Restaurant that employs skimpily-dressed waitresses
Waitresses at Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill (Austin , 2010)
A breastaurant is a restaurant that requires female waiting staff to be skimpily-dressed. The term dates from the early 1990s, after restaurant chain Hooters opened in the United States.[ 1] The format has since been adopted by other restaurants, including Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery , Twin Peaks , Ojos Locos , Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill , The WingHouse Bar & Grill , Redneck Heaven and Bombshells Bar & Grill.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
These restaurants often use a sexual double-entendre brand name and may also have appropriate themes , both in decoration and menu. The restaurants may offer perks for customers, such as alcoholic drinks and flirty servers.[ 5]
