"We respect any bar that pulls off a punny name, and Hi Tops is the current reigning champ of West Hollywood. Right in the thick of things on Santa Monica Blvd., this high-school-themed bar is big, open, and always crowded—ideal for people to stand around and stare at each other until somebody makes the first move. Tuesday night trivia is very popular, and some people here watch sports unironically. That said, the most surprising aspect of this place is its excellent cocktails. So instead of your usual vodka soda, go for the mezcal-heavy Magic Hour, or The Klaw, which is made with gin and cardamom bitters." - brant cox
