SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- From lava lamps to popular film and TV references, a 90s-themed speakeasy has popped back up in San Diego after it sold out last year.
The Back 2 The Video Store speakeasy bar brings people back in time to the days of renting a movie and collecting Pogs, complete with photo backdrops and decor inspired by films like "Clueless," "Ghostbusters" and more.

The pop-up concept was created by Derek Berry, the head of experiences for the event advertising platform, Bucket Listers.
Guests can browse video store shelves but instead of pulling down a movie to rent, they can choose from a wide selection of drinks and curated cocktails inspired by award-winning films.
