Tilted Kilt Pub and Eatery is a Celtic themed sports bar and franchise restaurant chain in the United States and Canada that employs scantily-clad female servers in short kilts (known as a "breastaurant").[2] The staff dresses in thematic attire; the men wear kilts and the women wear "mini-kilts" and plaid bras.[3]
History
The first Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery was opened in the Las Vegas Rio Hotel and Casino in 2003 by restaurateur Mark DiMartino and business partners and co-founders Shannon Reilly and John Reynaud.[4] The concept was a "contemporary, Celtic theme sports bar, staffed with beautiful servers." It took one hour after the concept meeting for Harrah's to contact DiMartino and inquire about immediate development.[5] As of August 2015, Tilted Kilt has 107 locations. Additional locations are more than likely in development based on February 2014 reports that Tilted Kilt had 93 locations and 27 in development.[6]
Titled Kilt sponsored Todd Bodine's Germain Racing truck on March 7, 2009, for the Camping World Truck Series at the American Commercial Lines 200 race.[7] [8]
Tilted Kilt sponsored Korbin Forrister's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series on October 1, 2015.[9]
Atmosphere
Tilted Kilt describes itself as "a modern American, Scottish and Irish sports pub".[5] The menu is a mix of traditional and contemporary pub food, serving items such as fish and chips, "Olde Dublin Irish Stew", and "TK Irish Nachos".[10] Each bar features at least 24 beers on tap, including flagship beverages such as Guinness and Harp Lager.[2] The establishments are filled with televisions for sporting events and games such as billiards, shuffleboard, and darts are available for the patrons.[11] The Kilt Girls wear bras, baring cleavage and midriffs.
Undercover Boss
Tilted Kilt and its owner, Ron Lynch, were featured on the November 9, 2012, episode of Undercover Boss on CBS.[6][12]
