If someone stole ur phone make sure that u leave a bad review here sings in the club don’t really help. They just open ur bag while you are dancing and take ur phone. 1. Noone care in the club about your phone and they will never help you. Even if you text them…just get a new phone, don’t waste your time. 2. Police will never come too. 3. If ur phone will appear in LA - the tall thin black guy stole it. 4. Richs has many phones in their storage but u will never find out if they have your phone there. 5. Apple care theft and lost+icloud backup might save your night

Rich's Pros: -Gay club -We love having lgbt spaces -Fun Cons: -Phones stolen often here -I once saw a man sucking another man's you-know-what literally on the dance floor surrounded by people dancing....that was gross because no one consented to seeing that. Please don't be disgusting like that. -I have heard of drinks being spiked here...be careful and never ever leave your drink unattended or around strangers. -too many straight people coming into our lgbt space...honestly I want to believe it's them stealing phones from us

We had a blast here on the emo Taking Back Thursday night. The bar staff is all super sweet, including the gogo boys and DJs and bartenders. There is a huge patio here if you’re not feeling the DJ or the night. We loved having the option to go from the emo night to the hip-hop night but wish that the Latin/hip-hop side would have been more Poppin. Big Ups to the taking back Thursday DJ, who is so sweet and kind and also put on a killer performance.

I was here Friday night, and everything was good till I was outside front of the bar just chilling talking to my friends and the security just randomly walks up to me and said I had to leave!! And my friends asked that what did I do wrong? They didn’t give me a reason but that I had to go. But my friend’s weren’t getting kicked out. Just randomly outed me I don’t know if it was cause the security was power tripping or he confused me with someone else and just like that told me to leave. But my friend’s were still welcomed to stay… luckily they left with me. But that was uncalled for the security almost wanted to grab me but once I mentioned I was going to tell a friend that works there about how crappy they just pick n chose who has to go, they calmed down but still wanted me to leave. Never wasting my money there again. Not even worth to pay to go in there that smelled like feces.

Went to Rich’s to celebrate the Pride Kick-Off Party. Tonight featured performances by Kandy Muse and Jessica Wild from RuPaul’s Allstars Season 8 as well as music from DJ John Joseph. The place was decorated beautifully for Pride and the music was booming and definitely kept people on the dance floor. Drinks here were somewhat expensive but that’s what you have to expect at a club. Both bartenders we went to poured heavy and honestly we didn’t have the same experience with watered down alcohol that other reviews have noted. Both were extremely friendly and efficient despite the number of people they had to serve. We were a little disappointed that Kandy and Jessica only performed one song each. It was a long wait for a somewhat short show. While we were happy to be there to see them it was a blink of the eye and they were finished. Rich’s also had a large outdoor area which has different music and is more of a place to have conversations instead of dance. Overall it was a fun night. I only take them down a star due to the short show and a desire that they had mixed in some Reggaeton with the other music to give everyone some variety.

My husband and I came here last night, thank you to everyone for giving us the most fun, free spirited night full of love, dancing, and music we've EVER HAD!! This club had such an inclusive vibe and we will definitely be back. Everyone was happy and friendly. Entrance fee was only $12 a person and beers were $9 each

Attended the CRSSD afterparty, and it was terrible. The venue was dangerously overcrowded, with more tickets sold despite the event being advertised as sold out. On the main floor, it was so packed it was unsafe. The sound system was poorly set up, only the deep bass was audible, and even that was so quiet it was drowned out by people talking. While the outdoor area had potential, there was no music playing at all. Bathrooms were flooded and destroyed. The worst afterparty and one of the worst club events I’ve ever attended.

Venue ruined by overcrowding straight people. Harrassment was horrible. Rude customer base. Staff was nice but did not help the situation. Would have been great if the straights hadn’t infiltrated. DO NOT GO ON WEDNESDAYS. Other days appear to be ok but the scene is horrific for a “queer friendly” space. (Mainly frat guys attempting to have a “straight people night”).
