We called in here for a quick drink, it was pretty quiet being the time of year it is but it seems to be a really nice place with lovely views looking out at sea. It was a bit too cool to sit out on the decking but we would love to return in the summer for another relaxing drink.

My daughters and I decided to go for a cocktail before going next door to the Sands Hotel for afternoon tea,
It was quite empty but the décor and view were very nice, the staff are friendly and very helpful, it had such a lovely atmosphere and we felt comfortable, The cocktails were amazing and the wine platter was just right to wet the appetite, this place is a must....

Had a night out for a friends birthday and we visited the cocktail bar! Such a good night the staff were friendly and helpful and it was clean etc, they had a really good selection of cocktails and other drinks. There is a balcony that looks over the sea front it was really nice to sit outside and watch the sea coming in. I would visit again!

I have looked at this restaurant and thought how lovely it looked but never gone in. We went out for dinner on my birthday and my family offered to take me in Rickus as a treat and have a cocktail.
I was really lovely in side and surprisingly not too busy considering it was a Saturday. We found a table inside as the balcony was full. A waitress came up to us and asked if we wanted to order, we asked for 5 mins while we chose our cocktails. We then waited and waited, eventually a waiter went passed and we caught him to take our order. He seemed quite upset that we had not had our order taken and went off to sort it out.
We again, waited and waited, still no cocktails. At this point my brother in law is getting a bit agitated. We get hold of the waiter again who said 'you want to order?'.....er!!! No we have already ordered, with you! He seemed very confused about this and went off. Needless to say we waited and they still did nothing. We got up and left!
My opinion of this is, they are charging premium prices for their cocktails, our bill would have been £22.00 for just 3 drinks, but there is no premium service. I was so, so, so, disappointed, I expected so much more. Still their loss!

Here is the best bar and place to go for cocktails in Thanet. I went on a Friday and all the cocktails were £5. And it wasn't a short list of cocktails like you might get in some places. The music is the best part about this place. They play old school rnb which is great to hear. The bar is nice and big and a great place to meet friends for a chat, dance or to begin your night out

I took my mum and her friends here for her birthday and the food and service were amazing! The decor is gorgeous - i love the maps... and the view from the balcony watching the sun go down, wrapped in a Rickus blanket, supping a coctail rounded the evening up nicely. This was in June. Have been back lots since then and enjoy it every time.

Decided to start our evening off with cocktails in a lovely Margate Bar! We were not disappointed! Our Cosmopolitans, Daquiris and White Russians were to die for! If you haven't been - you don't know what you are missing!

We happened upon Rickus by pure chance one evening and very soon found ourselves under their spell... Tge bar is elegantly decorated and opens on to Matgate seafront.
The cocktails aren't patricularly cheap, being between £6 and £8, but are excellent and well worth the money; indeed, the Mojitos and Pina Coladas are the finest I have tasted outside of Cuba. They make a cocktail called an Orgasm that is mind-blowingly smooth whilst being full of alcohol and exciting flavours. Add to this experience rhe warmth and friendliness of the staff and the sea view and you have a wonderful formula for an evening well spent.

Let's start positive.... Lovely decor, clean, extensive cocktail menu and looking at other people's food good food.
The Ok bit... Unfortunately a group of 15+ "lads" have arrived and are congregating around the bar in shorts (it's nearly 9pm)
The bad... We ordered drinks over 20 minutes ago and they've yet to arrive hence having time to type this.
