I've been to Rips a few times and I really enjoy the laid back attitude and the fact that it's so close to my house. They used to give you yummy popcorn, when I went yesterday it was stale prezels, boo! I still want to try the Obscura dance night, sounds like fun!
Honestly the only draw back is the not so friendly waitstaff. Get this, I had a 3 dollar well drink laid down a 5 and never saw any change. Even though I would have given you the $2 as a tip, you have NO right to assume it's yours without any communication. Really tacky! I hope to post a more positive review when I check out the Obscura night!
