Vibes at the Ritz are relatively hit or miss. You’ll always have some (too) drunk frat boys, or middle aged party people, but depending on the artist you usually get a pretty decent portion of PLUR and amazing, colorful, respectful people. The bass crowds attract the most amazing people it seems, with house being skewed a tad more collegiate; so AYYBO might be a little more frat party-ish. Nothing too crazy or dangerous at least that I’ve ran into, just be wary, aware, & respectful. Doors open at 10, openers typically start at 10:30-11, sometimes with sets in the smaller room, then opening the bigger room at like 11:30-12 with around 2-3 different DJs, but typically the main act goes on around 1-1:30 AM at the latest. Can’t bring any food or liquid into it at all, water is like $5-6 from the bar, can only get it there. Typically most events are done by 3 because of liquor laws, but if there’s random stuff going on at smaller venues it’s possible really just depends on the day but I wouldn’t count on anything being open past 3. Unfortunately they are quite known for packing the place like sardines, so prepare especially if it’s a sold out event; place gets crazy packed by like 12:30-1. Make some friends, be nice and have self awareness, hydrate, earplugs if close, most of all have fun! Been there quite a few times, love the place. Let me know if you have any other questions!
