This place is great to go to on a Friday or Saturday. Has a good blend of people. Back room play hiphop top40 and middle room plays 80s. Also has a third room to chill with pool tables and dart boards. Only thing that is hard to do is get a drink since there is ALWAYS a line and get in the place after 11:30.

Old-fashioned lamp posts out front give this mellow pub an antique atmosphere. Twelve billiard tables, foosball, darts and seven big-screen televisions may keep you upstairs, while the dancing always tempts you over to Club...

Good beers, friendly staff & decent food are just some of the things that Richbrau has to offer. The place changes character from a mellow lunch spot on a weekday afternoon to a place to see & be seen on weekend nights. With pool tables, darts, foosball, a dance club, seven big screen televisions upstairs and a full dining room downstairs you are sure to find a pleasing way to pass the time with friends, good beer and decent food.

Pros

+ Great Social Scene, Good Beer, Great Nachos

Cons

- Crowded

The area covered by this business is huge, and there's no dearth of things to do inside. Foosball, billiards,...
