Flicks Video Bar

O tym miejscu Flicks Video Bar

Flicks Video Bar is the Hillcrest institution that has survived long enough to become genuinely irreplaceable — a video bar on University Avenue that has been serving the neighbourhood's gay community for decades and that has maintained its format through the decline of the video bar as a broader nightlife category. The concept is simple: screens throughout the bar playing music videos, film clips, and themed content, with the programming shifting by night and by theme. What makes Flicks more than simply a bar with televisions is the culture that has developed around it — the regular clientele who come for specific nights and specific content, the conversation culture that the video format enables without the social pressure of a dance club, and the specifically Hillcrest character of the place. Flicks is located on University Avenue in the heart of the Hillcrest gay corridor, walkable from Urban Mo's and Rich's, and it occupies the social space of the neighbourhood bar rather than the destination club. For visitors who want to understand Hillcrest's community character beyond its headline venues, an evening at Flicks is the appropriate introduction.
