Wrestling with age-old questions of decency and morality, Evanston took up the question of appropriate community standards this week, turning down a liquor license for a racy sports bar that some residents said was more about selling sex than suds.

It is inappropriate to do anything heterosexual men like now.
So silly. Let the market decide. I’ve been to the Tilted Kilt here in San Diego. Mediocre food (at best) and very unremarkable waitresses dressed more completely than 90% of the young ladies on our beaches during the summer. Hardly a threat to the public.
I hear there is a chain in Texas and New Mexico that put Hooters to shame.
” more about selling sex than suds” I’ll need pics of course...
OK! Thats just........pretty!
Too bad they are so darned young. I’m getting too old!

Twin Peaks?
It’s a fun place to visit the week of Valentine’s Day.
Never cared much for Hooters, especially the last time back in 2003 when the manager came up and said he was short-handed, so he’d be taking our orders.
He ran away in a flurry of beer and napkins, and we waited 20 minutes for that for which we came.
I like.
The “Twin Peaks” chain is very nice, as well.
The trend of “breastaurants” that take things a little farther than Hooters but not as far as strip clubs has shown up in Texas and other places.
Given the way some young women seem to dress when they AREN’T being paid to expose a little cleavage or midriff, it does seem rather harmless to me. For the girls, it’s a way to make some better money if you don’t mind a little ogling and flirting with guys of all ages. If it does make a woman feel uncomfortable, there are hundreds of other restaurants and bars to work in that don’t require waitresses or bartenders to show as much skin.
I personally see this as an outgrowth of the sexual harassment movement in the workplace. Men of a certain age range are going to look, comment and maybe even fantasize a little and as long as that’s all it is, it’s harmless. They can’t act on these impulses in the workplace now or be subject to fines, firing or possibly even jail time.
So strip clubs were born where men could say and do some of what they were no longer safe to do at the office. But there was a stigma attached. Hooters bridged the gap but they aren’t for everybody.
Thus, places like Tilted Kilt, Twin Peaks, Bikini’s and Bone Daddy’s have sprung up. Some of them have been very profitable while others haven’t. Typically, the food and the service are subpar but, with young girls showing off skin and a bevy of big screen tvs everywhere, you’re not supposed to notice that the food is overpriced and a little too greasy.
If Evanston doesn’t want one, no sweat. The chicks at Northwestern probably aren’t that hot anyway.
Tilted Kilt = McHooters.
Good for Evanston!
Me likey likey. DO they do home delivery?
Went to one for the first time in Oklahoma City.
Like it, A LOT.
Probably because the Indiana girls with whom I’ve become accustomed have been too much of the “corn fed” variety, if you know what I mean.
In contrast, those female denizens of the Oklahoma range are a leaner breed.
Type “Oklahoma Sooners” on a Google.com Images search. If you get the same result, the second image is peachy.
