Reviews
The gay Cheers™. The food is really solid, sometimes I come there specifically to eat dinner. Great drink list and cocktails. I’ve only had pleasant experiences with the bartending staff and the food service is quick! The clientele is cute, social, and flirty. My biggest issue is that sometimes I’m not sure if they want to be a sports bar or a dance bar? The music on Sunday afternoon at 5pm is blaring as loud as a club and I have to scream just to converse, which is antithetical to a sports bar on a nice afternoon vibe to me…but some people like that so sure. Trivia is fun. A great third space for watching survivor, sports, drag race. Thursday nights really feel like the locals nights which I personally love.
Hi Tops is a gay jock mecca in the Castro with notoriously fun vibes, great food and the queer spirit we all love. Always a great time
I can't decide what's better - the food, the drinks, or the staff. From the Berry Zito to the Big Unit, their handcrafted cocktails are absolutely delicious. The bartenders are always friendly and enthusiastic. As for the food, I'm a creature of habit and haven't explored much outside of the kale salad, quinoa salad, garlic fries, and their new veggie burger. But they are all so good that I keep coming back for more. By far the best bar food I've experienced. Hell, it even beats some restaurant food. I've been to Hi Tops several times and have experienced both busier times and slower times. Regardless of the size of the crowd, it's always a fun, welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely continue to recommend this spot to friends.
