Flicks

Me and 3 of my female friends were looking for somewhere to have a few cocktails and stumbled into Flicks. We had the best time. We drank, Did triva, I even learned how to play darts and everyone was nice and inviting. We didn't order food but the popcorn was good.

Fun times! Everyone is welcome. Total dance party until around 11pm, then you’re packed in like sardines with no room to dance. So just one hour of a good time and then it’s time to leave.

Extremely rude bartender, white guy with short hair and short beard. After we ordered drinks he asked us to not block his area for other customer's. NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH RUDENESS. Was here celebrating my best friends bday and was about to spend more money here. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

This establishment is NOT accredited by the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU!!! I’m visiting San Diego for the first time and I wanted to try starting the night at a place that seemed cool. I looked on the website about this bar. The atmosphere looked like it could have been hopping. With "Friendly Faces" with opportunity to find "Family" here. After entering the bar, it was Big with the DJ booth prepped for an event. It had a cute Autumnal theme with the cute Orange leaves & trees. There was a lot of locals just sitting at the bar. This was just the precursor to Karaoke of course. After getting situated at the bar, bartender seemed busy. The seats at the bar were Not all taken. Time of the first interaction with a less than interesting "hi" of an introduction was about 5 minutes after sitting down. Asked if there was food options. The smarmy response was, "we have Popcorn." After getting my first drink, Bartender asked if I wanted a refill. With confirmation he then took the drink I hadn’t finished 1/2 of. I said nothing waiting to see if he would acknowledge it. He didn’t. I was done with the bar after 15 minutes. The Bartender was about to close me out. But as he was asking for my credit card again and I stated, "Do I Not have a tab open?" He stated, "Oh I forgot." Which made me concerned that he was going to close x2 different tabs to then charge themselves an extra fee for closing a "2nd Tab." It was a ridiculous experience. Especially when there wasn’t more than 20 people in the room with drinks and the Bartender was clearly "distracted." A Health & Safety concern would be the Flame lit Votive Candles next to the open alcohol. There’s timer remote control battery powered Votive Candles on cheap websites that can do the same job without having to light the ones then placed next to Open Alcohol.

FUN AND FESTIVE FRIENDLY BAR . GREAT BARTENDERS . OUTDOOR SEATING . AMAZING DJS AND DANCE FLOORS . FANTASTIC EVENTS

Music was great, vibes were awesome. Bartenders look a little snappy. Only one stall in the restroom and like 5 urinals. ALSO, I didn’t realize it because I was a little typsy (unit I took a look at my total and the man said he couldn’t go back to change it when I was about to sign) but one of the persons walking around with $4 shots had their minimum tipping setting at $4. They’re able to put down their minimum and I feel like they’re taking advantage of people who are a bit under the influence. Of course when you’re a little drunk you’re feeling typsy, but that was plain out wrong to start your minimum tipping option at $4 for a $4 drink. I’ve had this happen at Rich’s on Halloween before. High cover and then asking for a high tipping option that started at $25, just beware because sometimes we don’t check the screen and think the tipping option is going to start at something like 20% not 100%. Crazy.

I came to Hillcrest for a night out with my friends the rocker security guard was so amazing and didn’t stop so well it was karaoke night and everybody was on their A game. I’ve never been to a place in San Diego with so much good atmosphere and friendliness. Total vibes
