"Though it’s technically a sports bar, Hi Tops patrons often get down on the dance floor. The bar is a Bay Area transplant that originally opened in West Hollywood in 2018, only to expand to Los Feliz in 2023. Expect plenty to drink as well as a self-described “gourmet stadium food” menu with soft pretzels, buffalo wings, giant trays of nachos, brunch items on weekends, and the usual array of burgers and fried chicken sandwiches." - Rebecca Roland
"Hosting a queer bar industry night on June 18 featuring cocktails from queer bartenders across LA." - Rebecca Roland
"From the moment Hi Tops’ newest location opened in Los Feliz, this “high school locker room” themed sports bar has been standing-room only. That’s because, despite recent improvements, this corner of town is still largely starved for casual queer spaces. Similar to its Weho location, Hi Tops isn’t the place you go to sweat things out on the dance floor. It’s more of a weekday pub where trivia night, Dodgers games, Survivor watch parties, and a daily Happy Hour from 12-7pm draw enormous crowds. " - brant cox
"Hi Tops is one of the Weho’s most popular (read: crowded) gay bars, so it was only a matter of time before another outpost of this sports bar popped up. Located on Vermont in Los Feliz, not only does Hi Tops provide this part of town with another queer space, it’s also a legitimately decent place to watch a game. Is anyone here actually doing that? Not really. But the walls of flat-screen TVs give you the option. There’s also a weekday Happy Hour from 4-7pm with discounted wine, beer, and well drinks, and if you want to exercise your mind, Monday trivia nights draw a crowd. " - brant cox, sylvio martins
"Hi Tops sits at the top of our Weho queer bar rankings, partially for its punny name and partially for its excellent cocktails. And apparently we’re not the only people who love it, because this Bay Area export is expanding with another location in Los Feliz. The new Hi Tops bar will have plenty of TVs to unironically watch sports, plus typical game-day foods like wings, burgers, and nacho platters. " - Sylvio Martins
