About

Straight to Ricks for drinks, dancing and a great time!

Story

Rick’s is more than a bar, it is an East Lansing institution. Rick’s American Cafe was recently named one of the top 25 college bars in America by The Daily Meal. The area’s top DJs perform up to five nights a week and Rick’s is widely considered the best venue to dance with your friends (even the ones you don’t know yet).

The low key look and unassuming atmosphere make Rick’s a fun and inclusive environment. Students, alumni and even faculty have made Rick’s home for years, and so should you…

Rick's American Café is proud to be a staple of East Lansing night life. The premier spot to go out and grab drinks, enjoy some music and hit the dance floor. For decades Ricks has been supplying great times and memories to the East Lansing and Michigan State area. Stop in and see us soon for a great time!

Dirty, long line and drinks without much alcohol but great place to dance and make a fool of yourself.

Rick's is the quintessential college bar, sticky floors and all. They have live music and sometimes it's the best you'll hear for miles around. They used to have a pay side with the band, and for those who don't want to pay cover and just drink, the non-pay side.

Terrible service with terrible bar staff. They pride themsevles on serving minors and over serving customers. To all those that enjoy the East Lansing bar scene, try and avoid Ricks as there are better bars within walking distance.

They literally hold up the line so that it's around the block when the place is empty for publicity? No idea why you'd do that but it's dumb and makes a lot of people walk across the street to harpers

It's a dirty basement that happens to serve drinks and allow college kids to just have rough dry-humping sessions on each other. Yet overall it is essential to the MSU experience and I've had many great times there. My only real complaint is that their drinks are the worst out of any of the EL bars. But nevertheless it gets the most packed.
