Rick’s Cabaret

It’s a sham. Whatever you do, do not go here. There are a dozen other clubs on B street that won’t chest you. This is on of many bad reviews to hit the web. Do not go.

I was definitely expecting more when I ventured into Ricks. Having gone to their NYC location in the past, I was expecting an experience very similar, however I was mistaken.
There is a «no touch» policy on the floor. Now I can’t speak for everyone, however I personally feel this is at a disadvantage compared to other establishments. I was HIGHLY ENCOURAGED (borderline bullied) to agree to a $ 60 private dance where touching seemed to be acceptable but I could not justify what would be triple the cost for something that should be already included on floor lap dances.
In addition, I’m puzzled why I was charged a cover when others do not charge. Additionally, I’m almost flabbergasted they wouldn’t budge on waiving the cover for the one female in our group. Strange.
I will say the women were, at minimum, ⁷⁄₁₀ (my personal opinion) and appeared to be quite skilled.
When I return to bourbon street in the future, this will definitely NOT be one of the places I spend my money at.

One of the top two clubs of it’s type in NOLA. If you are expecting something like you saw in some tv show or movie, then this place isn’t for you because as the name says… Cabaret. Quality over quantity here!

Rick’s Cabaret is no doubt the #1 Gentlemen’s Club in New Orleans. In 2014, Gambit Magazine named Rick’s Cabaret «BEST OF NEW ORLEANS». The women, the atmosphere, the service is nothing less than First Class. Everyone here is treated like VIP. The staff and management here is very professional. Everyone from the doorman outside to the bathroom attendant is dressed to impress and offers nothing but the very best service. The furniture is new, the club is always clean, the decorum has a sophisticated look — everything about this club says 5 Stars. Rick’s Cabaret is definitely a must see while in New Orleans.

Went on a Friday, wasn’t too busy but it might of been too early for a crowd. so got to sit up front in all the action with my girls. The dancers were lovely, not too much «pole» action or tricks. but still entertaining. ONE in particular caught our eye, can’t recall her name (sorry.if you read this. I get distracted easily. but you were GORGEOUS!) but after her dance she came over and introduced herself to us along with another dancer, sat and chilled for a good 10 – 15 mins talked some «girl talk» we didnt get lap dances because we just went in to relax before leaving town and not get «full service» lol .and then they went on their way. but it was nice of them to stop by. The establishment is not too lit up but not like «damn.cant see the person sitting next to me» kinda darkness. Our bill was close to $ 80 for seven drinks. so not too bad. We will definitely go back next time we’re in N’awlins. Thanks ladies for the hospitality. keep up the nice work :)

I’m a novice, but I catch on quick! Lol~Look, When you’re in Rome, do as the Romans do… and when your on Bourbon Street, do whatever the hell you want. I had the time of my life here and I’m not too proud to admit it! ;D The security guys were so professional… they watched over me like a hawk all night, but then I am also a very generous tipper, too. When I slipped out for a moment to charge my phone in the hotel, they had men on walkie talkies tracking me because my husband thought I’d been gone too long. I should have told him that I was running to the room, but I didn’t think it was a big deal, as the hotel was directly across the street… but they don’t take girls missing lightly at Rick’s, even if they are guest. I didn’t mean to cause a fuss, but it really made me respect how this Club is run. The girls were great, too~down to Earth yet out of this World! …tip well and enjoy responsibly!

I’ve definately experienced better. I was surprised at the attitude of the girls here. Some were friendly, but not all of them. Seemed like they were more interested in complaining. WTF? Dance prices were ridic too. $ 45? There was a place down the street offering $ 30 with MUCH better looking and nicer women.

Girls in this club were fine!
Pros:
1) Girls were attractive and fun (even if you didn’t want a dance)
2) VIP dances were well worth it.
3) They had 2 blondes working that night and a very fun Canadian Korean girl!
4) They honoured a free entry coupon!
Cons:
1) Closed too early
2) Smoking was allowed.
I can’t remember the prices of dances but they were on par and worth it.
I’d visit this club again.

Upscale and classy! Great drinks, too!

My husband and I decided to sit at the front bar for awhile. He got a beer. We people watched for awhile. The girl at the front bar was great. My husband had to use the bathroom. She said it was OK to go in. The front door guy stop him. He explained about the bathroom. He was kind let him go in and told him he could do what ever he wanted. As I sat there, the two front door guys would let people in no charge. The girl would pick and choose who she would charge $ 10. After he came back we decided to go inside. She wouldn’t let us in unless we each paid $ 10. We had sat at the bar for 3 drinks prior. We were the only ones sitting there. She knew we had been there. Poor business from her. Be careful of the shady front door girl

Stopped in with some colleagues since they had no cover although there is a one drink minimum which is really not that big of a deal since the drinks are not outrageous.
Girls were decent but not as good as Penthouse. The layout is rather odd with columns all over the floor so it blocks your view to the stage.
Only serious gripe is th cigars are crap and over priced.
Otherwise worth stopping into if they are not charging cover.

I certainly liked the one in NYC a lot better than this one. It was a Friday night and I’m sure there were a bunch of drunkards throwing their George Washington bills around so they drew more attention from the dancers and bartenders. A group of us just wanted to sit around and chill… Not sure why we decided on a strip club (the guys outnumbered the gals 3 to 2). And since we weren’t flaunting our Abe Lincoln coins we had to clothesline a waitress just to serve us drinks.
Rick’s Cabaret is a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ. Translation: they need to be very profitable with a strong revenue and growth stream so people will buy their stock. TRANSLATION: they only have dimes working there. No second or third string talent.

A little disappointed in this place actually extremely last visit was the worst place was rude staff is rude and waitresses try to gip you out of a tip will never come here again rather go to barely legal. Besides there was only a couple of hotties and I dnt even see that now

This place charged a $ 10 cover and the girl at the door «miscounted» the change of anyone in our group who was typsy. Dances were $ 60 which is too expensive IMO. The women were good looking but were not eager to please. I prefer several of the other places on bourbon over Ricks.

My wife and I were looking for some adult entertainment on Bourbon Street during our recent stay in the French Quarter. Due to the awesome bartender at Mike’s Cajun restaurant (across Canal), we were told that Rick’s was one of the more laid back classier joints on Bourbon Street, so we decided to start there.
We’re novices when it comes to strip clubs, so we were looking for a place that we could blend in and just watch for a bit without much involvement.
We were not disappointed. The girls were all above average looking. All girls had nice to great bodies. Half were disinterested in dancing, but the other half actually worked during their performances. There was a nice racial diversity to the dancers.
More importantly though, the girls here were not pushy (with us, at least). The first night we went we only had one girl solicit a private dance (very friendly and sweet), and the second night we went we were not solicited at all. Probably not a good thing for those couples specifically looking for lap-​dance action, but for us it was perfect. The girls definitely knew where to focus their attention and read body language well. They focused on the groups of guys and/​or single dudes.
The first night we were charged a cover, but the second night (Friday) there was no cover but a one drink minimum.
Staff were very friendly and relaxed.
The reason this review is not a five-​star is because the mixed drinks were very weak and extremely expensive. Over-​priced drinks was no surprise. Strip clubs are notorious for that and I understand that’s how they make money. But I can’t abide a weak cocktail!
We didn’t visit any of the local competitors, but it’s hard to imagine a better experience than Rick’s.

It was the night before my sister’s wedding and so I tagged along with my brother-​inlaw and a few other guys for a little bachelor party. After gambling and a few drinks we decided to come to Rick’s. Now I have never been to a strip club before or a cabaret either, so I really did not have high expectations or knew what to expect. We walked in here and the cover was $ 15. Kinda pricey, but hey it was a party night.
The inside was pretty crowded and almost every table was taken. It took a while for the 4 of us to get seats. You can tell this place is a bit more classy than other areas around and most of the customers dressy with some high baller status regardless if they really deserve it. The girls here come in so many shapes and sizes and I give them tons of credit for these hard manueverss they pull off. One girl had amazing abs! Another offered my friend a private dance, but her aggressiveness was a bit of a turnoff. My only big disappointment with this place would probably be the ridiculously pricey drinks. 4 budlites for over $ 30? wow. Talk about sooo not worth it. but you have to order a 1 drink minimum. Grab your dollars!

Best in the state.

I went to Rick’s for a party. The food was good, the jazz band was great, and the free champagne definitely got my attention. I am not usually a fan of this type of establishment, but the burlesque dancers were super fun and entertaining. I will keep it in mind for bachelor/​bachelorette parties in the future.

Not bad… I was expecting a lot worst. Seeing the types of girls standing outside the doors of all the other strip clubs set my expectations really low for NOLA strip clubs.
Being from Vegas, of course I wanted to compare my town’s strip clubs to their town’s. I just didn’t know howz about I was gonna do it. Chicks can’t get into a strip club by themselves in Vegas so I assumed the same goes in NOLA. Luckily, I rounded up 3 cool guys (2 teachers and a vice-​principle from Pittsburg) and twisted their arms to go in there with me.
From the first impression, I thought it was very classy. Tastefully decorated in somewhat of a murder-​mystery mansion type décor. IDK how else to describe it. Kinda like the Artisan Hotel in Vegas, if it were a strip club.
I noticed there were a high ratio of pretty dancers to ugly ones but it seeems as far as body type, they were all skinny with no curves or anything. Not even somebody you would consider healthy looking. IDK if I were a dude, I’d prefer someone less boney dancing on me. The dancers were all very talented and stage performance was definetly a big part of the show there, unlike Vegas where no one really even pays attention to the stage.
This dancer (who dances between NOLA and Vegas) tried to give me her number, and that made those 3 guys I was with pretty jealous.

While there are countless not-so-gentleman’s nightclubs just a stone’s throw away in any direction, you can’t hit up Bourbon Street without a quick — ahem, or four hour — visit with your ol’ buddy Rick.
We dropped in for happy hour: no cover (including ladies), half-​priced drinks, not many kinda empty with not many creepy patrons, and enough second-​string girls to keep the male companions entertained. We had an outstanding cocktail server. I really wish I remembered her name because she deserves a shot out. Glasses were filled, she broke countless bills and put up with a lot of our table’s BS.
Our first round of drinks for six peeps was only $ 30, so that tells you something about the attractive happy hour prices. I sipped on prosecco and a few delicious whiskey concoctions from the cocktail menu. The guys in our group seemed to have a good time as well. I even bought my buddy his first lap dance ever — with a little persuasion. It’s only $ 20, and the girls will even do half songs if you ask nicely. Now these hangouts aren’t my normal kind of thing. I usually end up having a «what’s your workout routine?» convo with the girls, but that’s a different story.
The music was great; I got up for a quick sec to dance before a bouncer headed my way and skurd me. (I guess that’s a no-​no for clothed girls?) The DJ was accommodating; he played my two of my song requests for just a few bucks tip: Miley’s Cyrus «Hands up!» and Katy Perry’s «The One That Got Away.» Not quite Rick’s Cabaret appropriate, but I certainly appreciated it.
Down-​sides:
*Ladies restroom is waaaay upstairs.
*Smoking is allowed inside. Yuck.
*$ 10 ATM fee. Redonk!
*No pole. Can’t we see a girl get her swang on?
