Editorial Review for The Ritz – by Susan Busch
In Short
The front hallway decor at the Ritz is not exactly fine art. In fact, it's a hanging bike rack. The Ritz offers nine pool tables, four foosball tables and two air hockey tables. With a big screen television, a jukebox and two full bars, there is plenty of entertainment. Hipsters, skaters, bikers and punks enjoy the come-as-you-are dress code and pack the floor or kick back under the Christmas lights.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasIf you're in the mood for some live music, head upstairs via the alternate doorway out front to check out the band du jour.
Know Before You GoThe decaying theater chairs date back to when the Ritz housed movie-goers instead of pool tables.
When to GoFor competitive types there is an air hockey tournament on Tuesdays and foosball competition on Wednesdays. For dedicated drinkers, Thursday night is pint night.

The Ritz prices & service cannot be beat! Laid back scene that does not cater to the conformists of the downtown scene. If you want a place to just hang with out the preppy scene you have it at the Ritz. It's become an Austin necessity.

Thursday is definitely the time to be there. PINT NIGHT. Friendly waitstaff and doorpeeps. Try the dartboards upstairs! challenge someone at chess nest to the downstairs bars!
Pros: just loungin', 21 and up, lotsa fun-dartboards!
Cons: crowded pool latenite, loud, but who cares?
