Extremely rude security guard demanded I open my small bag so he could finger thru it, which is illegal btw. GM refused to do anything about it. Stop hiring bitter nasty employees that don't even follow the law or have any customer service mindset. Not spending money or time here ever again. Gays need to stand up to these awful businesses.

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.

Drinks are lit. Awesome time. Just a little bit overwhelming for me. Nice eye candy

Probably one of my favourite clubs with a hugely diverse crowd, great music and phenomenal service from the bartenders. When traveling to San Diego this club is a must for us.

Still longing for the music played by all DJs was consistently better.

My boyfriend was assaulted at the bar after accidentally spilling his drink. We are new to the Hillcrest area and this was a terrible first experience at the bar. While the staff was nice a customer pushed my boyfriend down after he accidentally spilled his drink, and then threw water on him and kicked him in the face and the staff did nothing to mediate the attack nor rectify the situation.

June 20th I was drugged with a Benzo here at flicks. It is an ongoing case to see video footage of who did it to me . This is not a safe place to go to all because after this happened my friends told me it has happened to other people they know . .

This is not a safe space for queer people but rather a safe space for messy 20-something cis women.

Came here for Pride 2025. Cover was $20 a person, and the place was packed. The dancers theme, vibe, etc. didnt really seem any different than normal, so it didn't really feel very special for the $20 cover, but it's still a great place to vibe (better than Rich's with a $40 cover).

my friends tested positive for Rohypnol after going out here. called the staff to complain & they didn’t care. this place is dangerous.

I was roofied here. TWO friends had their phones stolen. Staff didn’t care, didn’t help, and did nothing. No security, no urgency, no accountability.

This bar is unsafe, and the staff is complicit. Do not go here if you want a fun time. There are much better (and safer) places. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!

My friend got roofied and two of us had our phones stolen. We tried to alert the bar staff that this happened and they straight up did not care. Looking through reviews, seems like this is a common occurrence. Do not go here!!!!
