The cocktails here are usually pretty good if pricey. A pretty cool venue. Generally I always end up there during a night out in the Valley.

Rics Bar is kinda famous as a venue that has given a lot of local bands their break to play live, there probably wouldn't be a band in Brisbane that hasn't played there, and also some great touring acts passing through. So you never quite know what you will get, so it is an indie/alternative dream for music fans. Has the tightest venue you will ever feel, where the band probably has more room than the audience. (No cover charges). Out the back though is a huge beer garden, and front has chairs and tables to eat at within the Mall. The back area is scruffy, the type that can be hosed down easily, so not for the faint hearted. We were overcharged for our meal, but even then it was still a reasonable price for a big meal in BrizVegas. The menu is your wholehearted alcohol soaking stuff, big chips, crumbed fish etc. Overall a venue for musical discovery with a couple of beers, or for a wild night if you prefer freedom and slouching over dress regulations and sitting up straight.
