Kind of depends on which aspect of Capitol Hill you're looking for.
The Mission is full of hipster bars full of hipster dykes and fags. On nice days Mission-Delores park is full of pretty weirdos who don't have day jobs.
(unlike The Hill it also has the best burritos in the world, and legit dive bars where no one speaks english and you'll be scared but entertaining/ed (hint: order a bud, smile, and don't worry about regentrification, white hipsters are too afraid and mexican hipsters don't want to run into their dad)).
The Castro, still, if you're looking for clones, bears, or rainbow flags.
Polk if you're looking for regentrification in action.
SOMA if you seek an ultralounge.
The Tenderloin if you're looking for drugs or a cheap apartment.
There's also the east bay (it's not really that far away).
Uptown Oakland has really been coming up, there's a ton of great restaurants and bars, a ton of galleries- art murmur on first fridays totally kicks art crawl ass, and a lot of hipsters and queers (more on the dykey side). It's kind of like if there was a neighborhood in Tacoma that started to get its shit together.
And of course Berkeley if you have spare change and cigarettes that you'd like to give to rastas and crustys and you have a hankering for a cheap slice, mediocre falafel/indian/asian, or a $40 entree.Sorry 'bout the novel, what I'm trying to say here is that there's lots of neighborhoods that share similarities with Cap Hill (almost every one is on a hill) but none are the same, each has it's own charm, and 'hippest' is subjective. It's a big city but it's not that big and it's easy to get around so check it out and enjoy.
PS: check out SFBG, sfist, and funcheapsf dot coms for snark, perversion, and fun things to do. Go to the neighborhoods where those things are happening.

The Mission, probably. Before I moved away, Polk was fixing to supplant Castro as SF's hip gay neighborhood, which the Castro hasn't been for years. As I've haven't been to SF in five years, I'm not sure how that's turned out.
