Millions of Sports Illustrated readers will get a look at a Bay Area 49er fan celebration they may not be familiar with.
A photographer snapped a photo at "Hi Tops" in San Francisco's Castro District when the 49ers clinched a spot in the Super Bowl. The image captures the thrill of victory with cheers and kisses at a gay sports bar.
"Hi Tops" opened a few months ago, bartender Logan Chavarria says, "A lot of people come in and don’t even know it’s a gay bar and then we find out we have common bond."
The 49ers are definitely bringing people together.
Chavarria says being part of Super Bowl coverage in a mainstream sports magazine feels like a win for the community, "You kidding I told my mom she cried."
Owner Jesse Woodward says the photo sends a winning message "Sports fans from all walks of life and we’re all a big melting pot everyone can get along."
