One of the original music video bars in the United States and an LGBTQ+-owned Hillcrest fixture since 1983, Flicks operates at 1017 University Ave in the 92103 ZIP code. The bar anchors the same University Avenue strip as Urban MO's Bar & Grill, forming the core of Hillcrest's LGBTQ nightlife corridor. A rotating library of more than 15,000 music video clips cycles across screens throughout the interior, and the programming calendar includes weekly karaoke nights and drag performances. The music video bar has anchored the LGBTQ+ nightlife strip since 1983, running themed video DJ nights alongside karaoke in a format that feeds into the late-night dance floor at Rich's a few doors east. The outdoor patio converts to a street-level stage for special-event programming during San Diego Pride week and other district-wide celebrations.
