Editorial Review for Rickshaw Stop – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Long red velvet curtains flank an airy, loft-like space strung with paper lanterns and lights. In a nod to its name, you'll find several rickshaws, three-wheeled bicycles with a back cart, scattered throughout the space, though they're for decoration only. Downstairs, the floor is left open for music lovers to gather in front of a small stage, but upstairs offers more seating with comfy couches, modular chairs and a balcony that gives a bird's-eye view of hipsters getting their drink on post-work.

Ever since the owners picked up a fancy sound system last year, this place has become the best mid-sized club for seeing live music. Bands sound incredible. My musician supergeek knob twiddler friends speak highly of it. It's about the same size as the bottom of the hill or 12 galaxies, but it's prettier and more comfortable, and for big nights they have a coatcheck upstairs. And the rickshaws are way romantic. At least one of my friends inevitably ends up making out with someone when we go to one of the dance club nights. Fridays are almost too electro-80s scene-y but again, they're pretty reliable for both the dancing and the make-out factor. I like the room; it feels grand and exciting even though it's super chill and laid-back in there. I'm a sucker for high ceilings and giant red curtains though.

I went in with some friends to hear the Dead Henson's play on a thursday night and at first we were having a great time listening to music that was way too loud (luckily we had ear plugs),having a good time laughing and joking around with each other and flirting with the bartenders. Well one in particular took things way too seriously when my friend asked him his name a little boisterously and kicked her out! I couldn't believe it! He accused us of being drunken & rowdy when we had only had 1 round of drinks and he was offended by her behavior. I will Never go back there and I suggest if you do go make sure you say your please and thanks you's and keep to yourselves as not to invoke the bartenders wrath.
Cons: rude bartender, too loud
