You make it sounds like buckhead is a sleazy place but it has a multitude of upscale dining establishments. If you bother to go in you'll find that the food is good, the girls are friendly, the beer is ice cold and sports are always on. It's always packed so those of you who say it won't have good business are mistaken because they are actually booming. Most of these posts about it being a terrible establishment are likely from middle-aged women bitter about not losing the baby weight reminiscing about when they used to be young and hot if they ever were at all. Don't hate, just enjoy :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-11843123981271357522012-01-20T11:20:39.988-05:002012-01-20T11:20:39.988-05:00It's such a shame that these girls are exploit...It's such a shame that these girls are exploited, working there against their wills and all... wait, what's that?

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.

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.<br /><br />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...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-86163082850983614202012-01-12T13:40:03.421-05:002012-01-12T13:40:03.421-05:00I read the Yelp reviews of Twin Peaks in various c...I read the Yelp reviews of Twin Peaks in various cities and they are not too glowing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-38695860823371996982012-01-12T09:04:08.153-05:002012-01-12T09:04:08.153-05:00Look at how successful Tavern @ Phipps is...you ma...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.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-17846371126137564522012-01-12T08:36:11.269-05:002012-01-12T08:36:11.269-05:00Can't wait!!

So maybe Buckhead isn't the right place anymore for the taste n' tease of a breasteraunt.<br /><br />Actually the fact that astonishes me is that there are 8 Tilted Kilts in town. Who knew?<br /><br />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.

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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />You think they'll serve milk on draft?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-29426479509559443612012-01-10T11:55:15.611-05:002012-01-10T11:55:15.611-05:00@ Anon RE : DW.
