Fun Video Hangout
There aren't many seats at Flicks, which makes sense because the focus is on the videos and patrons, both of which rotate at a brisk pace most nights (and some days) at this long-time favorite in Hillcrest. Free food some nights, great drink specials most nights, and lots of fun, friendly guys -and some gals- out to have a good time, particularly on the often-boisterous patio facing the University Avenue foot/street traffic. Many squeeze into here before heading down the block to dance at Rich's, though quite a few stick around on busy nights like Wednesday's college-oriented party.
What the???
Just arrived in San Diego after traveling all day and what were we met with but a group of straight couples tying one on in a gay bar!! Did not leave a great impression for us gay guys.
Great First Stop
First time @ Flicks & First time hanging out in S.D. I went both Friday and Saturday night mid evening. Great social crowd definitely a healthy supply of hotties. Drinks at least those two nights were carefully measured but adequate. People were in general exceptionally friendly.
Mid day with friends, or warm up before the club!
Before I write a review on a place I like to visit there many times over a period of time just to make sure my review is honest, complete and just. Ill go there to party. (get drunk duh) But also go out dance if there's a dance floor and just sip on a redbull and water. I try to meet all the staff or at least observe how they interact with each other and the patrons of the joint. So here we go. Flicks- is one of those places you may be driving by and not notice, but its worth taking a trip in. Even during the busiest times when its takes some time to get a drink. (be patient or order two!) The staff, bartenders, bar backs and security are over all just genuinely nice guys. Therese usually some sort of event held there on a daily basis weather its karaoke, or that sexy wet underwear contest. (Though the blue tarps have to go!) The bar itself is small with that cheers feeling as you walk in. The main bar is to the left spanning the entire length of the place and there's a satellite bar opposite with a pool table in front. Pretty much anywhere you are in the bar you can look up at a tv screen to catch that latest video or the must see tv event. I noticed theirs some sorta video gaming blackjack they offer, if your alone and just want to kill time with out being bothered, that may be for you. There's no dance floor, but that's okay! The atmosphere draws a crowd that geared for conversation or just about what ever your looking for. There's a patio off the street with a couple of tables and a heater but when it gets packed its standing room only! So over all for Flicks, Great staff. Drinks are good and priced to sell! The clientele is an even mix of your 20,30,40,50 somethings ready to have a chill good time.
I LOVE this bar
So good when you just want to chill and have a drink talking with friends, or meet some new ones. Staff and patrons always friendly. Always something going on, be it football on Sunday, karaoke on Monday, SOUTH PARK, yes SOUTH PARK on Wednesday, a wet underwear contest on Saturday i think, or cheap drinks and free pizza on Friday. GREAT bar!
Relax & Enjoy A Great Evening @ Flicks !
Another great place in San Diego. Good music, drinks & people. Thanks Flicks !

Great place to hang with friends
Love goign to Flicks when I am in the mood for something kinda mellow. Always has a decent crowd without being to crowded ( minus welfare wednesdays). This is the perfect bar to go to to still hear music, meet cool people, and still be able to hang out and talk with your friends! There is a reason it has been in SD for soo long!
