Flicks celebrated its 40th anniversary with a 1983-themed party on Friday, Sept. 22, that included performances, food, and a hosted bar for a portion of the evening. A representative from Mayor Todd Gloria’s office stopped by to present a proclamation declaring that day to be “Flicks Day in the City of San Diego,” and Councilmember Stephen Whitburn’s office also presented a special recognition. Flicks is open seven days a week and has daily happy hour, trivia, karaoke, sports watch parties, and dancing, drag and DJs at night.

One of the first places I went to (circa 1987), as a young man. Congratulations, Flicks on your well deserved anniversary.
When I moved here from LA in 1983 it was new, but small! Only the left part was open! Great music and videos back then!
