As a number of other reviews have mentioned, the security guards here are absolutely awful. About four years ago, I went with a few friends and we sat at a table for about two hours. I was the designated driver for the group. Out of nowhere, a security guard came up behind me while I was seated, chicken-winged me and said "if you resist you're going to have a very sore arm" and shoved me through the bar outside.
After discussing with the manager for about an hour following this I came to the conclusion that the security guard made a mistake, wouldn't own up to it, and the manager basically apologised diplomatically but didn't actually care at all.
This place is fine mostly, but the security is the worst of any joint I've ever experienced in my life. I don't drink. I don't dance. I rarely leave the table I'm seated at. I'm there for my mates to have a good time. I'm going to assume the actual reason he forced me out is because I was on the waters.
I'm writing this review because FOUR YEARS LATER I still remember how messed up this incident was.
And four years later, they're still getting negative reviews about their security guards. Nothing has changed.
Fix your bouncers. I regret not taking the time the next morning to file a police report so that they would review security tapes.
FYI this guy was tall, white and bald. I hope he's not still there, but I haven't been back since to find out. I had only been there once before. Likely never will again.

Sound quality is really bad when bands play.
The mix is really thin.
And the house music is SO LOUD! You can barley communicate with people.
Most staff are nice but had some rude encounters with some staff .

Karaoke venue with Sunfly self serve digital catalogue. Could do better with microphones. Only one available and taped up so pretty rubbish. Pleasant enough crowd.

If only everyone who has been harassed, groped and/or cornered by predatory patrons would refuse to enter Ric's. Maybe then, it could finally shut down. And bring in something better and safer

Could’ve been an exceptional bar to hang out at every Friday, until the owner (Rick) hit one of his employee’s and now has solidified my decision in never going back.

They almost broke my arm.
My hand is still ache and I will never forget what they did to me. 😔😢😢😢😢
I wish normal people would prove to these giant companies that we still have power over them. No matter how much money they are earning from us.

Decent joint, really good location wise, outdoor smokers and food area, would come back for a few bevvies given I'm back in Brisbane and in the area.

The atmosphere was good. Everything is just so average but visit here on some Thursdays or Fridays will be much fun! They got some live music since 9:30pm, and free entry!

I can tell you somethin'<br/>I was in the mens room and there was no one to take my coat or offer any advice on my elderly mother who I had originally brought into the bar to have a few drinks with. <br/>She was pretty intoxicated by the end of the night. <br/>Loved the music and atmosphere, yet I felt something could be changed about the lack of lady staff.
