Part of the Gay San Francisco Guide — bars, events & things to do.
San Francisco, California
The Castro's gay sports bar — game-day crowds, burgers and beer.
Hi Tops opened on Market Street in 2012 as San Francisco's first gay sports bar, taking over the former Lime and leaning all the way into the theme: reclaimed gym lockers, shuffleboard, and walls of high-def screens carrying every game that matters. The kitchen backs it up with bar food built for game day — nachos, a well-known chicken sandwich, garlic fries — and the place is dog-friendly to boot. The crowd is a jock-friendly mix of sports fans and Castro regulars, loudest on game days and during the big leagues' marquee match-ups. If you want the Castro with the volume up and a screen in every sightline rather than a dance floor, this is the anchor — easy to start a night here before drifting deeper into the neighborhood.
