In a sarcastic response to Hooters, years ago, my girlfriends and I came up with a similar idea, only we were going to call it Peckers. (complete with woodpecker outside, similar to the owl) :wink:

Don't know about the male joint; but I do know that a place that has been described as "just like Hooters..." will be opening up soon. I also believe that this will be the second location for this place, our more Southern 'Villians my recognize.

However, sorry to disappoint, the concept is in the opposite direction from our wildest rumours/dreams. The ladies are dressed a little more "casual" (is that PC enough for ya?) described as jeans, shorts, etc. The impression given by the owners is less naughty while still hottie, even maintaining that you can still go here for the wings...

I say, more power to anyone in the industry, bring on the good food, and the talk about it, and if it happens to be brought to me by a hottie (or even a naughty) even better. Though I do NOT wish to spark a tip debate on this one... :twisted:

Depending on one's gender or really, sexual preference; the food wouldn't have to be that good! :lol:

Is it possible that the place being discussed is another Roosters? The bartender at the Preston location said that the next franchise will be in the shopping center at Dixie and the Watterson. There are supposed to be 5 in this area within a few years. They do have excellent wings and cheap beer, but everyone working there is fully clothed.

I can't remember where, but someone recently told me about a restaurant with a similar concept to what you're describing.

I never understood the appeal of Hooters in the first place: the food is greasy and overpriced and the waitresses at the two venues I've visited weren't that attractive.

OMG! I remember talking to my hubby about this when Hooters starting popping up everywhere. We thought a place like this with male servers wearing speedos and bow ties would be a hit with both genders and a real $$ maker! We thought "Swinging Richards" was a great name, but I like Peckers too! :lol:

I think there actually may be a place called Peckers. I know I've heard it before..but can't remember where.

I would google it for you, but seeing that I'm at work, I'm afraid of what results I would get putting "peckers" in the search bar!! :shock:
