    Only go here is you want to lose your phone. My phone got stolen last night as we we were walking in the place. I had my hands in my pocket protecting my phone but then someone pushed one of my friends and I took my hands out for five seconds to catch her mid air and after I helped her my phone was gone, I immediately use my friend's phone to track mine with FindMyPhone and it showed it was still there, even my apple watch was still connecting but no ONE person from their staff help me with the situation! By the end of the night when they were closing one person from their staff at the door told me that 15 other girls had come to him saying that their phone was gone too and a guy who was there told me "yeah, this always happens here", so how come this issue has been going on for soooo long and the place does not make anything to solve the situation?

    If I could give a 0, I would. The owners & staff coordinate with thieves to steal customers’ phones, wallets, and identities. STAY AWAY if you care about these things.

    Have been to this bar multiple times, never had a problem there before. Went out with my friends last night and there was a new bartender I’d never seen before who kept taking our drinks where we couldn’t see to make them. Me and another friend of mine wound up roofied and could not walk or stay conscious. Another one of my friends had her phone stolen out of her back pocket the same night. IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD.

    My phone got stolen last night and when I told the staff they just laughed at me and said to retrace my steps. I explained how I definitely had it on me whenever I walked in but they didn’t care. No help from them at all

    Great music, but if you want to get property stolen, come here! My friend had both her wallet and phone stolen out of her purse and there were about a dozen other people that had it happen on the SAME NIGHT. Majority of the staff was unhelpful and unwilling to resolve the issue, and based on looking at other reviews after the fact, this is clearly a pattern. Photo attached is the two suspects fleeing with stolen property (that the bouncers refused to stop). AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

    DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR PHONE MISSING! My friend got her phone stolen right as she was walking into the bar. After reading reviews this is clearly a problem for The Ranch and they seem to brush off the problem like it’s nothing, even though there’s a system of theft going on right beneath customer’s noses. Not sure if they need better security or cameras in the bar, but something needs to be done.

    Terrible bar. Awful experiences all around at this place. They never have enough bartenders, the staff are awful people, the bathroom lines wrap around the room which is unacceptable, and so much more. They don’t follow TABC guidelines, coming from a former bartender. I will not be coming back to this bar and would not recommend it to anyone I know. Ridiculous. 👎

    I have been to this bar plenty of times and not had anything stolen, but was there two days ago and both me and my roommate had our phones stolen out of our CLOSED purses that were on our shoulders without us realizing. I personally know 2 other people who have had phones stolen at this bar as well. The bar is a great time but clearly they have some sort of theft ring going on here and I wouldn't be surprised if the staff there was in on it too because they clearly haven't done anything to stop these thieves from stealing countless phones.

    My girlfriends wallet, keys, and phone got stolen out of her purse. They were unhelpful and obviously none of it was recovered. Also same night 2 kids got jumped outside of the bar, both were bleeding bad and one got stabbed. I got them into a corner to safety and asked the 8 bouncers outside to call an ambulance, they cursed me out and told me it’s not their problem. From a liability and a human perspective that’s messed up.

    Got my phone and wallet stolen here this friday out of my own purse, i traced it to houston best buy. The workers here and bouncers assist and are compliant with thiefs and laugh and say it happens here daily. people get their car keys, passports, id, cards and everything stolen. then they take our cards and use it at Shell and coconut club and drive out. They operate out of Houston and Katy Texas. Update The Stolen Phone is at 7415 SW 152nd Ave, Miami, FL 33193

    First and last time I will ever be going here. Stealing a phone instead of earning an honest living is a despicable act, showcasing a loser mentality devoid of integrity and work ethic. Such individuals contribute nothing positive to society and only prove their own moral bankruptcy.

    Went to post a review about my experience with a stolen phone, only to see many other people having similar experiences. Shame on this establishment, if the owner is aware of the situation, they should fire the entire staff and start fresh. Photographed: my hand without a phone.

    Many unauthorized charges on my card. Very unhelpful staff. Not completely their fault because the place is super busy but they need to be aware and make sure they charge the right persons card. Other than that the place is a good spot.

    Got my wallet and keys stolen out of my closed purse and bouncers were unhelpful. Wouldn't recommend going here unless you can keep your prized possessions in your hand or in eyesight the whole night.

    We went here a few nights on a bachelorette party and it was SO MUCH FUN!!! They have the different levels with different types of music playing so there's fun for all! There is a photographer that goes around on Friday and Saturday nights. We will definitely visit Austin again and when we do we will once again come here!

    I got my phone stolen here not once but TWICE. Owner’s aware of the situation and doesn’t do anything about it.

  • 5/5 Hannah R. 9 years ago on Google
    I love the open setting between the two upstairs bars, there is always lots of room to dance and meet new people. They have a lot of bartenders on staff so you aren't constantly waiting in line for 10 minutes to get a drink. Also the music is AWESOME!! The DJ's they have on the weekend are phenomenal and always keep the good energy going all the way until 2am. Great bar, fun atmosphere, and right in the heart of west 6th!

    I love to support local businesses but.... Stolen phone. Staff seems to know about phone theft being a thing there but nothing is being done about it.

    I have now had my phone stolen at this place twice. Do not leave bags unzipped or anything in your back pocket, people are waiting.

    My son had his iPhone 13 and credit card STOLEN here — appears organized, will be contacting local police yo file a report. Be aware and beware!

  • 1/5 T-dub H. 1 year ago on Google
    The bouncers are a bunch of jerks. After my phone was stolen, they yelled at me and told me there was nothing they could do to help. The bartender told me the same thing. This Hass to be the absolute worst bar ever.

  • 5/5 Joe Jr G. 7 years ago on Google
    This is usually a stop on our list of venues to hit. The bartenders are pretty quick with drinks and don't choose favorites when receiving drink orders. The dance floor is always packed. Nice place to hang out.

  • 4/5 Erika B. 6 months ago on Google
    Hadn’t been here in a hot minute. Dirtier than usual, the restrooms sucked, they smelled like garbage and drain. The music was alright.

  • 5/5 Cody L. 8 years ago on Google
    Great staff and fun atmosphere! 3 different floors depending on your mood. The bartenders are quick and friendly and the security are pretty fair also. Just don't act like a fool and you'll have fun. Check it out, never a cover.

  • 1/5 Theodros G. 5 months ago on Google
    Just want to give a big shout out to the bartender with the flower tattoo on her left chest for being so rude. I literally asked her how she was doing and she rolled her eyes at me and said what do you want. And then when I rolled my eyes and tried to order, she literally said I won't serve you and took two other persons. Sorry i matched ur energy lol. Pls check your cameras if you need proof. This is literally why yall have bad ratings smh.

    I had a great time at The Ranch!! Went here for a bachelor party. We did the bottle service and were having a blast! The dance floor was huge and really fun! It was a great night out with the buddies!

    Pretty solid west 6th bar, good vibes. Less stuck up than Buford's

  • 5/5 Jonathan H. 1 year ago on Google
    The music was bomb and the drinks from MARLA were legit.
