Tonight I had a pleasure of staying at a room right above this restaurant. We must of been right about where they play the music because their music was sooooo loud in our room. In fact, it was so loud, my elderly mom, myself and husband weren't actually able to fall asleep until 2am. When we complain to the hotel, they said they asked them to turn it down. Guess what, they music actually got louder and I swear, people started screaming. Like we could hear the guest start yelling. I'm not sure they did this on purpose just to get back on the "Karen" or what. Here's the thing customer service goes further than your restaurant. Why would you want to have people hate your business before they eat there? Also I'm paying $400 for a place to SLEEP. That's $400 for ONE night. So yah, I think paying $400 a night for a place to sleep and not being able to sleep deserves a complaint, don't you?

Didn't get to actually get drinks or food here, apparently you have to walk in through the Hoops place, moment I walked in, the smell of hoops was overwhelming to add to the confusion of trying to get to ripple, we left and when elsewhere. If you're a beer person, place had a awesome atmosphere ?

Good spot to have a cocktail. Dog friendly patio. Beware of the bees

Pretty bad experience. The bartender seemed uninterested in us when we walked in. There was some sort of animal-like stench that we noticed right away. We probably should have left at this point but I like to try new places. We were able to convince the bartender to make us a couple of drinks. They were tasty, but jam-packed with ice so very quickly gone. And both were pricy (over $10). No one ever checked on us. The bartender was busy chatting with her friends. Another person showed up later and she seemed to care more about us as we were settling the bill.

We stopped for a quick drink and were the only patrons in the bar. The bar is inside hoops brewing, but you can't bring drinks back and forth. I was hoping for more Grateful Dead artwork/memorabilia, but the names of the drinks were clever. I'd stop for a quick drink again, but the atmosphere of the brewery next door seemed more lively and fun.

Our experience was disappointing to say the least. we stopped in after dinner looking for some fun drinks; I ordered a ramble in rose and my husband got a Jack Straw. mine was okay; not great, but fine. his was absolutely terrible! we choked down most of it but it was really gross. the bar tender seemed very new and like he didn't know what he was doing, so maybe that explains the bad drinks? service was also incredibly slow.

Had a great time there with Tracy or Teresa one of the two whichever her name is we had lots of fun look forward to my next visit

GO. SEE. ANNA.The drinks here are amazing, made with love, and the bartender — bar maiden as we lovingly called her during our stay — is phenomenal. Great vibes, great people, and I would love to say better drinks, but the staff is really amazing too. Pop in! It’s worth it!

Great views! Good times and drinks!

I didn't go to the roots part but the ripple's cocktails were delicious. Good vibes. Great service. Quick drinks and good music. If you're interested in a shot they have those too. I wouldn't be able to comment much on parking but the area is so walkable I'm sure you'll find something! Pro tip: if you visit during a holiday weekend (like thanksgiving or Christmas) most of the college students are likely to be out of town so it'll be less crowded here and other spots
