The Vibe: Nostalgia Meets Neighborhood Charm
Rick E’s was born from a love of the unique, locally-owned bars that leave you with stories worth retelling. Owners Andrew and Will, along with their team, dreamed up a place that blends the same fun, friendly, and nostalgic spirit with Montgomery’s own downtown energy. Walk in and you’ll find a laid-back atmosphere where you feel like a regular, even if it's your first visit.
Speaking of nostalgia, here’s where it gets fun: forget fancy wallpaper; instead, Rick E’s leans hard into its nostalgic side. The bathroom walls are decked out with vintage portraits straight out of the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s. Think prom night glamour shots, wedding pics, church directory smiles, and classic Olan Mills treasures. From awkward yearbook shots to wedding day glam, your photos could become part of Rick E’s story.
