"In a city that goes to sleep early, Hi Tops is somehow always full of people flirting like their faces might fall off. Hi Tops looks like any old sports bar with TVs covering the wall and people drinking copious amounts of beer, and it is that, but it’s also the best place to start your night out in the Castro before you inevitably end up at Beaux or an unlisted venue on this guide: the house of that guy you just met." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong, lani conway
