Rally by EventbriteSeptember 12, 2016The only way you’ll be a loser at trivia night is if you leave without getting the wings, which may be some of the best in SF. Tables fill up quick on trivia night, so get there early. Tuesdays, 8pm. Read more
The food is awesome. The staff has an upbeat attitude which is always refreshing. Clean and well kept. Last but not lease sport it's the first of its kind in San Francisco.
Order yourself a corn dog and pretzel. They're equally awesome and your tongue will thank me for giving you something to eat their amazing mustard with.
Order food separately at the back bar. Ask for the vegetarian hot dog (a good veggie option not listed in the menu on the board). Enjoy the game and have fun!
Cheap beer, great vibe, tons of energy. Both staff and clientele are so nice. Ahi tuna burger is my favorite thing on the menu.
Slick neighborhood queer bar with surprisingly good food, great drink selection, and cute staff. Very chill for all of the pretty.
J KJanuary 17, 2017Monday nights, sports bar Hi Tops (2247 Market St.) offers a basket of eight wings for $5. The “buffalo wild wings” are fairly spicy, so be sure to dip ‘em in something cool.

Zach MaierDecember 14, 2012Like spicy drinks? Get the "Will the Thrill," it damn near changed my life. Also... The have a SHUFFLEBOARD table. Gay Castro sports bars ftw!
- Steven YanAugust 14, 2014Panda Colada was literally like a piña colada, very sweet. Big Unit was much more subdued for my tastes. If you're into playing shuffleboard, they have one of those. Don't think NYC bars have one.
Great atmosphere to meet friends. Quality food with plenty of drink options. An excellent place in Castro
Peter ChiuMay 1, 2016Bloody Nary's are the best. Food is pretty awesome too. Best place to watch sports
- Excellent bar food, great Bloody Mary’s, good game crowds!
Open for lunch! Hot pretzels, tasty kale salad, and great drinks!
Lisa RaphaelSeptember 16, 2021My favorite sports bar in the city - get the nachos and the kale ceasar with a michelada 👌🏼- Ken BaldwinMarch 31, 2014"JOCKS" hang out here.. my friends opened this bar - I've never been a fan of it. Its total butch femme realness in there.. Everyone pretends to watch sports. lol
Paul GaugerOctober 3, 2022Great bar with selection of cocktails and food too. Friendly crowd with a good atmosphere.
Good trivia on Tuesday nights, good food, and half the staff is good.
Great place. Think Nellies not Gym Bar or Boxers - this place is a real sports bar that gay folks frequent.
The burgers here are by far the best in the city. Especially when it's hand deliver by the hot jock staff!! Now time for more beer!
Great bar with even better food. Utilize the 3 'drink stations' at the bar for super quick service!
Chris H.January 25, 2015Go for trivia night on Tuesday! Tables fill up quickly so get there before 7 to get a spot.
Are you a gay bro wanting to hang out with and ogle other douchey gay bros? This is your place. Middling cocktails, but the pub grub is pretty good.
Trivia on Tuesdays is packed but fun. Get there at least an hour early to get a table
Wednesday night bingo is the best, and there's a pretty good chance you'll win a free shot before the night is over
ºDamian White ºSeptember 6, 2014Nice local vibe here. With nicely designed walls and sun coming in the right places. :)
"Will the thrill" is a delish, spicy drink. Spicier than you'd think, which is refreshing (and hot!).
Auburn SantoFebruary 18, 2013Try Will the Thrill! Muddled jalapeños :) Let the ice melt if you find it on the spicy side.
Matthew HammonJanuary 21, 2017The place is great although the bathrooms are unusually busy and the line up takes a while. Very odd.
Fernando SerranoSeptember 26, 2015Just want to grab a beer and talk to your friends? This is the place!
Awesome food / drinks / vibe. Great place to watch a game!!
Surprisingly good Castro pour for a new bar and nice to see different faces.
