Hi Tops San Francisco — Restaurant in San Francisco

Hi-tops is a great space, if a bit crowded at times. But that’s kind of the point for this Castro sports bar, which is primarily just that, a bar. There’s a pretty big and well-curated menu of drink recommendations and specials worked out like a leaderboard in chalk just behind the bar. If you get hungry, the back of the bar had a kitchen and some standing tables serving an interesting and tasty selection of appetizer-ish food items until 10PM. I must say I was quite surprised by the quality of the food here: the nachos are really well done and quite amazing with pull-pork. Try a half-order, which is still quite a good portion, and you won’t leave feeling too hungry or guilty about it. The AMERICAN burger is really outstanding, with char-grilled beef that’s done perfectly. There are in fact few places near the Castro where you might find such good fast-food, in addition to whetting your whistle...

This place was high on my list of wings places to try. To cut to the chase, I haven't yet found my wings place, but this will get it done in a pinch.

The extra sauce on the side was missing some of the fattiness that improved the sauce once it was on the wings, but the extra sauce was a generous portion, as was the extra blue cheese. The blue cheese was thick and creamy, everything it should be. The carrots and celery were a bit stingy, and next time I'll ask for extra.

Overall, better than other wings places I've been, but the...

I came here with friends this afternoon to grab some beers on the recommendation that this is a fun spot and that their nachos are especially good. However, this afternoon I went in with some friends. We ordered and received our food, and then I went to order my myself and my friends drinks. A bouncer then came up and told me to leave. Upon getting outside, the bouncer told me I was kicked out earlier today and asked not to come back. I tried explaining that there is some mistake, and asked to speak to a manager. I was told a manager would not speak to me because they already spoke to me when they threw me out earlier. I can perhaps understand mistakenly asking a person to leave, but to not even allow reason to prevail when the wrong person is told they have been previously removed from an establishment...
