A little reminder of our reopening guidelines for everyone that wants to visit Ricks! We are being as responsible as possible, and adhering to all capacity requirements. Because of this, there is no entrance without a ticket purchased through LineLeap, masks are required to enter and if walking to the restroom, there is no service at the bar, no dancing, and no groups larger than 10 people. We are doing our part to be responsible, we hope you all are doing the same! #EastLansing #wearamask #staysafe #GoGreen #STR
