Not much imagination went into the name.
A debate from a couple weeks ago regarding Page 3 and how it objectified women etc... made me wonder how fellow abers see this establishment, and further to that, would you visit?

[andy-hughes]

I wouldn't visit, because any company that advertises 'unapologetic fun' is not going to be offering an atmosphere that I would find appealing.

I think this is an example of cultures not crossing the divide well.

It'll all go tits up!

I`ve been to one in Miami. As far as I remember, the girls wear orange shorts. I didn`t see anything offensive but then I was too busy chatting and drinking Budweiser. Don`t know what they`re planning for over here.

[B00]

don't see why not, it's a pub like any other.

[EcclesCake]

The food is below average and the staff all wear at least 20 denier American Tan tights, no I won't be visiting again.

[B00]

If they want to open in Manchester, they better have thermal vests on too.

[Sipowicz]

Forget the thermal vests, somewhere to hang your coat!

[Svejk]

It'd put me off my beer.

No big deal. It is not as though your bud will be served with a breast dangling in it,
Being a US based company I hope they are firmly appraised on their obligations to HMRC though before they expand.

There are a couple in my general area; however, I've never been to one and probably never will. The atmosphere, or ambiance, is too "supermarketey". It's just not the same as a smaller local bar. The "girls" make fantastic tips there: $200-$300 a shift, and more if there's a big hockey or football game on.

I'm inclined to side with Boo here.....fur lined knickers won't go a miss as well !

Watching football with fried food and beer served by hot busty girls in skimpy shorts?

And here's your typical Manc bar maid.

Enjoy fellas!

[237SJ]

"male heaven" - well, let`s be honest. It doesn`t take much :-)

[anneasquith]

we have to admire joe's honesty.

Nobody will fall for that, B00... you can read the URL.

[B00]

Haha, too scared to open link?

Wuss!

(actually, I don't blame you!)

These places are all the same whether they are Hooters in the US (UK) or places in the dodgier parts of Bangkok. The girls just want your money. You can order drinks from them, you can try to make conversation with them but at the end of the day they just want your dollars/pounds in tips. It`s all very false.

Joe is busy watching the tight-ends and wide-receivers...Oops: wrong kind of footy:)
