if I needed a stamp to get back in… he said I didn’t, and despite a large gathering of male homo sapiens crowding the door, when I got back I was instantly recognized and let back in no hassle.
More recently, this past weekend I rolled up squad deep for one of my best friend’s slash college roommate’s brother-in-law’s bachelor party… we were 10 members strong for the night’s goings-​on, and were probably that many drinks in by the time we arrived. The bouncer was more than willing to break down pricing to us, as a table for the group would have ensured seating for us, and come out cheaper than if we were to pay cover and each fulfill the two drink minimum. Like I said, we were all well imbibed at that point, and a spoon feeding of information was more a necessity than unwarranted pandering at that point; the price breakdown was very much appreciated, and we ultimately opted for a table.
Back to the girls though, for the most part they’re all pretty much sweethearts (embodiment of the fantasy «stripper with a heart of gold»… here’s looking at you Nancy Callahan). I won’t tell you who my favorite (s) is/​are… I am a jealous guy after all… Either way, remember that these girls are working, experts in the art of making you feel special. If you have no problem spending $ 240 on one hour to feel like the man… then by all means go ahead. When the cash flow runs out, it is highly probable that she will lose her interest in you; unless of course you find some compatibility with the girl you choose (it can/​does happen, even more likely with the disclosure of a few personal details about one’s life, coupled with an inquisitive nature as to her’s). The thing again is that she’s working, and if you’re lucky enough, she may rather not have to «work» and spend more time giving you attention… being liberal with her interpretation of time (if you get what I’m saying).
At any rate, your senses will be in a state of euphoric flux. The sights (visually stunning women), the smells (won’t lie, something about stripper perfume gets me in a money spending mood), and the touch (for real, these girls must bathe in baby oil 24/​7, and most are willing to let you get grabby, within reason) will have you burn through a sizable chunk of bank account faster than you can say «$ 10 ATM FEE???» And you will use that ATM, and you’ll hate yourself for it the following morning.

they thought it would be a good idea to allow the girls to drink on my tab as a free for all without asking us, then follow up with the girls have been working here for years and would never do that… stirppers take advantage of customers, no way, unheard of. My fault, customers beware and good luck. Terrance the manager will call you back INSULTED that his girls would do that.
find another place in the city to go is my advice.

Love this place. Girls are gorgeous! And the bartender is cute and handsome. everything is clean and fresh. Will be back definitely.

Spent the night at Rick’s with some coworkers. The girls are super friendly and the bartenders make strong drinks. But the reason for the 3 stars is because their door men (bouncers) have no respect for the general public and can act like asses for no reason. Learn some soft skills guys. It can go a long way!

Exactly what I have come to expect from the Ricks brand. I’m a regular at the Indianapolis location and was in town for business so we decided to come check this location out.
Management was awesome, so was the wait staff who took care of our table. She was very attentive.
And the girls are all good looking.
I will definitely be back.

I don’t usually frequent strip clubs (isn’t that what everyone says?), but I was dragged here by a former colleague after a night of drinking.
I went on a random Tuesday night, so there was no cover. Coat check was also free, which is nice.
For a weeknight, the talent was pretty top notch.
Docking them a star because the bartender refused to give my friend his credit card back until they could see how much he was going to tip them. Real douchey.

***** Lunch time review****
+++
— Can’t beat a three course ten dollar lunch in NYC; midtown at that
++
— Good conversational environment, TVs on mute, music not too loud
— Portions are big, You will not leave hungry
— The biggest hit was French onion soup
+
— The models were not too accosting
— Food was decent, Nothing was too bad or terrible
+/​-​
— Only one model
-
— Service is kind of slow (I guess that’s more time to be consulted by the models) Our lunch took nearly 1.5 hours, with half our group having to leave early yo go back to work
— It’s wierd that lunch was $ 10, but drink prices are normal. You buy a lunch and a bear, and you’ve spent $ 18 already
— Whoa! those appetizers are expensive
— No touching, boys

This is my favorite strip club in the city, I have been here dozens of times and keep coming back.
It’s a bit old fashioned, and doesn’t have the flashy appeal of the penthouse or vivid, but like an old friend it draws you back in.
WOMEN ARE GORGEOUS HERE. As in gorgeous. You don’t want a lap dance? Lots of massage therapists walking around ready to work on your shoulders. I talked to a couple since for my doctorate degree I shared a bunch of classes with DPT (doctor of physical therapy students) — they are legitimate massage therapists — or in training, not some crooks.
The best part is the service. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel like a celebrity or a royal. They are also very generous with the passes, I can’t remember the last time I payed a cover, since I can always score a free pass!
Order some food and you can score the table right away and the girls will leave you alone, if you just want to watch.
One star off for the lack of pole, otherwise solid strip club experience, best strip club in the city and I been to every single one.
PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PRICES: THIS IS A STRIP CLUB. It’s like going to LV store and complaining about the price of bags. Go to Marshall’s for christ sake and score a 20 $ purse.
Prices are steep, they are steep anywhere you go. So pre-​drink at home or hit a happy hour before you come. No, you won’t find LES cocktail prices here, and the alcohol is likely mediocre but you don’t come here for mixology or fine cocktail crafting. There’s at least 3 fantastic cocktail places walking distance away from here.
If you want to have some fun, enjoy the girls and score a decent meal, come here by all means ! There is no better place in the city for authentic strip club experience.

My last visit here reminds me of a Dave Chappelle quote:
«Whatever happened to lipstick on the collar, lady… I have a shit streak in the middle of my shirt!»
Wonderful, I’ll be back.

After a lovely dinner, the birthday girl wanted to venture out to Rick’s Cabaret to celebrate the remaining of her pre-​birthday party! It was our first time at a gentleman’s club and we did asked way too much rookie questions. I am sad that we weren’t allowed to take pictures at all. The birthday girl and me love the rock music that they were playing at the club. Why not some Korn… LOL!
The Signature Cocktails were like $ 25 super pricy and other cocktails were like $ 18.
The birthday girl’s first lap dance was on me and she picked Avery. Armani was a terrific dancer on stage and would’ve buy the birthday girl another dance but I was tight on cash.
Definitely will be back to celebrate another birthday or event celebration here soon!
Don’t forget to print those FREE ADMISSION coupons + minimum two drinks

I don’t know why this place is rated so low. It’s awesome!
The Venue:
There’s three floors. The bouncers are super friendly and really give you the VIP treatment. You pay a $ 20 cover when you enter the establishment. (Red carpet everywhere — Tom Haverford would be proud.) Though if you go on their website and print a coupon, there’s no cover and you can spend the Hamilton on a one-​song lap dance ;)
The Girls:
Mostly have something going for them, either nice breasts, a killer body, or a pretty face. Usually pick one or two of those. BUT THEY ARE DOWN FOR ANYTHING. Okay, maybe not anything. There were definitely people copping a few feels. They are very open about touching and contact. Breasts were regularly shoved into customer’s faces. Legs were being spread. They did not skimp on the lap dances. There were even two girls scissoring at one point on the first floor. Like, damn.
WARNING: Do not slap their ass or grab their breasts. You will be charged extra.
WARNING: If you are a man, they will hassle you for lapdances and more drinks, and distract you with their ample breasts as they take your money.
