the ultimate strip club list

September 7, 2008  •  Vol. 15, Issue 250

Haden't been to Rick's for a long time but tried to stay tuned through TUSCL. Had personally seen Honey's go continuously go down hill and thought I'd check out Rick's first hand.
I didn't recognize a single lady and the ones I talked to or had a dance with didn't even know (or know of) any of the infamous Rick's dancers from the past.
The dances were all "air" --- I might as well have stayed in Vancouver.
Something tells me this club will not be in business much longer.

Dropped into Ricks after not having been there in a long time. It was early so only three dancers were there. LOTS of changes since I was last there. In the VIP area toward the back right of the club ALL of the big sofa type chairs had been moved to face outward toward the club interior. Almost no privacy is remaining...even though there was almost no one there, the manager was patroling like a hawk. I left dissapponted. Won't be back for a while.

For lack of other choices I stopped by Rick's on a Wednesday night. I recognized a few of the regulars, and talked about all the recent happenings for quite a while. Business has definitely died down.

I ended up getting a few dances, and I think it was a little more than what you could normally get these days, but not anywhere as high milage as before. The good thing is that dances are now $20. No more paying $50 for a dance.

Seattle needs a place like Penthouse Club in town.

I stopped by the club on Saturday afternoon. It's my third time visiting since the June raid. This was by far the worst of my recent visits. It just feels like the club has lost its direction and soul now. The energy of the dancers on and off the stage was very low. I had a couple of dances with an old favorite and she told me she was leaving next week because she's just not making enough money. There were a couple of new faces that seemed to already be jaded by the bad vibe.

The last post said the police are backing off the club. I heard just the opposite. One of the dancers told me that they are seeing a higher presence of undercover cops coming through the club now. The feds and SPD spent millions on the investigation. It's silly to believe that they are going to just back away without reaching some conclusion.

not a bad experience considering all the hub-bub a couple months ago surrounding the arrest. a friend told me that the cops in town are not going to bother this place that all that commotion was from the higher ups like the DA and the mayor and of course the IRS is the one who really pushed for the raid of the owner's house and stuff.

anyway, the club had some familiar faces and it looks like it might be on the rebound but i still can't give it a great score since the contact was still heavily watched and was pretty limited by most girls. it's also just not as private in the vip area as it used to be.

Came into Rick's on a Thursday evening, business has been steadily picking up since all the commotion a few months back. A lot of the old favs are still there and a few hot fresh faces have also appeared. It was pretty packed full of guys although it only took about an hour to see all the dancers on stage. Got a dance from two new girls, Frankie, and another whose name I forgot. Frankie has an extremely hot body and very sexy air about her, i would recommend her. Will definitely be keeping my eye on this place.

The rating is generous given the history Rickd must live up to. Formerly a top 5 US club, its now more a showbar sans tip rail.
Still 10 entry and 5 drink..that's where the familiarity ends. As previously reported, VIP chairs now all face the main floor, and the mgrs circulate to enforce the many new rules.
Ah jr high flashbacks..
This evening I heard stories told of the patron ejected upon second warning of illegal use of hands..must have been a center or guard..also dancers ticketed for giving alluring looks from the stage..
Plenty of eye candy still, parking lot full, patrons much younger now. Ran into a couple veteran dancers who indicated don't expect anything like the old ricks dances.
So go for the eye candy armed with low expectations and you won't be disappointed.
Peace and out.

It is a sad day when the downfall of Rick's is upon us. I visited last week and it was my first time back in a few years. My memories of Rick's were of the best looking dancers and the absolute best lap dances. Sure, it was a little crowded while getting the dances--but they were worth it. Well, the women are still beautiful, but the dances just are not anywhere near what they used to be. The hustle factor has increased and for less of a product. I guess the girls need to work that much harder to make the money they were making before. The drink push , which used to be the only negative about the club, is still just as bad. So, let's hope the days of old will return. If not, I will not

depressing comedown for a place that I used to greatly enjoy. Still some lovely dancers here, but doesn't feel like it's gonna last much longer. The managers are on alert - even the ones who used to avoid the back at all costs. I got one offer of an oldschool dance, but I declined.Too tense to be pleasant. The dance I got wasn't nothing, but it wasn't much either. Guess it might really be over...

First visit since the big crackdown, just wanted to see what remained of the good old days...and basically got what I expected. Managers with eyes in the backs of their heads, pretty much acting like wolves in the henhouse. Practically salivating at the chance to catch anyone doing anything. Looks like any club action anywhere close to Seattle from here on out is going to be like the old days way before the Rick's era...where dances were just that....dances.

Came here on a Friday afternoon just before dusk. Unfortunately Ricks is a shadow of what it used to be. Still $10 to get in, and many girls still ask for $30 for a VIP dance. Which is by the way, no contact and fully covered. (it is illegal to flash a boob in any Strip Club here). The only Nudity you can see is on the stages. It's only a matter of time before the Government siezes Franks clubs.
Surprisingly, the club was pretty busy. It's a ghost town during the day time, but at night it progressively starts to pick up.
There were a lot of new girls. Many of them... very average looking.
The VIP was not used often. Mainly because the chairs have been turned the other way, so you share your lap dance with pretty much anyone within an eye shot of you.

It isn't all doom and gloom, but lord knows it ain't a pimple on the way it used to be. I have to be honest, though; I was beginning to be turned-off by the "open air brothel" the place had become at its height (or depth, depending on how you look at it); reminded me of some of the Toronto-area clubs in the months before the strip-club crackdown up there.

Dagmar was manager on my Sunday afternoon visit a week or two ago. She was vigilant, sure, but only rarely hovered. I talked to a few dancers about their degree of nervousness; it's definitely definitely taking its toll, especially since T*** got fired a few weeks ago for doing nothing more than getting on both knees to pick up her purse after doing some dances (or so I am told).

I got dances from Maddie, Carrington, and Stephanie. All gave what I would call reasonable value for dollar, although definitely not the mileage I might have gotten a year ago. Dances are definitely cleaner than they were, but this ain't no airdance palace; contact is substantial, deliberate, and usefully applied. Today's $30 dance is about the level one might have expected of a $20 dance of a year ago if one could talk the dancer into doing $20s.

What the hell, it's still better than any other place in Seattle I've tried, or in a dozen other cities my travels take me to.

Once the "hanging in limbo" gets resolved, things should move in one direction or another (either improved conditions for customers, or closing the doors).

Returned back to Rick's since the bust, but not really voluntarily. I only went because it was on the schedule for one of my boy's bachelor party. We stopped in about 1:30 a.m., an hour before closing, after hitting the clubs in Pioneer Square. I was usually a day-shifter and only went at nights a handful of times. I have to say that I was quite surprised how many guys were there. Although not many of them were getting dances. I didn't recognize any of the dancers so I'm wondering if there are newbies that Rick's hired. I didn't get a lap dance myself, but bought a few for my bachelor buddy as this was his last week before getting married. From what I could see, the dances were lame and the manager roamed the area nearly every song. Dancer's still quoted $30 for a dance.

I'd say this club has a 50-50 chance of surviving, but it won't ever be like the way it use to be. It'll be a clean club and the main customers will be the newly legal college kids and those older folks who never knew how good things were back in the old days.

I was sitting next to a couple of college kids who had a dancer approach them. They asked the dancer how much and if they could touch them. So this is what it has gotten to. If only those kids knew what it was like before. Sad, sad, sad....

I checked in on Thursday afternoon (today). I didn't believe that things could get any worse from my visit of a few weeks ago. I was wrong. Only a handful of dancers were at the club. A couple of my old favorites told me that the mood at the club was very bad. The dances are very tame now. Absolutely no hanky panky. One of the girls was complaining about having difficulty making the daily rent number. The Rick's girls have been black balled in the area. They are having trouble getting hired in other clubs making matters worse.

One dancer said that being in limbo because of the legal process is hard on everyone. There is just no sense of certainty about the future.

It's official. I went to Rick's and there were very few good dancers left and the VIP seats were turned to face the floor so no more hanky panky could go down. I spoke to one of my regulars and she said there weren't really any good dances to be had anymore and that she was moving to OR. So I passed on getting any dances and left.

Arrived here in a very sunny Friday afternoon, and was surprised to see the parking lot almost full. Even though there has been a lot of changes, I still feel that this is the best club, by far in the area. The girls are hotter at Rick's and they have a lot more of them. There are a lot of new faces, and not all the regulars have left.

Got some dances from Martina, a hot Russian blonde and I left happy. I know things at this club are not what they are used to be, and management tends to lurk, but few clubs wouldn't respond that way be with all the law enforcement pressure. But if you like a large selection of girls to choose from, this is the best club around these parts.

Since I am from out of town, I haven;t visited Rick's in the last few months. Sorry to say, the recent LE may have finally taken the life away from this club. The layout is now different so privacy is practically non-existent and the mgmt is constantly roaming to LD area. The dance prices have come down a bit but you get litle more than a standard limited touch LD. Sure hope things return to normal soon as this has been my favorite place for several years!

I haven't been to Rick's since all the stuff went down and was in the newspapers, and they have changed things up quite a bit.

First off, the chairs in the VIP area all face the stage area now, so the privacy for private dances are not what it used to be. Also the managers walk through the area quite a bit more.

I got a few dances, and they aren't of the quality of Rick's past, but I did find one girl who gave me a little taste of the old days. Dances stuck to 20-30. No one offered dances for more than that.

Well, after a couple of months away, curiousity brought me back- I figured at worst, I'd run into some old friends and find out where they were headed if Rick's closed.

Sadly, Rick's does appear to be on life support. For all we know, the club will close any day now if the gov't case gets it shuttered, but even if not, the club is being ultra clean- almost like a Deja Vu place. There is very limited mileage; even putting your hand on the girl while she's straddling you might bring a manager over. A couple of the sneaker girls still manage to sneak their hands inside your pants, but the days when several guys were being jerked, sucked, or fucked at the same time appear to definitely be over.

The VIP is laid out where the benches face towards the seating area, and not towards the far wall, so it's much more open. When I went in at about 7pm on Friday, the place was dead- maybe 2, 3 dancers there. In a few minutes an old favorite, Arianna, showed up and we had some nice dances (but she was always tamer than most). Still, where before there was no HJ or more I could still suckle her breasts, etc, now it's pretty much above board. Some nice neck nuzzling, but not much more, and she had to be keeping an eye on the managers who are still walking through every song.

I was surprised that there were still a few familiar faces weathering things out; Carrington was working when I came in, although I never get dances from her. Didn't see anyone like Sharise, Anna, etc, but they might still be purely days. Based on what I saw, I have to imagine days are completely empty.

Dead. That is the only way to describe the place last Sunday. Pre-bust Sunday was never the busiest day but you'd usually see 20 dancers and a fairly busy room. When I got there at 6 last Sunday there was a six dancer rotation and less than ten patrons.

They picked up a couple of dancers by eight but not enough to keep me around. Of the 8-9 dancers I'd seen on the floor by eight only one was worth getting a dance from.

If the rating of this club were a stock I,d say sell,sell,sell, as it keeps slightly bouncing off bottom of the rung. While it remains best of Seattle, that's like best of Mazda since the RX7 days. From the top, 10 gets you in, another 5 gets you a soft drink in a glass. No tip rail and no seats near the 2 stages, so you see from afar from either convention style chairs around 1ft diameter tables, or sofas at the back. All dances are done in the open vip area, whose only privacy is the fact the chairs face the other way. If you are not in the first row you are saying hi to the dancer in the row in front of you as well..uncomfortable at best. Dances ranged from below par to perfunctory. Its always hard to let go when the memories are good, but it may be time for this club to either move or give up, as this is a shadow of its former self.
Peace.

It has been over three years since I was last at Rick's and unfortuneatly, descriptions of its demise seem to be pretty accurate. The biggest difference I noticed was in the quality of the dancers. When I frequested the club back in 2006 there were always a number of stunning entertainers to spend some time with. Now, the majority of dancers are in the 5-6 range. Also, the quality of the dances use to be extremely good. Now, everyone seems paranoid about who is watching and whether they will get in trouble for going too far.

The reason why I gave it a 6 was because compared to some other clubs, Rick's is ok - but only a shadow of its former self.

Since I was in Seattle on business I decided to check out a couple a strip- club. Rick's was the only one near where I was staying so I headed over there.

Admission was $15 plus $5 for an OJ. The first thing I noticed on entering the club was the lack of a tip rail. Seating around the stage was close enough for viewing, but far enough to prevent any interaction with the dancer. Also tables and chairs were packed together so closely that it was very difficult for any dancer to approach me sitting there. All the dancers were good looking, and some of them tried to put on a good show.

After watching several dancers I noticed one very cute dancer sitting by herself. She told me that the only way for dancers to make money was lap dancing. Since the lap area was quite open, and a rathe stern looking women walked through it during each song this didn't look very interesting. Still, because she had been good enough to fill me in on the place I got one $20 dance from her. It is the only dance I ever go at a strip club I would describe as decorous.

After this I sat further back from the stage, and every dancer in the rotation approached me for a dance. With one exception all approaches were mechanical with no real attempt to seduce me. The one exception even promised that we could get in a little extra while be bouncer wasn't looking I might have take her up, but I had already decided that the place was a bust.

Thursday is waitress contest night. Five not so spectacular waitresses competed. Much better as waitresses than dancers. Many new dancers in the last two weeks. Dances are much better if you know the dancer. The VIP area is monitored constantly. The booths that were in the back by the main stage have been turned around so they can't be used. Do not pay more than $20 per dance. Most dances are the $10 variety in the VIP area but the charge is still $20. The house fee is for the dancers still $130 so about half as many dancers now.

Went in on a Saturday. The seats in the VIP now face out towards the club, but that shouldn't be that big a deal as it's still more private than the old pre-expansion benches. Right now the major buzzkill is that the manager is actually policing the VIP every song, she actually reprimanded and spoke to dancers while they gave dances. Still I got a good grind, certainly not a Ricks dance but not an airdance either. I just hope when the current climate in Seattle passes we're not left with Ricks prices at tamer venues.

I was a huge fan of Ricks. I went there on a Saturday afternoon. I do not live in Seattle and I had not heard of the recent "raid". The place was not totally dead (by my standards) but the VIP area is clearly not a active compared to the many previous afternoons I have been there. Absolutely no extras available. Did not stay long mostly because there is no alcohol. If this place had alcohol I would not mind hanging out and watching the stage dances. But you can only do that for so long drinking diet cokes. I hope it will be revived again.

Next stop Honey's.

R.I.P. Ricks

This club is still "open" but i walked in to see it the other day and there was one dancer "working" ... she was in a bikini but she was standing at the bar talking to the bartender because there were no customers. She immediately asked if I wanted to slow dance with her and I just said I came in to look but she came over anyway and we hugged and slow danced for a few minutes to a slow song and i gave her $10 and said goodbye.

The crackdown by the FBI and SPD have doomed this club. I don't think anything is going to save the owner.

One thing that was really lame was that the seattle times article kept saying that the mgmt kept raising dancer's fees (up to $130) to the point that they were forced into prostitution including intercourse. Nearly every dancer in that place (except the ones that shouldn't have been there in the first place) could make back that $130 in the first hour and then the rest of the night was gravy. During the dot com boom i personally knew three girls in that place who would regularly pull in over $1000 in a five hour shift and none of them did any more than rub their ass on your jeans vigorously.

Even now the times were leaner and the dancers not as hot but each girl in that place was charging $30 per dance and easily making a couple hundred profit in a shift. Anyone who didn't make that back can't blame the mgmt - the customers just dried up with the seattle dot com money and the club can't support 40 dancers anymore.

Oh well.



I visited Wednesday just to see how things looked after the mega Federal and SPD raid. This club will never be the same again. All of the chairs are now positioned south or facing the crowd with no privacy. There are surveillance cameras by the cops setup outside recording all customers and dancers entering the club. The high mileage dances that Rick's was known for have disappeared. The club was just coming out one of s really slow period and was hit with this investigation fiasco. The Seattle PI, Seattle Times, and every major local news station has covered the story. It's really depressing to see the impact for many of the dancers.

I think Rick's is a great strip club. Well, the place is not pretty and feels kinda old, the cover charge is rather high too. But, oh my GOD, the strippers are smokin' hot. All of them are attractive, and some select few are just awesome. There is a lot options, they got blondes, brunnete, and a few blacks and asians. I got two lap dances and they are awesome, the stripper are willing to go a little further than other places I have been in the past.

The feds just raided this club and 3 others in the area, on monday, on all kinds of charges focused on the owners. Still open for business, but not sure how long. Still lots of girls working, but apparently some have been informants for the police and undercover cops have been visiting regularly enough to build a case against them. Check out the local Seattle Times website for more details.

I had a pretty good time at Rick's last Saturday. I went with 2 other guy friends and we got a table right in front of one of the stages. We got there just after 9pm, and there weren't many customers yet. There were a good number of dancers. I never saw the same girl dancing on stage. The variety of girls is great. I'm sure that everyone will find something they like there. The only complaint I have is that there is no tip rail. I usually like to sit close to the stage and tip the ladies, but it doesn't seem to work that way at Rick's. The girls make all their money from the dances. The signs in the club say that dances are $20, but all the girls offer them for $30 or a $40 higher mileage version. Some girls may do specials like 2 for $50. I got several dances from 2 slim brunettes - the first told me she's a single mom that's been dancing for 4 years; the other said she just started about 2 months ago. Coincidentally, I was in the same lounge chair for my dances. The mileage was very good from both girls. My hands roamed, and were not stopped. The songs were fairly long as well. I'm guessing 4 mins or more. The lap dances I got were only topless. I don't think nude dances are offered, but I'm not sure. Some girls on stage get completely nude. All in all, I had a good time. There are plenty of girls and if you get there before it gets too crowded, you should have a nice selection to pick from. Oh, my second complaint is there is no atm in the club. You use your debit card to get chips that are only good within the club. If you don't use them all that night, you can use them again for future visits.

WOW... I have been to SR and other great SC's in Vegas... Vegas has nothing on Rick's. The talent in Vegas is definitely better overall but Rick's has a few that are off the chart also. The difference is at Rick's it is friendly laid back and the mileage is CRAZY!!!! I had a blast with 2 smoking blondes that were friendly and gave awesome lap dances. The staff was very cool also... No pressure and great fun!!!

Visited Friday afternoon; around 15-20 dancers were dancing with a couple of 9-10's and the rest in the 6-8 range. Had a couple of dances from a well endowed brunette who aimed to please. No extra's seemed to be available. However this young gal grinded with the best and did a bit of stick shifting. Also offered a nipple or two. All in all a good visit. Will be back next time I'm in the vicinity.

Went in last Saturday for the first time in quite awhile. Went in looking again for either Olga or Anastasia, but no luck there. Both seem to be out of the club for the time being. Too bad. Olga was my favorite for some time. Guess that will teach me to stop going for a year.

Anyway, got a couple of dances but the managers were all over the VIP seating area so mileage was low. Had a couple of dances with Soleil, always fun and she is very experienced dancer. Even with managers walking around everywhere, she can get a lot of mileage.

So guess I will keep looking for my favorites on other days.



We went in on a Saturday night. The parking lot was full and the place was packed. A few dancers were standing outside smoking with the bouncers/parking lot attendants. Inside the waitress asked us where we wanted to sit and walked us to a completely different table. Most seats have a pretty good view of both stages. But, some get neglected by the girls who walk a well worn path through the club. The VIP area was full most of the night. Most in our party were disappointed in the lap dances. Girls really tried to get way more for their dances by promising more. Stick to no more than $20 or $30. Anymore is just a waste of money.

Went bact to Rick's with a couple of hours to kill and was glad I did. Club is still pretty averagh with two stages, DJ booth etc. The quantity of girls was about the same but the quality of girls had imprived a lot. I saw several I wouldn't have minded getting up close and personal with. Then a really cute brunette named (?? sorry)came up with what I thought were a great set of covered bolt-ons and even thought I don't like fake tits I took a chance. They were real D's and they were terrific. My hands were free to roam anywhere including the kitty. Three $30's and I was ready for a $50 to finish off - WOW. I don't recall Rick's being better than this ever. No managers were even wondering around and it seemed to be a free for all. I can't wait to go back.

Good variety of women here. Up close and personal dances. Not much static from mgmt.

My only complaint about this place is that it claims to be nude, yet during my visit I saw not one girl get totally nude on stage. No big deal I guess, but perhaps they should advertise as topless!

I visited this club about a month ago. I had a poor experience last time so thought I would see whether it was an off day. I visited on Saturday afternoon. The quality of the dancers is still as low as its ever been. Probably 3 - 5's at best. Much older group of dancers today with very few customers. I had a couple of dances with a girl named Sybil (older, probably early 40's). She gave very average dances and expected to be paid more then they were worth. It just seems like this club is missing an influx of energy and younger dancers to return back to popular days.

Things have changed parking lot was less than half full which could either be good or bad as in m-f ratios. Upon entering one stage was closed and the talent level was about as low as i've seen in a while. Maybe 2 guys getting dances. Had one dance from a skinny blonde avg at best in the dance dept. However, I did see an old favorite S****** who did not dissapoint. She said business has been slow. Unfortunate how times have changed.

alright, friends, i never went to rick's in the grand old days to which many on this board refer but my experiences on lake city way were very positive. there is a lot of variety in the talent but i found 3 or more to my liking and i liked the dance set up in the afternoon with reasonable privacy and excellent milage with the right girl. i got good attention before, during and after private dances and lots of fun talk.

Visitied 4-25-08. THis is one of teh best clubs in Seattle, but that is not saying much since there really are no good clubs in Seattle. The dances are a bit over priced, but there are some great looking gals working there. Worth a visit if you are in Seattle.

The issue is that there is no alchohol allowed in Seattle clubs so it is not that great for partying.

I had a few dances from a girl named Jazmin and I think it was $110 for three songs in a semi private booth. She was really hot and it was worth the $100.

I went to Rick's last week with some mid afternoon time to kill. Experiences at Rick's are so disappointing when comparing to the good old days. There was a time when there was no better club in America. Last week I was not expecting much since the mileage has slipped in the last 4-5 years. As a result the club met my low expectations. There were probably 7-10 good looking dancers. The VIP area has a lot of potential, but in reality there is low to medium mileage compared to other clubs. Some dancers are 8-9 range, but with the managers not allowing the dances to be fun this club is no longer worth the trip.

I tried a weekend visit my last time out with poor results. This time I went in last Friday afternoon. There were about six below average dancers on shift. I didn't know anyone there. This used to be my favorite spot in the Seattle area. Friday's were almost guaranteed to have a few hotties 4 - 5 years ago. Now it's nearly a ghost town. How could management mess this club up so much?

Well, I went there on a Monday evening from 6:00 to 10:00 and it was OK. Nona of the girls were really hot but there weree a few that were pretty good 6-8. Most had bolt-ons but the dances were high contact and both ways so i don't know what the guy before me is complaining about. One asian lady had nice b/c naturals and gave a really ot dance with faux BJ action. Pretty good evening but the girls were just OK so I give it a seven

Well, the trend downward continues. Paid my 10 entry, 5 drink plus tip, found a decent seat and awaited the parade of wannadance..wannadance. The stages are odd in that they are unapproachable.. None of the old crew were there so it was random choice night. Looked like there were no repeat dances going on..bad sign..tried a couple..eh..not into it..maybe next time..or better yet another city..peace.

It is so sad to see how this club has fallen. I used to save my money for 3-4 trips a year to what I considered in the best club in the northwest hands down. I was in town for a couple of days last week and this is the first time I haven't spent well over $100 at the club. I got three dances and wished I could have gotten my money back. I made a daytime and nighttime trip and was really disappointed with both visits. The club used to be crawling with 9's and 10's in the evening and the hottest chick I saw was a 7 but she had such an attitude I wouldn't give her the time day.

I guess this is just another city like so many others where the club scene has really declined. The glory days of strip clubs are clearly gone. There just doesn't seem to be anyplace anywhere anymore that is as good as it was a few years ago. Such a shame since there are a lot more hot girls around today that could make do so well in these clubs. I guess I'll have to turn to internet porn in the future since all strip clubs across the county have gone downhill. These are sad times in America.

I went in on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. I used to go into this club regularly about 5 years ago. I did a couple of dances during both of my visits. The dances were below average and the girls seemed older then I remember. There is no energy in this club anymore. One of the girls told me that the club raids and SPD visits are happening each week now. She said that customers are just not coming in with any sort of frequency. It's a shame because Rick's was one of the top clubs in the NW.

I did go back on Sunday as I said I would. I went there around 1 PM. A bit slower than saturday but the talent is there. Today I had time on my hand so waited for the dancers to make the first move. This usually weeds out the low mileage ones. I had two dancers, one for 4 songs and another one for two. The second one was a beautiful blonde that went beyond my expectations for $40 dance and made me blush.

As I said in my reviews before..if you want mileage best time is Sat and Sun afternoons.

Was up in the area for business and stopped by during the weekday. I'm guessing something happened in this club, the overall mood was pretty grim. First, I didn't recognize any familiar faces, and second, the manager was patrolling the VIP twice per song.
The girls weren't having fun, and the customer weren't either. I left after getting one dance from a slender brunette with implants. The dance was mediocre at best.

How to get to a score of 5 in two visits. O+10 devided by 2. First visit in a while last week. Right in the middle of a very nice dance in walks 2 uniformed cops and my dancer jumps up and runs. Okay, damn near broke my finger. Didn't really know what to do so calmly went to the restroom composed myself and left. Not a good scene. Went back a few days later and it was if nothing had happened. Same dancer apologized and more than made up for the scare and said she thought they were looking for her for something else. Whatever. The pressure from management, dancers, public and politicians make this a place to avoid for a while. Sorry girls it just isn't worth the anxiety of being in a place where paranoia rules.

Have to lower the rating from the "old" Rick's but this place is still worthy of a visit. Seattle does not have nicer clubs that offer much contact like the days of past but Rick's is still one of the better places. If you really want contact you may get lucky here but I guess you have to go North or try Fox's in the Tacoma area. This is probably the best place to go if you are some out-of-towners and want to see dancers and generally have a good time.

This will be a two for one review. I went back to Ricks in mid-March on a Sunday afternoon. I also went there on a Tuesday evening in early April. I will break down my experience during both of these visits on this review.

Sunday Afternoon in Mid-March: I must be getting to be a known face around Rick's. To my very pleasant surprise, they gave me an exception on buying a soft drink and so I saved myself $5 on the price of admission (like other regulars, I NEVER drink the pop and just use it as a placeholder for my table). There were a lot of girls working and not many customers. A lot of the girls looked bored and were just sort of sitting around waiting for more customers to show up. The first girl I had a dance from was Cinnamon, an attractive black girl who kind of reminded me of Caramel; in fact, she could have been Caramel's twin sister. The dances were wonderful and I could have easily been "finished" with a couple more dances from the Cin-Meister. She provided a HJ (over my clothes) and a very inviting "mock" BBBJ. The second girl up was Madeline. Madline is in her very late 20's, long straight blonde hair with medium, natural breasts. She gave me two pretty good dances for $50. She actually told me that I had better grab her ass, so she wouldn't have to. I love this girl! We had some nice two way action going for most of the two dances. Towards the end, she spent most of the time grinding me with her back turned to me, which was a bit disappointing and left me feeling a little like she was out for a C&D. I was next approached by Divine. At first glance, she was not my type. She is a very well rounded (but certainly not fat). I initially turned her down (politely), and she took the time to sit with me and get to know me. I relented and we went back to the VIP for a couple of dances. When I was seated, Divine took out some anti-bacterial cleanser and cleaned my hands for me. I am not sure how other men react to this, but I found it intriguing and exciting - if she was taking the time to clean my hands, it was obviously a BIG GREEN light for me to give her some 2-way action. Wow! She gave me a very HM lapdance, with a nice covered HM too! What a wonderful, voluptious, beautiful girl! Last up was Kendall. Kendall's primary feature is her rock hard abs and firm body. She gives a regular lap dance, but I just love to worship her body and kiss her six pack!

Tuesday Night in Early April: Okay, this MUST have been an off night. There were, I'd say, about 3 to 4 girls working. That's it. There were probably about the same number of customers, which made for a nice 1 to 1 ratio. Unfortunately, this gave the manager (who reminds me of a reject from a casting call for a slightly butch tom-boy school girl for the show "Welcome Back Kotter") ample opportunity to swoop frequently and often in the VIP section. She was doing this to remind the girls (all 3 of them) that they needed to end their VIP session to get on stage and that she didn't care if it was their 11th time dancing on stage in the past hour. Arrrrrrrrrgh! So, please take what I have to say in this review with a grain of salt. I was actually there to meet Sienne, who gave me her number on an earlier visit. She normally works during the day, and was on a rare tour of duty during the evening. I asked her about her "ripped shirt" which I read about in a review on this board. She didn't remember any specifics about wearing an outfit like that, which tells me she doesn't have that outfit in her current wardrobe. On this night, she was wearing a kind of leapard cave girl outfit. Very nice. She was a bit more tan than the first time I saw her. She also looked a bit tired. At least I hope that's what it was. Sienna has long brunette hair and smaller natural breasts. She gives a basic lapdance with no mileage or lower mileage. I have a feeling for guys more her own age, her lap dances would be higher mileage so YMMV. I decided to not bring a lot of money with me on this visit; I don't want to have any dancer think of me as the "B of A", if you know what I mean (if any of you have had a HM lapdance with Sienna, I would love to hear about it on here). Also, while I was waiting for Sienna to finish her stage dance on stage #1, I saw Madeline on stage #2. I smiled at her and she acknowledged me with a nice smile. After I left Rick's I reflected on what Madeline was wearing and realized that she was wearing the same plain white ruffled top that she had on when she danced for me two weeks earlier; was this a coincidence in the timing, or does Madeline not re-invest the money she makes in her wardrobe? I hope it's the former.

Summary, I recommend going to Rick's on a night where there are a lot of girls working, so you don't have Ms. Welcome Back Kotter cramp your style by zooming in on you in the VIP section.

Just an update on my experiences as a daytime regular at Ricks (every week or two).

Basically, I'm not seeing many of the usual faces; lots of new faces in day time, but nothing catching my eye- either too skinny or too old. In addition, some of the long-timers, like Sharise, seem to now be holding back; I don't get BBBJ or FS from her, as she claims management is too observant. I don't buy it, but it is what it is.

The only person I bother dancing with at this point is Arianna; she's super low mileage (not even HJ) but is absolutely gorgeous. However, low mileage is boring, and I'd like to find the next wundergirl. Ruby is a cutie, but she's HJ only as far as I know, and I haven't seen her in a while and she's unpredictable (for some reasons, she doesn't treat me as a regular, so I can't hook up with her, so I can't become a regular). Did get her alleged phone # a few weeks ago, last time I saw her, but haven't called it to know if it's real. Does she by any chance do privates?

If others are still getting BBBJ, do tell- days/times, and what girls.



Last time in I had some nice dances with an old favorite. She recently had very expensive implants put in, so had a no-touch rule up there. So I convinced her to allow touching elsewhere, which she did willingly. I kept it at 30s, and after a few she voluntarily started giving me the 40 treatment. It's interesting to see someone every several months for about 5 years, and see the changes. She used to have a harder body, but she's just as pretty now. We talked about cheap versus expensive enhancements. Go into the club and you can see examples of both.

I was driving up the I5 from Portland back to Canada and had to get off of the road to avoide the Seattle rush hour, so what else to do but drop into Rick's for a couple of hours. There might have been 10 customers and 15 dancers on a late Friday afternoon, but the talent level was much higher than I was expecting - a couple of 5's but the rest were in the 7-10 range. I grabbed a seat off of the main stage and bided my time. The girls I wasn't interested in mostly took "No thanks" for an answer and the girls I asked to come back later mostly did. Once the highway lines stopped flashing past my eyes I went into the VIP area with three dancers, all of whom told me that (in spite of the prominnet sign and constant DJ chatter advertising $20 dances) they charged $30 per song. I went back for a second set with Joselyn because she gave the highest mileage and because her outfit gave the best access to roaming hands, but Mr Happy stayed in his cage the entire trip. Overall, however, I had a good time and managed to kill enough time that the interstate was moving again by the time I got back on it.

Great club in my opinion. The women are very friendly just like anywhere else the blow average women show you much much more attention in dances. I love all the grinding one girl offered more if I wanted it but I declined. Over all good club and prepare to spend some money. Dances range from $10 at the table to $50 back in the VIP. And all prices are negocitable. I often paid $20 for each dance back in the VIP topless with lots of touching.

Sarah
Brown hair beautiful green eyes. Just turner 21,nice natural boobs,soft ass. An absolute blast to talk to. Great dance lots of cock strocking bbbj $75. Full service $125. Girl is hot and turns it out . I would love to see Sarah for a private party. This girl take chances and will remove her g string so that you have easier access to her goods. Lots of mutual touching what can I say hot & wet. A very nice time .

Decided to swing by in hopes that the reviews are wrong. Oh well. Guess not. Management is like a hawk and there is very little fun to be had. I guess the lucky ones can find the gems, but overall nada. Stayed there for a few hours and met a few ok dancers. Just average.

Got a few dances but nothing to write about. They were ok, but not great. Nothing like the good old days. I miss the front row seat dances. Where have they all gone? Guess somewhere else. Any suggestions? Will likely try other clubs that haven't gotten the management bug.

I was away for months and then stopped in for a weekday afternoon hoping to see a little improvement. Turns out I was hoping for a little much. There has been some girl turnover, but not really the ones you were hoping would turn over - some girls just stay way past the sell by date for some reason. The management overzealousness did seem to have eased up a bit, which is good if you don't like a manager watching half your dance and not kicking in. The news says that it's legal to open new clubs in Seattle for the first time in a couple of decades. Here's hoping a little competition shakes out some of the cobwebs.

Arrived here around 9:00 pm on a Saturday night. $10 cover and one drink minimum of $5 (no alcohol). The place was about two-thirds full, but the parking lot looked much fuller than that. I will write a review, but I only stayed about 30 minutes and decided to leave, so I do not have all details.

The place was not much to speak of. Two stages and absolutely no stage interaction with the dancers. I believe they have a 6 foot rule.

There is a VIP area that is kind of open but looks very dark. I hear that there is a lot on the menu here. Perhaps there were a lot of customers and dancers in this area (to explain the number of cars in the lot versus customers that I saw in the club).

My main observation is the quality of dancers. I saw about 10 dancers wandering around. I would rate one of them a 6 or 7. All the others were 5 and under. One that did approach was obviously an addict and looked as though she had not eaten in a week. This is the reason that I did not take up the other services. Perhaps there was better quality working in VIP?

Based on this visit I would not return to this club again. In fact, after a half hour I took off and went back to a club in Tacoma that I had recently reviewed.



Rick's is the place to go if you want to get lap dances. On busy nights like Friday or Saturday, there will be as many as 50 girls working. There is a complete range of girls here: thin and thick, early 20s to late 30s, white, black and asian. One notable thing is the number of asian girls working here - if you are interested in petite asian girls, this is the place to go. There are quite a lot of very attractive girls here, but more unattractive ones than you might find at Deja Vu down the street.
As I said, Rick's is the place for lap dances. The girls here hustle a lot, and it is the rare girl that will spend time chatting, especially on a busy night. The girls want to sell dances, and you will be approached regularly. Rick's also allows you to use a credit card to buy poker chips that function as money in the club. Each chip is worth $5, so a couple hundred bucks of chips is a lot of chips. They give you a convenient clear plastic cup to put your chips in, which you have no choice to put on the table. Needless to say, a big plastic cup full of chips is a stripper magnet. If you have one of these in front of you, the girls will be coming up to you constantly. After all, the only thing you can buy with those chips is dances, since you're obviously not going to be slugging down round after round of $5 sodas.
Speaking of money - the cover is $10, but you have to also buy a beverage, which costs $5. No free refills, and if you drink your soda, the waitress will come by and pressure you to buy another. They may even tell you that you have to and that it is house policy. I don't know if this is true or not, but this won't happen if you are regularly getting dances since you won't be at your table. The sodas also taste a bit funny. I don't know if it is the ice, or the mix, or what, but there is something slightly off. I usually just use the soda as a place holder and don't drink it. I'm chewing gum anyway, since I'm getting up close and personal with the girls.
Lap dances are usually $30. There are signs in the club that say dances are $20, but most dancers tell you up front that they dance for $30. Some dancers charge $40. Some dancers will honor the $20 sign, but this is very rare. Rick's is also known as a high mileage club, so it is always fun to ask, "What kind of dances do you do?" Some girls offer the $50/$60 dance, which has a range of meanings, but usually involves some kind of direct contact with the little guy. I find that until you try a girl out, you can't gauge the quality of the dance. One thing to note is that there are all kinds of girls who work at Rick's, despite the reputation. Some girls give nice girl dances where the best you get is some topless flashing and respectful touching. A lot of girls do dances that involve their hands going under or down your shirt, ear nuzzling/biting, over the pants rubbing with their knees, legs, hands, breasts and ass, and you get to do plenty touching and playing with their T&A. Some girls give HJs. A few girls do FS. There are smoking hot girls who do FS as Rick's, and there are plain janes who stick to nice dances, so don't judge the books by their covers. Some guys may have discovered some way to tell what kind of dances a girl gives before getting one, but I have not figured it out. I usually stick to the cheapest dances a girl offers. If I don't like it enough, I try a different girl. As I said, Rick's is a good place to get lap dances, and anything higher mileage is going to be either the fastest or most expensive escort deal in the city.



this place use to rock, where is the new talent? these old girls are getting bitter and old, the manager walking through the aisles. none the less ran into rene, she made it all better with a juicy french lesson followed by a cow girl ride. nice, bathrooms need to be cleaned of used in the urinals. miss arissa is getting a little heavier but her services are stelllar. she can dance

I went to Rick's early tonight (Sunday night). I have not been to Ricks's in two and a half years; primarily because on my last visit, I had $20 stolen from me by one of the dancers who pulled the "I just gave you three dances, not two" routine. I decided to give Rick's another try and just pay for my dances individually. Overall, I had a very enjoyable time with four very nice dancers - each with their own unique abilities.

First up was Sienna - a tall, leggy young girl with very long brunette hair and natural breasts. I negotiated a few $20 dances with her in the VIP area, with some okay two way action. I then "upgraded" to the $30 dance and gave me more than $10 worth back in action. I went back to Sienna for two $30 dances for $50 and I think she was a bit miffed that I didn't give in and give her an extra $10. Overall, she's very nice if your looking for nice legs, pretty face and natural assets.

Next up was Kendall. As written in here, Kendall has a very, very tight six pack and a equally nice booty. She gave me a nice $20 dance and then I upgraded to the $30 and got some nice, close action with her tight, muscular body close up to mine. *Smiles*

I then was approached by Madison, a nice older blonde with perky breasts (implants). She told me she didn't normally work Sunday nights (being on the weeday afternoon shift). I asked her how much for a dance and she said she usually got $30 during the day but agreed to dance for me in VIP for $20. She gave me three very nice $20 dances and I decided to upgrade to the "real" $30. She gave me a lot* of nice action and overall, I think I enjoyed her dances the best of the women who danced for me.

Last up was Caramel. I spent my last $20 on her and was not dissappointed. As stated on this board, she does get a bit "freaky" and she is the dancer for you if you are looking to get off while you are still in the club.

Went to my long time favorite on Saturday late afternoon. Hooked up with Patricia who is part European and part South American. Very friendly. I liked her first dance so I negotiated 4 for $ and I loved every minute of it. I did notice that the songs are a bit short compared to before...but I can't be sure. Rested for a while and took a pretty blonde to VIP. Blanking on her name but she was even better than the first. Left there very happy. My advice: go in the afternoons for mileage, go at night for looks. Late afternoons on a weekend, you could get both. I am spending another couple of days here so I will write again to see if Sunday is any different from Saturday.

Went on Saturday afternoon around 2:30 and there were several average girls. I had two dances with girls w/ big fake tits that fooled me since I don't like fake tits. There was lots of two way contact and they were careful to keep an eye out for the Mgr. All in all the Mgr. didn't ruin the mood. Finally met a small older blonde who was very aggressive and I got as much action as I ever had a Ricks. Happy ending.

Used to be a semi-regular at Ricks (as often as I could get down) but have tended to go to Honeys on my past and less frequent visits to Seattle.
Recently (past Thursday) went to Ricks just after 1PM after the lunch "crowd" rush.
Everything still pretty much the same except I didn't recognize any of the ladies.
Had a nice dance with a fairly attractive "mature" lady in the VIP with the desired result. She didn't even recognize the names of some of the "infamous" stars from the past.
I'm in Seattle again in a couple of weeks and will be off to Honeys. Basically I believe better service but less attractive performers.

The place is pretty obviously changing and getting more inconsistent on both general and particular dances. I stopped in on a Thursday afternoon around 2 a couple of weeks ago. Reasonable number of customers and dancers. I usually go earlier in the day when there is almost no one there. Saw several new girls and several old friends. Was actually planning on just having a couple of dances with someone new and turned down requests from several. One thing I must say I have had plenty of dances from some of the ladies and they are always polite and friendly when I say I am going to try something new. No attitude, just a smile and have a good time. Last visit and review I was plenty disappointed. After watching dancers for about an hour favorite Sybil came on stage. After she danced she immediately came over to me and said we needed to dance. I mentioned that I was only there for a couple of dances. No problem they need to be with me. How do you say make up call in a strip club. Wow and wow. Should have rated a ten but the club is just to inconsistent to get much more than an eight.

It's been a long time since I stopped by Rick's. It will be even longer. The only people I recognized were the house manager and DJ. The better looking dancers were quite pushy, not as friendly as in the past. I watched the VIP area and did not see anything that looked like what I have experienced in the past. My most reliable Rick's talent has moved north, so I guess I will continue the commute to Everett when I am in the mood. I went early in the day on a Tuesday. Things might be more lively with a different set of entertainers. I'll keep watching here for a positive report.

I stopped by Rick's earlier this afternoon. It must have been a slow day. I tried dances with a couple of different girls after sitting and watching the flow out of the VIP. I had a very poor experience. There was no energy in the club. It's been awhile between visits but the quality of the dancers is way down. Lots of older girls in the 3 - 5 range. The short older girl with the large fake rack gave poor dances. The older Korean/Asian girl was also equally bad. I won't be back until I hear more positive posts.

Went back to Rick's after a two year hiatus. Have been reading on the boards about the decline in the quality and have to agree. I went on a recent Friday afternoon and found that the club has changed dramatically. Previously, the quality of the entertainers was significantly higher. When in the past, you would have had numerous girls you would have liked to have taken for a lap dance, now the pickings were slim. In additon the dances were not of the high quality they once were.

The reason for the 7 is that despite the decline, Rick's is still significantly better then the majority of the clubs you will visit.

Went again on a Thursday afternoon. I only saw one of my favorites, but she was occupied for a long time. I finally decided on a girl who looked good and gave a great dance.There are still two managers some days, but when I was in on Tuesday there was only one and she rarely checked the back room. I'm scoreing the club well because the rules have become more lax again,

I visited on Feb 12 around 10:30pm. Paid $10 cover and $5 for a Coke. There really is no tipping at the stage (no one did), so for the dancers the money come from VIP dances. I was quoted $30 per song. The ones I experienced had plenty of contact. Some will tell you what you can touch; others didn't say anything and on one of them I pushed the limits and got to touching the kitty without any comment. With plenty of attractive women here and decent mileage, I would recommend this place to others.

I visited Ricks while on a biz trip a few months back. I had heard many good things about over the years, so my expectations were pretty high. I went on a Friday afternoon. I was extremely disappointed and didn't stay for an hour. There were few girls, they were not very hot, the decor had this shiny/seedy feel to it. After visting Ricks, I have come to conclusion that the Pacific NW is probably one of the worst strip club regions around - otherwise, how could such a mediocre joint get such good reviews. People in Seattle need to visit the Florida clubs, particularly the Tampa clubs - I rate Mons Venus a 10 and Ricks a 2.

I've stayed away from Rick's for the past couple years only stopping in occasionally to see if things had gotten any better. It still has a long way to go to get back to the glory days but there are a few gems out there.

Many of my long time favorite dancers have moved on and while there are a few left I get bored with the same girls. Trying new dancers is hit and miss. Even when I try one that seems busy with repeat customers I often wonder why they get repeats.

The last couple afternoons I stopped in I got the same dancer, she's new to me but said she'd been there a few years. She ended up getting quite a few dances from her spending everything I brought in. Now if I could just find a few more like her I'd be back in again on a regular basis.

Decided to vist once more, it had been about two years since I had been there and my first experience was fantastic. This time it was a Wed night and the overall quality had gone down hill a bit. After walking in I was almost immediately approached by several girls offering me a dance, and although they were a 7-10 scale they seems pushy for not being that busy. One of the girls gave me a few dances and those were definately worth it. I think I got lucky with my pick since she was my only dances of the evening. I liked it but my try something else if I'm in Seattle in the near future.

Based on the reviews I had seen it was time to venture to Seattle to try Rick's out once again. Visited on a Tuesday afternoon. Ratio of dancers to patrons was 2 to 1. Alot of action on the stage and in the VIP area. Opted for a 3/$100 option from a beautiful black dancer. Was not disappointed; alot of hand action that left me a happy man in the end. Will be back soon to partake in the activities. Better than my last visit, however has a ways to go to get back to good ole days.

I don't understand what happened to this place. Several years ago Rick's had an abundance of fine looking girls working there with mileage out of this world.
I went in on a Saturday afternoon and Anna, Whom I don't really care for, came over and gave me the usual sales pitch on how she 'undercuts' all of the other girls prices. A tall stripper came over and I agreed to going with her to the V.I.P. area. I only bought one dance from her. There was a little bit of grindage but, that's about it. when her ass was in my face I could smell the raw sewage that had recently come out on her last trip in to the restroom. She also had a lowsy set of storebought, fake boobs with the scariest nipples I'd ever seen.
Management heavilly patrols the V.I.P area so it's just become a place with just so-so looking dancers, not much in the way of mileage and just a lot of tension in the air.

Visited a few times during the day in the last couple of weeks. There are some new faces I haven't seen and some of the old tried and true ones are still working there. I have to agree with some of the other posters that things are getting better, but I also heard a few girls got caught and have been fired or suspended from the club. I've been getting dances from some of the new girls and some old ones that I've never danced with before. This club still remains the best in the Seattle area.

I stopped at Rick's around Halloween. It was an early Friday afternoon, so there were few visitors. The waitress greeted me at the door with a smile. I paid the cover and made my way to one of the tables in front the first stage. A few minutes later the waitress showed up with my drink. I paid for the drink and tipped her, which seemed to surprise her. I spend the next few minutes getting comfortable and enjoying the girl on the stage. Being Halloween and all, they had new decoration that gave the place a pleasant atmosphere.
Different girls came by to offer a dance, but I refused because I wanted to get acquainted with the place before I proceeded to go to the VIP area. One of the girls made a very good impression because she stayed just as friendly with me after my refusal for a dance. Most girls did not say anything, just moved on to the next guy. The nice girl (forgot her name) came back about thirty mins later and asked me if I was enjoying myself. I asked her to sit down and talk to me for a few minutes. She obliged. We talked for about 5minutes and she gave me a deal on a few dances. I can say that the dances were very good, lots of grinding and touching. I left the place with a smile. Will definitely visit the place again.

Stopped here a back in October and meant to post. I wasted my time at some little hole in the wall club North of here, with scary looking and heavy set woman. Was ready to wrap it up for the night and return to the hotel, when I figured I'd give Ricks a try. Ricks had many women, most very attractive and willing to please. Wound up returning the next night for an encore and was equally pleased, even though there were different dancers. As far as I'm concerned, there's no reason to go anywhere else. I'll return the next time I'm in the area! I did the 9pm to 12pm shift.

Was in in the morning a couple of weeks ago and immediately ran into a current favorite. Sybil, petite spinner with store bought chest. Not a bad job nice to the touch. Went to the vip and immediate action no discussion of cost as this was about the 5th time for dances. Lots of inference and hints at what might happen. At the end of a satisfying time I handed her the money and she wanted to know how much I was giving her. I said the same as everytime before and she acted a little confused. Counted the money and said it wasn't enough. Sorry I said and added about 40 more which was all I had. Maybe you need to try another dancer she said and walked off. Fine with me but cost was pushing the limits of value received. Can't really recommend her anymore. Try someone else.

I have heard for years about this club as being one of the great clubs of all time anywhere. I pulled up to very sparse parking lot, went inside, and was met with a pretty deserted place. There were several girls working. But just opposite of what the previous post described, they were all tiny and skinny. They were not that enthusiastic either. But not surprising considering the place was pretty dead. I waited around through the entire cycle of dancers hoping one would appear that could get me excited. But nothing. A few of the girls approached me asking for a private and appearing to imply there was fun to be had. But since none of the girls really appealed to me, I didn't try the private dances. I'm not saying the place is bad. I was just prepared for SRO crowds, lively activity going on, etc. May try again sometime to see if this was an exception.

I visited on a Thursday afternoon. There were a bunch of girls, but not a great selection. Many on the larger side. No one who really got my juices flowing. The girls are nice though about being turned down for dances. I had several basic ($30) dances with a young thin brunette - they were fun - typical Ricks roaming hands allowed. Guess I didn't experience the "return to form" that others are talking about. At least getting your hands on some T & A is still a sure thing here.

I really think the girls have figured out how to make the Rick's experience fun again. Late day shift is still the best time to stop by. You get a good mix of girls that have been there for most of the day as well as the girls who are coming on for the night shift. It seems like the best 'bang' is from the girls who want to make an extra 50 just before they leave for the day. The management still tours the edge of the private dance area fairly frequently, but if you get wedged in the corner behind the DJ booth, its difficult for them to see what might be going on. As always, negotiate a deal before you head back to the back or before your dancer starts. I like the 3 for 100 or 'lets start with a twenty and if I like it we can do the other two for 80. That makes them try a bit harder to please you right off the bat, plus it flushes out the air dancers without dropping 40 bucks. It seems that the hot blondes that work here are all air dancers, that rely soley on their good looks to make money. I have had the best luck with the hot brunettes or dirty blondes. lots of milage for the money. just remember if you don't ask or at least hint at what you want, you won't be leaving happy! and we all love a happy ending don't we!

Checked out Ricks on a fri night. I know all the reports here says to go in the daytime, but try and convince my buddies that is another thing. Fair amount of good looking girls. Hard to get dances from the certain girls as they are constantly busy. I don't like the fact that you need to ask every girl what her prices for lap dances are. If you don't, you're liable to be stuck with 40 dollar dances.
Anyways, much harder to get extras as compared to the dayshift.

Weekday afternoon, and I gotta say the time I had was the closest to the "old days" that I've had at Rick's in a long time. Spent some time with one of my ATF's, saw lots of familiar and friendly faces. It was actually a somewhat relaxed atmosphere...a little more "looking out" than there was way back when, but still plenty of nice action. Hopefully it wasn't just a one time thing...maybe a sign of times a-changin' back to the way they used to be???? Probably just wishful thinking....

Out of all the local clubs, I'd have to say Rick's trumps them all. Obviously the nights with the most girls are on the weekends. The flipside to that is the number of guys is almost triple. Getting attention from the girls can be hard when your surrounded by tables packed with guys. It's definitly got the best variety of quality gorgeuous women but watch out as there is also a varies on what girls will let you do. You can get anywhere from full contact to a lame air dance. This is definetly the club to go to in the Seattle area.

I stopped by a couple weeks ago to see if things have calmed down and settled in. This evening there seemed to be only 2 holdovers from the old days and they didnt arrive til very late, one of which was one I had hoped would move on. The layout is the same with benches in back and hotel chairs and 1 ft round tables for the required 5 dollar drink after the ten admission. Settled for a couple tame dances with a couple 8's. As always ymmv and if you are promised anything its not going to be so.. peace, out.

When Rick's is good, it is very, very good. There are several high quality dancers here - Ivy is one of my favorites, but there are several very good looking dancers. There are also a lot of not so hot dancers. Most dancers charge $30 for a decent dance, even though a big sign says $25. You can get a really good dancefo $30, so I would avoid anyone who charges $40 for a dance. However, a $50 dance will take you to 'the next level', so to speak. On those, some girle are more effective than others - some just running up the tab, others really making it worth your while. Dinghy atmosphere and Washington no drinking thing makes this a little less attractive than it might be, but with the right dancer it is a very good time.

Had a good time at Rick's on a thursday afternoon. The cover was $10 and a compulsory $5 nonalcoholic drink was purchased at the door (first of two). The gals circulated when they were not on stage. This is not a place in which talent circulates for dollar tips. There were two dancers I liked. One approached me and I hit the other one up after her stage dance. Both sat with me in the couch room area while the song ended and chit-chatted. Both told me that dances were $30 to $40 per song but these values are negotiable...Contact and milage were excellent. I found Rick's to be a fun place to visit and would definitely go again on a trip to the emerald city.

I'm lowering my rating for this review because my last visit was a little disappointing. Te service was the same high caliber, but the attitude wasn't there. The dancer kept talking about another oe of her regulars who was there and how she wanted to hurry up and get to him because he was a big spender, then to slow things down she started talking about the manager being on her back and a number of other topics that definitely didn't set the mood. This review is to remind the dancers that it's about looks, service and ADDITUDE.

This review is a bit tard, but my last visit to Ricks was very very solid. It was a dayshift which always makes the experience better - imho. I lounged and watched a long time, until I had several dances from Di***on. She was a bit mechanical, but her assets and willingness to please overshawoded her business like approach. I passed on dances from R**e who is a bit silly, but always finishes her dances well.

I still wish people would keep the bathroom cleaner.

An update on Rick's these days:

Nighttime still sucks. most recently, I was there later than normal on day shift, and around 7:30 a night timer starting her shift, "Paris", came up to me with the "Hey handsome, would you like a dance?". I'm no fool, but she was reasonably attractive and I was polite and said "I've finished up for the day, but maybe next time?" Her face turned instantly to a snarl, before I could finish responding, and she said "No, there won't BE a next time". Wow. Not since the absolutely horrific Charley left have I gotten such rudeness at Rick's. That's the nightshift for you. :)

Daytime, however, I've consistently been able to get highest of mileage from several trusted sources, as well as pretty good medium mileage dances from some younger hotties.

Arianna may be my new favorite; haven't seen her in a few weeks, she might be moving to nights which would be sad. She's hot as hell, and fun sensual dancer. I don't get high or even medium mileage (through-the-pants stick shifting only) but the dances are such fun, and she's so damn hot, I'm cool with that when I'm in the right mood.

Sharise is still around, and still as fun as ever. Different kind of dancer, worth looking for. She picks you more than you pick her; like some other dancers, she's the "few customers of high quality" than the "burn through suckers one $30 dance at a time". Only problem is a guy can wait for some time for her to be freed up.

Devon is ultra high mileage if you want, but something about her doesn't click with me. She's mid-30's, good shape, but I think I was put off when, mid-screw, she told me her boobs were all natural. they aren't, and I'm not a moron. So... what was that?!? She sucks a mean dick, screws like a champ, she doesn't need to lie to me to get my business. :)

Mariah is fun when I'm in the mood, and I like that she gets I'm not the typical 'sucker'; I know what I'm getting from her, and she doesn't waste my time with promises she won't fulfill. We have fun, we're consenting adults, I know she's not the highest mileage and she knows that she'll never trick me into blowing a load by thinking I'll be blowing a load. :)

Ruby... super cute, and yeah she gives good medium mileage dances, but I *hate* that she does that lame "Oh, if we weren't here, I'd totally ______" (choose your own: fuck you silly, suck your dick, etc). C'mon, ladies, we're not dummies, and we're not fooled. At least, I'm not. Knowing that she is trying that crap on me sours what are decent sensual dances with HJ options, so I don't know if I'll see her again.

Oh, and I tried to post a couple of weeks ago in response to BillyTom's question, but it was removed after it showed up... not sure why. Anyway, the big-boobed latina is monse/monsain (not sure of the spelling). haven't seen her around in a few weeks.

Was there this past Sunday from 6-8:30 to see how are things going at Ricks (I know, bad time, but a dancer I knew said she was going to work that night- she didn't). A good number of good looking gals, the manager doesn't make as many inspection trips up and down the aisles, but it's a pale shadow compared to what it used to be in the past. One honorable mention- Kendall, a tall fit blond with a nice six-pack who teaches aerobics.

Stopped by last week and was jumped on(really) by Sara. She seemed a little on edge but promised the world. Price was a little high so I declined but did have a couple of dances. No activity by the manager as it was early in the day. Still the best time for VIP dances. Noticed a sign that says dances are $20 minimum. That I think is to eliminate some arguement but all the more reason to ask prices before dances. A couple of real cuties came in as I was leaving so will have to go back to check them out. Kind of an average day all around. Encouraging though that supervision seemed to be a little more liberal.

Went twice in one week on a recent business trip to the Seattle area. I still hope for the return of the old days (only a year ago) when the place was very busy with beautiful women that would play. The first time was on a Tuesday afternoon and I was disappointed in the quality of girls, about 6-8 of them but all were about 7 or less. spent about an hour there and didn't partake in any dances. The second visit was on the next Wednesday, late night. More customers, and the women were in the 6-9 range so a definite improvement over the afternoon group. The place was still not really busy which sometimes is best. Had a couple of dances but while back there I didn't get the great attention as previous visits and I noticed that other "couples" weren't quite as "upclose and private" as before. The dances had good grinding but strictly "legal".

Went to Rick's on a Wednesday around 5 PM. Never been there this early so I wanted to go see it. The place was pretty much empty. There were only around 8 girls working. Most of them scoring between 4 and 7. There are a lot more attractive girls during the night, but I received a lot more attention there from all the girls during the day. I got 3 high mileage dances from a tall dark skinned girl with sandy blonde hair for the standard VIP price.

If you are planning on going to Rick's, I recommend you to go at night since there will be a better selection of girls.

Visited on a Tuesday around noon. Still early enough in the day that the old dude manager was the only one working the floor, which is to say he wasn't working it much at all. Got some dances from Sadie, who definitely knows why she's there and why guys go to Ricks.

Sadly, my time with her was interrupted by her being called to the stage, even though she'd just come off the stages 4 songs earlier. Seems that some of the girls who were there had managed to get out of taking their place in the rotation, despite the fact that they were out of the dressing room and on the floor. Very annoying, and a trend I'd like to see stamped out. If they have so few girls that they're up for two and down for four, then it's a better idea to have only a single stage open and run two songs per girl on that one stage.

Around 1 or 1:30 the younger female manager showed up and tightened things up considerably in the VIP. Fun can still be had, but the glory days of serious uninterrupted play seem to be gone and past.

Rick's is still the best place in Seattle, especially during days, but it no longer holds the appeal it once did.

I've been going her for 15 years. The girls are great. Management even decorates the place for the holidays. Evenings are loaded with lots of hot women. Make sure you tip the waitresses, you won't regret it.

There is always a girl here for anyone's type. Lovely asians, tatooed vixens, girl-next-door types, eastern euros, you name it. Cover is $10 with a $5 drink minimum.

This place even has a waitress night. I went last time and it was definately worth it. The waitresses sure are smokin!!

Has anyone had a dance from a small, big boobed latin girl? She has dark hair, and a scar on her chest, like from open-chest surgery. I've heard she does very good dances, quite high milage if you pay enough...
I got a recommendation from a friend about her, so I thought I'd ask here, so see if anyone has any experience with her. Was he correct?
I'd like to know of any experiences with her, I believe that she works on weekend evenings, but I don't remember her name.

Went in the friday after thanksgiving from 6:00 to 9:00 roughly and had dances from girls - mishka and roxanna. I've had dances from mishka before - she's a very cute and sensuous girl with a booty to die for. she's very sexy and i like her attitude but she would never take me to the brink if you know what i mean.

then i got a couple dances from this tall, beautiful light skinned black woman named roxanna and she is awesome. before the dances started she said "you can touch me anywhere except here (pointing to her kitty)" and about 10 seconds into the dance her top was loosened and I had hold of her perfect c cups or her incredible ass the whole time and she rode me in various positions bringing me to the edge while rubbing her ass on me for the last minute or so of the second song. she is a real winner and would get dances from her any time! and damn is she gorgeous.

the only reason i gave the club a 9 instead of 10 is that in the old days of rick's you'd have 10 girls like roxanna to choose from but now there are only 1 or 2 girls per shift of that quality.

I was in there last Friday and there were some hot girls and it seems like the VIP patrol has loosened up. There was a really cute little black girl and a hot little aisan in a school girl outfit. The quality of the newer girls is higher than in quite a while. I'd say things are improving there and especially the ability to get some higher mileage dances. I'll be back in there soon.
I'd love to know more about the little black girl. She looks like she'd give a great dance. I was with a little blond so didn't get to her last time. As always Ricks is one of the best in the area.


Dropped into Ricks Tuesday afternoon about 2pm. Good number of girls working that equalled the number of patrons. Most of the girls were in the 7-8 category with a few on each side. Probably a slow day for the girls working there, I was approached every 30 seconds for the first 10 minutes there. Spent some quality time ($30 LD) with Jocelyn and Destiny (both 8-9's), both have worked there 2-3 years. It was Destiny's first day back after a long break. I'm not a regular, only my second visit ever - these girls were out standing. Both were very much into their job and made for a fun time. Other posts comment about rules and boundaries, no such thing this day :) I didn't partake in any extra's but it wasn't difficult to know that they were available. I will be back ...

Went to Rick's on a Saturday late evening. The place was packed... barely found a parking spot. Tons of girls but not a lot of 10's... mainly 6-7's with a few 8-10's. Got a dance from Mary Jane (sp?). Mostly air but definately the hottest girl in the club by far. Also charges 30 but out of frusturation I took it. Will go back but no dances with MJ.

I stopped in a few times in the last couple weeks after staying away for a long time. I came by twice on the weekday during the day and once on Sunday. There were plenty of good dancers that I recognized and I got a few dances that were on par with what I got here over a year ago. Many of my favorites have moved on and I will have to start trying some new faces but it looks like Ricks is beginning to recover.

I first heard good things about this club a few years back. I can't say that it was disappointing, but it certainly wasn't as good some of the clubs in bigger cities (Vegas, NYC, LA, Miami, etc.). There was a good mix, with someone for everyone, but not really any 9s or 10s. Didn't get any lap dances, so I can't recommend anyone. All in all, a nice night with eye candy, but nothing to really brag about.

Visited for first time in about a year. Wasn't as bad as I had heard recently, but not as great as it once was.

Evening visit. Girls ranged from 5 to 10. Some skinny, some chubby, some natural, some enhanced. Plenty of choices. A good selection of black, white and Asian chicks. Did not talk to any of the Eastern Europeans who had cropped up a couple of years ago.

Mileage was relatively low in the VIP. Three of the four girls I got dances with had a hands off policy regarding their boobs. I'm thinking, is this Rick's? Grindage was generally good, at least from those who understood the concept. I paid $30 for most dances; was offered 20s by one girl, and tried a 40 from another (which was, as far as I could tell, indistinguishable from her 30.)


Visited a couple late afternoons over the past 3 months. The VIP is getting back to usual -- maybe not the free-for-all of a couple years ago, but much, much better than early this year. Still found that $30 is the baseline for high quality dances; some dancers offer higher options, some of which can be worth it... Quality of dancers remains in the 6-9 range, but perhaps a bit less artificial enhancement and tattoos than in the past. And being smoke-free is GREAT!!

I've been a couple of times recently. I am an early arrival as often as I can be. Several good things happen at that time of day. One and foremost the manager is usually busy with administrative tasks and in the first hour rarely if ever makes a tour of the VIP area. Now I know that is a preference for a lot of guys for young hard bodies. I prefer a good looking experienced woman who knows exactly what she is doing. The last couple of times there have been only a half dozen dancers or so but most were really good looking and more than willing to entertain for a reasonable fee. I even ran into an old favorite named Sadie. She is getting older and a little heavier but still has a great attitude and terrific hands and a wonderful set of naturals. Not to gentle but not too rough. Just right.

best club i've been to. girls are I think as loose as they come, some pretty attractive, some not so, but what do you expect? you can spend alot here. More recently, theyve been cracking down so girls aren't as willing to get nasty and when management circles the vip area, it spoils the mood.

Went to Rick's last Sunday afternoon. Had not gone during the afternoon for a loooong time due to declining talent. Was not much impressed this time either. Still way too many over the hill dancers (40's and 50's). There was only one dancer that looked hot enough to interest me in a dance (Sky). I had a dance from Janika once in the past, and she is nice, but the smoker's breath is a real turn off. Mimi was there too, but she was completely without her make-up and she looked so plain. Unfortunately, this is really the only decent club in Washington State. With the moritorium on strip clubs gone, when are some new clubs gonna emerge to challenge this place, or some of the other clubs gonna attract more talent. All of the other clubs in WA are a couple steps below Rick's, and sometimes the girls in those clubs look downright scary! It didn't use to be that way.

Still a great place. Some girls try to charge $40 for dances now, but there are quite a few that do $30s still. You can also always ask for a $20 dance, which will be much more of a dance you'll get in many other clubs, but not the best you can get. Normally, $30 is a good deal.

On the positive side, overall looks of the girls seem to improve. Didn't see any dog-ugly onces when I was there last Friday. Normally a few will slip in, but not this time.

I got a couple of dances from Penelope. She had nice slender but curvy body, blond hair, nice natural breasts, and great personality. I got a couple of dances, and left with a smile on my face. Paid $30/dance cause it was worse it and she never stopped my hands. Great time with a super hottie - what can be better?

So I'm trying to make myself a regular at this place, coming at least 2 times a month, but I can't ever seem to see the same girls. There is great variety but it really doesn't help when you're trying to establish a favorite. Got a couple of laps from an asian girl with enhancements but was all good. Her stage show left a lot to be desired but looked way to hot to pass up. Good grinding but definitely wanted some mutual touching. Spent a good amount of time with her, but needed to leave. Will be back next week, if time allows.

Went in on a weekday afternoon about a week ago and had the best experience I've had in a few years here. The managers were staying out of the VIP for a change and so I got the full attention of a longtime fav.

I'm interested in the porn credits and other web appearances of Ricks dancers past and present. This is what I know of:

Cricket(Dayshift a few years ago, dances were nothing special) and Candy Cotton(Nightshift ages ago, I used to remember her stripper name)have extensive porn credits any porn search engine should find you.

Sassy's(Gone about a year now, probably gone for good) appearance on the ABC show "Are You Hot?" is still archived by AOL Video. Episode 3 at the 16:30 mark.

I was here last year around this time. It was a good time. The women where lovely, most where a little above avreage looking. The dances where short, but sweet. If your looking for a "Full" xperience, this is not the place.The contact is enough to send you on your way feeling good. The drinks where like any other place, so don't expact then to pur it on.I was here on buisnness and had a really goos time here. There was not many places in this area, Soo, if your looking to have a satisfying dance with beauty full woman, head over to this place. It was not to far from down town either.

Was here on a mid-day afternoon, and the place hasn't changed much from previous visits. Several familiar faces, even much more newer ones. There is a decent variety of girls, though. Dances in the VIP are advertised as $20, but be sure to ask the dancer up front how much she charges, because many start at $30. Overall, we had a good trip. got a few dances from a tall slender brunette with tattoos on her shoulders, and another dance from a short blonde. Mileage was about average. With pressure from the police, the Management has still been patrolling every song.

Went on a rare evening visit to Ricks and it was pretty packed on a thursday - lots of cuties though - just watch out for the ones that give the weak dances. you can tell if you keep an eye in the vip area.

overall lots of hot girls though (kinda hotter than the typical day shift but the mileage is not as high for sure) girls at night are moving through the customers faster too.

THe club is nice when you walk in with many tables and a lot of girls. I would estimate that the night i went there there was 40 girls working there. I went here a couple of weeks and it had been a few yers since mu last trip. This place always confuses me. I read how wonderful it is here but everytime I go there i find the girsl pushy and not that attractive. I guess becasue i am not a reagular I do not feel special. I feel like I am being husteld all the time here. ANyway, my next trip to Seattle I am going to trip some place new.

came in last weekend to check out the scene - the wandering fun police kept me out for a while. the good news is that they were much more relaxed, and i didn't notice a lot of managerial intrusion on my time. the bad news is that when the club is struggling like it's been lately, a lot of the women you might really want to see aren't showing up as much, at least not in the slower part of the day. day girls are shifting later to pick up on some of the evening action and that means that the early girls are mostly limited to the very familiar faces. here's hoping things pick up a little now that some of the pressure seems to be easing up.

Hey thirdbase, that girl you're thinking of is probably "Akasha" (tall, thin, dark hair, tiny bit "goth" looking with a name to match).

Hey, what's the deal with Ruby? From thirdbase's comment, it sounds like she's been at Rick's a while, but the first time I saw her was only a few weeks ago. caught her eye as she was getting off stage, said hello, she said hi back and then kept walking- weird. She then gave one dance to a guy, and came back and told me sorry she didn't stop earlier, but that was a regular. We then went and had some decent (low mileage) dances. A little later, figured I'd flag her down for some more fun, caught her before she was going on stage, and she said she'd come right over after her set. Instead, she went with some swarthy dude, they sat in the VIP and talked for like 6 songs, did one dance, she goes back on stage for another set. Then she runs off stage completely naked across the floor to the dressing room, comes out dressed, and walks out with that same guy! But she came back in a few minutes later, as I was leaving.

Flash forward to last Saturday, swung by Rick's and saw Ruby again. First, I was in the back with Lexi (meh, nothing special there) and Ruby was in the booth in front of mine, totally going to town with that *same* swarthy dude, I believe. If they weren't actually screwing, it was a hell of an imitation, as she was pounding on his lap a mile a minute, with a dull "thud thud thud" of the booth seat bouncing back and forth, her head back, his head back and he arching up into her, etc.

Now I'm excited, thinking "Huh, WAY higher mileage than I thought...". Catch her a bit later, ask her to swing by as she's finishing her set. This time she didn't flake out and came over, we got several dances. Here's the weird part. After 4 dances, she asks me "What do you like to do" and "Do you want to see the front or the back?" I obviously reply in kind, and am wearing loose sweat pants for easy access. However, after she fumbles with my drawstring, I take myself out. She does some caressing, then puts it back in. That was the only mileage I got, and she was otherwise very "tease-y", which I hate (you know, the "pretend to lean in for a kiss and last minute swerve" trick, etc).

Anyway, very long-winded, but I'm curious what's the story on her. She's quite cute, and younger than a lot of the dancers at Rick's day shift these days. If she does higher mileage, then it's very YMMV- I've typically found that as far as I know, I get as good a mileage as one can get (being overall relatively decent as a human being). So it's a little weird if I'm getting low mileage from an otherwise potentially high mileage girl.


Also, a side note about Rick's aisle monitoring: while I noticed that the last couple of times I've gone in the manager has not gone into the VIP at all (it was Dagmar on Saturday, and even SHE was staying out of the VIP), the mileage overall seems to not be there. But they've definitely eased WAY up on the monitoring, such that it's not there any more that I've seen.

Hadn't been in for quite a while, so made an appearance at Ricks this past weekend. Early afternoon, not much of a crowd. Nice to see that the cover and drink charges hadn't gone up. Still $10 and 5+tip. Also nice to see that old friends Janica, Lauren, Ruby are still there. VIP area was busy. Manager shined a light on a few of us back there but didn't walk around and hassle to much. Would have liked to take a lap with the tall dark haired dancer with the 8 inch boots. WOW, her name started with an A. Wish I could remember her name. Anyways, Rick's almost seemed like the old days. Maybe its because they remembered me. I may just try to go back and see what the weekdays are like this week. Also for all of her fans, got word that Pandora is still working there. Think my wallet is going to take a giant hit in the near future.

Dropped by on a Saturday afternoon. About 20 ladies working and 15 PLs in the place. Rather than get dances right away decided to see the whole rotatation of dancers. Most of the stage shows were pretty boring. Did see one dancer with energy and a smile. Took her for 5 songs and had a great time. While watching the stage shows notice that alot of girls come out of the VIP and go right after the next PL. I was hoping that there would be alittle cleanup time after dances. The dancer I got dances from just got there, so I was her " first".

Came here reading reviews that the place was back to normal or at least near normal. Was not the case, but still had a pretty good time. There are some hot girls here and I still think depending on the girl can have some real fun. If you're looking for more than contact lap dances then the place kinda sucks for that now, but still better than a lot of other places. The night I went there were at least 20 girls walking around. Also if your into asians, this is the place to be. I got a couple of dances from one full figured asian girl, plenty of grinding but would've loved to get some mutual touching. Tried but was denied.

Business seems to have really fallen off. I was in last Thursday at about 7:30. There were maybe 10 guys, about as many dancers, and only one of the stages operating - and that's a first. I've been in there at slow times before, but never only one stage going.

The dancers that night were mainly in the 5-6 range, with a couple of 8's thrown in. Again, not a good sign for Rick's. The good news - I had a few private dances from the only dancer there who was my type, and they were very good dances. They were along the lines of the old standard Rick's night time dances - good contact in both directions, but no fs. All in all, a good time and hopefully business will pick up and there will be a better selection next time around.

Had not been there for quite a while and with all of the publicity I was not expecting too much. However, this is probably one of the best places in the Northwest. Oregon is all air dances and few clubs in Washington have any contact during dances. There were 20+ girls on a Thursday night and only a few that were under 6's, mostly 7-8 and a couple of 9's. Laps were satisfying for me, I am not looking for total satisfaction - just some close eye and body contact. One of my buddies said he had a totally satisfying time a week during the afternoon but since he was with us he was happy to have a "lighter" dance and not have to hide any "satisfying eveidence." I guess some of the good times are back if you are looking for it!

If ever a ymmv statement was needed Rick's is the definition. Stopped in Wednesday last week. Just after opening. Three customers and four dancers. 6's and 7's. More ladies coming in by the minute. New ladies asked for dances without much enthusiasm. A couple who recognized me as a regular were much more friendly and persuasive. Promises made and kept. Early as it was the manager seemed to be busy doing business things as opposed to patrolling the dance area. Dancers were discrete but serious about satisfying desires. Best it has been in a year. Will return to confirm continued progress.

Recently visited Rick's on a Friday evening. Things were somewhat slower than I expected for a weekend, but plenty of dancers were available ranging from 4s to 9s. Enjoyed a couple of very full contact laps from a couple of cuties in the VIP section. I still love the privacy here--a great scene for intimate pleasures. In spite of the relative high price for laps ($20 to $30) Ricks is still my favorite club of the many that I have visited in the Pacific northwest.

Made my final stop of the summer before heading back East on an early Wednesday afternoon. It was the usual crop of noontime performers plus or minus a couple. Almost all the young ladies were frisky and enjoyed themselves to a greater -- or in a couple of cases, lesser -- degree and the Sex Nazi was considerably less active than on previous visits this summer. Maybe it was just too early in the afternoon and she wasn't warmed up yet, or maybe the BS is slacking off. There is, however, no evidence of a return to the previously flagrant fun and games. The laps were all worth the time, and money as well I'd have to say.

I was in on a Tuesday night. Virtually all new faces to me, and young (read, inexperienced). I turned away many dance offers. Finally a cute, confident 24 year old AA girl sat on my lap and convinced me to hit the VIP area for some dances. She allowed lots of touching and returned the favor. A manager came by and waited to see if my pants were still buckeled up - they were, and she walked on. Good time. But the club is nothing like it used to be. $10 to get in, with $5 drink mandatory. Dances tend to be $30 a pop, though you'll get quoted higher prices.

Went to Rick's on a weekday afternoon a couple of weeks ago. Was hoping to see C***** but she wasn't there. Hope she hasn't already moved from the area. She is/was fun, sensual, and always had interesting things to chat about. Looked around for someone to be my new favorite. Must have a pretty face, slender body, and great smile. Gave K*** a try. Though have heard lots of good things about her, we just did not "click". Hoping to see and try out G***** next time I'm there.

Was there last week for quickie. I'm not sure where the manager was, but did not see him or her for at least an hour. New girls are Wendy, Jill and Danika. It was MY pleaseure to party with all three. Finished up with Wendy and left VERY happy! I think this was a "hit" day as the conversations I had with some of the regulars was that most of the days are not like this. Hope this continues. Maybe it was because I was there right at opening instead of around 2:00 when I regularly show up.

Weird place. Sometimes this place is off the hook. Best looking women in the Northwest by far. But sometimes so the place is so subdued that you can't have any fun. On this trip, there was ton of people and a lot of girls but all seemed trying to hard to hustle. Was offered some extras right off the bat, using that to entice me to get to the VIP. Friend told me the manager was trolling while he was back there, so I declined. Stage dances were same old stuff and other went home without getting a dance.

Ricks is by far the best strip club in Seattle from the ones that I have visited (Sands, Deja Vu and Showgirls). The club has very clean atmosphere. There are two dance floors one on each side of the club with seating for about 50-75 people. There is a $10 cover charge. VIP dances are $20 each but many girls offer to provide higher value dances for $30-$50. During the day hours there are about 10-15 girls on the floor. At night there are more (probably 20-25). Most girls leave you alone if you refuse dances. Hustle factor is pretty low. The waitress will probably stop by every hour or so to see if you want any additional drinks but they don't hustle either.

The VIP dances are the best value. I think they may have even stopped offering non-VIP dances. Depending on the girl you hook up with YMMV. I have had some pretty good and some mediocre experiences. My recommendation is to stay away from girls who look like real professional danceers if you are trying to get the maximum mileage.

Yeah, yeah. The manager is a bitch. Get over it. I was there on a Wednesday afternoon. The manager came around even in the remote far corner more than I would have liked. It didn't stop two of my ATFs, Max and Ireland, from showing me a terrific afternoon. As always, afternoons are better than evenings, but if you want complete privacy I guess you have to stay home. As best as I could tell, the other PLs were having a pretty darn good time too. Rick's remains the best club north of Vegas and west of Chicago.

Rick's is back to normal. There is still a roaming manager but the girls don't seem to worry too much about her. She walks by, they cover you up for a second, and then it's back to business. They have figured out a way to keep us and the managers happy! Go during the day- night shift is crazy. Daytime ladies are experienced and eager to please. I went Monday during lunch hour. There were already 10-15 girls there. What a variety! Had a few dances with Mimi, an incredible asian girl. Then I "finished up" with a favorite. Spent $160 total and left happy. Not too shabby!

Spent a Wednesday evening at Rick's. One of my new night time favorites was working, had to wait for her to finish up two other regulars before she could get to me! But well worth the wait. Even with the stricter guidelines, you can still have a lot of fun with the right ladies in the right booths. Haven't been able to get back there on a weekend in quite awhile, but if the same weekend girls are still working there that were working a couple months ago, all should be well then too.

Went to Rick's Wednesday night. Big difference between a weeknight and weekend night. The quality of girls is much better on the weekends as to be expected. Mostly 5's and 6's with a couple 8's but that is it. Club was pretty quiet. Had a couple dances with both 8's that were decent. Management never walked through VIP but would glance in which was a suprise since the last few times they might as well have given the dance they were so close. Might try the afternoon and see if its much better.

I went to Rick's yesterday around 2pm. It was a pretty dead time of the day but I was able to find a couple of quality girls to spend some time (and $$$) with.

The VIP section wasn't crowded at all and the roaming manager seemed to limit her patrols to once every few songs rather than every song. I was able to have a good time with minimal interruptions.

I got a nice 4 for $100 deal with a cute Russion girl and another nice package deal with a skinny blonde that had me leaving the club with a smile on my face.

Rick's has be a hit or miss. With the current management making their constant rounds, the dancers are always watching for them. This makes for some uninspiring lap dances. Girls are 6 to 8's. If you want to hang out, go on the weekend after 10:00pm as its crowded and lively. If you want some alone time, try week days mid afternoon as its generally slow. You have to be a fairly repeat customer to get any action as they are all too careful now.

Like most clubs, this one is hit or miss. How well you connect with the girls, will determine the quality of your experience. My personal favorite is Toni -- great body, sensual dancer, make you feel special.

Unfortunately, many of the daytime girls are older and not that attractive. Mileage is greater during that time of day, however.

Friday and Saturday nights are quite crowded with many hot girls. Not a lot privacy, however.

I was at ricks late last week. I went on a tuesday afternoon. I find that afternoons give you the most bang for your buck. I met a little blonde who had some large titties that assumed were fake. She did a little bit of flirting and then sat down on my lap. As soon as she sat down she started playing with her top. She was wearing a half shirt so her titties were just begging to come out. She then started to get jr going so i decided to take the next dance. We went back to the VIP section and she started dancing. She took those titties out of her shirt to start and i was awarded with a pair of natural titties. She started with them literally in my mouth and continued down to my pants. she took the liberty to remove my belt buckle and opened up my pants for a closer ride. Needless to say i was in heaven. I will be back shortly.

I had to see what was happening at Rick's so, stopped in at what I figured would be shift change - about 7PM - on Saturday night. I think the dancers outnumbered the customers. One little spinner really caught my eye - Jasmine. Her movements on the stage were out of this world sexy. She came down off the stage right to me and we headed to the VIP. On the way over, she caressed me dang near all over. We sat one song then started and she whispered "My dances are $30 plus tip" I asked how much tip and she said what I thought was right.

No couch Nazi made an appearance and Mr Happy got happy real fast. I had to be in Tumwater in a short time so, had to leave after just the one dance.

So, I would say based on my very limited research, a good time can still be had at Rick's. I rated a 7 because of the rule about keeping the clothes on during the dance.

I am dayshift guy also, and I can confirm the VIP nazi only comes by once per song. A few of my favorites still manage to be as wonderful as they've always been; some newer, younger girls also managed to deliver pretty well. It's not what it used to be; neither are we. (Sadly, my waistband is getting thicker faster than my wallet is.)

I still find better mileage and hotter women here than at Honey's. For all the talk of Rick's dancers moving up to Honey's, I've not seen any of my old faves or semi-faves there. Perhaps Honey's would be as good to me as Rick's has been if I spent as much time (and money) there; becoming a "known factor" to the girls is more important than ever.

Be that as it may, I still believe Rick's is the best place in the greater Seattle area to spend your stripclub dollar. And it's better than clubs in most cities. (E.g. try Denver, legendary home of the Air Dance.")

Checked out Rick's on a Sat evening after the Red Sox game. I had previously visited Honey's the night before, and found the quality of girls to be far better than Honey's. There seemed to be a stronger hustle factor at Rick's, with girls constantly pressing for dances. Though, there is a big sign that VIP dances are 20, almost all girls started out asking for 30 minimum. Ended up going with an average looking girl who offered extras, so at least I know it can still be had despite the roaming manager.

So it ain't what it used to be. What is? Fourteenth and K in downtown DC "used to be" hotter than Rick's ever was, and what is it now? A Metro station. Rick's no longer offers blatant "extra" services, but a good time can be had by all with the right dancer, and "up close, if not so personal," with the other pretty ladies. Admittedly, there is one so old she should be wearing white sox, an apron and be taking orders at Denny's, and another so large, non-personable and unattractive she should not be let out in public, but the rest range from cute to pretty, and from warm to sizzling. Some are a little "long in the tooth" for this profession, but there are a few nineteen year olds as well. On the whole, I guess I spend way too much money there for the return I get, but what is an old fat guy to do? It ain't love, but it is young, attractive, female and hot. Oh, and in the afternoon the Sex Nazi only comes around about once a song. Some of the talent is scared of her, and others don't let it interfere too much with either their fun or business. These guys know that being shut down by their customers is just as bad as being shut down by the law.

trump2k1 is right, this place has changed so much since the political scandal involving the owner took place.

There are still some girls in the 8-9 range, but they're watched so closely that you get nothing but air. The place was fairly dead on Monday night, which I guess is to be expected.

What I don't get was that I was just walking around the club, trying to scope out the girls when one of the bouncers said that I needed to take a seat - that walking around wasn't allowed. What's up with that?

So bottom line is that I would recommended Ricks only for eye candy.

nazi partol is in full force here, it's not what it used to be.

they roam the isles every 30 seconds or so.

the days when ramie, rene, janine, marryanne, sierra, sharie, and amber all there on the same day are gone. I have heard that several of the women have moved to vegas.

Also heard some have migrated up to Honeys.

It's sad. For those of us who remember when Rick's was 'humming', it is depressing to watch the girls in the VIP with their hands almost always in clear view atop the chair backs, and their attire almost always in place. And, it's all easy to see because the lighting has been turned up.
To a newcomer, this place might seem 'not bad', (hence the 6 rating), but I found myself fondly remembering the past as I sipped my $5 soda, and left shortly thereafter, hoping, really hoping that this 'free country' of ours would once again assert itself.
The girls aren't happy about the 'new' Rick's either.

I stopped in here last Monday afternoon. I've been to this club a couple of times in the past few months, so I had an idea of what to expect in the hustle factor, but it was off the charts last time. The girls seemed to be swarming like angry hornets, and didn't seem too willing to negotiate, either. I used my usual lines to keep them at bay while I watched the stage shows for a while. Rick's has two stages that are about equal in size, and if you sit back far enough you can watch the action on both at the same time. The lighting is dim, and a little too red. This helps the girls to look a little better on stage then they do up close, but this is a standard industry trick, so no surprises there.

After watching the stage for about 45 minutes, I was approached by a very cute petite brunette. I don't remember her name. We chatted for a couple of songs, then agreed to a VIP. The contact was very good, she seemed into it, lots of eye contact and smiles. After the first song I agreed to two more, and it was money well spent. I will definitely return in the near future.

Went to Rick's several times in the past few weeks. All during the day time. Sometimes the VIP nazi would roam a lot, other times she was no where in site. I was able to have some of the "old Rick's" dances, but still had to be careful. I think this is going to be as good as it will get and things will never go back to the old ways. Still a lot of good looking ladies working there. I still prefer the day time versus the night time. Granted more attractive dancers are at night, but the mileage is still much better during the day.

I was there a few weeks ago. The place has slowed down a bit, but I think it's being over done. The managers are making more rounds, but things still can be done. The girl and time have to be right. The time is the dayshift. The girls - the ones that are the busiest. Lee is fun and adventurous. Rose is not a beauty, but is willing to please.

I wouldn't go after 7 pm as it gets busy, loud and the opportunities to dance with the right ladies decreases greatly.

I decided to see for myself how far Rick's had fallen in the months since I'd last visited. Judging from the reviews, I was expecting the worst. I was pleasantly surprised to find a bevy of attractive dancers. Lots of natural breasts to choose from (lots of fake boobies too, but I avoid those on principle). I got laps from Eve (tall leggy blonde, a little thick in the middle, but fabulous firm C cups, verified natural by me), Valentine (tall curly-haired brunette, sexy bra and panty outfit on perky titties and beautiful butt, and just the cutest lisp), Charity (petite blonde, fun personality), and April (brunette spinner with muscles, sexy smoldering personality).
I was sorely tempted by Celeste, but she admitted that she had had work done (very well done I must say -- not too large, just too good to be true). It was fun chatting with her as her cutoff T-shirt would ride up and her left breast would poke its nipple out. Made it hard to concentrate. As I said, I almost went for a dance with her, but in the end I had to stick to my anti-implant principles.
Overall a very good time. I stuck to the low end of the girls' pay scales, paying 20 a dance except for Eve (30), so I didn't get particularly high mileage, but I enjoyed my visit a lot.

Stopped in on July 4 in the afternoon. Only about four dancers ranging from about 0 to 7 and giving the "0" dancer a rating that high is generous. She really has no business being in the business if ya know what I mean. That's the bad news...

The good news is that the nanny patrol never ventured into the VIP section.

Followed up with a July 5 early afternoon visit with more dancers and more quality (range from 5-8 this time) present and once again, no nannies in the dance area. Club is better but still has a ways to go to regain its former glory.

Went to Rick's on a Tuesday evening a while back. Was able to get a seat right next to the stage by the VIP section. The manager was on patrol, so the girls were a little on edge. Overall the talent was ok, I've seen both better and worse over the last couple of years.

Had lappers with 4 different girls, ranging from not-so-good to excellent. The only one out of the 4 to do anything for me to remember her name was Britney. She was very sexy in her talk, movement, and attentiveness - all in spite of the watchful eye of the manager. I definitely left a happy man.

On a recent visit I found the prices for entry and driks to be the same at 10 and 5 respectively. The management was found to be frequently trolling the vip. As a result, activity was mild at best. Dances were quoted at either
