A gay sports-bar stop in Los Feliz
Hi Tops Los Feliz is a gay sports bar at 1714 N Vermont Ave in Los Angeles’s Los Feliz neighborhood, positioned just above Hollywood Boulevard. It is part of the Hi Tops group, which also has locations in San Francisco and West Hollywood. The Los Feliz outpost combines the sociable, game-day focus of a sports bar with food, drinks and programming aimed at the local LGBTQ+ community and its friends.
The venue’s identity is straightforward: this is a place to meet for televised sport, casual dining and an energetic evening rather than a formal cocktail lounge. Hi Tops describes itself as a neighborhood gay sports bar, and its Los Feliz page highlights games on screen alongside DJs, trivia and recurring community gatherings. That mix makes it a practical option whether visitors are following a match, looking for a relaxed pre-dinner drink, or joining a scheduled event.
What to expect
Sports viewing is central to the experience, while the food menu gives the venue enough range for a meal rather than only snacks. The current Los Feliz menu includes familiar stadium-inspired choices such as fries, pretzels, nachos, wings, sandwiches and burgers, plus salads and bowls. Vegetarian and vegan-friendly selections are listed, including an Impossible burger, and there are non-alcoholic drink options as well. Weekend brunch is also listed on the official menu.
The drinks list spans beer, wine, spritzes and house cocktails, with zero-ABV choices for guests who prefer not to drink alcohol. Menus, ingredients, availability and prices can change, so it is best to use the official menu as the final reference before planning around a particular dish or drink.
Events and social atmosphere
Hi Tops Los Feliz publishes a recurring schedule that includes weekday happy hour, Monday-night trivia and Personal Best, a monthly queer community event held on second Saturdays. The venue also promotes DJ programming and other one-off occasions. These events can give the bar a more animated feel than an ordinary sports-viewing afternoon, so travelers looking for a quieter visit may prefer arriving outside major games or scheduled programming.
Trivia is listed for 8 p.m. on Mondays, while the official page identifies happy hour as running Monday through Friday from noon to 7 p.m. Programming is subject to change, particularly around holidays, special sporting events and private functions. Check the official Los Feliz page and the venue’s linked social channels close to your visit for the latest event details.
Planning a visit
The official listing currently gives hours of noon to midnight Monday through Wednesday, noon to 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday, and noon to 11 p.m. Sunday. Because late-night schedules and service arrangements may change, confirm them directly with Hi Tops before setting out. The venue lists the phone number (323) 284-8799 and email address info@hitopsbar.com for enquiries.
For groups, Hi Tops’ reservations information says it is generally first come, first served, with enquiries invited for parties of 20 or more and buyout discussions. Visitors planning a birthday gathering, team outing or larger Los Angeles night out should contact the venue in advance rather than assume a table will be available. Bring valid identification if drinking alcohol, and check the official source for any updated entry, reservation or event policies.
