Go later in the evening, when the warm-up gives way to full cabaret chaos and the whole room starts playing along.
One of the Yumbo’s longest-running drag bars, Ricky’s is the place for a big, crowd-pleasing cabaret night with comedy, karaoke, and plenty of audience participation.
One of the Yumbo’s longest-running drag bars, Ricky’s is the place for a big, crowd-pleasing cabaret night with comedy, karaoke, and plenty of audience participation. It is less about sleek cocktails or club energy, and more about camp entertainment, a mixed holiday crowd, and shows designed to get the whole bar involved.
What is actually useful to know is that Ricky’s works best as a show-led night out, not just a generic pre-club stop. Expect karaoke and lighter entertainment earlier in the evening, with the main drag show later on, plus a mixed crowd that includes holidaymakers, groups, and people looking for a loud, easy, inclusive night in the Yumbo. If you want wit, crowd work, and a bit of organised chaos, it makes sense. If you want a cooler bar or somewhere to dance properly, there are better choices elsewhere in the centre.
