Hi Tops Weho — Restaurant in West Hollywood

Update: Had a great interaction with Gio a few weeks ago. Great service and great, down to earth conversation.

Julio is always amazing too. He makes some of the best drinks.

Overall, hi tops is one of my favorite spots in Weho and staff is so welcoming and warm. Daniel, Taylor and previously Chris. I’m sure there are other names, including front door staff. that I can’t think of right now.

Not my favorite spot when it’s too packed though but I love coming here for daytime drinks, early evening beer and a burger, or Sunday Funday. Also, from big weekends like Halloween and Pride, this is my go-to. Good crowd control.

I think this might be my favorite spot on the main weho strip. Wether it’s for lunch, a post-work drink, or night out with friends, I HAVE to stop by even for a little. The Left Arm drink is my favorite but also the mezcal margarita. The fried chicken sandwich and the corn dog are so satisfying and flavorful. I love so many of the staff here. I see Julio everywhere. Bar back, bar, cashier, busser, delivering food, and interacting with other guests. What can’t he do. Taylor, Chris, Brady, and Daniel are amazing as well. They, along with the rest of the staff, make this establishment more welcoming and make me excited to come in. Food always arrives within a timely manner, even when it’s crazy packed. The vibe always feels so alive and it truly sets itself apart from the rest...

Updated Review: The owner reached out to me offering financial compensation for my stolen items, which was appreciated. I'm not sure if I'll be back there on a weekend night given the crowds, but the gesture was appreciated.

THEFTS OCCUR HERE FREQUENTLY I'm a woman and strong ally of the LGBTQ community, and for the second time I have been robbed at this bar. The first time, someone stole my iPhone 12 Pro Max out of my back packet, which the bar staff was not at all helpful in searching/ pulling camera footage.

Last night, I was wearing a small crossbody handbag with a zipper. The bar was packed shoulder to shoulder. While leaving the bar at 10pm, someone unzipped my bag and took my wallet out. I immediately noticed and turned around. The person ended up taking my cash and amex card and discarding the wallet and remaining cards on the floor.

Security noticed and didn't do a THING except collect the items and hand them to me, which leads me to believe the staff of Hi Tops are either perpetuating the crime or involved in it to some extent.

Yes, they may have security there but they are ineffective if not involved in the robberies altogether.

Be warned, this place is a breeding ground for crimes of opportunity. I live in Hollywood, and this is the ONLY bar I have been robbed from. Take your business elsewhere folks! Literally disgusted with this...

After Kitchen 24 modified their schedule it ceased being my second home. I was sullen and nostalgic as that place allowed me to enjoy dinner and libations, along with conversations that were cathartic. Slowly, though, Hi Tops has become that place for me. Dana has recruited some topnotch talent both in the back and front of the house. I cannot speak for the other dishes, but the grilled chicken sandwich is literally my daily bread. It’s juicy and moist, with a double dose of chicken breast and a chipotle sauce that envelops your palate with every bite. The drinks are consistently well poured and generosity seems to be on the instructional manual because you never leave cheated. And some of the staff are clear standouts for not only their professionalism and efficiency, but their genuine desire to gab about consequential topics and to know you as an individual. Among this elite cadre are Clint, Scottie, Eilish, and most especially Matthew, who might be their most dedicated and diligent employee. With their Gym Thursdays and Trivia Tuesdays, they surely are becoming the neighborhood Cheers we can all vaunt...
