It's such a shame that these girls are exploited, working there against their wills and all... wait, what's that? They choose to work there?

Hmm.

"Any of you morons ever been to a Twin Peaks??? It is clear from most of the comments that none of you know what you are talking about. The beer rocks!! It comes out so cold there are ice crystals in the foam!!"

ummm, dude, that's not a good thing? but whatever, you keep drinking that shitty 4% ABV beer while looking at boobs you can't get in your own bedroom.

First off, the word 'Breastaurant' may be one of the smartest words ever created in the English language, it's just perfect. Second, if you're going to to eat the same pap off a Sysco truck that any chain restaurant serves, why not do it surrounded by some capital knockers. I mean, take a second and scroll back up to the picture on this post. Go on, the comment will still be here. You back, yet? Great. I mean look at the cans on the brunette in the middle, good night. And check out the girl on the far left. She might only be bringing some killer B's to the picture, but she's game for it. And did you see the tomatoes on the blonde in the center? Those are some great zonkers. So yeah, Twin Peaks, welcome to Atlanta and good luck.

For all you fans of the 90s TV show... Atlanta already has a "Twin Peaks" themed restaurant: the Bookhouse Pub.

Twin Peaks should be a big hit! Everyone says the food at Hooters and Kilt is "less than tasty", but the servers keep them coming back. A restaurant that serves better food and provides sexier servers? Finally! Sex appeal and food. It's the way to a man's heart. Definite win.

2012-01-12T14:54:43.504-05:00

Being a Dallas native, I first tried Twin Peaks roughly two years ago while I was out visiting family. We can all agree-to-disagree on the waiting staffs outfits, it is what it is. The main contributing factor that separates Twin Peaks from Hooters and Tilted Kilt is that their food is actually very good. There isn't one thing on the entire Hooters menu that I would refer to as "good" or even "tasty". Same goes for TK. I believe this chain got it right in terms of the actual quality of the food and beer, not simply the outfits of the girls to get patrons in the door.

I believe that Twin Peaks will capture the entire Tower Place office complex, as well as surrounding business along Piedmont. Being a block away from Peachtree & Piedmont certaintly helps. Do you think the 23-40 yr old males are going to want to sit in rush hour traffic on Thursday and Friday afternoons? Or do you think they would go have a beer at happy hour to a place where they can walk to... Seems like a no brainer to me. I honestly believe TP will flourish in that location, given its exposure to Lenox, Piedmont, and steps from Peachtree. It has the potential to become the new happy hour spot in buckhead, as opposed to the overcrowded and no-parking spot known as Tin Lizzy's. If they open that patio up at Piedmont and Lenox, it could be something really cool...

Look at how successful Tavern @ Phipps is...you may not like what the cocktail waitresses wear or agree with it, but you still have to admit that it's a proven success in Buckhead. If TP has even moderately decent food they'll pull a large crowd just because of the prime location and the inevitable set up of TVs everywhere you look. Factor in good looking waitstaff and give extra points if they can figure out an awesome patio and it'll be the next "it" place for weekend games and happy hours.

Any of you morons ever been to a Twin Peaks??? It is clear from most of the comments that none of you know what you are talking about. The beer rocks!! It comes out so cold there are ice crystals in the foam!! The food is great too...not like the crap at Tilted Kilt or the so-called wings at Hooters.

2012-01-11T23:24:40.205-05:00

It will probably do well enough. Although there used to be a Hooters on Roswell Rd in Buckhead that closed and became a Shane's Rib Shack if I'm not mistaken. So maybe Buckhead isn't the right place anymore for the taste n' tease of a breasteraunt.

Actually the fact that astonishes me is that there are 8 Tilted Kilts in town. Who knew?

And Buckhead is oversaturated with strip clubs? The only one I can think of is maybe Tattletales, and that area just barely qualifies as Buckhead if at all. What other strips clubs are in Buckhead?!?

2012-01-11T11:48:45.177-05:00

Can't we have a classy place open up in Buckhead? Does everything have to turn into a sleazy strip club? The area is oversaturated with strip clubs. Can't there be more sophisticated entertainment? Does everything have to appeal to the lowest common denominator? My god, can't people just eat in peace? Does sex have to play into everything??

2012-01-10T22:42:05.877-05:00

holy tacky batman! can't wait to watch this close. if you're that desperate for boobs just go to a strip club and save yourself the imaginative work.

2012-01-10T13:34:24.354-05:00

12 or 24 months? a standard retail lease is 3 years, a restaurant with its detailed build out is generally a 5 year lease with one or more 5 year options.

@Anon, You make some great points and I too hope Farmburger can attract customers on the weeknights and weekends minus the awkwardness.

Perhaps you address you draft milk question with @TwinPeaksGirl ;)

Thanks for the comment and for reading the blog.

2012-01-10T11:55:53.737-05:00

If they signed a 12 month lease I give them 6-9 from the date of opening before wondering wtf they're doing continuing to pay the power bill with a negative cash flow - if they were persuaded into a 24 month lease I give them around 9-14 from the date of opening.

Places like tilted kilt & hooters excel in areas like Smyrna because A) they have no other options for the work lunch crowd B) the wives of the diners stay ITP, and they won't have to risk being seen. With that location, the majority of businesses around here wouldn't want their colleagues from work or superiors see them leaving after they realize what it is.

With it being that size of a space, and paying their portion of the parking garage maintenance and repair based on volume it won't work.

Sadly my favorite burger place, Farm Burger, while packed out every week day for lunch appears dead every time I venture by it at night and on the weekends. The TV's they recently installed won't help either. It's not a place someone wants to go to watch a game. It makes it awkward as well if you tried to do so with the way the seating / serving is there. That being said - it's a much smaller space, and the weekday lunch crowd is so robust, I see that maintaining so long as they didn't agree to some ridiculous terms for that space.

I however have no clue how Cantina is still open a few blocks away, or who in their right frame of mind would spend money there; so who knows. I'll loudly proclaim myself an idiot, wish them success, and buy lunch for someone that disagrees at my local breastaraunt if I'm proven wrong.

You think they'll serve milk on draft?

That looks like a fabulous spot to start off the night for a 21 year old's bachelor party. Who wants some shots?
