Gogo giving me attitude when. I was just trying to record him becuase he was a good dancer

Imagine going to a bar and having fun w friends. Go Fo boys come on and you like a couple of them & start recording them for fun. Oe of them is so rude. Doesn't like being recorded. There is no poliicy against it. Security a kicks you out because of it. Strangest and rudest experience. There are Way too many amazing gay bars I. WEHO to put up with their rude & odd behavior.

Went to Hi-tops for a couple times during our weekend here, and had a good time everytime we came! We also got food on different times. We got wings once and fries another. The Buffalo wings were delicious and savory with a perfect tang. So good, completely devoured them! And the fries cane with so much in a serving! The drinks were fine, it helped going for happy hour! On a Saturday night, it was so busy. We had to navigate a closed metal tin of sardines, but we made it work. Great vibe and friendly staff!

Great service and great vibe. Went on a fairly hot day, but was still pretty nice in the indoor/outdoor bar. It was pretty loud, so they messed up our order, but was happy to fix it. Took a while to get it out the 2nd time. Came during happy hour and had some cheap drinks. The grilled cheese was delicious. The garlic fries had just the right amount of garlic.

Oh Hi Tops... my first favorite bar in WeHo! I think this place offers a lot. Great atmosphere, kind bartenders, trivia nights, and even the food is decent! WeHo isn't known for clubs with good vibe and I'd say Hi Tops actually has good stuff to offer on their menu. I like the vibe here. We always go dancing here when we go out. It's not too light / not too dark and you can still have a conversation even when the music is at its loudest because they have a pretty decent patio space. I will say the last couple of times going to Hi Tops, there were playing the same songs as the other bars but that's just because that's the kind of music that's popular right now. I guess that makes sense. I like the disco ball - I feel like it adds a ton to the vibe. Hi Tops is a sports bar without rubbing it too much in your face. It's like we know they appreciate sports here but it's not screaming that you need to love sports to hang out here. It's just a place where sports are embraced, we'll go with that. We came here for Disney Trivia recently and it was super fun! The host was nice and engaging and it was great weather. They had plenty of seating and gave away good prizes. Totally into Hi Tops and love dancing here!

Service is overall good. They have tons of seating on (you guessed it) high top tables and stools. They offer food as well but we did not try anything. They have a good happy hour where well drinks were $6 I think until like 7pm. However I may not recommend their cocktail menu as it felt expensive. Paid $35 for the haterade drink since it game in a fake Gatorade bottle. The drink itself was not good but it was a ton so I'll give them that. However I did not like the taste and it felt super expensive especially when you don't know the price until you pay since they don't show the price. Just an average bar but could be a good stop if bar hopping and if you just take advantage of the happy hour specials like well drinks. I'd stick to the well drinks.

So you'd think I had already been to Hi Tops on Market in the Castro. But no, I've walked by but never been. Probably because it was usually crowded and there was some "game" on. I'm not big on sports talk. Well, Jamie W. and I were doing a bit of WeHo barhopping having had our first drink at Mother Lode. Yep, it was crowded, and yep, there was a game on. It's the second Hi Tops after the Castro location, and there's already a third one just opened in Los Feliz. Obviously they've hit on a winning formula for the weekend jock set. Probably not us though. We stuck around for their somewhat pricey craft cocktails. I went for the $16 Jackie J, a potent mix of Ketel One cucumber mint vodka, mezcal, basil and lemon cordial (photo: https://yelp.to/mEHwP575fH). Honestly it was quite on the harsh side. Jamie had better luck with the $17 Swaggy P, which blended Bacardi coconut, Appleton rum, amaro, orgeat, and bitters (photo: https://yelp.to/d1EJ9uAPNF). It was a much smoother libation. They also serve food which they aptly describe as "stadium fare"...fries, nachos, corndogs. What else would you gorge on during a game? Yo. DRINKS - 3 stars...true craft with mixed results AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...spacious though they moved tables away when the dancing started SERVICE - 3 stars...too crowded for much engagement TOTAL - 3 stars...put your cup on RELATED - Exploring WeHo?

Came in early and had a delicious snack while I studied before the afternoon crowd. There place was airy and comfortable! The bartender was very sweet and the cauliflower was delicious. I'll be back!!

Hi Tops is a cool spot. Good eats, great beats and actually some seats. This bar, grill and nightclub in casual West Hollywood is on the Santa Monica Blvd cluster of lgbtq+ bars, businesses and establishments that almost never sleep. You'll notice H.T. near places like Stache, Guisados of WeHo and not far Gym Bar. Like most establishments you'll show your ID just before the patio entrance into the bar and may even run into people you know like we did after dinner the other night. I guess I have friends in all places lol. You can squeeze your way toward the bar, paths can get tricky... If you've got a taller friend or companion with you, let them lead the way or just use your best judgement. Drinks as well as food is pretty reasonable. Well drinks around $12 each and up with speciality cocktails starting around$15 and up. It's mostly bar/pub like food - think burgers, wings and loaded things including big salads with extra everything. Vegan, vegetarian and even gluten-free friendly options. I was really glad I stopped in once my date pulled me in by the hand and got our first round of drinks. We made our way over to the table top shuffle board game they have and hang and dance to some of the best mixes of music I've heard though Stache definitely raised the bar. We couldn't really play any bar games as a lot of areas were in need of a little tlc after the dinner rush, but we had a blast. Overall Hi Tops is a little messy, but she's alright with me! Recommend for food anytime (kudos on portion sizes), bar fun also... just find a good spot inside or on the patio area overlooking the blvd fills up fast!! Q Tip: Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are always busy and the food rush before the night sets in is massive. Expected tables full of trays, empty drinks, napkins, etc to be stacked as staff attempts to bus tables throughout the night. Never have I ever seen more than one bussers with full bins and still so many areas covered in people's leftovers... If they had a designated area to drop off cups or trays after meals I think it could cut down before the rush. I'm all for clearing my space at establishments that offer it. Low to no waiting for the restrooms if needed at anytime or a detour from other bars. Tip your bartenders and servers!

The kind of hot guys that show up at this bar and drink cans of beer

Rad laid-back authentic Horny athletic gay bar you can taste the man essence in the air definitely three thumbs up.

Ask the Community - Hi Tops

Anyone have a phone number for this place?

Hi! Unfortunately we don’t have a landline at this location, but you can reach us at info@hitopsbar.com!

Would this be a good place to watch Womens FIFA World Cup Play-offs/Finals later in August?

Yes - they have a bunch of TV's so will have it on one or two of them. They play music so you most likely won't hear the announcers. Grab a drink and a tray of nachos and enjoy

Are trans welcomed?

I would agree with Sean. I have seen Trans people at High Top, but have seen a larger number at other local Bars. Hope this helps Have a great day!

Is there parking?

West Hollywood parking. If you can find metered parking on the street, that's an option. If you plan on being out there for a while, a parking structure or valet parking is the best option. The structure at the WeHo library is my go-to. No muss no… 

Is there an age minimum?

21+

The Abbey has been a popular place for my family and I to attend for decades. We stopped in today,…read morea Sunday, for lunch. We easily found a place to sit on the shaded outdoor dining area, all the time people were going inside the adjacent dining and dancing area for one of the Abbey's famous drag shows. I ordered the guacamole bacon cheeseburger with fries and my guest had the Philly Cheesesteak. My burger was cooked perfectly and looked great. The fries were fair, nothing to write home about. My guest loved his Philly Cheesesteak and it brought memories of the last time he ordered one more than a decade earlier. It's only fair that I mention the conduct of one of thr employees who appears to be a host. There was an ethnic couple (probably middle eastern) siting at the table next to us, dining and enjoying their meal, when this employee approached them and singled them out because of their ethnicity. He fawned all over them, loudly, apparently trying to be welcoming, all the while addressing them as "you people" and "we are open to people like you dropping in for a gold time." While he clearly wanted to be nice, he came off as condescending and racists and was very annoying to my guest and me and people at another table who muttered "what an idiot." On the positive sign the middle eastern couple didn't appear to be annoyed but, still, that's not the way first time guests should be addressed. We dropped in on the drag show after lunch but all seats were taken so we decided not to stand in the corner and watch. Getting smart, especially a good seat means arriving about an hour before the show. Today's show began at 1:30 pm. There are nearby parking lots, pricy and neighborhood parking if one can tolerate a moderate walk. The Abbey is an ice place to go, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. Dining is pretty good and their menu is not big. But they still have a nice variety of dishes.

Unauthorized Tip Added After I Closed My Tab…read more I came here for my friend's birthday and ordered a $15 drink. Unfortunately, the bartender was rude and dismissive, so I chose not to leave a tip. I closed my tab immediately, signed the receipt, left the tip line blank, and kept both copies of the receipt. My Cash App card was originally charged $15 that night, but the following day the transaction changed to $16. I did not authorize an additional $1 tip or charge. It's only a dollar, but that isn't the point. Customers should be able to trust that the amount they authorize on a receipt is the amount they are actually charged. Between the bartender's attitude and the unexplained additional charge, this was a very disappointing experience. I've kept my receipts and will be disputing the difference if it isn't corrected.

The unpretentious heartbeat of WeHo's bar crawl…read more In a neighborhood defined by dazzling, high-production venues, Trunks stands as a comforting and essential reminder that sometimes, the best experiences are the least complicated. This is not the place for bottle service or a velvet rope; it's where you go when you need a genuine drink and some no-frills, good-time energy. The charm here is in the dive-bar aesthetic, where the pool tables and sports on TV create a relaxed, neighborhood feel that is rare on Santa Monica Boulevard. While other places can be a scene, Trunks offers a reliably easy-going vibe, especially during a well-priced happy hour. For a West Hollywood bar crawl, Trunks is the essential starting line or the perfect low-key finishing post. The drinks are stiff, the prices are manageable, and the crowd is a welcome, mixed bag of locals and visitors. It's a testament to the fact that longevity in this scene comes from giving people exactly what they want: strong drinks, a solid vibe, and zero attitude.

One of my favorite bars in West Hollywood hands down…read more Still a good vibe with that slice of dive bar energy. The service is sensational and the drinks are gay bar standard with that little extra you just can't get at many other spots. Good patio space, upper deck area and room, though during pride, weekends, holidays and special occasions it is filled to the brim, like those great drink pours. The tunes are iconic. DJ Tony G drop keep dropping those beats!!! And they show music videos on their screens. Mother Lode is the oldest operating gay bar in West Hollywood, serving up the LGBTQ+ community and all since 1979. And after nearly 50 years of success they continue to thrive 7 days a week from 3PM until 2AM It's all about the good vibes and good times... Some themed nights like their Bubble Pop, Caballero (no recordings or videos, just you) and Flashback Mondays. I don't believe they still have karaoke nights here, I could be wrong. Very limited seating with a chair here or there and some benches against the upper deck. Restrooms are gendered but move pretty quickly and are typically still clean. While WeHo is all forms of pup friendly. Our four legged friends aren't allowed for many reasons. There's absolutely zero room on busy nights and we wouldn't want them to hurt themselves or get hurt navigating through the day/afternoon or night here. Local street, garage and some lot parking available in the area, mostly metered, time restricted or paid, especially at night. It's a well sized dive bar meets West Hollywood, and probably one of the most welcoming in the area.

We stopped by on a Monday around 8pm and it was surprisingly quiet at first, but before long people started walking in for Trivia Night and the atmosphere became much livelier. OR Bar has a really stylish, welcoming vibe. The black and gold decor, artwork, and chandeliers give it an upscale feel. I also like that it's more than just a nighttime spot. During the day, people come in to work, enjoy coffee, and just hang out, which gives it a nice neighborhood vibe. I ordered an Angry Orchard Cider and my friend ordered one of their Espress-OR Martinis. It looked great but it was strong! If you are an espresso martini fan who likes this style of drink, you will probably enjoy it. There are metered spaces behind the bar and there is also residential street parking nearby if you pay attention to the posted signs. Overall, this was a fun find and I can definitely see why it has become a neighborhood favorite. I would come back to try more of the cocktails and experience another Trivia Night.
