Yeah this places where it's at honestly, I was a little skeptic, and I wasn't even gonna go tonight, but I decided anyway.And it was the best decision I made that night.I love the intimate close knit the vibe of the place. The comedians were hilarious. The prices were cheap. It wasn't pretentious. And I love how the comedians interacted with the crowd. One thing though, I think you guys need more of a food selection and security!...For the overly tipsy, crowd l o l!.... great work from everybody.Thank you for having me.Can't wait to come back!
The service, the food, the water ice 5 stars! The owners are down to earth, and it's a lovely sit-in spot to chill, listen to good music, and enjoy your ice or light food options, liquor if you're into that. I can't remember the last time we've been to Ritas...Cools Js is better in our opinion!
