"We respect any bar that pulls off a punny name, and Hi Tops has that going for it. This popular SF transplant is still pretty new by West Hollywood standards, and for that reason alone, it’s crowded. The high-school-themed space is big and open, which is ideal for people to stand around and look at each other until somebody makes the first move. Tuesday night trivia is very popular, and some people are here to watch sports unironically. That said, the most surprising aspect of this place is its excellent craft cocktails. Go for the mezcal-heavy Magic Hour, or The Claw, made with gin and cardamom bitters." - brant cox
