"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, patrick wong, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"Hi Tops, a gay sports bar, leaves no room for doubt regarding the near-universal appeal of corn dogs and huge plates of nachos. Whether you shout at the TV during the entire NCAA tournament or it’s all sportsball to you, this convivial spot is for everybody, with trivia nights and Thursday “gym class” (go-go night, in other words). Pitchers, catchers, and hapless souls who were marooned in right field because their dad made them play baseball all fraternize over beers at Hi Tops." - ricky rodriguez, peter astrid kane, patrick wong
"No one should doubt the near-universal appeal of corn dogs and cauliflower-on-a-stick. This Castro gay sports bar will probably be filled with people eating all of the above, and fried chicken sandwiches, and wings. Whether you shout at the TV during the entire NCAA tournament or whether it’s all sportsball to you, this convivial spot is for everybody." - lani conway, julia chen 1, patrick wong
"The Castro is the perfect home for Hi Tops, the city’s gay-designated sports bar. Tuesday is trivia, and Thursday is “gym class” night, when people dress in wrestling gear and go-go boys hand out shots. Amidst it all, there are tons of TVs and better-than-average bar food." - Dianne de Guzman
"When you get to this Castro sports bar after dinner, the room will probably be filled with people eating fried chicken sandwiches and wings, but you’ll still be able to find a table in the back or an open spot at the bar. Enjoy a few drinks while you pet every dog that comes by, or fake catch-up on all the sportsball playing on the TVs on the wall." - will kamensky
