Sad but true. There is a pub I go to on a regular schedule for dinner. All the servers know that I always get Ashley if she is working (power of the kilt kicking in). She is young enough to be my daughter. I look at her and wonder if her mom is single.

Ah, but what does SHE wonder, I wonder. . .

I'm afraid the Tilted Kilt 'pubs' are a wee bit too commerical and 'gimmicky' for my tastes, but "to each is own," right? Thanks for the photo!

Cheers,

Went to my first TK about 11 days ago. Brand new here. Yes, its a gimmick chain restaurant. My bifurcated roommate liked it more than I did. The beer selection was fairly wide, but not very interesting; though, they do carry Guinness & Harp. We didn't eat, so I can't speak to the food quality. The staff was very well-trained. The decor is like TGI Fridays or Applebee's, but with a United Kingdom theme.

I was surprised that I seemed to be the only kilted customer they had since opening only a few days before.

My preference runs toward genuine pubs & neighborhood bars. My roomie wants to go back. The ladies were gracious & professional, but WAY too young & tiny for me.

Well Ok , I have to ask, just what is a "sports-bar"?

**Father Bill** · 7th June 12, 04:43 AM

Jock, I'm no fan, but it's a place where there are big screen TVs with the current games being played and decor all around showing momentoes and symbols of various popular teams in all leagues and in all sports. Other than that, it's a pub.

Its a pub where to drum up trade they show the footy on a big screen TV which kills the art of conversation. Generally frequented by less genteel types who drink lager, whatever that is?

Not a place where you can get a pint of Bishops finger or Old Hooky.

No Bishops Finger (I love that one!), but they did have Newcastle Nut Brown Ale on tap, and that's always a fine option. The girls were all easy to look at, good waitresses, and friendly. Food was better than many pubs I've been to on either side of the pond. Cheesy? You bet! I might go back.

My son recently returned from a trip to Phoenix (Tempe, actually). Turns out he really does care about the food at TTK's. He told me he likes the Danny Boy's Shepherd's Pie for dinner and a Big **** burger for lunch.

He agrees with a number of posters on this thread that TTK's doesn't try to present a Scottish pub atmosphere, but more of a mixed Scottish/Irish sports bar environment with "modern American overtones", ie boobs.
