About
Hi Tops stands out as a Castro sports bar that leans fully into an 80s-gymnasium aesthetic, complete with lockers and scoreboard-style decor. It pulls a mixed LGBTQ+ and straight crowd, mostly locals in their 20s to 40s, over for games, pub grub, and craft beer.
The bar is always busy during big games, but it's also a solid choice for a casual after-work drink or happy hour. Food options include American classics, burgers, pizzas, sandwiches, and some Mexican dishes. The music and bartenders get consistent praise.
