All The Gay Bars In San Diego

[@nofishinmydiet]

god, I love my neighbored! slight correction: the street you were on was University (Washington runs parallel to university but another block north) and down on the west side of University (by Mo's) is where 5th ave is. if you go south down 5th you'll go by #1 On 5th, as you showed, and also The Rail, but continue further south toward Downtown there's The Loft and SRO club. Incidentally, if you go east on University into North Park there's still more places to hang out. Pecs is on University and Alabama and in recent years has become the hangout spot for everyone from twinks to bears to leather daddies to our lesbian sisters to our elder gays. it's imho the most diverse gay bar in San Diego. thanks for the video 😃 I enjoyed looking at my hood from an outside perspective

[@biggooseadventures]

Thank you for the insights and watching

Thank you for watching

[@stevesalyer6261]

Isn't the name of that bar pronounced: Alibi. Example: "Where were you on the night of the murder? What's your alibi?"

[@biggooseadventures]

Thank you 🙏. Hope you enjoyed the video

[@bjornpalenius2144]

YES! Indeed!

[@JJ-in3bc]

Correct pronunciation, yes. Not sure if true... but I heard it was the oldest gay bar in Hillcrest, but has become straight or mixed at least.

[@focusedfreebird]

Thank goodness for update...haven't been there in awhile....nice to get an update on the current scene...😊 The loft is further down the street from the Rail. But the old piano bar called The Caliph closed. That was a fun place.😊

[@biggooseadventures]

Thank you for watching and I am glad you enjoyed it.

[@focusedfreebird]

You're welcome...liked your coverage!😊

[@biggooseadventures]

@@focusedfreebird thank you so much for the nice compliment

[@bjornpalenius2144]

YES! My best friend Sherman Mendoza had it for 16 years!

[@Keith19533]

I've lived here since 1980 and Flicks was never a dive bar...it was one of the first video bars. Thursdays was comedy night and it was packed. People went there to kill time before Dillon's (Rich's) opened.

[@biggooseadventures]

@@Keith19533 thank you for watching

[@Skipjordan73]

The only one missed is Pecs which is a leather type bar that is just east of where you started at In & Out 😍 ive lived in San Diego 22 years and absolutely love it. I happened to be at Flicks when you filmed and can see myself and friends there

[@biggooseadventures]

Thank you for watching. I totally did forget about pecs. Thank you for mentioning that.

[@biggooseadventures]

Which person are you in the video?

[@Skipjordan73]

At min 6:20 I’m in the dark blue shirt and hat just on the inside 😃

[@biggooseadventures]

@@Skipjordan73that's awesome. How did you find this video btw. We love to share stuff about our community.

I love watching your cruise videos and subscribed, and on Saturday morning (07/15) this video popped up in my recommended videos 😍😝

[@toyag638]

Gossip is one of my faves!

[@biggooseadventures]

It’s definitely a fun place

[@Theodorej1960]

Wow, all of the bars here, with the exception of the Rail, are all completely new to me!! Now, mind you, when I was doing my partying in San Diego, back in the late 70's and 80's, the go-to bars down there, and in other areas of San Diego were "The Flame" (Hillcrest), "Diablo's" (El Cajon), "The Club" (@Laurel & Kettner), "The Apartment", "The Box Office" and a couple of others. I was in the USMC at that time and stationed at Camp Pendleton. Back then, one could hit all of the women's bars and never have time to visit all of them before closing time, on a Saturday night. San Diego was such a wonderful partying town and we sure had a grand time, during that time in my life.

[@biggooseadventures]

@@Theodorej1960 thank you for watching and thank you for serving. I remember the apartment.

@@biggooseadventures Which bars do most daddies hang out at? 😉

[@biggooseadventures]

@@bigpantswastepreciousfabri8104 the bars in San Diego are very mixed. Everyone mixes together. There are all types at each bar.

[@kakarikiyazoo]

Lots of factual errors and some missed bars. One error is the 163 runs North -South so the walk down University is East-West. Flicks started as a video bar and was never a "dive bar". It did start small and expand though. It was even smaller that you indicated. It expanded twice, so was originally a third of its current size.

ALIBI: "a claim or piece of evidence that one was elsewhere when an act, especially a criminal one, is alleged to have taken place"...It wasn't me. I don't know hur.

Doesn’t look too diverse.

[@biggooseadventures]

Thank you for watching. San Diego according to the US census bureau. White alone, percent54.5% Black or African American alone, percent(a)5.9% American Indian and Alaska Native alone, percent(a)0.6% Asian alone, percent(a)17.4% Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone, percent(a)0.4% Two or More Races, percent12.8% Hispanic or Latino, percent(b)30.1% White alone, not Hispanic or Latino, percent41.5

[@DDMonJ]

Guessing I just didn’t see that in the video. But I guess probably just not as diverse in terms of the black population for sure. Compared to the rest of the US, and the US average, which is closer to 18-20%

[@biggooseadventures]

@@DDMonJthank you for watching again. Yes the black American population isn’t big in SD.

[@timslater566]
