Rickey's Bar and Grill Reviews

Because It's right in town. I believe support home first and Victorville that my home. Thanks

Dayshawna brings this place to life, AMAZING performer!! The bartenders are nice. Very reasonable prices for drinks and only $5 to watch the drag show. I had so much fun and I would recommend this establishment to anybody looking for a fun time with no drama. Thank you Ricky's for such a great time

Great place to have some fun. The only place worth going to in that area

Everyone is nice & fun. Good customer service when Karen is there. But Ricky is the most disrespectful person I've ever met

They took our drink two night in a row way before 1:30. First time we were at the table, second time, we were outside smoking and we left for l only five minutes.

Went for the first time Saturday.. great friendly place

Always friendly bartenders and sometimes friendly clientele. Always a pleasant experience though. They also have good food.

So when i first was going to rickys it was not that good. Very few bartenders seemed to know what they were doing. Then i went recently and they made so many improvements. Ricky himself made me drinks and they were amazing. The whole experience became so great. I played pool there was a really good drag show and it was a fun environment to be in. Thank you ricky for making the place such a great place to hang out and have really great drinks you are the best. Next time i visit California i hope to see you again!

Does anyone know if you have to be 21 to watch the drag shows?

This is a great bar and place to be! Very fun and great drinks and prices. Bar tenders are really nice and respectful. A great place for the LGBT community. The most exciting and fun thing of this place is the drag show held at 12 am every single Saturday! Bouncers are very nice and respectful. Before 9:00pm admission is free. I, personally, enjoy the whole atmosphere of the place. Super fun and it's open for straight people too! If you haven't been here, you owe it to yourself to come and enjoy the vibe! And it's a drama free environment. Let's keep it that way!

Actually A nice chill little spot.
Not just for gay.
Good vibes,chill atmosphere

Awesome environment and the people were great! drinks were a good price and had so much fun

Great time everytime we go ! Friendly bartenders and small but nice crowd. Check it out.

Great chill place to drink and dance, gay or straight. No drama :)

Great time went for ladies night with the male dancers lots of fun

The people that do karaoke there they are amazing every time I go there I end up being very sociable with everyone else people come up and talk and we just all feel right at home with each other there's not a whole lot of loud music there's breaks in between the song so that way you could talk if you do not like gay people than you might want to avoid this place because there are some that do enjoy going there themselves, I'm not gay so it's not a hundred percent gay bar. there's a lot of parking they do have food there and you are in a good environment at least that's what I feel

Ricky's is a super friendly home town bar. Everyone is welcome! Ty is the very best KJ in the High desert. The owners are incredibly loving and accommodating. The bartenders are friendly and fun. I really love this place and all the regulars that make it feel like "the place to be". :D

On 5/24/19 Ricky lost my debit card and couldn't find it while i was asking for it they told me to step out the line because he had a big line so i did went to the bathroom and went back they still didn't find it took forever to come back to talk to me so went and watched the show after it was over i went back and he told me to write my information down he would cover my tab and that he would call me in the morning never got that call so i had to freeze my card and order a new one terrible bartending my friends were ordering drinks and they would get something diffrent than what they asked for it was my first time going to a bar and it was just a mess never going there again

The male bartender helped everyone around me, and didn't look at me once, I think his name is Terrance. Not impressed

I absolutely love this place! The drag queens and drag kings are absolutely amazing! Staff is welcoming and remembers regulars. Bartender Dakota is also a great character to have at the establishment!

Love the vibes the security always makes us feel safe. Drinks are well made.

Great place to just go and hang out. No drama like any other place. Ricky remember's you and makes you feel welcome. Plus loads of fun on drag nights! Says it's a gay bar but all kinds of people go there. Free pool. 5 bucks to watch a drag show. Food is good. This place is legit in this busted high desert with nothing to do.

Friendly staff great drinks fun environment feel at ease and at home with good drinks will come here again

I had so much fun for my birthday great atmosphere nice ppl and great dancers I'm ForSure cominf back

My favorite place to relax in town! Nice and sleek hang out there!

A typical dive bar. The bartender on duty wasn't very good, serving drinks in the wrong glasses, and really heavy pouring, and he kept going out for smoke breaks. He tended to pay more attention to the young, pretty customers than everyone else.

Reasonable drink prices, fun atmosphere and good people.

The drag show quality is very poor. The dj was playing Selena
Really dude. And there's an annoying ass employee trying to hustle the pool table. Very lame.

Lousy owners and crappy business practices. Really wish they would make this a safe and enjoyable place for everyone. Owner Michael claims to have been an ex fireman yet lacks all safety concerns such as electrical plates or not mixing water with electricity. Really surprised this place can keep it's doors open with such bad management. Shame because people of their community relay on a safe and comfortable place to be yet they seem to care less whether that is provided or not.

Dope place to hang out. Cute lil stage with awesome drag shows. Much better than that bro magnet Sandbar!

Bathrooms are gross and bartender Dakota is rude and obnotious.

Usually come here often, very friendly bartenders. They have 2 pool tables and I play usually during the week while having a drink.

This bar for gay and lesbence ,
You can smoke vibe inside bar,
The dj not good ,
FREE PARKING ,

Literally the only place where you can go to have fun except it's not really that fun. The music is way too loud and the DJ ALWAYS starts off with playing the cupid shuffle. The rest of the songs are hits....from about a decade ago, which would not be bad but there could be more variety. I feel like if the music was better there would be more people, which is also a problem. Maybe if they let local DJ's DJ for a night?

Went last night to cheer for an acquaintance who was performing. Place was busier than I'd ever seen it, and the show was fun.

But, Karen the bartender has absolutely no idea how to make the simplest cocktail.

I asked her if she could make a Manhattan, which is a truly simple cocktail that every bartender should know: rye, vermouth, and bitters, served up (aka chilled by stirring with ice and then strained into a cocktail glass), usually garnished with a cherry.

I knew I was in for a wild ride when she asked if I wanted some sort of cherry flavored bourbon, so I decided to go along for the ride, and see what she served me....

It turned out to be something almost, but not quite, entirely unlike a Manhattan.

She started by muddling two maraschino cherries and two under-ripe orange wedges in a rocks glass, adding a couple dashes of bitters, filling the glass with ice, and adding a jigger of cherry bourbon. Then, she topped it off with sweet and sour mix and grenadine, and garnished with another orange wedge.

The only thing this drink had in common with what I ordered was the fact that she added bitters. Instead of a clean, slightly spicy drink served up, I got an overly sweet concoction with muddy fruit flavors on the rocks.

I have no idea what it should be called (other than a waste of money), but it definitely wasn't even close to a Manhattan.

I'm a straight male who went there with friends and enjoyed myself had a few drinks met two straight females, talked to the performers in the parking lot. Fun atmosphere great people, I support the community there's nothing wrong or different about the various communities and genders I'm straight have 4 kids, I want to take my girlfriend and female friend here to experience the great socialable people of this bar and atmosphere

Great happy bunch of people and the karaoke is the best you can find in the high desert or down the hill.

My boss and his wife decided to take me out to a club after finishing our day well the club the close we came across this one Ruckis,Bar and i mentioned a person's who worked there we decided to stop and check out the spot charge $5.00 to enter good customer service crowded and security was on it we were out of place totally immediately decided to bounce out we laugh at my boss's he was angry to be taken to a transvestite show ...

Absolutely amazing came into town 1st time and was greeted with a smile had A-blast Sunday night's DJ was super good can't wait to be back thank you so much for an amazing time!!

I love this place beem going here for years always will be our number 1 bar to go to

Gay,bi,les,str8 awesome atmosphere..drama free bar unlike other bars get outa control...never has this bar..karaoke,pool, drinks amazing!!

My partner and I are visiting from Portland, OR for a family event and we found this bar to be the only gay bar in the area and family members were worried about our safety regarding the demographic and the area and we decided to go anyway. It was a wonderful experience, the bar had wonderful decorations that made it unique in its own way. You could tell at the bar that There was a sense of community, almost everyone we saw was hugging and laughing with each other having a good time before a drag show for the evening. The drag queens were wonderful and are worth every tip! The bar is a very open atmosphere and I recommend visiting if you re in the area!!!!!

We (my wife and I) wanted to get out in our new town of Victorville, so we went to Ricky s. I m a artsy lesbian from NYC, so my point of reference would never compare to what I m used to, but for the high desert it was more than fine and I've lived or visited many major cities in the US and several other countries to recognize a decent place for a LBGT person to go.
There was karaoke that night. They have a large selection of songs and that night there were plenty of decent singers. The only unpleasant thing was that the DJ or MC was preferential to certain or most male patrons, allowing them to sing 2-3 songs, each go around, several times throughout the night. This didn t allow for a feeling of inclusion for women or us since we were new and hadn t been there before. We only submitted 4 songs between us, and waited all night for the 4th song, which we never got to sing; while the same people kept singing again and again. This was a bit annoying, but not tragic- LOL!
The pizza was very tasty, and the female blonde bartender was sweet and attentive.
It s clean with 2 pool tables, (free with a drink), has a decent decor for a small neighborhood bar; and lastly, the atmosphere was definitely friendly enough and yes, we would go again...

Was just there for their Halloween show. OMG. It was amazing.

Our go-to local hangout!! Great folks, super KJ Ty and Ricky & Mike (owners) are awesome. Bartenders rock and it's always a fun time.

It s very small and the gay crowd is very raunchy didn t care for the place but being as it s the only gay bar in the whole high desert it s not to bad . The bar tenders are very nice the kj s kinda suck but they have been improving

I don't know why the hell you would charge for water in a place you dance and be active? That seems kind of messed up if you ask me but besides that, it's still a nice place. Nice DJ and excellent shows.

Great place. Fix the heater and replace the missing 13 ball, already!

I love this place I had a great time very cool and fun people. Great entertainment on Friday night's also if your into drag shows

Early bird drink specials till 8pm, two pool tables, karaoke, drag shows nightly.
