3 years agoSometimes it’s busy and takes awhile to get a seat but it is totally worth it! The drinks are always great and you can tell it’s high quality. Yes it’s more pricey but worth it considering what you get. A really great atmosphere. My only complaint is that I wish it was a bit bigger, but I guess that helps make it feel more exclusive lol.

year agoCame into the Ritual and had some amazing cocktails from our bartender Ruby. It's a smaller establishment because of it being downtown but if you can find some seats then you will have an amazing time. For 2 fabulous cocktails and some fries cost us $28 before the tip. However, I will always be tipping well here because their service is very hospitable and they will cater to your tastes. I would recommend coming here if you want a cocktail and a lively funky atmosphere!

2 years agoGives John Wick vibes- very fun place! There’s a ramp into the place (small decline). As for seating, there is patio seating (all booth), and inside you can choose between a booth (small backless chairs available) or high top at the bar. All the drinks I’ve had are great, there’s a good selection of summer drinks going on at the moment as well. Good atmosphere! Very cordial bar staff

3 years agoWe had a really great time for our first visit. We were surprised when the check came and it wasn’t even $60. We had four drinks. Nice service, great atmosphere! It’s not huge so there was a 10 minutes or less wait for us. But it was worth it. I’ve been looking for a bar environment in Lafayette that wasn’t a club, I’m glad we found it. We’ll definitely be back!

year agoRitual has been on my list of places to try in Lafayette once I turned 21! It did not disappoint. The vibe of the establishment is very classy. The tables are comfortable and a great place to converse with friends! My favorite drink of the night was the espresso martini! It was absolutely amazing!

3 months agoEasily the best cocktails in town! The atmosphere is spot on and the service is even better. A huge shoutout to Georgia and Sam, they were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and really made our night. We’ll definitely be back!

3 years agoFavorite little cocktail bar in town <3. Staff treated us like royalty. This place does everything right. Their cocktails are seriously the best and service is even better. It’s a swanky little bar with a few fun snacks on the menu. The drink menu rotates regularly, so you can be sure to find something new every time. A lot of the time it’s seasonal! I saw some reviews about a group of folks being upset about them checking IDs and turning people away if expired or heavily damaged. Good for them. If I had an expired ID I’d expect to not get served at most places. I’d rather go to an establishment that is classy and doesn’t bend the rules for people who are petty enough to write that type of review. The owners & manager are personable, welcoming, upstanding members of our community, and make this place the best in town. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed & will probably become a regular! Too many pics to post :)

2 years agoReally delicious high quality cocktails! It has a really nice vibe, favorite bar in the area. Nice place to hang out with your friends for a couple of hours and have some drinks. It can get busy sometimes but it's worth the wait in my opinion.
William Ellison (Ashurroth)
month agoMy wife and I had a date night here and it did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The food and cocktails were great. The only reason I give the atmosphere a 4 star is because it was advertised as a more quiet bar and it definitely isn't. Not a big deal, just a marketing issue.
Sam Bunch
4 months agoMy wife and I were in for a family function and a family member suggested this place for "pinkie out" drinks and food. The drinks and late night food did not disappoint. We are very particular when it comes to out drinks, and they were spot on! The recipes they use/have were so well balanced. We had the opportunity to meet the owner as well and she welcomed us as though we were regulars. The fried cheese bites were absolutely perfection. For the service and quality of this cozy spot we would drive the 4 hour round trip to enjoy the Ritual again. Great job Ritual!
