Rick's is arguably one of the best joints in East Lansing to catch up-and-coming live acts. Bands with names like the Foster Kids, Jedi Mind Trip, Global Village, and Green Trio have rocked college kids, who in turn laud the bar's oft-cheap beer specials. Things tend to get loud at Rick's, so if you're looking for a quiet place to enjoy a cold one, this student-friendly bar probably isn't for you. On Monday nights, Rick's changes themes a little and becomes one of East Lansing's wildest dance venues, with Hip-Hop, retro, and Top-40 tunes blasting away until closing.
