    I was in Chicago for Superbowl weekend - where to watch the Patriots demise??? After explaining our game watching criteria: "man cave away from home", lots of large TV's, lots of beer and greasy ass bar food - to our bartender at the hotel, we asked his recommendation for a spot to watch the game. The Tilted Kilt was his recommendation. The Tilted Kilt met all of our criteria - and to our surprise upon arriving, added a little Hooters- like atmosphere as well. We had a great time. They had plenty of tv's, and offered raffles and a big block pool to keep things lively. We sat at the bar where Melissa was our bartender. Great service, and entertaining! It was exactly what we expected and were looking for - just a bar. Hence the 4 stars. The only negative was the attendant in the men's room. Really? In a sports bar? That was just annoying and useless! J

    Raunchier than Hooters, but the food isn't as good. Service not so great. Waitress will forget that you ordered anything and then overcharge you. The drinks are weak and overpriced. Come here if you're a creepy old man. Trust me, you'll enjoy it.

    I don't understand the appeal of this place but at the same time I don't understand the hate. Tilted Kilt is a regular bar in the Scottish theme of Hooters, think scantily clad women wearing skimpy outfits and kilts. This investor run franchise chain offers not the warmth of a pub owner but in the same note does not offer the horrendous crassness of a two bit dive. No, Tilted Kilt is a nice place, well kept and very clean as you would expect out of a nice bar downtown, and there is an OK selection of beer. Food I didn't find to be anything special but it wasn't terrible either. I don't have much of a problem with Tilted Kilt but I find it hard to find anything special or anything they do particularly well. They have Golden Tee for those of you interested, however their darts are plastic which leaves me uninterested to play. There are plenty of TVs in Tilted Kilt and a pool table, so knock yourself out if that is your thing.

    Are you joking me? This place is Titty-Land. Chicks wearing next to nothing with their silicone spilling out (okay, maybe there's something natural in those cups, but I wasn't seeing it). Packed with men (duh) and in-between watching the game on giant flat-screens they can ogle the girls with the giant...yeah. Seriously, this place is ridiculous...just over the top, ridiculous. The hostess was friendly and the server was prompt but I couldn't wait to get the hell outta there. PS, for the few dudes who work there, why aren't they wearing some skimpy manties? I think it's only fair that the girls get some eye-candy too! PPS, I think I saw a couple on a date here, what??!? PPPS, bonus to being outnumbered 10 to 1 by men, no wait at the ladies room. Score!

    Everybody knows what a Tilted Kilt is, and usually I would rate a restaurant like this a 3/5 or less. However, I have eaten at this restaurant many times with my coworkers, and we always receive our food extremely fast. Furthermore, their food is good - not fantastic, not terrible, but acceptably good. The waitresses aren't always attentive. Sometimes you'll get a waitress who would rather sit with another customer at their table and talk for 15 minutes, instead of take your order after you've been seated. Not to mention the busboys who prowl the floor and look extra creepy while they look for plates to take. This place is worth a try, you'll probably enjoy it!

    My friend and I were cold and hungry and so we went into the first eatery we saw in the loop. My first impression told me that it looked like a sports bar. Then the noise factor set in, and I thought it might be too loud for us to even hear each other. At first the hostess told us that it would be a 20-minute wait. So my friend asked if we could go somewhere else where the noise level isn't as loud, and the hostess immediately told us that she has just the table for us. She sat us down, and ok, the noise level isn't as bad as before but it was still pretty loud. Anyway, I like that they serve Guinness. The pulled pork sandwich that I ordered wasn't bad either but I couldn't really taste the BBQ Guinness sauce. I didn't really like the fries though; it was a bit too salty. The women workers.... This place made me think of a Scottish version of Hooters but I've never been to Hooters. Great place for people to oogle at boobs if that's what you're looking for.

    Weird atmosphere. Went for trivia night with friends. "What are your specials?" "312, Green Line and a seasonal $6." "What's the seasonal?" "What do you mean?" Didn't try the food.

  • Marcel M.

    Food is sub-standard. I've gone three times and the wings were all over the map in taste. Also, tilted kilts are not the attraction, but they couldn't call it Shrunken Brassiere.

  • Alan C.

    My friend told me this place had girls in kilts and showed a lot of cleavage, it was like a version of Hooters so obviously I got excited and had pretty high expectations. This place was not like Hooters at all. Although they had good happy hour prices for beers and lots of TVs with all kinds of sports games on, the girls here were pretty busted. The two bartenders we had were really nice though. I guess I'm just spoiled being from Cali.

    Came here with a friend on a Sunday evening before catching a show at the Chicago Theatre. Figured we'd see what the big deal was. Well the place was 3/4 empty (football season was over, so we got a good look at the decoration. While I may reccomend tilted kilt to view a soccer or hockey game, the service and food leave a lot to be desired. My friend ordered the irish nachos (more chips than topping. Some of the chips were stale, the rest were soggy. Topping was bland unseasoned ground beef and that artificial processed cheese sauce. My take: if you're going to serve any kind of nachos either use fresh cheese or don't bother. Would've been better off with the kettle chips alone. Same goes for the spinach dip I ordered. Plenty of tortilla chips, but there was hardly any spinach in what eemed like whipped topping with green food coloring. While the burgers across the table LOOKED promising, we didn't have time to order an entree. Since the place was three quarters empty, there would be no justifying the servers all huddled up at the hostess' booth with the busboy (especially when we are trying to pay the check and get going) Finally, anyone going there for the eye candy might be surprised there too. Waitresses will look nothing like the advertisements (no surprise there) For the record, I'm a straight man who's had the good fortune of studying in Europe for nine months (lived 5 minutes away from the beach. So Yes, I've seen plenty). My opinion on the skimpy outfits? They'd be fine if the servers were in shape. But when you re seeing boobs hanging 3/4 of the way down to a woman's hips, or muffin tops hanging over the plaid skirt, I think it defeats the whole purpose of the scantily clad outfit. I'm sure that if the pub were featuring male servers in skin tight shirts (for the women's amusement), they would most likely be required to stay physically toned. Just saying that this should apply to both genders in this kind of environment. Like I said before, tilted kilt might be a nice place to view a game or even check out the live bands they have occasionally. But make sure you go and eat (and drink) somewhere else first. one star

    Ok, I like tatties as much as the next person, but this place was a big giant NO. We stopped in to see a local band that was playing and the place was not overly crowded, but that didn't stop the waitress honies from ignoring us for a good 30 minutes. My bestie got so desperate she fanned out 5 twenty dollar bills and started waving them frantically at every kilted chippie within a 7 table radius. I was almost to the point of borrowing somebody's penis and waving it around to get some attention when we finally managed to snag a server. She was adorable, but that didn't make up for the "doubles" we ordered, which in actuality had less liquor in them than a normal watered down libation at the corner pub. We got a total of 4 drinks, so imagine my shock when the tab came and it was $61 FREAKING DOLLARS. ARE YOU SHITTING ME? I am not a cheap-ass when it comes to partying, but WHAT NOW?? Generic decor, 10,000 big screens, blah blah zzzzzzzzzzzzz... And now Yelp wants me to recommend the "best nights" to visit. Uh, the 12th of never, perhaps? NO.

    WOW... Came here March 17th (St. Patty's) it was my first time here. I came here with some friends about 8 of us. I will give one compliment and then I am going to rip this place apart. The manager was very nice and quick accommodating a large party. That is my one compliment. Granted it was St.Patricks Day, however I did not think our waitress would be HAMMERED!!! When I say hammered she was seriously out of control, it took her over 25 minutes to get our drinks. When we went up to her after 15 minutes, she had no clue what we ordered (almost like she had no clue who we were). In the mean time she was basically lifting her shirt up to show men her boobs (kid you not) Every time she came to our table she would sit down and put her hands all over everyone at the table, men and women. She then decided to tell us how she was super hammered, she told us that she started drinking at 10am. Seriously it clearly showed, she was standing on the chair and basically rubbing her body down! She proceeded to tell us that she does not take men home with her from the bar, but then decided to tell us about her sex life. TERRIBLE experience!! I have no problem going to a restaurant were the women were revealing clothing, but she was just ridiculous. I will NEVER go back!!!!

    I liked it better when it was called hooters well, the "sloppy jane" is actually decent, but not sure if I could take the "atmosphere" again

  • Tonia O.

    UGGGGHHH! SUPER nasty bathroom! I almost lost my sub-par food trying to tinkle here. I decided to order the Irish Stew. Why does the words Irish+Stew make one think that they will receive a hearty meal. Oh, it was quite the opposite. It was straight out of a big can. GROSS! I took one bite and sent that CRAP back. Instead I decided to order the fettucini w/sausage. Also sub-par. I thought I was eating an Italian beef with all the onions and bell peppers! UUUGH! When I sent my plate back the waitress had a visible attitude. Which was also equally disgusting...seeing as it was my first time here, it was just unnecessary. To add fuel to fire, the bus boy cleaned up the table before we finished or ordered dessert. Beyond rude. This place needs to CLOSE. Might I add that they DO NOT CARD! I know I don't look 21 (although I am), so the fact that I could order drinks....was pretty crappy. Not to mention that there looked like quite a few male minors in the crowd. tsk. tsk.tsk. First time and last time.

    It is very apparent that they hire girls here solely on how they look, because every girl who I have come in contact with that works here is as dumb as a pile of bricks. My name is Erin. It's a typical, common name. It took the hostess like 5 minutes to spell it correctly. Seriously. Our waitress was a lot better than the hostess but still kind of slow in the head. Food was okay. Typical bar food like burgers and nachos, sandwiches and wraps. Tap selection was pretty stellar including Hoegaarden and Leffe . The place was really clean and nicely decorated with a modern Irish pub feel. They had flat screen tv's covering like 70% of the wall space. If you're in the area - check it out. Especially if you are a guy who like starring at boobies while you eat. Since I don't fit that description, I probably won't be back.

    I kept hearing of the competition that "Hotters" had. I needed to go and see what the hoopla was all about. Guess what? Wasn't as impressed as I thought. The difference is so much! Yes, for circuses they do have a better look than hooters, and this time around they included guys in the mix with kilts, but the food, at best was okay. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying they are bad in the least, but I think that for the wait and for the money, it didn't measure up. Hey, the women are beautiful and the place has a good vibe, but no, I didn't see the competition. I was waiting for fire in the air but didn't get it. Maybe I went on a bad night (Friday), but whatever, it didn't measure up to the hoopla. Sorry kids. I guess I will stick to Hooters for sure.

    This location is older than the TKs I usually go to in the burbs. Overall it's not my top pick when in the loop because there are so many other options. Food is ok but again so many better options in the area.

    I've been to the Tilted Kilt in the suburbs, but not to this location in the city. I used to live in the suburbs, but now I live in CA. I was catching up with friends in the City while I was in town and my co-worker from CA happened to be in town too. I suggested we go to TK for drinks because I thought he would find the servers amusing. The food and drinks were ok, but the service was awful! After we were seated, it took a while before a server came to take our drink order. And even after that, it took forever for us to get our drinks. I got hungry, so I decided to order a flatbread pizza. And of course, that took a while to bring that out as well. While I was waiting for my pizza, I checked with a server about my pizza, and she explained that they only have one oven to cook pizzas, so that's why it was taking so long. I seriously wanted to ask the server for our check before my pizza came out because I knew it would take her forever to bring it to us. My friends and I had to explain to my coworker that the Tilted Kilt(s) in the suburbs were a lot better than this one. We ended up going somewhere after we ate my pizza for more food and drinks. If you want to eat/drink at Tilted Kilt, go to a different location. The service here was just unacceptable.

    So, I thought it was like...a pub. This is more of a Disney pub for Dicks. Titties galore indeed. I love a nice rack as much as the next person, but not really with my food. (No-really, they are poppin' and hard to keep your eyes off of) I think it may work more for a one of my girls (or guys) night out, but surely not your significant other. I think I may try to come again on a weekday for quality service. Bar keep was rude, though they had enough staff on board. I think mine were bigger than hers, maybe why drinks were poorly poured and tasted like a melted down Otter Pop. Look, it was a Friday, and I was looking to leave the city tipsy. I ended up at Miller's down the way instead.

    I do not think I gave ever been a bar with worse customer service. My buddy and I sat at the bar and it took 15 minutes for the bartender to acknowledge us (even though she walked past us at least twice.) we order our beers and then we are forgotten about. We reminder the bartender and she says I am busy wait (she was to busy taking shots btw.) We finally get our beers with a dirty look from the bartender and ask for food menus. We drink our beers and decide to leave since we never the menus. We ask for our bill wait about 10 minutes and finally ask a server what our beers cost and leave cash and walk out. The place was a third full tops and there were 6 other people sitting at the bar. I am sorry but when I go to a bar I do not need much but at least staff who provide customer service without having to be asked twice when the place is empty.

    Bar specials are just ok. We didn't try any food. Lots of hot girls. Tons of tvs with different channels. I have no problem w/scantily clad girls. But now hear this TK - if you have a drinking establishment, you need to give people a decent place to pee or they will not want to come back and drink - especially the ladies! Oh, and there's also a little thing/law about making sure your employees can wash their hands after using the bathroom to prevent e-coli and other dreaded diseases! The women's bathroom was atrocious which is totally opposite of what I would have expected. Since there are few female patrons and lots of female staff, you'd figure the restroom would be pristine - a shrine even - for the staff to primp. NOT ! The very first stall was out of toilet tissue - and they have the gianormous rolls. How is it even possible to let that run out? Anyhow, when exactly do you think I discovered this lack of tissue? Yes, you guessed it - right after I peed and was sitting there dripping and swearing like a truck driving sailor. What to do? What to do? I waited for the one other person in there to leave -- bouncing up and down a few times to get any drips to fall. Then I made a mad dash out of that stall into the next one - pants around my knees. And the second stall was gross. It had not been flushed recently but ahh, sweet relief, there was plenty of tissue. BUT then I tried to flush and nothing happened. As I left that stall, I noticed two other stalls (out of 5 or 6 total) were marked with Out of Order signs. The horror only continued once at the sink - more swearing. They were out of soap! Unbelievable! And these women are serving food and don't have soap to wash their hands after using the bathroom. BLECH! Sooooo, on my way out the door, I stopped at the hostess stand where no fewer than 5 cuties were standing around doing jack crap nothing. I told them the restroom needed serious attention and was out of soap and tp. I was temped to stick around for a bit to see if someone took care of things but I'm betting they went back to their conversation and forgot all about it. Yes, most of them were blonde.

    Meh, nothing special. Lots of tv's, but it's downtown Chicago and there are 43 other places. They do have an indoor driving range on the floor above that is awesome. They messed up our order. The french dip had maybe a 1/6 lb of meat on it. The bread was good. and the Au jus was good, but just not enough ummmph to the sandwich. Fries were fair. We did get to watch someone get towed from our window seat. Go somewhere else. And I like redheads and kilts.

  • Errol B.

    I can't speak for the food because I didn't order any when I went. I had been wanting to check this new chain out for a long time and just got around to it. They have some smokin' women working at this location. It has a great variety in ethnic and racial back rounds too. I will go back. This is a place you don't go to eat at or get good service. You just go to look at half naked women and drink beer.

  • Adalberto M.

    I wish they had one of these in Miami! Yes, it is like a Hooters, but BETTER. The food is a step up, the atmosphere is great and the uniforms are outstanding. I watched the Heat beat the Bulls (yes I was alone rooting for the Heat but I obviously survived). Great place to kick back and watch sports.

  • Callie P.

    Let me start by saying being a woman, I have really no problem with the servers wearing skimpy outfits...to me not a big deal and if you want to flaunt what your parents or sugar daddy paid for be my guest. But seriously these girls were NOT fit to be wearing the uniforms that were given. Yeah they had the chest area filled but the cellulite and stomach fat falling over the tops of their skirts was pretty disgusting. That being said, myself and 2 other girls went into Tilted Kilt on a Wednesday afternoon to have some drinks before a concert...the place was pretty much dead so we sat at the bar. Our bartender was awesome, he was friendly and knowledgeable of all of the drinks we asked him about. We didn't eat so I can't comment on the food. I probably wouldn't go back just because the drinks were extremely pricey, then again it's Chicago and EVERYTHING is pricey here. Other than that it was a good time

  • Brian F.

    I like the Tilted Kilt franchise. The restaurants are a great place to hang out with friends, have a couple of beers, and enjoy some darn good bar food. The quesadillas and the grilled chicken wings are my favorite menu items. This particular location, though, just doesn't excite me. The waitresses don't seem particularly friendly and the restaurant itself is dark and depressing. I would not go out of my way to come here.

    Been to another TK in the burbs and comparably this one was OK. Good service, food was mediocre (salty), but what can you expect for bar food? The servers were all business here too. Take your order, serve the food. Usually they would chat up the tables. Our group was there for Fantasy Football draft so maybe it wasn't the right time anyway...

    I stumbled into this place by accident while wondering downtown Chicago. I was starving and literally went into the first place I saw. The food was terrible. Typical bar food. I ordered a salad with fried chicken tenders.It was literally a plate of iceberg lettuce with a few chopped tomatoes and three pieces of chicken. I asked for a side of cheddar cheese to add some excitement to the salad, however the restaurant only had sliced cheese. The service was just okay, probably because the waitress are usually catering to men. It is a nice place to meet a man if you are single, 80% of the customers were men. I hate to give it such a bad review just because its not my style. The positives are: Nice Atmosphere for a bar with plenty TV's and spacious The actual bar food people ordered around me looked good...especially the wings. I wish I had tried the Irish Potatoes. Reasonable prices Great beer selection, lots of local beer on tap.

    Anyone who knows my wife and I in real, know we A) are flirts and B) have a bizarre sense of humor. So on the day we went to city hall to get our civil union of course we needed the perfect place to celebrate afterwards. Why not something out there and fun like the raunchy Tilted Kilt? When in Texas we frequented Hooters. Mainly for the fried pickles. And then the never well endowed waitresses would love sitting with us for some much needed relief from the cowboy testosterone. I could see the pictures to show the family now. Us with our newly printed license with a busty "Scottish" chick in between! How proud Mom and Dad would be! That's not what happened. Our waitress was not playful. Not fun. no smile even. And decided to wait and conserve that energy for the guys walking in. My wife even mentioned what we just came from doing and the girl brushed the comment aside. The food wasn't terrible though and the beers were cold. It was a bit creeper in there though. HUGE space and terribly empty for a Friday lunch time. Just a few tables and girls making sure they concentrated on them. If anything it was great people watching - the workers and the patrons. But I'll head to Hooter's next time. They know cute girls who if you flirt with them you'll get a bigger tip when they see them!

    I came here last night as the lone hen in the rooster house looking for some strange after the White Sox game. LOL. Just kidding. Seriously, I came in around 10:30 pm with six other rowdy boys who were in need of some drinks, munchies, and eye candy......and these rowdy boys wanted it all stat. One drunken boy was hitting on our server pretty bad, so she was timid from the start. The service wasn't the best, but I can't really blame her due to the aforementioned. I would have avoided the boys at our table, too. We ordered the mozzarella sticks, potato skins, and "tilted guilt." The mozzarella sticks were nice and crispy, the potato skins were damp and oily, and the cookie in the "tilted guilt" was a little too sugary but still awesome.....only wished it was bigger. I really liked all the big screen TVs and would venture back here to check out UFC or some football game. Next time, in hopes for better service, I'll leave the rowdy boys at home......

    I think I should have checked Yelp before walking into this place. Had I done that I probably wouldn't have gone in especially as a single female. I was staying in the area and just wanted a casual beer. Immediately upon walking in I noticed that it was basically ALL MEN which I thought was odd and then I saw the bartender and it all made sense. Just no. I basically chugged my beer and bounced as quickly as possible. I'm not a prude. I get what's going on, it is geared towards men. It just had a creepy vibe and I felt uncomfortable. I hope those women are handsomely paid.....

    This is my favorite sports bar in the loop. It's great place to eat and/or watch sports. I visit often and the food, service and atmosphere never disappoints. It can be a it noisy at times but it IS a sports bar so what do you expect? During one visit, we had problem with our order and the manager came over to take care of it. He was polite, professional, courteous and seemingly genuinely concerned about our needs rather than attempting to simply serve the restaurant's agenda. I know this place sometimes gets a bad wrap for the attire the women wear but I don't see anything wrong it. The women employed there have CHOSEN to work there. No one forced them.

    Sunday breakfast buffet during football season is worth the visit. The place isn't a bad place to spend time with your married friends. As all guys know, you can get married guys to go anywhere if the skirts on the waitresses are real short or the tops dip real deep. However, if you are planning on going somewhere and you don't need to entice the married men to come out from under their rocks, you can do better

  • Patrick L.

    Good food, big place, seemed clean and good prices. The staff was polite, quick & attentive. There are also plenty of TV's to watch whatever game is on so no matter where you sit you've got a view! My only complaint would be that the TV volume seemed a little loud. Even trying to communicate with people at our table was a bit if a challenge but nothing horrible.

    If you're in the city with a million amazing places to eat, but just can't stop your craving for gross, probably microwaved, surely poor food quality suburban chain restaurant options, this is it. At least Hooters has good wings. But I guess this place has more objectified women, so that's a plus, right? Sorry guys, I'm sure there's a group of people who enjoy this place but we only went with a gift card and would only return if we had one again...or maybe would give it to someone else.

    Tilted Kilt is just another Hooter's but on the pricier end of the spectrum. A few of us work down the street from TK and decided to meet up for their Monday $5 lunch menu. Our first lunch gathering was late June. We ordered classic big arse burger, grilled ham and cheese, and two orders of grilled chicken club. Each sandwich was $5 and we added a side of fries for $1 each. The portions were huge and we were attacked with food coma the moment we returned to our offices. Our second visit was mid-July and we noticed the portions shrunk a bit. We ordered two orders of each: French fries, grilled ham and cheese, and chicken club. It definitely wasn't as filling as our first trip but it was enough to satisfy our appetite. At least, we were able to stay awake after lunch and didn't fall asleep on our keyboards. In conclusion, the sandwiches were very typical. There was nothing particular especially since most of the spotlight is placed on mini plaid skirts and white blouses. And of course, we took pictures with the waitresses! Both visits were a Monday afternoon around 1pm. The place was barren with just a few tables yet they would always move at turtle speed with bringing the food and bill. They need to quicken their pace!

    Always a sucker for a good deal, the $4 Bud Lights make it worth a visit. It's a bit strange to take an escalator up into what looks like an office building, but once you get up it feels more like a bar. Pub may be a stretch to describe Tilted Kilt, and while the girls wearing short kilts an half shirts all in plaid are meant to make it feel more like an Irish spot, it resembles closer to a Hooters to me. Lots of TVs though, with a projection screen, making for easy sports watching. And, they are one of the few bars in the area that show the UFC.

  • Selena L.

    Typical bar food. We got the medium spicy wings and clams. The wings were definitely better than the clams, but that was to be expected. Outdoor seating is cool if you don't mind the trains overhead. Waitress was attentive and came down to check on us often.

  • Mike M.

    The food here is absolutely awful. Been twice, just in case. Burgers are hockey pucks. Hardest, dryest, most over cooked burgers I've ever seen attempted to be served. Arnold Palmer was basically just tea. Bar area ok, a couple pool tables and a dart board. Somewhat scantily clad waitresses isn't a huge draw.

  • Todd S.

    Went here for the first time today. Nice place, likeable décor and pretty girls. Service was a little slow considering the place was dead and I only ordered the pretzels and an Iced Tea. A few observations: There is very little signage on the street so its difficult to find the building its in. (its on the 2nd floor of a retail building which houses jewelers). The place could use a little more lighting, it was too dark in there!!!. I had the Bavarian pretzels which were really good, HOT AND FRESH. Their iced tea is good, too. I'll go back and try the food soon!!

    So there is pretty much only one reason to come here. The garlic fries! HA! What did you think I was going to say? Kidding, there are plenty of reasons as to why I am a fan. Let me count the ways: 1. Large space with lots of room. It seems this place is never really packed, even during March Madness there was plenty of room at the bar. 2. Location. While there are lots of options in the loop area, this lacks the high price and the low dive-ness. I do love both the high class bars and the dive bars but each has their time and place. This is a great middle of the road option in the loop. 3. The food is actually pretty good. I find that most of the time where servers tend to draw more attraction than the food (*cough hooters cough*), the food tends to be lack luster. Seriously, even though I've only been here a couple of times, everything I've had has been great. The garlic fries are a great choice. The black bean wrap is fantastic (basically the only vegetarian option though). 4. Plenty of televisions. I came here during the first weekend of March Madness. I sat at the bar and was able to see all if not most of the games with a quick head turn. Can't wait for football Sunday and I'm hoping they will at least put on a couple of Cardinal games for me. 5. Friendly staff. Hey come on, they are here for tips and tend to be "overly" friendly. Which is great at a bar right? 6. Free wifi. It is funny how this is becoming a staple in whether or not I stick around your bar. I tend to work a lot in remote locations with a beer in hand. So if I can log in and order a pint, then I'm sticking around. 7. Lucky number seven, lets just say there is plenty to look at (get your head out of the gutter). I would, however, like to point out one down thing about this place. I really don't like places that have bathroom attendants. I understand they are there to make sure the bathroom is tidy at all times. I understand that it could be more so to "upscale" the place. But seriously, this is a chain restaurant not a high class location. I don't like the fact that I get "pressured" into tipping the bathroom attendant every time I want to wash my hands. I can grab my own soup, wave my own hand in front of the automatic towel dispenser, and turn on and off my water myself. I've been doing it now for about 36 years.

    It's a sports bar with barely dressed women waiting on you. They have a full bar with plenty of beer on tap. TVs everywhere and a couple pool tables. Waitress are usually friendly unless it's crowded then service slows down substantially. It's food is ok, the stew is the best thing on the menu. It's a good place to watch a game better place to watch desperate men strike out with waitresses. The decor is a pretty standard attempt at an irish pub.

    The service was ok, the store manager walked the perimeter if the restaurant, never asking customers how things are but had fun with the girls and his phone. The fish was good and the beer was good and cold. But a poor atmosphere, no reason for it.

    We came here kind of knowing what Tilted Kilt was about... and we only came for beverages. The space they have on the second floor is large; when we arrived (on a Wednesday evening) it was pretty dead. There were several people at the bar and a couple tables around the bar but that was it. Our service was awesome, as there were a couple bartenders and a barback working and so few customers. Luckily, a Bulls game had just ended and our bartender let us piggy back on to the specials they offer during games. We had 2 beers each - and they were reasonably priced especially for downtown Chicago. Yes, it is chauvinistic. The girls working hopefully realize they are being oogled by everyone, since there is not much left to the imagination. I do wish, however, that these girls would wear properly fitting bras and skirts. The few waitress/bartenders I did see all needed some tweaking with the outfits... A too small bra leads to the dreaded double boob, which is not attractive, and creates really bad lines under those white tops and may make it look like one has "back fat." And a too small skirt digs into the sides, making these thin girls look like they have love handles when they do not. I have nearly 7 yrs experience working part-time in a fashion retail store so I do have the authority to post this! Lol Maybe I would come back for food if I'm visiting the area - I would be more drawn to trying food if they are having a special. But at least I can say I've now been to a Tilted Kilt... and it was kind of "meh." Note: Not a "family friendly" environment. I would not recommend bringing children.

  • William B.

    I went back and forth with two or three stars. I settled with three since the food is good and it's the only sports bar in loop that plays UFC fights and is ever open on weekends. Service is bad. Takes forever to greet you and I only sit at the bar. Once they do they are always nice though. Its hit and miss with the crowd. It's not set up as well as the other tilted kilts I've been too but I keep coming back for the fights so it's not too bad.

  • Victor L.

    I completely see why nobody comes here for the food. Lol... Aside from the obvious the food is not that bad, but for what is worth, it's pricey. The mix drinks are kind of weak' but the Black & Blue (guinness & blue moon) is good. Awesome sports scene, great service, and the cleavage is complimentary!!! Its the ideal place to chill with da boiz. ; )

    First time ever at Tilted Kilt for lunch with a coworker today. The restaurant was comfortable and the staff were all friendly and beautiful. Miranda was fun. She took time for playful banter and done jokes. They don't take themselves too seriously and make it a fun environment. Regardless of kilts or khaki pants, they were professional, friendly, and ultimately served good, reasonably priced food. Thank you Miranda!

    I don't have a whole lot to say about this place. They've got a big space on the second floor of a building in the loop. Decent place to get a drink. Food is typical bar food. I got the fish & chips, which were satisfactory. I mean it's hard to go wrong with deep fried. It's probably an okay place to watch a game, though I'd say the TVs seem small to me. Maybe I wasn't in the right section. The review wouldn't be complete without mentioning the waitress uniforms. If you don't know what I'm talking about, google it, or be surprised. I was with a friend here on a Friday night and we ended up staying until last call, mostly because we were too lazy to find another place to drink. Definitely dead around then, and you'll probably want to Uber a cab b/c there won't be many driving by at that hour. It's a chain so whatever your personal feelings on chains are, it will probably validate them.

  • Jim H.

    When I walk into a place that has restaurant seating as well as bar seating I expect tables placed behind the bar to be in the bar. Not so here so we got no service. This is a horrible policy when that flour tyke changes after the dividing wall by the bar maybe you should consider that the bar!

  • Joe C.

    Waitress was awesome, but food was horrible, drinks were over priced. No cute girls, paid for valet to check out, and was disappointed. Waitresses were rude, and it was a sausage fest in there. I wish I didn't drop $120 in this place. Tilted Kilt, get new management,

  • Earl G.

    It's like as if Hooters turned into a divey dreary sports bar but instead of the girls dressing in orange shorts, they dressed like this. ( yelp.com/biz_photos/dVU0… ) Pretty big and roomy inside - so good for groups. ( yelp.com/biz_photos/dVU0… ) Surprisingly they don't do pitchers only buckets. 5 bottles of beers in a bucket of ice for $20 - MGD, Bud light, Coors light, and Old style - The Old style tasted like watered down PBR. ( yelp.com/biz_photos/dVU0… ) Simple and pretty mellow hangout to watch the game or play pool. The entrance from the street is sort of hidden, you have to go up an escalator to get here. ( yelp.com/biz_photos/dVU0… ) It's just ok

  • Carry L.

    The food is good depending upon what is ordered. The location sucks, so does parking. Along side that it's apparent that management does not care too much for the girls appearance. Sometimes their nails aren't done, hair/makeup aren't up to par. They should offer tanning and gym memberships to the girls. The girls wear little to nothing of clothing while they aren't toned in the stomach. They look like a horrible Irish hooters. They also need new management, the woman has a horrible attitude problem

  • Greg J.

    Thank god the food was great. I had the Shepherds pie and enjoyed it. Beer selection was of but a little slim for Chicago. The service was a total failure. Waited 15 min as waiter and waitress stood right in front of me. Waitress looked like a prostitute and apparently thought repeatedly bending over in front of me was going to help. Most of the waitresses looked this way and had the same bad attitude. Customer service is NOT a priority here. I guess if you are looking for skanky women in plaid skirts, you may enjoy this place.

    After the host at Miller's Pub down the street told us he wouldn't show the USA women's national team soccer game due to college football, he suggested this place. It should be noted Titled Kilt is upstairs, after you go up the small escalator. At first I was a bit perturbed by the scantily clothed women (not knowing what to expect), but I got over it as soon as the hostess said they'd show the soccer game. The business actually ended up putting the game on two televisions, which we were pleased to see. We only had drinks, but the waitress was extremely good. She came around every 15-20 minutes or so to check on us. Three of us had bottled drinks, so that's hard to mess up, but a friend ordered a hot coffee with kahlua. Instead of arriving in a typical coffee mug, the drinkware was more like a goblet. My friend said it was delicious. With being so accommodating after another bar denied us and having excellent service, I have to give this bar four stars. As a result, we've already started telling people about this place, since we tend to hang out with the soccer crowd. Thanks Tilted Kilt!

    I guess this place was pretty normal when it comes to drink and food selection and the service, and my Guinness was fine, but honestly I cannot remember much beyond the cleavage. It's a serious distraction. I couldn't stop watching the men talk to boobs and get all red-faced every time the bartenders or waitresses would serve them. I knew what I was in for coming here and it's not my thing, but my tourist male companions wanted to check it out, so I relented. First and last time.

  • Kyle D.

    If you're going here, chances are you know what you're getting into. Sexy girls, average-below average food, and drinks. Lots of TVs and music. Honestly the service wasn't even that good, the food took awhile to get, and it didn't taste that great. The TVs were nice for the game that was on but the rest of the factors don't make for a great experience. The prices are okay, but the drink selection is fantastic. That might be the saving grace. You know what you're getting when you walk in. Service: 5/10 Atmosphere: 5/10 Food: 4/10

    You can never go wrong with an Irish pub. Cool Chicago sports ambiance. Excellent fried food. Good beer choices. Couldn't care less how the waitresses dressed. The creepy part was seeing them sit down and talk it up with the old men eating during a slow lunch hour.

  • Mironda R.

    A friend and I were roaming the streets and had to make a quick exec decision. He says to me we can go here or there (pointing at Tilted Kilt). He says this place is like a Hooters, but sorta gone wrong. I'm like ehh, I can watch the game so let's see what's what. As he promised, it was little girls walking around in said attire. I questioned their legality, but I digress and it was the least of my worries. We went in and decided to sit in an area between the bar and the dining area. Service was non-existent, then slow, but once we got started it was consistent. Ordered the salsa and chips.. had to doctor that up with some Tabasco and salt.. Then we opted for the wings and fries (doubled the order for only $6 bucks more). I forgot to tell her to fry the wings a little harder. Slimy wings are the worst. To my surprise, the wings were fried to PERFECTION and the fries were also crisp and fresh. Now the beer was a bit pricey but maybe its the location. I find $7 draft for Blue Moon a bit high and my friend ordered a bottle import that was about the same as well. I'd go back for the wings, but manage your expectations upon arrival!

  • Israel H.

    The ambience here is OK if you come with a few co-workers.. The food is also only OK.. I have been here a few times.. There are nice big TV screens and pool tables. The service is really hit or miss depending on the waitress or bartender.

  • Sean H.

    It's basically a Hooters, but Scottish themed. Seated near the window at a table top, that had a cool overlook to the street below. Drinks were fine, decent specials around games/events usually, and pretty decent crowd around us. The food was what brings this place down a bit though... Got the Southwest wrap and garlic fries, and let's just say I did not finish them. Garlic fries are basically fries that have garlicy oil just dumped on them, and were just gross/soggy. The Wrap has little flavor, and just had a ton of juice running out of it the whole time. Stick to the more regualr bar items (burger/sandwiches/wings) and you should have a good time between the Beer, Servers and TVs.

  • Kevin O.

    I have been here a couple times before with my father and it's a decent place. There is NO complaint about the service, the waitresses are superb. With the food it's simply bar food like burgers and wings, they do have other options but those aren't as good because when your in a bar you might as well order that type of food since that is what they know how to make and it is what they make best. Though if it's beverages you are seeking then you have came to the right place with a fairly large amount beer on tap that you can never go wrong. For any sports fans they have a good amount of tv's and project screens for the latest sporting event or whatever is playing that night. So come here if your looking for a nice relaxing place to take a lunch/dinner break to slow down or catch a game with other fans.

    I've been here a couple times now for lunch, drinks after work, and a late night dinner. This Tilted Kilt is pretty much exactly what you would expect it to be. The food (mainly bar food) is solid. I like the wings, chicken tenders, garlic fries, etc... nothing will blow you away, but nothing will disappoint. I usually order whatever beer is on special and stick to it, which usually isn't a bad deal in the loop either. Obviously you come to Tilted Kilt expecting to be waited on by attractive women who aren't wearing much, which is cool... I'm on-board with that being a nice perk. But what I do think is kinda weird, is that there's a bunch of guys coming around cleaning off plates and wiping down your table, but I can't actually order a drink from that guy... I have to wait until the hopeless, married, businessman at the next table is done hitting on my waitress before I can get a refill on my beer. Why can't the guy washing my table and plates just fill it up? I'm quite sure it'll still be tasty...

    Wandered in off the street after receiving a call from the child who borrowed my van to let me know "It caught on fire, I don't know how it happened, and the fire department says it's probably totaled!" So......I needed a beer. Ordered the beer of the month, a Newcastle Werewolf. It was cold. Had some cheese beer soup. It was alright, but have had better. Menu was bar food. It is a really big sports bar with some cool video machines around the building and I like that the tables are not on top of each other. I sat by the window and watched the people, and trains going by on Wabash....it was mid-afternoon. They have a really large bar, a lot on tap, and an enormous wide open dining area with tons of tv's. Enjoyed watching the guys at the bar ogling the little waitresses in their tiny scottish kilts and cropped white tops. It is Hooters, if Hooters girls were 6th graders with boobs and wearing cooter-kilts. Everyone was friendly though, and it is a convenient loop location near Clark/Lake to grab a beer.

    Went there with a girlfriend to grab a beer and food before a concert and was one of the only places around where we could get a beer. So I've eaten at hooters but this was like eating at a strip club... bunch of creepy dudes staring at half clothed girls. Whatever, if that's what you're there for that's fine (super lame in my opinion but hey who am I to judge) but the food was over priced and not good at all. Left $20 lighter after a beer and a half salad, was still hungry and felt a little disturbed.

    Good bar food. The group I was with did about 8 apps. Trying different things. Nothing was amazing, most were good to very good. Better than any Hooters I've been to. If I had children, I might not take them there. Kind of close to a fetish style place to eat. If you are a single male, or married and away on business, you will thank me later. Servers were top notch. Will go back again.

    Have not eaten here for lunch or dinner, only parties. We have had two events here for Christmas Parties. We worked with Mike both times. He was vrey helpful. He worked with us on the set-up and food choices. He was able to get us everythign we needed within our budget. We had an appetizer buffet for 25. The buffet was set up nicely for our group so that it was semi-private. I only gave two stars because the food is not that great. Typical bar food, nothing special. I have eaten in Tilted Kilts in the Burbs and the food has always been much better.

  • F O.

    I'm not confused about myself so I don't try to hit on the cute waitresses like the younger guys do. I don't even really need the small amount of fake flirting that sort of comes with the job. I do need food that doesn't suck and just the smallest bit of courtesy from a waitress. I didn't get either one of those here. I like to go to Hooters. The waitresses are always nice and I think the food is really good. The Tilted Kilt doesn't have good food. I've been there twice to watch football and UFC and both times my food was just bad. Once my burger was cold like they were waiting for the fries because the fries were really hot. There's lots of TVs but the don't sell pitchers of draft beer. It's just too expensive to have rude waitresses and bad food. I'm giving it an extra star for good TVs and UFC fights but I'd give them one and a half stars if I could.

    This was my second visit to the Kilt - similar to many gals, I have been coerced into going by my guy friends. The catalyst for this visit was a rainstorm deluge and proximity. We were happy to be inside. It's fine for me - they have beer and the food is OK. It's fantastic for guys, though. I prefer this one to Hooters!

    I've actually never even heard of a Tilted Kilt until I was asked to deal for a third-party charity poker game at this establishment. There is an escalator when you enter, that takes you up to the restaurant (kinda cool at first, but kinda annoying if you have to use it multiple times throughout the day). This is actually a really nice place to host poker games, they fit nearly 8 or 10 poker tables throughout the area, and there was still some decent space for patrons and wait staff to get by. Not gonna lie, the main reason me, or any guy really, would like this place is because the wait staff is attractive (college girls, short KILTS, and tight white tops), although over the years they've been looking worse. Their wings are good, as well as their fries, good bar food (don't really think much of their burgers). Service lags during busy hours, but they're on the ball for the most part. There are PLENTY of tv's so you'll be able to watch a game from almost every angle. Clean washrooms.

    As you probably know you have to go up to the second floor to get to the restaurant - no big deal. As a matter of fact, if you get a table near the windows it's a nice view of the L...that is if you are into trains. The interior of the restaurant is well kept with a pool table and darts if you want to "hang out" for a bit...flat screens everywhere as well. The restrooms were clean. They have plenty of selections for alcohol and the food is ok but not great. I had the grilled wings with a side of veggies, not too bad but nothing to tell your buddies about. Now...if you are going to a Tilted Kilt for the employees - go to another Tilted Kilt.

    I came yesterday night with my brother to watch TNFootball. Great number of tv's and big screen with audio also. Sat in the bar.

    Double cougar sighting!! When: Sunday 11/8/09 Time: Approx 5pm Last seen wearing matching Bears shirts, lots of obnoxious make up, and tight jeans. The cougars, thought to be in their mid 40's, were armed with vodka cranberry drinks and their Blackberries. One cougar was simultaneously flirting with 2 married men, while the other was juggling 3-4+ men, including a Vegas lounge singer, a man who worked at the Tilted Kilt, a random guy who approached the bar to order another drink.... you get the idea. In addition to the entertaining cougars, I can recall seeing unbelievable amounts of boobs and pierced navels. This place is ridiculous. I felt like I was at North Ave. beach with the scantily clad girls, fake tans, beer, and testosterone. However, if you want to be a cool girlfriend/wife go with your main squeeze and let them gawk at boobies. I found it entertaining at the very least. PS: Be careful--cougars pounce!

    I ordered my food through Grubhub last night and when the driver arrived to my building to drop off the food, he didn't have an ID so I had to go downstairs and meet him at the front desk. Prior to meeting him at the font desk, it took him about 10 minutes between my building calling me and getting my approval to let him in and him checking in to figure out that he didn't have his ID. By the time I got my food upstairs and was able to eat it, it was room temperature and soggy. I ordered the chicken tenders which were incredibly chewy, thin and so gross that I couldn't finish them. Dinner was a huge disappointment. They're really going downhill.

  • Terri V.

    Soooooo...I will start of by saying the bar/restaurant itself is easy to park at (if you are there at the right time, and you don't get a ticket for no reason!) Also it is huge! However...Ladies (don't know about men's) Bathroom...DISGUSTING!!!! Auto flush toilets that weren't flushed, tampons and feces in them. (yes some women are gross) and on the seat itself! Also FYI this is not the first time I have seen this type of presentation in the bathroom at this facility. Also nice to see a waitress walk out of a stall and back out to the bar with out washing hands...thanks! Service is horrible typically-I did have a bartender that wasn't so horrible. She was grumpy, but apologized for it and I didn't have to wait long. Friends had to wait 20 or more minutes for drinks, and to try and pay! Several of the servers had "boyfriends" that they kept hanging out with...if you are cut from service, go change so people don't think you are simply blowing them off, but some were not yet cut, as they still had open tables. What I remember from my first visit was the food wasn't bad. However in the middle of the day during a Cubs game, when they weren't too busy, we were placed in a far corner and could barely see the TVs. Please don't assume women want to not be in the middle of TVs watching sporting events. I don't mind the attire. Hey its a uniform and the choice is made to wear these outfits when you accept employment. I would be happy to rock an outfit like this on Halloween, and I don't feel threatened by one wearing this in general to work if that is what they want. Also folks that criticize the uniform, typically know what they will see when they go in. Come on its the LOGO! The plus side is the concept of having live music. This may or may not be a lucrative draw for the venue, but it is nice to have and if the other stuff can be tweaked to make it more enjoyable, I would invite more friends to come with to see good music! So clean your bathrooms, keep up with it, have a staff meeting and hire people that know how to serve clientele in this manner, fast! Especially during lunch folks don't want to be late to work. I will be happy to adjust my review if I visit again. But I am now 5 for 5 on most of these points.

    Oh, Tilted Kilt, why must you have so much boobage & bodonkadonk runnin around? Wait, I know why. All that boobage & bodonkadonk is there to distract me from all the not-so-yummy food that you have to offer. I tried the Irish nachos, which were kinda blah. Not much flavor there. One of my buddies had a burger, and it was dry. Who has two thumbs and hates dry burgers that lack flavor? THIS GUY The service was great... and nice to look at. Our server would bring us beer after beer and chit chat with us to help us forget the less than stellar food at our table. Now, that's what I call customer service! LOL Anyway, I wouldn't go out of my way to hit up Tilted Kilt. The food is meh, but there are plenty of drink specials, plenty screens to watch sports on, and enough boobage and bodonkadonk runnin around to give you T&A ADHD. 2 stars: 1 star for great service and another star for the boobage and bodonkadonk attached to the great service. Holla!!!â„¢

    TOTALLY offended by the chauvinism!!!! If you have an ounce of feminism in your body, you'll hate this restaurant. The men's bathroom has a BATHROOM ATTENDANT and the women's is clearly second-class. The food is shitty and overpriced. I told the host I'd never be back.

    After a quick stroll down to the ice skating rink, I needed to find some place to eat quick. Pulled out my trusty Yelp App and it brought me to Tilted Kilt. When I walked in and saw the hostesses, I thought to myself "What have we gotten ourselves into?" Tilted Kilt is like Hooter's raunchy younger sister. The bartender had the largest most distracting breasts I've ever seen. I mean...wow. Umm..anyway (flashback) lol So our server was nice but seemed a little out of it...not an airhead...hmm...hesitant. Yes that's it. She may have been new. She was really cute and friendly though. Food was less than medicocre. I got a turkey burger that came out on a bun. No lettuce, tomatoes, pickles...nothing. Burger and Bun. It was truly the most boring and uninteresting thing I've ever eaten. The only good thing about the food was that it came out fast. The drinks...well they were weak. I mean the liquor was nonexistent. My date ordered a long island and it was weak. I mean how is that even possible? Overall, this place looks good. The girls look good, lots of TV's nice ambiance but the food and drinks were soooo bad/subpar. It makes it not worth it. I'd rather go to the stripclub if all I'm gonna do it stare at boobs.

    A few or three years ago I got one of those J. Crew catalogs in the mail that had an entirely Scottish theme from cover to cover. The photos were all shot on the Isle of Skye. And the models were all totally gorgeous redheads or brunettes with either freckles or rosy cheeks. Oh, if only I could have heard their accents. So when I got word that some of the guys were going to watch some MMA/UFC at Tilted Kilt, I started dreaming of these women, their accents and Francis Begbie. Pause. Francis Begbie. When I opened my eyes, I realized none of my dream was going to come true. First of all, Tilted Kilt is not a Scottish pub at all. It's a sports bar with a faux Irish pub theme. I deduced this from the faux decor, the pithy Irish tenets printed on the walls, the two small Irish flags on the mantle and the ubiquitous flat screens. Tilted Kilt is an insult to real Irish pubs like Celtic Crossings. As for the beautiful Scottish women with unintelligible accents I expected to be serving me, well that obviously never happened. Fey, fey, fey!! I saw one redhead who could have passed for Scottish. Basically what Tilted Kilt is is Hooters with a twist or, should I say, a tilt. I'm only assuming this, as I've never been to a Hooters. The only differences would seem to be the attire of the servers and the faux Irish pub theme of the Kilt. Do guys really patronize these places just to look at T&A? I will give the Kilt that they have plenty of televisions for viewing sports and that their food was decent and came out very quickly. As for the rest, you need not bother with it. It's totally ersatz. Even the name "Tilted Kilt" is fake. The servers wear mini skirts - not kilts! If you want to watch sports, grab some pub grub and hang out with a clientele that is 95% guys, then this is your place. Just keep your expectations down somewhere near the deck, and you'll be alright. Oh, and there was no Francis Begbie either. But there was a table full of Russian mob toughs right next to us. They couldn't even get that right. Close but no cigar. Two stars.

    One of my friends and I are obsessed with anything that has an associated theme. Needless to say, we were pretty pumped about our weeknight dinner on a rainy summer day. In my opinion, Hooters has the Tilted Kilt beat in food, drink, and atmosphere. When my friend and I went, the place was basically empty except for a few businessmen having an after-work bite. I enjoyed my Bloody Mary, but I have had better ones on campus at U of I (considering campus bars don't get too fancy with their drinks, that's saying a lot). My wings were terrible. I left the majority of them, which I never do with my hot wings, unless I have the plague or something comparable. On the upside, my friend and I loved the sexy little outfits. They could probably make more money selling the getup to cougars for personal use than they would dishing out their less-than-mediocre wings.

    The best review for this establishment would have to be the one by Nishan P. But, since you're looking at this one: I like the decor... and the rest of the scenery isn't bad, either. The prices aren't terrible. I'd like to see them a bit lower, but they are in the loop, so I guess the lease ain't going to pay itself. If you stick to the specials, however, then you should be able to get away without getting slammed by a huge tab. The drink selection is also better than I thought they'd have. Also, the waitresses were far more attractive than I thought they'd be. I'm just saying this because when this is the obvious gimmick they are using, then it is sad when they fall flat on the presentation. Too many times have I gone to a Hooters or something similar and though to myself, "Is this B-squad day?" So, congrats to TK's mgmt on that aspect. So, if you're in the loop, like beer, and like waitressed that wear small outfits, then stop on by.

    This is a great place to hang out. The bar and the actual restaurant are huge for a down town space. The servers and the bar tender were fabulous. They made the night more enjoyable. I wanted to eat but I wasn't going to be the only one so I will have to save it for another day.

    Surprise surprise, a guy reviewing a bar with scantily clad women. While its easy to dismiss this place as a wanna be hooters, I think it beats that "Delightfully tacky, yet unrefined" establishment in every way. At the beginning, the Kilt was slow, unorganized, and only good if you were desperate to see some skin. However, now the food comes out quickly and the waitresses no longer stop by and "chat" with you. This isn't a strip club, so don't try to be my friend for tips. I'm glad that changed. Its funny that this place clings to its Irish or Scottish roots, because the place reeks of Americana. In between old world maps and classic pub signs, you'll see posters of american movies and advertisements for Budweiser bucket specials. They do have good beers on tap though. Try the Goose Island Green Line. All of the negatives aside, the Kilt is a great lunch spot. You can get all your favorite bar food with some good specials too. I've had grilled chicken with veggies that were both moist and flavorful. Also, their french dip sandwich is one of the best I've had in the city. Try it with provolone instead of the swiss.

    This place is huge and with so many screens around. It is a good place to catch with friends after office hours. Nice place to watch NBA or soccer match. When I think of hooters and tilted kilt, I would say Hooters is never so spacious. Now coming to the food, classic nachos portion was big but wasn't that great. I would say Grilled Chicken Sandwich was good.

    If you like the idea of exploiting both women and Celtic culture, boy have I got a restaurant for you. I don't doubt that as a successful chain restaurant, they offer some tasty things on their menu. For me, that wasn't the point. I went in just to see how bad it was, and boy, was it bad. (Full disclosure: I didn't order anything.) The many comparisons on here to Hooters are appropriate; the servers are all scantily-clad young women. They wear very short plaid skirts (and for those wondering, these are not kilts; I own a kilt and can discuss the finer points of kilts versus skirts if you're really interested) and their shirts, such as they are, show a lot of the servers' breasts. We're talking a LOT of skin. I like T&A as much as the next guy, but I feel that in a restaurant, it's completely inappropriate. Essentially, the Tilted Kilt is just a giant co-opting of a few cutesy aspects of Celtic culture (and I'm sure the jerks behind it would pronounce it "seltic," not "keltic"). As I indicated, I didn't try the food, and I'm sure it's just fine. That's not the point. The point is this place makes my skin crawl. Plus, with so many unique Chicago options, why would you go to a chain restaurant?

    Good food, this place is a wannabe hooters. Great atmosphere, cute, read not hot girls, and a wonderful beer selection. Made a great place for Lunch after a bachelor party. First 20.00 Lunch in Chicago, kinda shocked, but hey it's next to the park and it was cool, parking, was 48.00 for 1 hour. Not cool. Don't park anywhere near here. take a taxi, use the el, but seriously don't park close by. In general it is an enjoyable place. but for the size is has shockingly small bathrooms, so pace yourself, if you drink to much you may be standing a line to go to the bathroom. This happened twice in the hour I was there.

    3 1/2 stars When on a trip with several gentlemen (your boys) this is a decent spot to hit up to throw back a few beers and place some pool. they got tvs everywhere even a full size projector when we got there the full size projector was playing some UFC classics. beers standard, the venue is fairly large. This place reminds me a bit of Hooters with a mix of Bubba Gumps beers come in a iced can anywhere from 8-12 fit. The waitresses wear kilts hence the name tilted kilt, almost all the waitresses that helped us out were friendly all smiles, A good spot to visit I guess when your in the area recommended by one of our friends to come by since he was a regular, I would not mind coming back to this establishment to watch a game or just throwing one back and playing some pool, oh they waitresses are not so bad either haha food - =( did not try beverages **** coold brews in bottle or on tap service **** friendly smiles, tilted kilts haha ambiance *** very large venue random hole in the wall from the outside looks like a regular business inside feels of Bubba Gumps / Hooters haha

    McHooters. The owl has swapped his feathers for a meagre swatch of plaid. Three girls worn out from shopping (oh, the life!) and in need of sustenance (read: beer) head into Tilted Kilt. We were greeted by a very enthusiastic (and remarkably buxom) hostess. As she led us to our table, I struggled to keep my eyes on her face and clear of the gravitational pull of her plaid bra. She whispered conspiratorially that our small group was "in luck" as there were "plenty of guys to choose from" that evening. Hmmm, yeah. I'd like to meet the girl self-confident enough to approach a guy in an establishment where the servers are dressed like sex-on-legs. Seated, we order beers and food. The beer list is nothing extraordinary, but they did have a $2 special for Miller Lite (or perhaps it was Bud Light...?). Our nachos arrive fairly quickly and, damn! - they are huge. The plate is covered in a mountain of chips. Seriously, I'm going to need a Sherpa to get to the top of this thing (which is a touch unfortunate as that is where all the cheese, olives, beans, and other goodies are. Alas). A wee second later, our entrees arrive. Despite the fact that we are all still staring in awe at Mt. Nacho, the perky, plaid-clad server asks where she can put our meals. Um, back under the heat lamp? We'd like to do the appetizer first, if that's OK... Our meals - redelivered ten minutes later - were decent. It is pub-food, after all. My friend's steak salad seemed to be covered in bacon rather than steak, causing me to remark that perhaps it was "steak-on" (a comment I deemed so witty I had to repeat it here. I crack myself up).

    As far as Kilt's go, this location is sub-par. It's a little hard to find, as it's located on the 2nd floor. The interior is like a typical Kilt, tons of TVs everywhere. They were showing the UFC PPV and were not charging a cover, so I was expecting to find a place to spot up and watch. To my surprise, the place was half empty! So we were able to get a table right away. Our server was friendly and attentive, but the bar service was slow. Our server apologized for not having our drinks right away. Being to a few other locations, I was expecting to find a higher caliber of waitstaff. One would think they would have their top girls working Sat night, not ones that need to hit the treadmill. It's sad when the suburban locations have betting looking girls. No food this time, but the drinks were ok. Hard to screw up beer for the most part. But slow service when half empty is hard to ignore. Would I return? Not likely with other options out there, but there are worse options for sure. At least I can say I've been to this location.

  • Joseph D.

    There is absolutely nothing impressive about this place except for the waitstaff. The restaurant/bar gets one star for pretty waitstaff. However, as a restaurant, the food is basically bad bar/pub food. As a bar, it's nothing special, maybe a decent place to watch a football or baseball game. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprise if this place goes under. Then again, I said the same thing about Hooters so this place might just be one successful franchise!!!!

    Clearly, I don't come here to "MacHooters" for the authentic Scottish food, or are they going for an Irish theme with kilts? The girls managed to figure out what a "Macallans neat" looks like, and it went well with warm potato soup. Lovely service, great break with the lunch lasses.

    Have warmed up to this more and more, and is now my favorite spot in Chicago for some pints. Prices are OK for the area, seems to attract a friendly crowd, and the gals working there are certainly soothing on the eyes. Food I've tried is OK too.

    i had only heard wonderful things about this place - and was extremely disappointed. The food was not good at all. I ordered a quesadilla while my boyfriend and his friends ordered various burgers and sandwiches. My quesadilla was cold, small, and not even that great, along with all the guys' food. Our server left us with empty drinks for AT LEAST thirty minutes and took twenty minutes to replace them after finally approaching us. We then proceeded to wait for a slice of cheesecake (ordered with more drinks) for fourty five more minutes! If we weren't watching the UFC fights, we would've left. The service was awful! Seriously. The worst I have ever experienced. Not to mention, some of those girls should not be wearing those uniforms. Just avoid this place at all costs, so not worth it!

    BACKGROUND: So one Friday, I'm waiting for my bf to get out of work. I work outside the loop, so I head in to grab a drink somewhere and maybe take in a bit of my new Kindle, completely forgetting that it's A) Friday and B) Chicago is home to many boozehounds. Every bar I came upon was completely packed, no seats at the bar ANYWHERE. I should know better.... So while on Wabash I see a sign for this bar called "TIlted Kilt" but I can't see in the bar because it's on the 2nd floor. I take the escalator up and a Britney Spears "hit me baby one more time" outfit smacks me in the face. If it wasn't 10 degrees outside, I would have RAN in the other direction. One seat at the bar was open however, so I sat my butt down and ordered a drink from a DD bartender with a B bra on. Come on now, treat the ladies with more respect than by cramming them into too small plaid bras.... One star goes to the bartender - she was real nice and very attentive. As a former server/bartender, I can completely appreciate that. The other star goes to the people watching. This place was a social experiement gone terribly wrong (or perfectly as planned) depending on what you're looking for. Groups of 5-6 men everywhere. Every 3-4th group had one DRUNK DRUNK DRUNK woman vying for the attention of any man who would listen to her. It was ridiculous.

  • Sandra Z.

    My husband and I were visiting Chicago with another couple, and saw the sign for the Tilted Kilt. We assumed it was just a regular Irish or Scottish pub. Well, it is.... sort of. It's the TGI Friday's and Hooter's versions of a Scottish pub. So, if you're into a place with a bunch of pub food on the menu, lots of flair on the walls, and waitresses in midriff-revealing tops and short kilts, this is the place for you. I would also like to point out that my friend Jennifer and I were the only two females in an entire dining section. Nevertheless, the food was decent and we had a nice time. I'd go back, but not with my parents or with kids. I guess I would only go back if that's where your birthday party was being held -- know what I mean?

  • Mike S.

    You definitely come here for the view - not the food or drinks. Sat down and had a mixed drink but the pour was extremely light. All you could see in the glass was the mixer (clear) with very little liquor in it. It also wasn't shaken / mixed. The service was decent. They don't really "pretend" to talk to you like at Hooters. Everyone knows it's so fake but it's still nice. Food was sub-par. I had chicken quesodillas and the chicken tasted like it was cooked 2 hours earlier, the shell was a little like day old bread although I will say it came out fast (prob because they didn't have to cook it).

  • Kiran H.

    Tilted Kilt isn't much of an Irish pub, despite it's colorful menu item names. But that wasn't really an issue for me. If you want a more Irishy pub, try Vaughans or The Lodge. The hostess was sweet. She gave me and my boyfriend a sweet smile as she adjusted her enormous breasts. Moving on... We were lucky enough to be seated right by the window. The view isn't spectacular, although we did have a good time making fun of the people trying, and failing, to parallel park. We both ordered the California Burger, which was extremely bland. It tasted like...nothing. And for some reason my boyfriend had maybe a spoonful of guacamole on his while mine was slathered in it. That made me happy at first... until I realized the guacamole had no flavor. The fries were delicious, however. We both had Loaded Coronas, which were just Coronas paired with a tequila shot. We also had a few Jack and Cokes. Pricing wasn't too bad considering how strong the drinks were. I was pleasantly surprised by that. Our server was very nice and pretty. It seemed like it was her first week or something but she was very attentive. I would definitely go back, as long as their other burgers are better.

    Went here on St. Patty's Day since every pub within a 5 mile radius was packed that afternoon. It's similar to Hooters with scantily clothed women but of a more chilled atmosphere. Had my first car bomb there (eh) and green beer (ew) with Nachos. it was calm since it was early, nice place, nothing fancy or special about it.

    I have been to this place three times in the last three months. I really enjoy the place, the food and drinks are good. The only mistake I made was to bring a date here. The waitress's have a habit of touching all male customers, personally I don't have a problem with this, but my date was less than enthusiastic. Definitely going back, this time alone...

    A big sports bar with that Irish pub feel. The expanse covered in dark stained wood and a plethora of flat panel TV's pumping out massive amounts of sports programming. One commented that there were too many televisions. Naw, if you have it go ahead and flaunt it. The vision every first timer is looking forward to are the servers which are all dressed in naughty catholic school girl uniform or Britney Spears - hit me baby one more time-esque wear. More like Britney Spears skanky little sister playing dress up to appease the hordes. Since this is their uniform I will add that some of these ladies have hot bodies, slim bodies and then there are those that choose not to suck in that gut and let the muffin hang out. Muffin or bloated belly, you decide. Most of the ladies are cheery and do entrance and exit greets, which is nice. Juggy! Every lady has big, bouncy, bodacious boobs. It puts the local strip bars to shame. Service: Food service in general has been spotty, between ordering and getting refills it really depends on who's your server. Between Tilted Kilt and Hooters, I feel as though Hooters is the classier of joints. As strange as that sounds. Beers are downtown expensive. The best deal is to get a 23 ounce glass which is around $7 dollars. A 12 ounce pint is between $5 to $6, so you might as well upgrade. Shots are all priced differently, with i.e. a shot of Captain Morgan for $7 dollars, seriously an ounce for seven dollars is nuts. Food.... Depends on what you get. Recently I had one of their signature burgers with cheddar and bacon. Bacon was very crispy, couldn't get any flavor from the cheese and the meat was YUCKY! It was the worst burger I have eaten in the last ten years. I shared some with my buddy and we both agreed it tasted like a cheap hot dog. I dunno maybe the grill was used to cook a bunch of hot dogs and now for some reason the meat was stinking of that smell and flavor? I've never experienced this while I grill at home. Or maybe the burger meat is crushed up hot dogs? Who knows, I'll never eat that again. Ten bucks for a burger and fries and none of it was pleasing. All night I had a full belly and all night I relived the hatred of this burger. Buddies tell me the chicken tenders with their signature hot sauces and pastrami sandwich - Reuben style are good. Late nights, the menu switches to a reduced menu, basically no pulled pork sandwiches. Ladies on the prowl can look forward to a sausage fest on weekends. Worth a look once or twice, but with this bad burger incident and the gross cost of beer, it's lost its appeal for me. Best for an after work drink with the buddies or a spot to bring tourists. I will share one experience only because it aims to point out that some need to control their liquor intake in public. This dude was so bombed he dropped it all and fell asleep at the urinal. Seriously guys, the only ages its acceptable to drop your pants and underwear would be if you were a child 5 and under. At 25, it looks ridiculous. Butt naked, humped against a bar urinal, classy.

    IF HOOTERS AND LANE BRYANT HAD A BABY... It would be the Tilted Kilt. Think girls not hot enough for Hooters, Catholic school girl uniforms, bare midriffs with guts hanging out, bitchy attitudes, and the collective IQ of a box of hair. As our early 20-something server rambled on an on about the married man she's banging, how all guys that use hair products are gay, how she hates kids so much that she just wants to punch them in the face, while simultaneously berating us for not drinking enough...I decided that if I ever have a daughter it will be my sole mission in life to keep her from becoming this waitress. This place seriously makes me weep for the future of our country. The only plus is that they have good bar food. Excellent wings, fries, and a pretty solid shepherds pie.

    Alrighty, so I have to laugh from the get go about this place. I was in a search for substenance after having toured some sights downtown. Dad and I ducked into this place as it didn't sound generic and it was close :) Walking into a restaraunt with your FATHER where the girls are very.... well endowed.... is a bit uncomfortable. I just had to laugh to break the ice. That said! The food was great! We had some onion rings to get us started. The ranch sauce had a bit of cayenne seasoning in it and the actual rings were sprinkled with what seemed like parmesan.. maybe garlic parmesean. Not sure. But they were great. Dad had a burger and I had a sandwich - both were very tasty. Our server, I forgot her name, was super friendly and very cute. She was knowledgeable about the menu and was able to suggest a great dish for lunch. Other than that this joint had dart boards, golf games, pool tables and good selection of beer on tap (about 20!) and had a clean cut, older than 30's crowd. I'll definately drop in when I'm in the area again and would even consider coming here if I have a night on the town (it's RARE).

    Stopped by here to watch the Chelsea vs. Barcelona game and of course Chelsea won. #Blue is the color. Plenty of tvs and a big projector encompass the main dining room. I asked to sit right in front of the big screen, of course. I was told to go here by some locals as they said it was like a Hooters. It had the sports bar feel of Hooters, except the girls were wearing much less. The crowd in there was energetic and rowdy, my kind of audience. However, my glass of red wine was $7. Needless to say, I wasn't very enthralled.

    Meh. Typical bar food and the Loop location means that it'll be professional clientle in the daytime and evenings, then tourists at night and on weekends. Basically it's Hooters with a different theme. They have a decent beer selection but I'd recommend not getting a mixed drink as they seem to pour them weak. Servers and management are okay but not really that friendly, and to be honest with the way guys (myself included) sometimes act around pretty girls in skimpy clothes I can't really say that I blame them. Not a bad place for a weekday lunch and beer during your work day but I wouldn't make special trip to come here since there's many better dining options in River North just a 10 to 15 minute walk away.

  • Paul F.

    okay, I'll try out the 'Scottish' hooters, via midwest, chain. I'm no snob. It is, after all, twelve feet from the train. but 1. Drinks are weak and pricey, even by loop standards. 2. I expected about 30 tvs, sure, but do we need to hear the commentators at full blast? 3. Food poisoning, for real. It was the fish & chips if you want specifics. Presumably it's for the best, but they only gave 3 pieces of fish for nearly $10 too... which, again, would have been disappointing had the food not been poisonous. I would choose Beef & Brandy, Jem Bar, Exchequer or Roscoe over this bar any day of the week. This place sucks. It's too expensive for being shitty bar food (if we're to ignore the poisoning aspect) and their drinks are entirely avoidable. I suppose the waitress's outfits are cuter than hooters, but if you're feeling lecherous there are also strip clubs in the area (more or less) so save your money.

    I went about a week ago with my brother and we sat by the window. Very great view, and then we order drinks. Our waitress was overall nice, but she was not working. i counted the times that she came to our table and it was 4. My brother had to get up and get his own beer. Which should not had happen in the first place. The food was great and great amount of TV's for any sport event.

    We stopped in for a quick bite and a cold beer. The 12 oz. draft was okay and $5 each. The sliders were tasty but there was way too much bun and way too little burger. Our bartender asked how we wanted them done and we said rare. I don't know why she bothered as they were well done. The chips were tough and cold-obviously pre-cooked. Had they been hot, they would have been tasty. Cute girls in plaid bras is a nice take off on the Beer N' Boobs theme.

    I've been here several times, and my rating is an average of all of them. The drinks and food are fantastic - definitely 5-stars worthy! The service - not so much. When I come with a large group at night, it's not as noticeable, and many times we just go up to the bar to order drinks and munchies. I stopped in with a friend for lunch one day, however, and we were ignored the first 20 minutes after we were seated. No waitress even wandered by. It was terrible. I recommend the place, but go in prepared.

    BOOBIES. DRESSED UP FRAT PARTY. These were my first and last impressions of this fine establishment. It's basically a huge dressed up Scottish themed Hooters. It's a run of the mill downtown Chicago sports bar in a short kilt. The bartender was very nice. The hostesses were welcoming and cheery. The drinks weren't "falling off my stool" strong they were meh. Clean bathroom.It's a total sausage fest in there of course. If you want sub par looking "after work businessman preppy" guys that are more than likely engaged or married but obviously don't care judging from their Catholic priest like molestation of the hot waitresses then come here.

    We were going to meet at Dorsia, but an associate insisted on giving this place a try. The place is highly under priced as everything on the menu starts at $10.99 for lunch. I would have felt embarrassed if someone were to have seen me in this place; black tie not required nor did they carry Chivas Regal Royal Salute 50. We were seated but the waitress did not appear. It took so long in fact, that we were in the middle of arguing whose business card was better. Mine clearly dominated the others as it was Silian Rail on Bone, but Van Patten foolishly thought his Egshell with Romalian Type was better. I just can not believe that Bryce prefers Van Patten's card over mine. The waitress finally appeared and I went with the chicken caesar wrap, since the menu only had simple items. The salads contained no arugula, there was no swordfish meatloaf with onion marmalade, no rare-roasted partridge breast in raspberry coulis with a sorrel timbale, no grilled free range rabbit although most items did come with herbed fries which is a plus. The restrooms were surprisingly clean although Van Patten complained that they weren't good enough to do coke in. Marcus was gawking at the servers. They were all female with similar measurements. All of them smoking hot but not as hot as Evelyn, my fiancee. Marcus seemed to think that just because one sat down next to him that he could score. She was clearly interested in my conversation and made eye contact with me multiple times. Marcus and I both wear Oliver Peoples glasses and even go to the same barber (except my haircut is slightly better) but I always won over any woman we both were after. In summary the food is boring but tastes good enough, the ambiance is tacky and the service could be slightly better; the women are something I would absolutely kill for. I can't wait to take Paul Allen here.

    It is what it is. It's a place for men get to ogle a girl's goodies (I'm pretty sure me and the woman friend I was with had more goodies than all the waitresses combined) without getting slapped in the face. The spin dip was actually quite good and so were the french fries. I was disappointed with my cesar wrap but everyone else seemed to be okay with their food. Classic story of the night - Friend orders an old fashioned and the waitress brings the drink to our table only half full. She takes it back to the bartender who says "Yeah I know I made it. Would you like more ice?" Umm no I would like more whiskey please! Who sends out half full drinks!? Oh and my little SSC I ate Mike's pickle.

    I always feel kinda dirty going there. The place is huge, plenty of seats, TVs, and good atmosphere. They clean the bathrooms once an hour. The food is good. But the waitresses... the place reeks of low self esteem... and I just can't help feeling sorry for these girls. I really want to like the place and go there more, but I can't. Not to mention most of my female friends don't like it... except the catty ones... they love to sit and people watch. And a great people watching spot it is.

    Met some guy friends here for happy hour. I knew what I was getting into. Teeny tiny kilts, low cut shirts, exposed plaid bras, thigh high tights. I was not prepared for the belly button rings (people still have those?), and obnoxious tattoo's. They need better talent. The service was sub-par. They only had 3 bartenders for the entire bar. Once someone got the attention of Boobs McGee, she was rather rude and bitchy. Problem #1. Once we got a table, and Butterface O' Callahan greeted us, we had to wait another 15 minutes for 2 Bud Lights, 2 Coors, 1 Guinness and 1 Smithwicks. Not a terribly hard order, one would think. Problem #2 A manager stopped over to ask about our service, so we told him it could be better. About a half hour later, our overwhelmed and uncomfortable waitress apologized to our entire table regarding her lack of prompt service. Awkward!! The reason they are getting 2 stars is the sliders. They are some of the best I've had. Made from real Angus beef (not frozen), cheddar cheese, sauteed onions and yummy pickles! Now, I'm not being rude about the girls because I'm jealous or insecure. I've been to Hooters and other various bars who rely on good looking women to keep the customers happy. This is just not one of those places. This is your typical after work spot for a few drinks with your male co-workers. I'm just glad I never had to wait in line to use the ladies room.

    Listen people, You get what you come for. It has beer, decent food, darts, pool tables and sexy clad, well-endowed young females. It's a bar in the loop...catering to middle age business men that want to have some beers and stare and dream about the girl that just served them nachos with a side of nipple before going home to their wives...it is what it is. I find it funny being 27 and watching guys my Dad's age flirt with girls younger than me....and also a tad creepy That being said...this isn't my first choice due to the extreme volumes of businessman that venture here...especially Friday knock off time. It is pretty hard to find a seat at the bar sometimes, but there is plenty to look at while waiting. If you want a place in the loop to have some beers and drool at women, this is the place...if you want a classier place...try Elephant and Castle down the street.

    My boyfriend had been to Tilted Kilt a couple times with the guys. He described it as a Hooters on crack and every time he came back he had this mischievous grin. So, me being a good girlfriend, drag some of my gal pals to check this shindig out. Wow, Hooters on crack is an understatement. I'll leave it at that, use your imagination if you've never been... The dining area is a lot bigger than it looks with tons of flat screen tv's. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience and I found myself staring a lot more than I'd like to admit. Pretty typical bar food and the service was ok. For the location and price, yes I'll admit it, I'd go back.

    Really bad! Bad with a big B! The service is terrible... Food is horrible and overpriced. Their selection of beers is decent but while we were there they ran out of Blue Moon... And it was only 6:00 pm. Hello!!!!!! Definitely I would take any friend to out of town to other places for food or drinks.... Regarding the girls on kilts... well, there are places where you can see more for less...

    I came here on a Thurs after work because I had some time to kill before a show. I started with an Old Fashioned and it was really strong (a pleasant surprise). The biggest problem was that it took forever for the server to come back with my drink, and it wasn't even super crowded yet. I have a weird adoration for coleslaw ON my sandwich, so I had to order the Pulled Pork sandwich marinated in Guinness which comes with coleslaw on it. Very good pork, very good coleslaw, and I was happy. The fries were fine (I am not the biggest fry fan but I ate these easily). I thought the prices were pretty reasonable for downtown, and the server was kind enough to let me linger and read a little bit. I would go back to enjoy the food and cocktails (and laugh while watching my make friends ogle the waitresses in the tiny outfits). Perhaps also get in a game of pool in the back (two tables by the bar/windows).

    Like Hooters but with kilts. Server reminded me of Ms. South Carolina. Had the fried shrimp basket. Shrimp crispy but bland. Salad sucked. Fries, meh. GF had chicken tenders. They were tender but buffalo sauce sucked. If this one disappeared no one would miss it.

    Yeah, pretty damn lousy. I went with 2 old friends to grab some lunch. I ordered the chicken tenders which were tasty, but they were small and I got three of them. You call that a meal?? The waitress was also kind of a b as in boy rhymes with itch. She couldn't manage to make eye contact or smile and managed to seem exasperated when I wanted to substitute fries for something else. 2 stars on account of many refills of my diet coke.

    What ever you do, DO NOT ask the servers if the restaurant is like HOOTERS...it's NOT. They were short plaid skirts and tiny tops without owls on them. Our waitress sported a sparkly rhinestone belly piercing and the TV played women wrestling. Oh the food? Oddly enough, she said their wings were the best item on the menu and just like Hooters, the wings were terrible!

    Sometimes you just have to call a spade, a spade. Unless someone kidnapped, blindfolded and then dragged you into Tilted Kilt, you probably have a good idea what to expect of the place before you even set foot in the door: Servers wearing skimpy outfits that scream "HEY GUYS!!! COME CHECK OUT MY CLEAVAGE!!!", all the while serving standard bar fare with radio-friendly Top 40 hits blaring in the background. Let's be honest: the majority of the customers are guys and the majority of them go to Tilted Kilt because they want to check out the servers. Granted the outfits remind me of what a Vegas stripper might wear (except with shorter heels) but I'm sure most guys don't have a problem with that. My friends and I went to Tilted Kilt last night to watch Game 4 of the NBA Finals. My quick $0.02: - The place has TV's galore. Pretty much anywhere you sat, you had a good view of the game. Only complaint was that they didn't broadcast the play-by-play, though that's pretty standard practice with a bar like Tilted Kilt (i.e. catering to sports and non-sports fans alike) - The list of beers on tap is impressive. Aside from the usual stuff, they also had Hoegaarden, Leffe and something called a Hard Knuckle Stout. The beers come in a larger-than-average pint glass and cost $6 a piece, which is fairly typical for any of the larger Loop bars. - The service is reasonably efficient and definitely friendly. I noticed a couple servers sitting on customers' laps for no apparent reason. Our server didn't do that but she did sit down (in a chair) and chat with us about what we do for a living and what she does outside of Tilted Kilt (apparently, an aspiring actress). Props to the place for setting a table up for just me, even though we had made reservations for eight people. Most places probably would've given our table away, especially considering how busy they were last night. - The ambiance is very very loud and not conversation-friendly at all. Considering how big the place is, this was surprising. That being said, most people seemed fine yelling over the music and noise. - I didn't have food while I was there so I can't comment on that. Other people in our party who did order food seemed pleased with what they got. So there you go. Tilted Kilt is worth a visit the next time you're trying to pick a place in the Loop for happy hour. I'll pretty sure I'll be back, though NOT to figure out how to convince the server to sit on my lap (*waves* at fiancé. Hi honey!).

    We stopped in for a quick beer before a show at the Chicago Theater. First impression? Not bad but very warm in there. Wasn't too crowded but very full for a Thursday night. Didn't have any food this visit but it looks like they offer some decent fare. The eye candy is very obvious and very nice. I think I still have some residual whiplash from looking around. The bartenders were on their game and hustling back there. Good service. I'll be back when I have some time to kill and have a bite to eat.

  • Serg F.

    I went there with some work buddies and I have to agree with Jackie, this place is what it is. I had the California burger which was pretty good but nothing special. One guy had the wings but thought they weren't spicy enough and another guy had the chicken wrap and loved it. The service was pretty good although one guy asked for water and for some reason that took forever and a day. This is definitely the place to watch the game, it seems like they have enough screens to cover every conceivably angle. All in all, if I don't take into account the real reason guys go here, I have to say the Tilted Kilt was just ok. I usually hate getting the table by the server station but this time...Hubba Hubba!

    In the heart of the loop on Wabash, located on the 2nd floor, is this roomy Irish establishment. Actually it'smuch larger than I thought it would be. The server girls here are a mix of hot, average & no thanks. The food was decent but the portions were a bit small. The Black & Tans were quite tasty.

  • Channyn W.

    My original review is still pretty much how I feel - except for last night. Our waitress was rude and indifferent the entire time our group was there. Sorry, if you don't want to be a waitress, then find another job. However, there is no need to act like you are too important to do the job you are being paid to do. I get that it's NCAA tourney time. I was there in large part for that reason. I'm sure she was busy, and maybe she was just having an off day. Still, it's a service job, so don't take your mood out on your customers.

  • Rob M.

    Great bar food. Had the chicken tender wrap which was great. Next time I had the chicken tenders with the kilt burner sauce on them. The tenders had a great taste but they weren't especially hot and they only serve you three of them which was a disappointment. My buddy ordered the wings and got a ton of them for the same price. Other than that, it was good.

  • Evett C.

    Food was good but over priced! The service was terrible!!! The waitress was more interested in hanging out with her friends then actually doing her job. Menus were out dated and not correctly priced; big difference when u get the check at end. Not to mention everything my friend order was not available!!! TERRIBLE!!!!! I do not recommend this place. I'd prefer HOOTERS over this place seriously!!!

  • Ashley T.

    Oh no, no, no, no, no..... This place is just wrong. Here is my summary...which, from what it looks like, is the same as most of my fellow yelpers... 1. Service (servers) - it is what you would expect it to be...but a little more....shocking. Now don't get me wrong. I love Hooters. Good service, good food, good specials. But this was not comparable. This was just....trashy. OUR server was actually quite friendly, got our order right, refilled drinks, etc. - but you just can't get over those outfits. It's like the trashiest costume you see on halloween. You know, the one where you can't stop staring, because you are certain that with one wrong movement, there is going to be a full-flash of hoo-hah. 2. Atmosphere - it's okay. Lots of flat screen TV's, decent music. There are better places to watch sports in the city, that's for sure. It is very spacious and the tables are spaced out well enough so you aren't crammed into the guy sitting behind you, which is nice. I did not see any risque showings like other yelpers, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least (sitting on customers laps? really? what's next, happy endings??) 3. Food - okay...so now you are wondering...why the one star? The food. Now I'm not saying the dreaded F.P., cause you never can be certain. What I can say is this....It tasted good going down....not so good coming back up - and out. Not cool at all, TK, not cool at all.

  • Matthew P.

    This is your standard sports bar... except for the "amenities".... if you catch my drift. Went here to grab a quick bite before the Hawks game. I had the bacon BBQ burger... it was a little overcooked but still really tasty. 2 burgers 2 fries and 2 drinks for 27 bucks, not bad at all. I will return.

    (3)

  • JJ B.

    Not too bad, as far as atmosphere is concerned. Girls wear cute/skanky outfits which isn't too bad, depending on the girl. There are plenty of tv screens and 2 pool tables. Prices are a touch on the high side for drinks. Service is OK at best, I saw many people that would agree with that statement. Haven't tried the food yet, but plan on returning.

  • Jin K.

    The girls here definately carry an attractive quality - this place is silicone heaven. I think hooters is where you start off and then when you save enough for the implants, you move on up to TK. I've been to two locations, the one on Wabash and the one randomly in the burbs, downers grove, I believe. Food is not impressive although it comes in MAN sized portions, Big Screen TV's throughout and if the bears are losing and your watching it here, at least you have some talent roaming around the playing field. Drink lots and take chances.

    Round #2 . So we finally went back and ordered food. At a first glance, the menu was short and prices were listed (no frills or thrills). I orderd the pulled pork sandwhich with a side order of coleslaw and seasoned fries and my friend order a Pizza. Since pulled pork is not your typical bar fare.. I was a bit skeptical @ first but I have to admit the food was nice and hot and looked great when it came from the kitchen..... but after the first bite I just knew that I should have stuck with typical bar food... burger or a pizza perhaps would have been appropriate? Needless to say the food was not BAD nor GREAT! So my rating for Tilted Kilt remains a strong 3! For two: (4) Stellas Artois - @ 6 dollars a piece = 24.00 (1) Pulled Pork w/ Fries - 7~8.00 (1) Veggie Pizza - 7.50~8 Plus 10.00 Tip.

    What a nightmare. If I could give this place zero stars I would. Our service was horrifying. We waited 15 minutes for draft beers, how hard can that be? and then another HOUR for our meal! It ended up being a two hour lunch, which is ridiculous considering it was a weekday. Plus, it seemed like every scantily clad waitress in the place was just milling about behind the counter without anything to do. Maybe they need to hire some of these girls as cooks instead of waitstaff to get the food out earlier. I don't mind waiting that long food if it is excellent, but this food was subpar at best. I ordered the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger, which got some fairly good reviews on Yelp, but it was burned to a crisp. The bacon on the top looked like it had been sitting on the griddle for about 20 hours and the "onions" on the top were mostly just batter with little onion. Furthermore, we were there with a large group 14 people for a work lunch, and they couldn't seat us all together. FYI this is a completely inappropriate place to take someone on business. Then, when the other table said they were paying for our table's lunch too the waitress came to our table and raved to the only other woman there, that "she should teach class on how to get men to buy her lunch." Besides some of the inane comments, our waitress was actually very nice and tried to make conversation with our table and was very polite. I didn't finish my whole burger and she asked if there was anything wrong with it. She was certainly the bright spot in the whole experience and NOT because of the college-halloween outfit she was wearing. Skip this place.

    We just arrived in Chicago hungry at lunch time on a Sunday. Dustin suggested we walk, and we found ourselves at the Tilted Kilt - also recommended by a friend who used to live in Chicago. The theme is obviously Scottish, with female servers who have less clothing on then the Hooters girls. The Sunday lunch crowd was not existent. I had a caesar salad and Dustin had the sausages with garlic fries. The garlic fries were great! I'll just say that Dustin's lucky I don't care what my servers are wearing as long as the food is good.

    We were a party of 3 on a Friday night. First off the 2 girls that greeted us were super nice. Our waitress was attentive yet after a while I noticed that she was sitting with certain patrons for an extended period of time (not sure if this is part of their job). She then came to our table and sat. We were having a business meeting yet she interrupted and just started talking about how many drinks she had so far & the type of drinks she likes. A few minutes later another waitress came and told her that Mike (manager) said that she already had her 3 drink limit for the night & she just blew it off angrily. We got the impression like she wanted us to buy her a drink which we didnt. She turned out to be a little rude when she realized we werent going to buy her drinks. There were only a handful of tables....on a FRIDAY night!!!!...WOW!!! I should have read these reviews first. Also, not to sound mean or like a jerk....the women here are below average in my opinion. Hooters girls are WAY better looking. Now, I will say that the Oakbrook location and Supposedly the Woodridge location have better looking waitresses. Yes... I know...it sounds mean but guys....this is why we come here right? ...beside the food which is average.... I saw the woodridge location website and the girls look better there....hopefully the service is better as well. In short, I will NOT be back to this location...the Oakbrook location is OK....& my next stop is Woodridge this coming up week. I hope I am not disappointed or else its back to Hooters. :-/

    Two stars... just because MOST of the girls there have two boobs (some I'm not sure) I've went there three times before writing a review. Not one time was it a pleasant experience. Yes I get it, you have kilts, that are tilted... and boobs. However, this is Chicago, you still need to provide a decent level of service and some culinary value! Today was the straw that broke the large chested camel's back. Went there over lunch, waited 40 minutes till our temptress returned to tell us that we would not be getting what we ordered due to the complexity of the meal. OK, my fault... I should not have ordered the chicken wrap, maybe I should have stuck with the water and sprung for a lemon on the side. This place needs to get it together! Managers don't manage... cooks, hell they don't cook. The girls do their part and do it well so keep your heads (and chests) held high and help turn this place around! I want this place to be good, I need it to be good. But, let's be honest... even if it stays the same (or gets worse) I will be back...

  • Onur U.

    It is what it is. The food is crappy and expensive. The waitresses are busty and almost aggressively friendly. The beer certainly isn't cheap. And yet I appreciate what they offer. It's a huge bar, definitely one of the biggest in the Loop, so you can come with a decent sized group and find some space (rather than cramming into a corner like you do at most Loop bars). They have an impressive array of flat screen tv's tuned to anything that even resembles sports all day. And the beer selection actually isn't horrible since you can get a couple seasonal brews on tap (Goose Island and Sam Adams). So if you're looking for a place to grab a beer with co-workers it's a good option. And at least the eye candy is something to talk about.

  • Rudy W.

    I know sports bar is supposed to just sit have a drink and watch TV. but I was hungry and ordered Pizza, nachos and burger. the place is nice, I went really early around 6:00 pm, so there were not many customers. probably 5 tables with 2 customers per table. so the waitress ratio per customers are good (2 per 1). I know, I'm not supposed to rate review of the restaurant on services, because when they are busy, they can't attend to every customers need. but the food. a. pizza taste like cardboard b. nachos, its a costco nacho + douze of cheeze, olives and cut up tomatos. the portion is for 10 people serving. they are huge. c. burger, if you think McDonald burger was bad. you have to try this one. then you'll go for McDonald burger. enough said on the food, ok, they are Bad. but did I mentioned that there weren't any customer. so, I was eating my fries (since I can't eat my burger), she walked by and swoop my basket. I wasn't looking, since I was watching TV. looking at my table, everything was empty, she left The Nachos. I called up the lady and said, miss, please ask the customer next time if they are done with the food. if she was smart. she could have anthologize and run to the kitchen and grab a basket of fries. o well, I put too much hope. :)

    The facts: Sex Sells, and thats all they have to sell here. The Girls are cute, but they will "accidently" add drinks or food to your bill "Oops let me fix that hee hee" The food is on par with any dive that gets their meals in ready to heat bags to toss on a plate. Liquor and Beer, yeah they gott'em, but so F'N what? Pass up unless your just looking for an eyefull.

  • Moe f.

    Yes, this place is the Scottish Hooters with flirty, scantly clad woman in short kilts, tiny shirts, and knee socks. This makes them all look like schoolgirls. There are 24 beers on tap but half are crappy domestics. I got the cheddar-bacon-bbq burger which was pretty good. This crowd was a sausage fest of men getting off work and grabbing some beers. When you are not distracted by the ladies working, you can watch sports on one of the many TVs. Since they just opened, I will not dwell on the service or the fact that they only had a few beers working on tap and no hard liquor. I found the whole place kind of wierd but not a bad spot for a beer and a bite.

    Great Atmosphere and delicious food! (Try the Irish Dip) Sometimes it can take a little to long to get food, was in a hurry one day and did not get to finish my meal due to waiting a long time. A great place to go out with a bunch of friends.

  • Brian I.

    There are plenty of crowded sports bars with loads of TV screens in Chicago - great places to celebrate (or drown sorrows) with friends. TK is just another one of these places but with a "spin." There is no pretense what the point of this place is. It succeeds in having an "eye-catching" staff (for the most part) in clothing designed to maximize their eye-catching nature, but the whole place just seems brutally manufactured, gimmicky, and fake (yes, I'm talking about those). The good: Lot's of TVs to watch. The bad: The food (even relative to standard bar food), the beer selection (which is just OK), and the service.

    Met a group here after the Rock n Roll half marathon, and opened the place up at 11am or so. Food was decent bar food, and the garlic fries were my favorite! We all asked for a dirty spicy bloody mary to start, and it hit the spot. A number of beers and car bombs later, we enjoyed a few games of darts and waving to the L conductors as they passed on the tracks. Service was fantastic and they put up with our silliness for a 4+ hour post race celebration! We will be back again probably after our next race. Oh, and the girls are really cute! Cheers!

    First off, you can't expect anyone to be sexy, full of pleasant personality and serve food/drinks to the masses all at once. Something has got to give.... and that my friend is service. Don't come here for the service, quality of food or cheap food or beer specials. Come for the women in mini-mini kilt skirts and cleavage. If you are a table of guys, the young women may sit at your table and conversate for awhile. No tip necessary, as I was told by other guys. Great sized TVs for your game spectating pleasures. Don't go if you only have an hour for lunch or if you have to be someplace else in less than two hours.

    Been here a few times at the insistence of coworkers. They have Hoegaarden on tap, which is pretty sweet, but everything else was medicore. The thing that struck me as odd was the number of waitresses to patrons there were. Not sure how they can afford so many staffers, but I'm there as a customer, not an accountant. Out of what seemed like 30 girls working that night, I'd say only 1 was in the 7-9 range. When the initial novelty of schoolgirls serving you food and drink wears off, I don't see this place staying in business much longer after that.

    Alright, I admit, I've always relied on Yelp for its user reviews and have never written one before because of my laziness to type but this experience has gotten me to finally do what is right. Thank you, Tilted Kilt on Wabash Ave, for encouraging me to write a review on how and why your location is THE absolute worst I have ever experienced. My friends, bf, and I (a total of 9), went for the UFC (Jones vs Evans) fight on a Sat night. Luckily, we got seated quickly and the server came, greeted, and asked what we liked to drink. Quickly, we had gotten our water. The beer that we ordered took about 10 minutes, which is understandable, and then we ordered some nachos and artichoke and spinach dip. First of all, I do not recommend anything on the menu that requires chips because the tortilla chips were bland and thin and half of it were broken into little pieces anyways. Second, the dips and the nacho toppings were not tasty at all. Our main server did not serve us our appetizers but another server did and she came to our table twice with food that we did not order (which I would have gladly accepted if their food was good at all) and then she came once with mashed potatoes that we also did not order but realized it came with the nachos when she came back the second time. I admit, that was kind of funny. After the appetizers...let's just say, our server did not really served us. I admit, I was not paying attention to my friends, but personally, I asked her find out how much caffeine was in a Red Bull (pregnancy can only allow you to drink a certain amount of caffeine) and she came back with an already opened can (from an employee) and told me to look for it and she left. Ok, fine. By that time, everyone else was ready to order and that took about 30 minutes for us to get her attention. She had gotten everyone's order except for myself and 2 others that sat next to me. Ok..maybe she'll get to us in a bit, I thought. NOPE! She never took our orders! My friend had to get up and walk to her to order my drink! Non alcoholic, of course :) . About 20 mins after THAT, everyone that had ordered earlier had gotten their food. Ten minutes later, she came by and told me I'll get my drink in a minute but still did not ask me or my friends if we wanted to order. Forty minutes passed by and everyone had finished their food and their (still) first round of beer, I finally got my drink and it wasn't one of those "I'm sorry for the wait" but *walks by quickly and slides drink on table without stopping*. WTheck, lady! In the end, when the fight was almost over (about 2.5 hours later), I complained to Manager Mike. He listened while I complained how horrible the service was and all he did was say "ok" (no apologies, nothing) and walked away and looked at the computer (pretending like he gave a dang). He never came back. When the fight was over (after 30 minutes), we got our server to give us our check and, lo and behold!, 18% gratuity was included! Since service was SO horrible, we did not leave a gratuity and left. Our server came chasing as we walked out the door with security and argued with us! My bf and I had to tell her why we refuse to give her any tip and she still thought she deserved it. Needless to say, if you didn't serve us, you don't get tip. End of story. All in all, food=service. HORRIBLE. Thank you, server lady for proving that just because you got big boobs to show, doesn't mean you get tipped in a restaurant. And thank you, Manager Mike, for showing me that there can be worse customer service than I have ever experienced in my customer service years.

    This place is ok for food, fantastic for sports with lots of TVs in every direction. They also buy the UFC events for everyone to watch, which can be hard to find a place doing this. The staff is generally nice, but that is affected by how many jerks they have to deal with in a day. Food I would give 2 1/2 stars, most of it is really high caloried foods, They have a few salads, then they have entrees like gaelic chicken, Longshank's platter, sandwiches and burgers. They are all ok with no real standouts. The atmosphere can be real loud if there is a sports game on that people are watching, sometimes too loud, but if your there for the game it makes it fun. So for sports I would give it 4 stars simply for the girth of what is showing. It is definetly more for guys than girls, it has a couple of pool tables, a electronic dart board and pinball machine.

    Now, I'm going to start off by saying I'm a woman and I'm not going to hate on the outfits. If you can rock something like that with self confidence, more power to ya. I've also been to plenty of other Tilted Kilts, and haven't had issues with any of them. Moving on... Myself, my boyfriend, and 2 friends went in there on Sunday before heading to the bears game. Obviously the place was busy, which we expected, so we got our little buzzer and headed to the bar. The drinks weren't bad, but you can't really mess up beer, except for the fact I usually like mine filled more than 3/4 of the way. Oh well, not going to fuss. We got sat in about ten minutes, which was nice because I was expecting it to be a longer wait. I shouldn't have gotten too excited, because after fifteen minutes had gone by I finally got up and asked another server if she could send ours over. A girl named Cindy came up to our table and introduced herself, asked if we wanted drinks, and when she realized we already had them goes "Oh" and -starts to walk away!- I yelled to her and told her we were actually ready to order since we'd been there awhile. The orders were super simple, 3 chicken tender wraps, 2 of them with tilted sauce and one with kilt burner. She couldn't seem to grasp the fact that I was ordering for someone who had gone to the bathroom, so when I told her both orders she just looked blankly and started fidgeting. I had to explain to her again that I was ordering for someone not at the table, and she still asked "So wait, you want your wrap with which sauce?" sigh. Our food came out at a decent time seeing as how busy they were. The wraps were good, although mine was a little dry. About 10 minutes later is the only time throughout our visit that our server came back other than to drop off a check, which stunk because a few of us needed drinks for awhile and I was hoping to get some more sauce before I had eaten 3/4 of my food. I wasn't even going to bother asking her to split our check like we wanted. All in all, I think this could be a great place if it wasn't super busy, and maybe we just had a server that wasn't on top of her game that day. In an area like this one is in, its a shame to see. Probably will choose a different restaurant next time.

    Well if your going here, it's definitely for all the eye candy and it's plentiful. A nice spot to come for lunch or to watch a game those are the times I've come in. Everyone was very nice and took care of me. I'll be back for sure! The prices are a bit high for my taste, but again this is downtown Chicago.

  • Egle M.

    Convenient location. Eye candy for me & the boyfriend. Have one of my favourite Belgian Goose Island beers on tap. Wings are ok but not spicy. Burgers are mediocre. Waitress was super cool but the hostesses seemed bored & annoyed to seat us. Tons of tvs to view sports and pretty decent music. Not my favourite place but will be back eventually.

    I knew what the logo looked like from the advertisements, I just didn't think that was how the girls actually dressed here! Even I was trying to not stare at cleavage, which is a freakin' feat in this joint! If you're going out with a group of guy buds, check Kirk's review. Turns out the "Irish Bar" doesn't have Magners, but our waitress (Jackie) said the bar has the pear one. I thought, "Awesome!" People have been coming back to the States at my bar raving about the pear Magners, and a bar here finally has it! She brings me back a taste, and it wasn't great. I start looking through the beer list for something else, only to read they have "Woodchuck Pear" on tap. All cider is not created equal. Strike one. The boyfriend orders a Newcastle, and she brings him a Smithwicks (we think - we were told we were wrong). Strike two. He wants to return it, but our waitress spends ten minutes at each of her other tables chatting with the businessmen. I know we aren't wearing expensive suits or flirting with you, but we are good tippers. Do we have to say that to get you to come by more than every 20 minutes? Strike three. We were planning on drinking a lot, and the pint glasses were 20 oz. beers. We asked Jackie how much the pints were, and her response was, "I don't know... $5 or $6?" (insert hair flip) Don't know your beer prices? Strike four. Either she was doing a great job playing dumb-blonde, or the management REALLY hires based on looks. The food here was average bar food, and the only thing I can recommend is the garlic fries (which were brought out to the wrong table and we had to flag down the food runner - Strike 5). Our service was very slow, and I shouldn't have to find the manager to let him know we're going down for a cigarette and not walking out. After that, he must have said something to her, because for the rest of our time there, she was really short with us, and wouldn't come by unless our drinks were almost empty. Strike... what are we on now, six? I'm sure there are some great servers here which could have made this review very different, but I'm not coming back to find out.

    hooters dressed in a kilt - pathetic. waitresses were not very friendly (maybe b/c i wasn't a guy)....and the drinks were weak and overpriced. Pretty tasteless

  • Pete D.

    I don't care how "hot" the staff is, this place is an embarrassment. Took 15 minutes of bartenders looking past me to get a drink while they talked mostly. Then a waitress is no where to be found until you look over and she is sitting down with friends. 40 minutes and she finally walks by, I ask for a menu and she says "ok" without breaking stride. Another 10 minutes for a menu that she literally throws on the table and then proceeds to go sit down with friends again. A manager walks by and says NOTHING to her for sitting around while people wait. Having just come off working 12 hours, I was hungry and just wanted a bite to eat at a place that has food. Rude, inattentive and overpriced. A bad combination for a pub & restaurant. I'll gladly skip the "eye candy" and go somewhere that cares about their customers.

  • Jen L.

    It's a pub-slash-sports bar with hilariously clothed waitstaff. The servers are seriously wearing tartan plaid bustiers and skirts that barely cover their moneymakers. I was here on a recent Sunday afternoon, and had a few drinks at the bar while watching some football on one of the eleventy thousand televisions. I didn't eat, so I can't tell you about the food. The drinks? Not bad. I had a few glasses of so-so red wine and the bartender fixed me a perfect snakebite (cider with a Guinness floater). Plus, he was wearing a man-kilt and he gave me 10% off the bill for simply checking in w/ FourSquare.

  • Reggie M.

    Walked in and was pleasantly surprised when I was greeted by a lovely lady wearing a low cut shirt and a mega-short kilt. Can't site them for false advertising cuz the cartoon logo out front did match what the servers were wearing. The service wasn't horrible but it was great either. They had a decent selection of beers and the food was good as well. I would say its a good bar in the loop but nothing spectacular. Just one thing rubbed me the wrong way. It seemed the waitresses there had the mentality of strippers. They really worked for the tips. Ours was EXTREMELY nice, a bit touchy feely, and even sat down at tables and chatted for awhile (maybe thats why the service wasn't very quick). If their kilts weren't so short they might've offered to sit on guys laps. Our waitress even offered us a picture with all the waitresses there right when we she gave us the check. (I could've sworn too that they purposely shoved their breasts as close to me and my buddies face as possible). I wasn't overy wowed but wasn't disappointed either.

    Well, if your a male between the ages of 17 and 40, and you love woman in short skirts. Here is your place. This is kind of like hooters. But hooters actually has good food. The building is pretty cool, and pretty old. The girls are skantilly clad, and you can watch any game really here. I was here with my sister and her friends, they wanted to go, so that's why I was there. You know their beer list could of been ALOT better. I got a salad that night, and it was just like any other salad I cold of made at home. And they charged me like 11 bucks. BOOOOO. So like I said, this place is great for guys who have nothing better to do than look at girls who hardly have anything on. (These are the type of guys, who don't get much) :)

  • Rachel R.

    I came for birthday drinks with co-workers and friends after work. I've been to most of the bars in the loop and this one seemed different. It's basically Hooters with kilts. I wasn't into the girls but, my male co-workers seemed to enjoy them. The beers were big and there was a decent enough variety. There are tons of TVs so it might be a good place to catch a game after work. We had some appetizers but I only remember the garlic fries and those were really good to munch on.

    (3)

  • Kwoky L.

    They have quite a few beers on tap but the food menu is mediocre at best. The servers' outfits are also kinda trashy. So, if you're going for the girls, stick with Hooters instead. Despite its proximity to the loop, the crowd is less professional than some bars around the area. It more like a cross between Plymouth and Durkin's. If you enjoy shouting to make yourself heard amidst the crowd and the noise from the TVs, this is definitely your kind of place.

    I have gone to the Tilted Kilt a few times for lunch with a bunch of co-workers and we were not disappointed. The "ambiance" of the bar was top-notch and all of the staff was very courteous and prompt. The complimentary chips/salsa, tasty buffalo chicken wrap, and abundance of sports-tuned TV's were also a plus.

  • andy p.

    So when you go to hooters you think super greasy and bright atomosphere and well chicks in overly tight boy shorts and a tank that sometimes makes you not want to be there, i am no body builder myself to be one to speak but hey this is hooters theme so they should sell it accordingly! Tilted kilt on the other hand as the idea of beautiful women serving you food in a more afterhours and relax feel environment in not so beach ware attire yet equally if not more enitcing. I mean def worht a trip there and food was good, and more themed rather then just plane fried chicken. Thank god for the irish and their tilted kilt!!!!!

  • Edward P.

    I went here with some friends who were in from out of town. We were in the loop and needed some beer. It's a great place for having a few drinks and watching sports. As for the food, I ordered the hot chicken wings with fries. Very, very salty. Others in my group had the same comment-the food is just way over salted. So hit up the Tilted Kilt for the game, drinks, and (in some cases) the eye candy. Eat somewhere else.

    As i write this, I finally realize what a pig i am. I was mesmerised by the impossibly attractive waitresses who were barely dressed. They are very, very attentive and that helps one have a good time. All that aside, the house brews were good and the food was above-average. I'm sorry to give it such a good review...but I loved it...so sue me!

  • Fred M.

    Given it's opening during a weak economy and period of high unemployment, I figured they could have had the pick of the litter in their waitress selection. And I'm not talking just in looks. Even the service lacked. So the staff left more to be desired and the food was mediocre. But what really annoyed me most is the type of customer that frequents places such as these. Sketchy, depressing or amusing depending on your take. I should have known better. I'm adding a second star for it simply being a new bar in the underserved Loop, and for their bold choice of selecting Wabash as the address.

    (2)

  • Pickle P.

    A little pricey, and the service can be so-so (a little slow) though I've had a time where we had such a rockin' server with a rockin' attitude, that makes me want to come back again. Yes, the waitresses are scantily clad, but hell, they wear it proudly, and I am always so impressed by the confidence that it doesn't even phase me (as a woman) too much anyhow. Good margaritas. Standard bar food choices. I would say maybe the best/cheapest place in the loop (near Millennium Park) to have some bar food and drinks, though it's not "cheap" by other cities' standards, by any means, but I'm used to that by now. Just need to disclaim. Usually it's pretty freakin' hot in here, though. I feel like they rarely use their air!

  • Robin M G.

    Unless your a man, don't waste your time ladies. This of this place as: A Scottish version of Hooters. Service was crap, drinks were weak, food so so. I have never been back since. Also, way too loud, and I mean LOUD. I was practically "kissing" my waitress just to get her to hear me. So unless your server can read lips?

    (2)

  • Zach T.

    Okay, picture Hooters meets Irish pub, updated for 2009, and you have the Tilted Kilt. The waitresses here are very scantily clad, and pour on the charm to the primarily male clientele. The place is huge and well decorated. Take your horndog friends here and prepare to be thanked. The food is mediocre bar fare. The TK Barbecue burger I had was terrible. The wings with their signature sweet-spicy sauce were surprisingly good, and the Irish nachos (dressed up potato chips) are a great bar snack. Speaking of the bar, if you like beer, the TK signature beer is very good. Amber in color, but drinks very light and easy. Back to the staff for a moment: the waitresses are fake nice in a very Gentleman's' club way. One friend of mine stated that he was waiting to be asked to go for a dance in the champagne room. That said, the waitresses I have had have been very nice and very charming (and in some cases stunning). I prefer the forced pleasantries to a lot of the service in the city. Yes this is a new Hooters, but if that's up your alley, this place is VASTLY SUPERIOR to Hooters. I recommend this for males and for drinks and snacks. I have yet to be impressed by the food.

  • Jeff W.

    First impression: client wanted us to take him there and I had never heard of this place that I have found out was a chain- I was surprised that our client wanted to go there-I thought, oh great Hooters has some serious competition except I really liked the ambiance of Kilt-the food was OK -the wings are MUCH better at Hooters-the burger was very tasty-I had the BBQ bacon cheddar and they forgot the BBQ. I guess the major appeal are the sexy flirty waitresses...90% of clientele were male...I have to admit, this will be our go to loop watering hole...a guilty pleasure...

    There is nothing super special about this place but I had a good time watching about 6 hours worth of Sunday football there. The bartending staff (I forgot her name) along with the wait staff were super nice and friendly to us. The food wasn't out of this world but good for bar food. Reasonably priced drinks and loads of TVs.

    Stopped at the Tilted Kilt on Saturday October 13 2012. I left two t-shirts I had just purchased, one a Chicago Bears the other a Chicago t. Left the bar, retrieved car from parking ramp then realizing I left my t-shirts at the Kilt. I called them, told Arianna to hold the shirts for me as I or someone would be back to pick them up. She confirmed that she had them and they were in a red plastic bag. Called Monday to set up retrieval of my items and no one could locate the bag. Called Tuesday to speak with a manager. I spoke with Holly and she said that the bar is not responsible for "lost" items. I assured her the items were not "lost" as her employee Arianna confirmed she had them. I told Holly I had made arrangements for my friend to pick them up or I would send her a box and prepaid label to return them to me. She put me on hold once again, then said she would speak with the staff who was working the 13th @ 3 pm, took my number and would call me back. It has been 2 weeks and I haven't heard a thing. You would think that they would have put the items under lock and key in the managers office if anyone there gave a crap. Well I guess I am out $60. Thanks gang at the Kilt for being concerned about your patrons. NOT!!!!!!

  • Deanna D.

    I went to Tilted Kilt to meet up with a few friends, and I must say, despite some of the subpar reviews I'm seeing, I had an enjoyable time. Impressive beer list + Pool tables = Endless Happy Hour possibilities. There were also huge plasmas (I'm talking 52 inch) in the bar area, making this an ideal spot to catch a ballgame. Nice place to people watch too - there were a lot of attractive 20 and 30 somethings taking back a post-work brew. Didn't get a chance to try the food, but the nacho platter was massive and smelled heavenly. I can see how the big busted, scantily clad servers could be a turn off for female patrons, but they were harmless - just trying to make an honest living...in kilt-inspired mini skirts and belly baring Ts.

  • Jimmy G.

    Might be the worst food I've ever had. I give this place 8 months. You need more than short skirts to make it in the restaurant business. Your food has to be edible. I've tried multiple items on the menu and each is more disgusting than the next.

    (1)

  • Tim N.

    I didn't eat anything so I can't comment on the food. From what other people eating it didn't look great but didn't look terrible. However, I didn't come for the food. I came for the eye candy and a cold beer. I wasn't disappointed. The service was good. The beer was cold and the prices were modest.

    This place should shut Hooters down!!! The women are so beautiful it makes your eyes hurt, dressed in better fetish wear that I saw in Europe (Fetish tours 2003-2006), and the food does not suck (it almost sucks, but I have high standards). Back to the women... WOW! Someone got it RIGHT!!! Mini kilts, white knee-highs and their breasts hanging out!! Any guy who gave this place an unfavorable review, did it with their girlfriend watching over their shoulder. Pussies... the lot of them. There is a 15ft HD TV with lots of others to back it up, 2x 7 ft. pool tables, 2 dart boards, their own Brown Line stop to get you home, a view of my motorcycle parked on Wabash St (they have 1/2 a city block of windows from the second floor) and did I mention the women? Anyway... the food was OK. Stay away form the wings. This is NOT Hooters. BUT try the sliders! This is not White Castle. The sliders are excellent, as is their selection of tap beer. Thee service was great and we talked more to our waitress about forensic-pathology (her MA program) that we did the about the nachos. I looked her in the eyes as much as humanly possible but it would have been shameful not to sneak a peak at the offerings! So I'm a pig. Big deal. And you know what... they cater to it at the Kilt. I'll be back there, again and again. Shooting pool, flirting with waitresses, eating sliders, and flirting with waitresses... It's what it's for. They got it right. Spot right on. If you are a guy, don't be a fool. Go to the Tilted Kilt. I'll be the one sitting in the window, eating a slider, watching his bike, with a waitress on each knee. See ya there.

    This place needs some help! Went there twice and both times had horrible service. The second time was a Saturday about 7PM. The place was full but not packed. We were seated and them promptly forgotten. Several waitress' walked by as well as the two floor managers. NO ONE stopped! We didn't even get water. After sitting there for 10 minutes, watching tables next to us get served, one of us went to the bar to get drinks. No luck there either. So after 25 minutes of being invisible, we left and went to Elephant and Castle where we actually got served and spent lots of money. I'm done with this place.

    I went to the Tilted Kilt this past weekend with a group of guys as part of a bachelor party. As other reviewers mentioned, they just recently opened and are still working out the kinks, so expect minor issues with service that should go away with time. Their space on the second level is huge, but is a little hard to find from the street unless you know it is there. I had the opportunity to sample the pulled BBQ Pork and Signature Wings, both of which were quite good, had a tasty sauce and were accompanied with some crunchy fries. Other people in our group had the Tilted Wings (just okay) and the Five Quid Squid (good). They have a standard beer selection that includes the standout TK Signature Draft, which is made by Pyramid and was all I drank while I was there. The atmosphere of this place is great, the staff is friendly and they have plenty of TVs for sports, making this easily one of the best bars in the loop. As time goes on, I expect this place to become continuously packed, especially as more tourists become aware of its existence. In addition, if you are the kind of guy who goes to Hooters, skip it next time and go to Tilted Kilt instead. Your stomach will thank me.

    been here many times read the reviews n had a lot to say to many of you who posted, 1st DO NOT COME TO TK IF YOU DONT WANNA LOOK AT HOT GIRLS WITH NICE BODIES! The place does not hide from the fact that the girls wear revealing clothes so if your gonna hate on them solely for that reason find something better to complain about or many since alot of these reviews about looks were from woman hit the gym your self. The girls are terribly sweet if you are nice to them, who likes someone rude blaming the quality of food on waitstaff? many tvs!!! and a new menu!! always fun if ur open minded!

    we got into chicago really late and wanted food after some drinks at our hotel. this place was really sort of creepy. drunk college guys in sweat pants skeeving on the bitchy, scantily-clad waitresses. our waitress at the bar was actually nice but everything felt rushed, like she knew the drunk dudes would tip her more than a gay couple would. lol

  • Blake H.

    disgusting. and not for the reasons you might think. i love the whole idea of girls dancing around for boys in dreamy/fantasy kilts with T&A. i mean it works...all the guys are drooling. however, its super loud, there is usually always a wait, depending on when you go, it usually takes a long time etc...we used to go because we honestly lived around the corner, but they don't have reasonable drink specials/happy hour/whatever. the last time we went i ordered chicken wings and they were 3/4 raw. so the waitress brought me out complimentary french fries. um, okay? we quit going because any of the other chainy/sportsbar/cheap food place in the loop is better than here. oh, and i can appreciate the fact that they have all the TVs on all the sports you want with the volume up loud, because it is that kind of place, but trying to eat under a movie-screen size TV with zoomed in UFC was hard to do. my friend got faint.

  • Matt S.

    This is a good place to go with the guys (or girls maybe). All the waitresses have little outfits on with lots of skin showing. Yummy! Food and drink were pretty standard for a bar + restaurant. Don't expect the finest of dining here. Just soak up the sights and sounds here during your night out. Live music on Saturdays are nice. TK is close to the Washington Blue Line stop so getting there is nice and easy for me! We drove there once and parking was a little tough.

  • Marvin A.

    This place is a decent alternative to Hooters. For a Sports Pub/Bar I expect... -My libations to never be empty for more than 7 minutes. -The food to taste what it's supposed to taste like. Not looking for 5 star dining here. -SportsCenter and the local games to be properly displayed. TK meets these standards but does not go above and beyond. The service is ordinary as far as manners and customer service is involved. I cannot add an additional star to an already ordinary place for the bonus of the waitresses being scantily clad. I would give a half star bump, but alas we can only grade with whole stars.

  • Nic N.

    Worst experience at a kilt. Waitresses hang out by themselves. Got no attention or service all night. Later sat by the bar they only had one bartender at an oval bar. The only saving grace is the amount of t.v's available for sports.

  • David R.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA! This is the greatest/most ridiculous place on earth! I can't believe that they are so utterly shameless. I had a few people tell me that this place would be right up my alley. Because I love hot women and Anglo-Gaelic booze? I guess. Based on the description, I was expecting just short skirts and knee socks; I really assumed that it was just flirty and innocent. Instead, I found plaid micro-skirts, exposed midriffs, dubious all-body tans, impossible cleavage, and brazen pandering to the heterosexual male brain stem. Look, I won't lie: I looked (and looked and looked and looked), and I enjoyed it. These women are hot, they show a staggering amount of skin, and any bend beyond five degrees from upright will show their knickers. Some of these women are naturally well-endowed (very), and some are utilizing push-up bra technology to an astonishing extreme (VERY). Thankfully, it all seemed more ludicrous than sleazy. I guess that it's all in good fun, and certainly nobody is holding a gun to these girls' heads. And I'm sure that this establishment will make plenty of money. For the sake of my own self-esteem, it won't be any of mine, though. I can't even think of this place without laughing hysterically. For what it's worth: they have numerous TVs for your football-watching pleasure; decent beer prices ($5 or $6 for a 20-ounce pint); and enough of a selection to avoid shitty American macro-brews. They claim to have a lot of whiskies, but it's really only about a dozen. PS: Major cougar alert on a Sunday late afternoon/early evening.

  • Damian B.

    Mediocre at best, really. With a bit of a "Hooters" type Irish theme, I wasn't expecting much. Service was just fine, but the first strike was that they didn't have Old Style, "did I just teleport to some magical place that looks like Chicago but isn't???" how are you not going to have Old Style in Chicago? Unfortunately over my week long stay in the Windy City, I found this disturbing trend more prevalent than I would have imagined. I got fish and chips, which I would have expected to be higher than substandard when delivered by a girl in a kilt, I was wrong. The pieces were pretty small and looked like preformed cubes of "phish" (they said Cod but, aren't they almost extinct?), the chips more like McDonalds fries, not impressed. At least I was sure they were SOME kind of fish, as it smelled, like fish. Overall, I hate to give just 2 as our server was very nice but, hey, I doubt I'll be back.

    This could possibly be the best bar I have ever been to!!!! First of all, the hot chicks wearing kilts and serving me is great! Taking an escalator to a bar is a rarity here in Chicago, but it had an elegant feeling to it as I was able to look at my gorgeous self in the mirror as I rode up to see my kilted beauties...I mean partake in some drinks. This bar is really spacious...definately not the typical elbow to elbow table to table downtown bars. All the waitresses were very nice to our table of 4. Not an ugly chick in site! Televisions everywhere playing so I could see every angle of PTI and Around the Horn as well as some news. The have darts,video games and pool tables so you can definately get your competitive fix here. They even have a laptop setup for those that want to web surf. The beer menu is cool as well...no German beer, but they had Hooegarden. The wings were nice and spicy (not Hooters spicy). Really huge space and a great addition to the downtown afterwork drinking scene

    Bidh modhail! Instead of the Tilted Kilt, this place should be called The Scantily Clad in Plaid. Slainte, indeed. Eeeee, Hooters has nothing on them. Idk, ya'll. This is almost like a gentleman's club sans stripping, and allowance of alcohol. I promise you. Look up 'sexy plaid costumes' and you'll come across exactly what the waitresses are wearing there. Personally, I think it's a tasteless gimmick that makes Hooters and Hustler Restaurant look a lot better. But, that's me. I'm giving this place 3-stars for 2 reasons. They have grilled chicken wings, and their drinks are strong. I love eating chicken wings while out. Since I can't eat fried food anymore, I've had to miss out on the fun. For grilled chicken wings, I can manage tackiness. Add heavy handed drinks on top of that, and you have an Aise that will just plain ignore it all. Maybe I can say this because I went on a weeknight when there wasn't many patrons. I also had a decent amount to drink before arriving. So, when this expansive venue (it's pretty big for where it is) is filled with lots of men ogling the bare midriffs and endless supply of open cleavage, would I still feel the same? Not sure. I may just need to stick to slow weeknights with this spot so I never find out. The grilled chicken wings are full of win, and I just can't mess that up right now.

    I'd like to start by saying this place isn't as bad as I thought it'd be, I'm giving it four stars for friendly service and tasty food...and lunch specials. I thought after the recent talk about tilted kilt employees filing sexual harassment claims that this wouldn't be a place that I'd like to go. It's similar to Hooter's with just as good of food. My friend and I stopped in for lunch and took advantage of the 5 for $5 lunch special, 5 great full sized menu items for just five bucks attracted me before I came in. Anyway, I got the chicken club sandwich and my friend got the big arse burger, we were both very satisfied and always get fries when you come here, they're de-lish-uss! Idk what kinda waitresses some of the reviewers had, but our waitress was very nice. She (Natalia?) sat down with us (which we didn't need cuz we aren't guys at a club, but it was cool) and helped us decide what we wanted. She told us about the lunch specials and drink specials, she even walked up to the bar with me to help me decide what I wanted! Once at the bar I met Melissa who was very cool, she sampled a coffee drink on me and one other guy at the bar and I thought I'd hate it, but it was good! I recommend this place for a great lunch outing as long as you can get past seeing body parts while you eat. Oh, and make sure you check in here on Facebook or foursquare (and yelp?) for discounts off your bill!

    Putting aside the obvious and only reason this place exists... let's be real, the food simply is not good. It's overpriced, greasy, and very unoriginal. The service is also really slow, so not a recommended place to try during lunch. Yeah, it's an okay place to watch games cus it has tons of tv's, and the drinks aren't so bad, but there are much better places to spend your money (just sayinggg).

    A mediocre review for a mediocre place- After enjoying ourselves at Millennium Park last Monday night, my gal pal who wanted to drink some more suggested Tilted Kilt. I guess she knew the lure of a cold beer with some leg and boobs (not hers, mind you) would lure me in. The TK is drab green with tons of Scottish golf memorabilia hung on the walls. The young waitresses dress in knee stockings and short short Kilt skirts and low-cut blouses. The women hang all over guys, flirting for big tips. They ignored us, because I guess they figured we were on a date, or weren't interested, or weren't big tippers. This place has a ton of televisions and big screens, one seemed to take up a whole wall. Definitely a place to watch the Big Game, etc. I didn't try the food, and may be back just to try the Nachos, natch; but otherwise will skip it!

    We ordered burgers and they were delivered medium just as we ordered them. Very, very good burgers. Great atmosphere and the food was brought to our table very fast. I recommend you stop in and have a bite.

    Oh man, this place is so creepy. I thought it was going to be like Hooters - you know, unbelievably short skirts, cleavage-bearing shirts, low IQs and other such insanity. However, this place was worse. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not a radical feminist who cares about these things. Women can take a job as a whore-like server in a restaurant and this does not bother me. However, when the servers have such a sad look of degradation on their faces while they are at work, I am bothered beyond belief. This place was just even more sad than Hooters. The male bartenders and bus boys were obviously ogling the ladies in the most disgusting way and some even went as far as to touch their asses and other body parts. Management was present and didn't seem to care - it seemed more like a company policy that needed to be enforced. Soooo creepy. Our server seemed pretty dumb (I like Jason B.'s Miss South Carolina comparison) and she was a bitch. I usually never think of waitresses as bitches but she really was. She was just super ho-ish and totally full of herself. She was obviously giving more attention to her male clients than us, but we just want to eat some food, man. She informed me that "Of course we don't have soup" (what? pubs serve soup in real life) and was just a total weird bitch. Gross. At least she had brain function enough to refill our pop without prompting. My mom liked her burger and I thought the chili I ordered was less than OK. Even the food couldn't redeem this weird, creepy, alternate universe-like experience. I get why guys like to come here but seriously, a lot of these ladies look like they're dead on the inside. That just creeps me out so much. I came in here by accident (it was in the building where I get my hair done) and I'll never come back. And I highly, highly advise you to do the same. *shudder*

    Am in Chicago for a week's work and this was near my hotel so I thought I'd give it a try as a place to simply have a drink and wind down. I've been to the one in Tempe/Chandler, so I know the concept, scene, etc. The space is nice but the staff is terrible. I wouldn't say rude, but completely disinterested in customer service. Rote. Disengaged. Not the least bit friendly. Good space. Bad attitude.

    Went here today for my going away luncheon by myself. Was set at what I like to call the Bitch table: right in front of the bar, but off to the side. Very noisy due to it being packed for some reason on a Thursday afternoon. Ordered a bowl of chili, which was passable but not memorable, and a Jalapeno burger. Burger as good, but the jalapenos weren't. Sat there without getting any attention from my waitress or any other ones. Its just as well though: when I go to a restaurant I go to eat, not socialize. Waitress with the humongous breasts was there as well: getting lots of tips by sitting and chatting with the guys. I would have given her a tip if she could tell me how much she paid for her surgery: gotta give her doc a high five and a beer or two.

  • Patrick L.

    Good food, big place, seemed clean and good prices. The staff was polite, quick & attentive. There are also plenty of TV's to watch whatever game is on so no matter where you sit you've got a view! My only complaint would be that the TV volume seemed a little loud. Even trying to communicate with people at our table was a bit if a challenge but nothing horrible.

    If you're in the city with a million amazing places to eat, but just can't stop your craving for gross, probably microwaved, surely poor food quality suburban chain restaurant options, this is it. At least Hooters has good wings. But I guess this place has more objectified women, so that's a plus, right? Sorry guys, I'm sure there's a group of people who enjoy this place but we only went with a gift card and would only return if we had one again...or maybe would give it to someone else.

    Tilted Kilt is just another Hooter's but on the pricier end of the spectrum. A few of us work down the street from TK and decided to meet up for their Monday $5 lunch menu. Our first lunch gathering was late June. We ordered classic big arse burger, grilled ham and cheese, and two orders of grilled chicken club. Each sandwich was $5 and we added a side of fries for $1 each. The portions were huge and we were attacked with food coma the moment we returned to our offices. Our second visit was mid-July and we noticed the portions shrunk a bit. We ordered two orders of each: French fries, grilled ham and cheese, and chicken club. It definitely wasn't as filling as our first trip but it was enough to satisfy our appetite. At least, we were able to stay awake after lunch and didn't fall asleep on our keyboards. In conclusion, the sandwiches were very typical. There was nothing particular especially since most of the spotlight is placed on mini plaid skirts and white blouses. And of course, we took pictures with the waitresses! Both visits were a Monday afternoon around 1pm. The place was barren with just a few tables yet they would always move at turtle speed with bringing the food and bill. They need to quicken their pace!

    Always a sucker for a good deal, the $4 Bud Lights make it worth a visit. It's a bit strange to take an escalator up into what looks like an office building, but once you get up it feels more like a bar. Pub may be a stretch to describe Tilted Kilt, and while the girls wearing short kilts an half shirts all in plaid are meant to make it feel more like an Irish spot, it resembles closer to a Hooters to me. Lots of TVs though, with a projection screen, making for easy sports watching. And, they are one of the few bars in the area that show the UFC.

  • Selena L.

    Typical bar food. We got the medium spicy wings and clams. The wings were definitely better than the clams, but that was to be expected. Outdoor seating is cool if you don't mind the trains overhead. Waitress was attentive and came down to check on us often.

  • Mike M.

    The food here is absolutely awful. Been twice, just in case. Burgers are hockey pucks. Hardest, dryest, most over cooked burgers I've ever seen attempted to be served. Arnold Palmer was basically just tea. Bar area ok, a couple pool tables and a dart board. Somewhat scantily clad waitresses isn't a huge draw.

  • Todd S.

    Went here for the first time today. Nice place, likeable décor and pretty girls. Service was a little slow considering the place was dead and I only ordered the pretzels and an Iced Tea. A few observations: There is very little signage on the street so its difficult to find the building its in. (its on the 2nd floor of a retail building which houses jewelers). The place could use a little more lighting, it was too dark in there!!!. I had the Bavarian pretzels which were really good, HOT AND FRESH. Their iced tea is good, too. I'll go back and try the food soon!!

  • Daniel N.

    So there is pretty much only one reason to come here. The garlic fries! HA! What did you think I was going to say? Kidding, there are plenty of reasons as to why I am a fan. Let me count the ways: 1. Large space with lots of room. It seems this place is never really packed, even during March Madness there was plenty of room at the bar. 2. Location. While there are lots of options in the loop area, this lacks the high price and the low dive-ness. I do love both the high class bars and the dive bars but each has their time and place. This is a great middle of the road option in the loop. 3. The food is actually pretty good. I find that most of the time where servers tend to draw more attraction than the food (*cough hooters cough*), the food tends to be lack luster. Seriously, even though I've only been here a couple of times, everything I've had has been great. The garlic fries are a great choice. The black bean wrap is fantastic (basically the only vegetarian option though). 4. Plenty of televisions. I came here during the first weekend of March Madness. I sat at the bar and was able to see all if not most of the games with a quick head turn. Can't wait for football Sunday and I'm hoping they will at least put on a couple of Cardinal games for me. 5. Friendly staff. Hey come on, they are here for tips and tend to be "overly" friendly. Which is great at a bar right? 6. Free wifi. It is funny how this is becoming a staple in whether or not I stick around your bar. I tend to work a lot in remote locations with a beer in hand. So if I can log in and order a pint, then I'm sticking around. 7. Lucky number seven, lets just say there is plenty to look at (get your head out of the gutter). I would, however, like to point out one down thing about this place. I really don't like places that have bathroom attendants. I understand they are there to make sure the bathroom is tidy at all times. I understand that it could be more so to "upscale" the place. But seriously, this is a chain restaurant not a high class location. I don't like the fact that I get "pressured" into tipping the bathroom attendant every time I want to wash my hands. I can grab my own soup, wave my own hand in front of the automatic towel dispenser, and turn on and off my water myself. I've been doing it now for about 36 years.

    It's a sports bar with barely dressed women waiting on you. They have a full bar with plenty of beer on tap. TVs everywhere and a couple pool tables. Waitress are usually friendly unless it's crowded then service slows down substantially. It's food is ok, the stew is the best thing on the menu. It's a good place to watch a game better place to watch desperate men strike out with waitresses. The decor is a pretty standard attempt at an irish pub.

  • Brian M.

    Sunday breakfast buffet during football season is worth the visit. The place isn't a bad place to spend time with your married friends. As all guys know, you can get married guys to go anywhere if the skirts on the waitresses are real short or the tops dip real deep. However, if you are planning on going somewhere and you don't need to entice the married men to come out from under their rocks, you can do better

    We came here kind of knowing what Tilted Kilt was about... and we only came for beverages. The space they have on the second floor is large; when we arrived (on a Wednesday evening) it was pretty dead. There were several people at the bar and a couple tables around the bar but that was it. Our service was awesome, as there were a couple bartenders and a barback working and so few customers. Luckily, a Bulls game had just ended and our bartender let us piggy back on to the specials they offer during games. We had 2 beers each - and they were reasonably priced especially for downtown Chicago. Yes, it is chauvinistic. The girls working hopefully realize they are being oogled by everyone, since there is not much left to the imagination. I do wish, however, that these girls would wear properly fitting bras and skirts. The few waitress/bartenders I did see all needed some tweaking with the outfits... A too small bra leads to the dreaded double boob, which is not attractive, and creates really bad lines under those white tops and may make it look like one has "back fat." And a too small skirt digs into the sides, making these thin girls look like they have love handles when they do not. I have nearly 7 yrs experience working part-time in a fashion retail store so I do have the authority to post this! Lol Maybe I would come back for food if I'm visiting the area - I would be more drawn to trying food if they are having a special. But at least I can say I've now been to a Tilted Kilt... and it was kind of "meh." Note: Not a "family friendly" environment. I would not recommend bringing children.

  • William B.

    I went back and forth with two or three stars. I settled with three since the food is good and it's the only sports bar in loop that plays UFC fights and is ever open on weekends. Service is bad. Takes forever to greet you and I only sit at the bar. Once they do they are always nice though. Its hit and miss with the crowd. It's not set up as well as the other tilted kilts I've been too but I keep coming back for the fights so it's not too bad.

  • Victor L.

    I completely see why nobody comes here for the food. Lol... Aside from the obvious the food is not that bad, but for what is worth, it's pricey. The mix drinks are kind of weak' but the Black & Blue (guinness & blue moon) is good. Awesome sports scene, great service, and the cleavage is complimentary!!! Its the ideal place to chill with da boiz. ; )

    First time ever at Tilted Kilt for lunch with a coworker today. The restaurant was comfortable and the staff were all friendly and beautiful. Miranda was fun. She took time for playful banter and done jokes. They don't take themselves too seriously and make it a fun environment. Regardless of kilts or khaki pants, they were professional, friendly, and ultimately served good, reasonably priced food. Thank you Miranda!

  • Fei W.

    I don't have a whole lot to say about this place. They've got a big space on the second floor of a building in the loop. Decent place to get a drink. Food is typical bar food. I got the fish & chips, which were satisfactory. I mean it's hard to go wrong with deep fried. It's probably an okay place to watch a game, though I'd say the TVs seem small to me. Maybe I wasn't in the right section. The review wouldn't be complete without mentioning the waitress uniforms. If you don't know what I'm talking about, google it, or be surprised. I was with a friend here on a Friday night and we ended up staying until last call, mostly because we were too lazy to find another place to drink. Definitely dead around then, and you'll probably want to Uber a cab b/c there won't be many driving by at that hour. It's a chain so whatever your personal feelings on chains are, it will probably validate them.

    When I walk into a place that has restaurant seating as well as bar seating I expect tables placed behind the bar to be in the bar. Not so here so we got no service. This is a horrible policy when that flour tyke changes after the dividing wall by the bar maybe you should consider that the bar!

    Waitress was awesome, but food was horrible, drinks were over priced. No cute girls, paid for valet to check out, and was disappointed. Waitresses were rude, and it was a sausage fest in there. I wish I didn't drop $120 in this place. Tilted Kilt, get new management,

    It's like as if Hooters turned into a divey dreary sports bar but instead of the girls dressing in orange shorts, they dressed like this. ( yelp.com/biz_photos/dVU0… ) Pretty big and roomy inside - so good for groups. ( yelp.com/biz_photos/dVU0… ) Surprisingly they don't do pitchers only buckets. 5 bottles of beers in a bucket of ice for $20 - MGD, Bud light, Coors light, and Old style - The Old style tasted like watered down PBR. ( yelp.com/biz_photos/dVU0… ) Simple and pretty mellow hangout to watch the game or play pool. The entrance from the street is sort of hidden, you have to go up an escalator to get here. ( yelp.com/biz_photos/dVU0… ) It's just ok

  • Carry L.

    The food is good depending upon what is ordered. The location sucks, so does parking. Along side that it's apparent that management does not care too much for the girls appearance. Sometimes their nails aren't done, hair/makeup aren't up to par. They should offer tanning and gym memberships to the girls. The girls wear little to nothing of clothing while they aren't toned in the stomach. They look like a horrible Irish hooters. They also need new management, the woman has a horrible attitude problem

  • Greg J.

    Thank god the food was great. I had the Shepherds pie and enjoyed it. Beer selection was of but a little slim for Chicago. The service was a total failure. Waited 15 min as waiter and waitress stood right in front of me. Waitress looked like a prostitute and apparently thought repeatedly bending over in front of me was going to help. Most of the waitresses looked this way and had the same bad attitude. Customer service is NOT a priority here. I guess if you are looking for skanky women in plaid skirts, you may enjoy this place.

  • Erin D.

    After the host at Miller's Pub down the street told us he wouldn't show the USA women's national team soccer game due to college football, he suggested this place. It should be noted Titled Kilt is upstairs, after you go up the small escalator. At first I was a bit perturbed by the scantily clothed women (not knowing what to expect), but I got over it as soon as the hostess said they'd show the soccer game. The business actually ended up putting the game on two televisions, which we were pleased to see. We only had drinks, but the waitress was extremely good. She came around every 15-20 minutes or so to check on us. Three of us had bottled drinks, so that's hard to mess up, but a friend ordered a hot coffee with kahlua. Instead of arriving in a typical coffee mug, the drinkware was more like a goblet. My friend said it was delicious. With being so accommodating after another bar denied us and having excellent service, I have to give this bar four stars. As a result, we've already started telling people about this place, since we tend to hang out with the soccer crowd. Thanks Tilted Kilt!

    I guess this place was pretty normal when it comes to drink and food selection and the service, and my Guinness was fine, but honestly I cannot remember much beyond the cleavage. It's a serious distraction. I couldn't stop watching the men talk to boobs and get all red-faced every time the bartenders or waitresses would serve them. I knew what I was in for coming here and it's not my thing, but my tourist male companions wanted to check it out, so I relented. First and last time.

    If you're going here, chances are you know what you're getting into. Sexy girls, average-below average food, and drinks. Lots of TVs and music. Honestly the service wasn't even that good, the food took awhile to get, and it didn't taste that great. The TVs were nice for the game that was on but the rest of the factors don't make for a great experience. The prices are okay, but the drink selection is fantastic. That might be the saving grace. You know what you're getting when you walk in. Service: 5/10 Atmosphere: 5/10 Food: 4/10

    I went to the Tilted Kilt this past weekend with a group of guys as part of a bachelor party. As other reviewers mentioned, they just recently opened and are still working out the kinks, so expect minor issues with service that should go away with time. Their space on the second level is huge, but is a little hard to find from the street unless you know it is there. I had the opportunity to sample the pulled BBQ Pork and Signature Wings, both of which were quite good, had a tasty sauce and were accompanied with some crunchy fries. Other people in our group had the Tilted Wings (just okay) and the Five Quid Squid (good). They have a standard beer selection that includes the standout TK Signature Draft, which is made by Pyramid and was all I drank while I was there. The atmosphere of this place is great, the staff is friendly and they have plenty of TVs for sports, making this easily one of the best bars in the loop. As time goes on, I expect this place to become continuously packed, especially as more tourists become aware of its existence. In addition, if you are the kind of guy who goes to Hooters, skip it next time and go to Tilted Kilt instead. Your stomach will thank me.

    been here many times read the reviews n had a lot to say to many of you who posted, 1st DO NOT COME TO TK IF YOU DONT WANNA LOOK AT HOT GIRLS WITH NICE BODIES! The place does not hide from the fact that the girls wear revealing clothes so if your gonna hate on them solely for that reason find something better to complain about or many since alot of these reviews about looks were from woman hit the gym your self. The girls are terribly sweet if you are nice to them, who likes someone rude blaming the quality of food on waitstaff? many tvs!!! and a new menu!! always fun if ur open minded!

    we got into chicago really late and wanted food after some drinks at our hotel. this place was really sort of creepy. drunk college guys in sweat pants skeeving on the bitchy, scantily-clad waitresses. our waitress at the bar was actually nice but everything felt rushed, like she knew the drunk dudes would tip her more than a gay couple would. lol

  • Blake H.

    disgusting. and not for the reasons you might think. i love the whole idea of girls dancing around for boys in dreamy/fantasy kilts with T&A. i mean it works...all the guys are drooling. however, its super loud, there is usually always a wait, depending on when you go, it usually takes a long time etc...we used to go because we honestly lived around the corner, but they don't have reasonable drink specials/happy hour/whatever. the last time we went i ordered chicken wings and they were 3/4 raw. so the waitress brought me out complimentary french fries. um, okay? we quit going because any of the other chainy/sportsbar/cheap food place in the loop is better than here. oh, and i can appreciate the fact that they have all the TVs on all the sports you want with the volume up loud, because it is that kind of place, but trying to eat under a movie-screen size TV with zoomed in UFC was hard to do. my friend got faint.

    You can never go wrong with an Irish pub. Cool Chicago sports ambiance. Excellent fried food. Good beer choices. Couldn't care less how the waitresses dressed. The creepy part was seeing them sit down and talk it up with the old men eating during a slow lunch hour.

  • Mironda R.

    A friend and I were roaming the streets and had to make a quick exec decision. He says to me we can go here or there (pointing at Tilted Kilt). He says this place is like a Hooters, but sorta gone wrong. I'm like ehh, I can watch the game so let's see what's what. As he promised, it was little girls walking around in said attire. I questioned their legality, but I digress and it was the least of my worries. We went in and decided to sit in an area between the bar and the dining area. Service was non-existent, then slow, but once we got started it was consistent. Ordered the salsa and chips.. had to doctor that up with some Tabasco and salt.. Then we opted for the wings and fries (doubled the order for only $6 bucks more). I forgot to tell her to fry the wings a little harder. Slimy wings are the worst. To my surprise, the wings were fried to PERFECTION and the fries were also crisp and fresh. Now the beer was a bit pricey but maybe its the location. I find $7 draft for Blue Moon a bit high and my friend ordered a bottle import that was about the same as well. I'd go back for the wings, but manage your expectations upon arrival!

    It's basically a Hooters, but Scottish themed. Seated near the window at a table top, that had a cool overlook to the street below. Drinks were fine, decent specials around games/events usually, and pretty decent crowd around us. The food was what brings this place down a bit though... Got the Southwest wrap and garlic fries, and let's just say I did not finish them. Garlic fries are basically fries that have garlicy oil just dumped on them, and were just gross/soggy. The Wrap has little flavor, and just had a ton of juice running out of it the whole time. Stick to the more regualr bar items (burger/sandwiches/wings) and you should have a good time between the Beer, Servers and TVs.

    I have been here a couple times before with my father and it's a decent place. There is NO complaint about the service, the waitresses are superb. With the food it's simply bar food like burgers and wings, they do have other options but those aren't as good because when your in a bar you might as well order that type of food since that is what they know how to make and it is what they make best. Though if it's beverages you are seeking then you have came to the right place with a fairly large amount beer on tap that you can never go wrong. For any sports fans they have a good amount of tv's and project screens for the latest sporting event or whatever is playing that night. So come here if your looking for a nice relaxing place to take a lunch/dinner break to slow down or catch a game with other fans.

    I've been here a couple times now for lunch, drinks after work, and a late night dinner. This Tilted Kilt is pretty much exactly what you would expect it to be. The food (mainly bar food) is solid. I like the wings, chicken tenders, garlic fries, etc... nothing will blow you away, but nothing will disappoint. I usually order whatever beer is on special and stick to it, which usually isn't a bad deal in the loop either. Obviously you come to Tilted Kilt expecting to be waited on by attractive women who aren't wearing much, which is cool... I'm on-board with that being a nice perk. But what I do think is kinda weird, is that there's a bunch of guys coming around cleaning off plates and wiping down your table, but I can't actually order a drink from that guy... I have to wait until the hopeless, married, businessman at the next table is done hitting on my waitress before I can get a refill on my beer. Why can't the guy washing my table and plates just fill it up? I'm quite sure it'll still be tasty...

    Wandered in off the street after receiving a call from the child who borrowed my van to let me know "It caught on fire, I don't know how it happened, and the fire department says it's probably totaled!" So......I needed a beer. Ordered the beer of the month, a Newcastle Werewolf. It was cold. Had some cheese beer soup. It was alright, but have had better. Menu was bar food. It is a really big sports bar with some cool video machines around the building and I like that the tables are not on top of each other. I sat by the window and watched the people, and trains going by on Wabash....it was mid-afternoon. They have a really large bar, a lot on tap, and an enormous wide open dining area with tons of tv's. Enjoyed watching the guys at the bar ogling the little waitresses in their tiny scottish kilts and cropped white tops. It is Hooters, if Hooters girls were 6th graders with boobs and wearing cooter-kilts. Everyone was friendly though, and it is a convenient loop location near Clark/Lake to grab a beer.

    Went there with a girlfriend to grab a beer and food before a concert and was one of the only places around where we could get a beer. So I've eaten at hooters but this was like eating at a strip club... bunch of creepy dudes staring at half clothed girls. Whatever, if that's what you're there for that's fine (super lame in my opinion but hey who am I to judge) but the food was over priced and not good at all. Left $20 lighter after a beer and a half salad, was still hungry and felt a little disturbed.

    Good bar food. The group I was with did about 8 apps. Trying different things. Nothing was amazing, most were good to very good. Better than any Hooters I've been to. If I had children, I might not take them there. Kind of close to a fetish style place to eat. If you are a single male, or married and away on business, you will thank me later. Servers were top notch. Will go back again.

    The service was ok, the store manager walked the perimeter if the restaurant, never asking customers how things are but had fun with the girls and his phone. The fish was good and the beer was good and cold. But a poor atmosphere, no reason for it.

    Have not eaten here for lunch or dinner, only parties. We have had two events here for Christmas Parties. We worked with Mike both times. He was vrey helpful. He worked with us on the set-up and food choices. He was able to get us everythign we needed within our budget. We had an appetizer buffet for 25. The buffet was set up nicely for our group so that it was semi-private. I only gave two stars because the food is not that great. Typical bar food, nothing special. I have eaten in Tilted Kilts in the Burbs and the food has always been much better.

  • Morris N.

    This location is older than the TKs I usually go to in the burbs. Overall it's not my top pick when in the loop because there are so many other options. Food is ok but again so many better options in the area.

    I've been to the Tilted Kilt in the suburbs, but not to this location in the city. I used to live in the suburbs, but now I live in CA. I was catching up with friends in the City while I was in town and my co-worker from CA happened to be in town too. I suggested we go to TK for drinks because I thought he would find the servers amusing. The food and drinks were ok, but the service was awful! After we were seated, it took a while before a server came to take our drink order. And even after that, it took forever for us to get our drinks. I got hungry, so I decided to order a flatbread pizza. And of course, that took a while to bring that out as well. While I was waiting for my pizza, I checked with a server about my pizza, and she explained that they only have one oven to cook pizzas, so that's why it was taking so long. I seriously wanted to ask the server for our check before my pizza came out because I knew it would take her forever to bring it to us. My friends and I had to explain to my coworker that the Tilted Kilt(s) in the suburbs were a lot better than this one. We ended up going somewhere after we ate my pizza for more food and drinks. If you want to eat/drink at Tilted Kilt, go to a different location. The service here was just unacceptable.

    So, I thought it was like...a pub. This is more of a Disney pub for Dicks. Titties galore indeed. I love a nice rack as much as the next person, but not really with my food. (No-really, they are poppin' and hard to keep your eyes off of) I think it may work more for a one of my girls (or guys) night out, but surely not your significant other. I think I may try to come again on a weekday for quality service. Bar keep was rude, though they had enough staff on board. I think mine were bigger than hers, maybe why drinks were poorly poured and tasted like a melted down Otter Pop. Look, it was a Friday, and I was looking to leave the city tipsy. I ended up at Miller's down the way instead.

  • Rich B.

    I do not think I gave ever been a bar with worse customer service. My buddy and I sat at the bar and it took 15 minutes for the bartender to acknowledge us (even though she walked past us at least twice.) we order our beers and then we are forgotten about. We reminder the bartender and she says I am busy wait (she was to busy taking shots btw.) We finally get our beers with a dirty look from the bartender and ask for food menus. We drink our beers and decide to leave since we never the menus. We ask for our bill wait about 10 minutes and finally ask a server what our beers cost and leave cash and walk out. The place was a third full tops and there were 6 other people sitting at the bar. I am sorry but when I go to a bar I do not need much but at least staff who provide customer service without having to be asked twice when the place is empty.

    Bar specials are just ok. We didn't try any food. Lots of hot girls. Tons of tvs with different channels. I have no problem w/scantily clad girls. But now hear this TK - if you have a drinking establishment, you need to give people a decent place to pee or they will not want to come back and drink - especially the ladies! Oh, and there's also a little thing/law about making sure your employees can wash their hands after using the bathroom to prevent e-coli and other dreaded diseases! The women's bathroom was atrocious which is totally opposite of what I would have expected. Since there are few female patrons and lots of female staff, you'd figure the restroom would be pristine - a shrine even - for the staff to primp. NOT ! The very first stall was out of toilet tissue - and they have the gianormous rolls. How is it even possible to let that run out? Anyhow, when exactly do you think I discovered this lack of tissue? Yes, you guessed it - right after I peed and was sitting there dripping and swearing like a truck driving sailor. What to do? What to do? I waited for the one other person in there to leave -- bouncing up and down a few times to get any drips to fall. Then I made a mad dash out of that stall into the next one - pants around my knees. And the second stall was gross. It had not been flushed recently but ahh, sweet relief, there was plenty of tissue. BUT then I tried to flush and nothing happened. As I left that stall, I noticed two other stalls (out of 5 or 6 total) were marked with Out of Order signs. The horror only continued once at the sink - more swearing. They were out of soap! Unbelievable! And these women are serving food and don't have soap to wash their hands after using the bathroom. BLECH! Sooooo, on my way out the door, I stopped at the hostess stand where no fewer than 5 cuties were standing around doing jack crap nothing. I told them the restroom needed serious attention and was out of soap and tp. I was temped to stick around for a bit to see if someone took care of things but I'm betting they went back to their conversation and forgot all about it. Yes, most of them were blonde.

    Meh, nothing special. Lots of tv's, but it's downtown Chicago and there are 43 other places. They do have an indoor driving range on the floor above that is awesome. They messed up our order. The french dip had maybe a 1/6 lb of meat on it. The bread was good. and the Au jus was good, but just not enough ummmph to the sandwich. Fries were fair. We did get to watch someone get towed from our window seat. Go somewhere else. And I like redheads and kilts.

  • Errol B.

    I can't speak for the food because I didn't order any when I went. I had been wanting to check this new chain out for a long time and just got around to it. They have some smokin' women working at this location. It has a great variety in ethnic and racial back rounds too. I will go back. This is a place you don't go to eat at or get good service. You just go to look at half naked women and drink beer.

    I wish they had one of these in Miami! Yes, it is like a Hooters, but BETTER. The food is a step up, the atmosphere is great and the uniforms are outstanding. I watched the Heat beat the Bulls (yes I was alone rooting for the Heat but I obviously survived). Great place to kick back and watch sports.

  • Callie P.

    Let me start by saying being a woman, I have really no problem with the servers wearing skimpy outfits...to me not a big deal and if you want to flaunt what your parents or sugar daddy paid for be my guest. But seriously these girls were NOT fit to be wearing the uniforms that were given. Yeah they had the chest area filled but the cellulite and stomach fat falling over the tops of their skirts was pretty disgusting. That being said, myself and 2 other girls went into Tilted Kilt on a Wednesday afternoon to have some drinks before a concert...the place was pretty much dead so we sat at the bar. Our bartender was awesome, he was friendly and knowledgeable of all of the drinks we asked him about. We didn't eat so I can't comment on the food. I probably wouldn't go back just because the drinks were extremely pricey, then again it's Chicago and EVERYTHING is pricey here. Other than that it was a good time

  • Brian F.

    I like the Tilted Kilt franchise. The restaurants are a great place to hang out with friends, have a couple of beers, and enjoy some darn good bar food. The quesadillas and the grilled chicken wings are my favorite menu items. This particular location, though, just doesn't excite me. The waitresses don't seem particularly friendly and the restaurant itself is dark and depressing. I would not go out of my way to come here.

    Been to another TK in the burbs and comparably this one was OK. Good service, food was mediocre (salty), but what can you expect for bar food? The servers were all business here too. Take your order, serve the food. Usually they would chat up the tables. Our group was there for Fantasy Football draft so maybe it wasn't the right time anyway...

    I stumbled into this place by accident while wondering downtown Chicago. I was starving and literally went into the first place I saw. The food was terrible. Typical bar food. I ordered a salad with fried chicken tenders.It was literally a plate of iceberg lettuce with a few chopped tomatoes and three pieces of chicken. I asked for a side of cheddar cheese to add some excitement to the salad, however the restaurant only had sliced cheese. The service was just okay, probably because the waitress are usually catering to men. It is a nice place to meet a man if you are single, 80% of the customers were men. I hate to give it such a bad review just because its not my style. The positives are: Nice Atmosphere for a bar with plenty TV's and spacious The actual bar food people ordered around me looked good...especially the wings. I wish I had tried the Irish Potatoes. Reasonable prices Great beer selection, lots of local beer on tap.

    Anyone who knows my wife and I in real, know we A) are flirts and B) have a bizarre sense of humor. So on the day we went to city hall to get our civil union of course we needed the perfect place to celebrate afterwards. Why not something out there and fun like the raunchy Tilted Kilt? When in Texas we frequented Hooters. Mainly for the fried pickles. And then the never well endowed waitresses would love sitting with us for some much needed relief from the cowboy testosterone. I could see the pictures to show the family now. Us with our newly printed license with a busty "Scottish" chick in between! How proud Mom and Dad would be! That's not what happened. Our waitress was not playful. Not fun. no smile even. And decided to wait and conserve that energy for the guys walking in. My wife even mentioned what we just came from doing and the girl brushed the comment aside. The food wasn't terrible though and the beers were cold. It was a bit creeper in there though. HUGE space and terribly empty for a Friday lunch time. Just a few tables and girls making sure they concentrated on them. If anything it was great people watching - the workers and the patrons. But I'll head to Hooter's next time. They know cute girls who if you flirt with them you'll get a bigger tip when they see them!

    I came here last night as the lone hen in the rooster house looking for some strange after the White Sox game. LOL. Just kidding. Seriously, I came in around 10:30 pm with six other rowdy boys who were in need of some drinks, munchies, and eye candy......and these rowdy boys wanted it all stat. One drunken boy was hitting on our server pretty bad, so she was timid from the start. The service wasn't the best, but I can't really blame her due to the aforementioned. I would have avoided the boys at our table, too. We ordered the mozzarella sticks, potato skins, and "tilted guilt." The mozzarella sticks were nice and crispy, the potato skins were damp and oily, and the cookie in the "tilted guilt" was a little too sugary but still awesome.....only wished it was bigger. I really liked all the big screen TVs and would venture back here to check out UFC or some football game. Next time, in hopes for better service, I'll leave the rowdy boys at home......

    I think I should have checked Yelp before walking into this place. Had I done that I probably wouldn't have gone in especially as a single female. I was staying in the area and just wanted a casual beer. Immediately upon walking in I noticed that it was basically ALL MEN which I thought was odd and then I saw the bartender and it all made sense. Just no. I basically chugged my beer and bounced as quickly as possible. I'm not a prude. I get what's going on, it is geared towards men. It just had a creepy vibe and I felt uncomfortable. I hope those women are handsomely paid.....

    This is my favorite sports bar in the loop. It's great place to eat and/or watch sports. I visit often and the food, service and atmosphere never disappoints. It can be a it noisy at times but it IS a sports bar so what do you expect? During one visit, we had problem with our order and the manager came over to take care of it. He was polite, professional, courteous and seemingly genuinely concerned about our needs rather than attempting to simply serve the restaurant's agenda. I know this place sometimes gets a bad wrap for the attire the women wear but I don't see anything wrong it. The women employed there have CHOSEN to work there. No one forced them.

  • F O.

    I'm not confused about myself so I don't try to hit on the cute waitresses like the younger guys do. I don't even really need the small amount of fake flirting that sort of comes with the job. I do need food that doesn't suck and just the smallest bit of courtesy from a waitress. I didn't get either one of those here. I like to go to Hooters. The waitresses are always nice and I think the food is really good. The Tilted Kilt doesn't have good food. I've been there twice to watch football and UFC and both times my food was just bad. Once my burger was cold like they were waiting for the fries because the fries were really hot. There's lots of TVs but the don't sell pitchers of draft beer. It's just too expensive to have rude waitresses and bad food. I'm giving it an extra star for good TVs and UFC fights but I'd give them one and a half stars if I could.

    This was my second visit to the Kilt - similar to many gals, I have been coerced into going by my guy friends. The catalyst for this visit was a rainstorm deluge and proximity. We were happy to be inside. It's fine for me - they have beer and the food is OK. It's fantastic for guys, though. I prefer this one to Hooters!

  • Matt S.

    This is a good place to go with the guys (or girls maybe). All the waitresses have little outfits on with lots of skin showing. Yummy! Food and drink were pretty standard for a bar + restaurant. Don't expect the finest of dining here. Just soak up the sights and sounds here during your night out. Live music on Saturdays are nice. TK is close to the Washington Blue Line stop so getting there is nice and easy for me! We drove there once and parking was a little tough.

    I've actually never even heard of a Tilted Kilt until I was asked to deal for a third-party charity poker game at this establishment. There is an escalator when you enter, that takes you up to the restaurant (kinda cool at first, but kinda annoying if you have to use it multiple times throughout the day). This is actually a really nice place to host poker games, they fit nearly 8 or 10 poker tables throughout the area, and there was still some decent space for patrons and wait staff to get by. Not gonna lie, the main reason me, or any guy really, would like this place is because the wait staff is attractive (college girls, short KILTS, and tight white tops), although over the years they've been looking worse. Their wings are good, as well as their fries, good bar food (don't really think much of their burgers). Service lags during busy hours, but they're on the ball for the most part. There are PLENTY of tv's so you'll be able to watch a game from almost every angle. Clean washrooms.

  • Beto D.

    As you probably know you have to go up to the second floor to get to the restaurant - no big deal. As a matter of fact, if you get a table near the windows it's a nice view of the L...that is if you are into trains. The interior of the restaurant is well kept with a pool table and darts if you want to "hang out" for a bit...flat screens everywhere as well. The restrooms were clean. They have plenty of selections for alcohol and the food is ok but not great. I had the grilled wings with a side of veggies, not too bad but nothing to tell your buddies about. Now...if you are going to a Tilted Kilt for the employees - go to another Tilted Kilt.

    I came yesterday night with my brother to watch TNFootball. Great number of tv's and big screen with audio also. Sat in the bar.

    Double cougar sighting!! When: Sunday 11/8/09 Time: Approx 5pm Last seen wearing matching Bears shirts, lots of obnoxious make up, and tight jeans. The cougars, thought to be in their mid 40's, were armed with vodka cranberry drinks and their Blackberries. One cougar was simultaneously flirting with 2 married men, while the other was juggling 3-4+ men, including a Vegas lounge singer, a man who worked at the Tilted Kilt, a random guy who approached the bar to order another drink.... you get the idea. In addition to the entertaining cougars, I can recall seeing unbelievable amounts of boobs and pierced navels. This place is ridiculous. I felt like I was at North Ave. beach with the scantily clad girls, fake tans, beer, and testosterone. However, if you want to be a cool girlfriend/wife go with your main squeeze and let them gawk at boobies. I found it entertaining at the very least. PS: Be careful--cougars pounce!

  • David R.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA! This is the greatest/most ridiculous place on earth! I can't believe that they are so utterly shameless. I had a few people tell me that this place would be right up my alley. Because I love hot women and Anglo-Gaelic booze? I guess. Based on the description, I was expecting just short skirts and knee socks; I really assumed that it was just flirty and innocent. Instead, I found plaid micro-skirts, exposed midriffs, dubious all-body tans, impossible cleavage, and brazen pandering to the heterosexual male brain stem. Look, I won't lie: I looked (and looked and looked and looked), and I enjoyed it. These women are hot, they show a staggering amount of skin, and any bend beyond five degrees from upright will show their knickers. Some of these women are naturally well-endowed (very), and some are utilizing push-up bra technology to an astonishing extreme (VERY). Thankfully, it all seemed more ludicrous than sleazy. I guess that it's all in good fun, and certainly nobody is holding a gun to these girls' heads. And I'm sure that this establishment will make plenty of money. For the sake of my own self-esteem, it won't be any of mine, though. I can't even think of this place without laughing hysterically. For what it's worth: they have numerous TVs for your football-watching pleasure; decent beer prices ($5 or $6 for a 20-ounce pint); and enough of a selection to avoid shitty American macro-brews. They claim to have a lot of whiskies, but it's really only about a dozen. PS: Major cougar alert on a Sunday late afternoon/early evening.

  • Damian B.

    Mediocre at best, really. With a bit of a "Hooters" type Irish theme, I wasn't expecting much. Service was just fine, but the first strike was that they didn't have Old Style, "did I just teleport to some magical place that looks like Chicago but isn't???" how are you not going to have Old Style in Chicago? Unfortunately over my week long stay in the Windy City, I found this disturbing trend more prevalent than I would have imagined. I got fish and chips, which I would have expected to be higher than substandard when delivered by a girl in a kilt, I was wrong. The pieces were pretty small and looked like preformed cubes of "phish" (they said Cod but, aren't they almost extinct?), the chips more like McDonalds fries, not impressed. At least I was sure they were SOME kind of fish, as it smelled, like fish. Overall, I hate to give just 2 as our server was very nice but, hey, I doubt I'll be back.

  • Andre W.

    This could possibly be the best bar I have ever been to!!!! First of all, the hot chicks wearing kilts and serving me is great! Taking an escalator to a bar is a rarity here in Chicago, but it had an elegant feeling to it as I was able to look at my gorgeous self in the mirror as I rode up to see my kilted beauties...I mean partake in some drinks. This bar is really spacious...definately not the typical elbow to elbow table to table downtown bars. All the waitresses were very nice to our table of 4. Not an ugly chick in site! Televisions everywhere playing so I could see every angle of PTI and Around the Horn as well as some news. The have darts,video games and pool tables so you can definately get your competitive fix here. They even have a laptop setup for those that want to web surf. The beer menu is cool as well...no German beer, but they had Hooegarden. The wings were nice and spicy (not Hooters spicy). Really huge space and a great addition to the downtown afterwork drinking scene

    Bidh modhail! Instead of the Tilted Kilt, this place should be called The Scantily Clad in Plaid. Slainte, indeed. Eeeee, Hooters has nothing on them. Idk, ya'll. This is almost like a gentleman's club sans stripping, and allowance of alcohol. I promise you. Look up 'sexy plaid costumes' and you'll come across exactly what the waitresses are wearing there. Personally, I think it's a tasteless gimmick that makes Hooters and Hustler Restaurant look a lot better. But, that's me. I'm giving this place 3-stars for 2 reasons. They have grilled chicken wings, and their drinks are strong. I love eating chicken wings while out. Since I can't eat fried food anymore, I've had to miss out on the fun. For grilled chicken wings, I can manage tackiness. Add heavy handed drinks on top of that, and you have an Aise that will just plain ignore it all. Maybe I can say this because I went on a weeknight when there wasn't many patrons. I also had a decent amount to drink before arriving. So, when this expansive venue (it's pretty big for where it is) is filled with lots of men ogling the bare midriffs and endless supply of open cleavage, would I still feel the same? Not sure. I may just need to stick to slow weeknights with this spot so I never find out. The grilled chicken wings are full of win, and I just can't mess that up right now.

  • Taeler H.

    I'd like to start by saying this place isn't as bad as I thought it'd be, I'm giving it four stars for friendly service and tasty food...and lunch specials. I thought after the recent talk about tilted kilt employees filing sexual harassment claims that this wouldn't be a place that I'd like to go. It's similar to Hooter's with just as good of food. My friend and I stopped in for lunch and took advantage of the 5 for $5 lunch special, 5 great full sized menu items for just five bucks attracted me before I came in. Anyway, I got the chicken club sandwich and my friend got the big arse burger, we were both very satisfied and always get fries when you come here, they're de-lish-uss! Idk what kinda waitresses some of the reviewers had, but our waitress was very nice. She (Natalia?) sat down with us (which we didn't need cuz we aren't guys at a club, but it was cool) and helped us decide what we wanted. She told us about the lunch specials and drink specials, she even walked up to the bar with me to help me decide what I wanted! Once at the bar I met Melissa who was very cool, she sampled a coffee drink on me and one other guy at the bar and I thought I'd hate it, but it was good! I recommend this place for a great lunch outing as long as you can get past seeing body parts while you eat. Oh, and make sure you check in here on Facebook or foursquare (and yelp?) for discounts off your bill!

    Putting aside the obvious and only reason this place exists... let's be real, the food simply is not good. It's overpriced, greasy, and very unoriginal. The service is also really slow, so not a recommended place to try during lunch. Yeah, it's an okay place to watch games cus it has tons of tv's, and the drinks aren't so bad, but there are much better places to spend your money (just sayinggg).

    A mediocre review for a mediocre place- After enjoying ourselves at Millennium Park last Monday night, my gal pal who wanted to drink some more suggested Tilted Kilt. I guess she knew the lure of a cold beer with some leg and boobs (not hers, mind you) would lure me in. The TK is drab green with tons of Scottish golf memorabilia hung on the walls. The young waitresses dress in knee stockings and short short Kilt skirts and low-cut blouses. The women hang all over guys, flirting for big tips. They ignored us, because I guess they figured we were on a date, or weren't interested, or weren't big tippers. This place has a ton of televisions and big screens, one seemed to take up a whole wall. Definitely a place to watch the Big Game, etc. I didn't try the food, and may be back just to try the Nachos, natch; but otherwise will skip it!

    We ordered burgers and they were delivered medium just as we ordered them. Very, very good burgers. Great atmosphere and the food was brought to our table very fast. I recommend you stop in and have a bite.

    Oh man, this place is so creepy. I thought it was going to be like Hooters - you know, unbelievably short skirts, cleavage-bearing shirts, low IQs and other such insanity. However, this place was worse. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not a radical feminist who cares about these things. Women can take a job as a whore-like server in a restaurant and this does not bother me. However, when the servers have such a sad look of degradation on their faces while they are at work, I am bothered beyond belief. This place was just even more sad than Hooters. The male bartenders and bus boys were obviously ogling the ladies in the most disgusting way and some even went as far as to touch their asses and other body parts. Management was present and didn't seem to care - it seemed more like a company policy that needed to be enforced. Soooo creepy. Our server seemed pretty dumb (I like Jason B.'s Miss South Carolina comparison) and she was a bitch. I usually never think of waitresses as bitches but she really was. She was just super ho-ish and totally full of herself. She was obviously giving more attention to her male clients than us, but we just want to eat some food, man. She informed me that "Of course we don't have soup" (what? pubs serve soup in real life) and was just a total weird bitch. Gross. At least she had brain function enough to refill our pop without prompting. My mom liked her burger and I thought the chili I ordered was less than OK. Even the food couldn't redeem this weird, creepy, alternate universe-like experience. I get why guys like to come here but seriously, a lot of these ladies look like they're dead on the inside. That just creeps me out so much. I came in here by accident (it was in the building where I get my hair done) and I'll never come back. And I highly, highly advise you to do the same. *shudder*

    Am in Chicago for a week's work and this was near my hotel so I thought I'd give it a try as a place to simply have a drink and wind down. I've been to the one in Tempe/Chandler, so I know the concept, scene, etc. The space is nice but the staff is terrible. I wouldn't say rude, but completely disinterested in customer service. Rote. Disengaged. Not the least bit friendly. Good space. Bad attitude.

    Went here today for my going away luncheon by myself. Was set at what I like to call the Bitch table: right in front of the bar, but off to the side. Very noisy due to it being packed for some reason on a Thursday afternoon. Ordered a bowl of chili, which was passable but not memorable, and a Jalapeno burger. Burger as good, but the jalapenos weren't. Sat there without getting any attention from my waitress or any other ones. Its just as well though: when I go to a restaurant I go to eat, not socialize. Waitress with the humongous breasts was there as well: getting lots of tips by sitting and chatting with the guys. I would have given her a tip if she could tell me how much she paid for her surgery: gotta give her doc a high five and a beer or two.

    I was in Chicago for Superbowl weekend - where to watch the Patriots demise??? After explaining our game watching criteria: "man cave away from home", lots of large TV's, lots of beer and greasy ass bar food - to our bartender at the hotel, we asked his recommendation for a spot to watch the game. The Tilted Kilt was his recommendation. The Tilted Kilt met all of our criteria - and to our surprise upon arriving, added a little Hooters- like atmosphere as well. We had a great time. They had plenty of tv's, and offered raffles and a big block pool to keep things lively. We sat at the bar where Melissa was our bartender. Great service, and entertaining! It was exactly what we expected and were looking for - just a bar. Hence the 4 stars. The only negative was the attendant in the men's room. Really? In a sports bar? That was just annoying and useless! J

    Raunchier than Hooters, but the food isn't as good. Service not so great. Waitress will forget that you ordered anything and then overcharge you. The drinks are weak and overpriced. Come here if you're a creepy old man. Trust me, you'll enjoy it.

  • An P.

    I don't understand the appeal of this place but at the same time I don't understand the hate. Tilted Kilt is a regular bar in the Scottish theme of Hooters, think scantily clad women wearing skimpy outfits and kilts. This investor run franchise chain offers not the warmth of a pub owner but in the same note does not offer the horrendous crassness of a two bit dive. No, Tilted Kilt is a nice place, well kept and very clean as you would expect out of a nice bar downtown, and there is an OK selection of beer. Food I didn't find to be anything special but it wasn't terrible either. I don't have much of a problem with Tilted Kilt but I find it hard to find anything special or anything they do particularly well. They have Golden Tee for those of you interested, however their darts are plastic which leaves me uninterested to play. There are plenty of TVs in Tilted Kilt and a pool table, so knock yourself out if that is your thing.

    Are you joking me? This place is Titty-Land. Chicks wearing next to nothing with their silicone spilling out (okay, maybe there's something natural in those cups, but I wasn't seeing it). Packed with men (duh) and in-between watching the game on giant flat-screens they can ogle the girls with the giant...yeah. Seriously, this place is ridiculous...just over the top, ridiculous. The hostess was friendly and the server was prompt but I couldn't wait to get the hell outta there. PS, for the few dudes who work there, why aren't they wearing some skimpy manties? I think it's only fair that the girls get some eye-candy too! PPS, I think I saw a couple on a date here, what??!? PPPS, bonus to being outnumbered 10 to 1 by men, no wait at the ladies room. Score!

    Everybody knows what a Tilted Kilt is, and usually I would rate a restaurant like this a 3/5 or less. However, I have eaten at this restaurant many times with my coworkers, and we always receive our food extremely fast. Furthermore, their food is good - not fantastic, not terrible, but acceptably good. The waitresses aren't always attentive. Sometimes you'll get a waitress who would rather sit with another customer at their table and talk for 15 minutes, instead of take your order after you've been seated. Not to mention the busboys who prowl the floor and look extra creepy while they look for plates to take. This place is worth a try, you'll probably enjoy it!

    My friend and I were cold and hungry and so we went into the first eatery we saw in the loop. My first impression told me that it looked like a sports bar. Then the noise factor set in, and I thought it might be too loud for us to even hear each other. At first the hostess told us that it would be a 20-minute wait. So my friend asked if we could go somewhere else where the noise level isn't as loud, and the hostess immediately told us that she has just the table for us. She sat us down, and ok, the noise level isn't as bad as before but it was still pretty loud. Anyway, I like that they serve Guinness. The pulled pork sandwich that I ordered wasn't bad either but I couldn't really taste the BBQ Guinness sauce. I didn't really like the fries though; it was a bit too salty. The women workers.... This place made me think of a Scottish version of Hooters but I've never been to Hooters. Great place for people to oogle at boobs if that's what you're looking for.

    Food is sub-standard. I've gone three times and the wings were all over the map in taste. Also, tilted kilts are not the attraction, but they couldn't call it Shrunken Brassiere.

  • Alan C.

    My friend told me this place had girls in kilts and showed a lot of cleavage, it was like a version of Hooters so obviously I got excited and had pretty high expectations. This place was not like Hooters at all. Although they had good happy hour prices for beers and lots of TVs with all kinds of sports games on, the girls here were pretty busted. The two bartenders we had were really nice though. I guess I'm just spoiled being from Cali.

    Came here with a friend on a Sunday evening before catching a show at the Chicago Theatre. Figured we'd see what the big deal was. Well the place was 3/4 empty (football season was over, so we got a good look at the decoration. While I may reccomend tilted kilt to view a soccer or hockey game, the service and food leave a lot to be desired. My friend ordered the irish nachos (more chips than topping. Some of the chips were stale, the rest were soggy. Topping was bland unseasoned ground beef and that artificial processed cheese sauce. My take: if you're going to serve any kind of nachos either use fresh cheese or don't bother. Would've been better off with the kettle chips alone. Same goes for the spinach dip I ordered. Plenty of tortilla chips, but there was hardly any spinach in what eemed like whipped topping with green food coloring. While the burgers across the table LOOKED promising, we didn't have time to order an entree. Since the place was three quarters empty, there would be no justifying the servers all huddled up at the hostess' booth with the busboy (especially when we are trying to pay the check and get going) Finally, anyone going there for the eye candy might be surprised there too. Waitresses will look nothing like the advertisements (no surprise there) For the record, I'm a straight man who's had the good fortune of studying in Europe for nine months (lived 5 minutes away from the beach. So Yes, I've seen plenty). My opinion on the skimpy outfits? They'd be fine if the servers were in shape. But when you re seeing boobs hanging 3/4 of the way down to a woman's hips, or muffin tops hanging over the plaid skirt, I think it defeats the whole purpose of the scantily clad outfit. I'm sure that if the pub were featuring male servers in skin tight shirts (for the women's amusement), they would most likely be required to stay physically toned. Just saying that this should apply to both genders in this kind of environment. Like I said before, tilted kilt might be a nice place to view a game or even check out the live bands they have occasionally. But make sure you go and eat (and drink) somewhere else first. one star

  • Dawn A.

    Ok, I like tatties as much as the next person, but this place was a big giant NO. We stopped in to see a local band that was playing and the place was not overly crowded, but that didn't stop the waitress honies from ignoring us for a good 30 minutes. My bestie got so desperate she fanned out 5 twenty dollar bills and started waving them frantically at every kilted chippie within a 7 table radius. I was almost to the point of borrowing somebody's penis and waving it around to get some attention when we finally managed to snag a server. She was adorable, but that didn't make up for the "doubles" we ordered, which in actuality had less liquor in them than a normal watered down libation at the corner pub. We got a total of 4 drinks, so imagine my shock when the tab came and it was $61 FREAKING DOLLARS. ARE YOU SHITTING ME? I am not a cheap-ass when it comes to partying, but WHAT NOW?? Generic decor, 10,000 big screens, blah blah zzzzzzzzzzzzz... And now Yelp wants me to recommend the "best nights" to visit. Uh, the 12th of never, perhaps? NO.

    WOW... Came here March 17th (St. Patty's) it was my first time here. I came here with some friends about 8 of us. I will give one compliment and then I am going to rip this place apart. The manager was very nice and quick accommodating a large party. That is my one compliment. Granted it was St.Patricks Day, however I did not think our waitress would be HAMMERED!!! When I say hammered she was seriously out of control, it took her over 25 minutes to get our drinks. When we went up to her after 15 minutes, she had no clue what we ordered (almost like she had no clue who we were). In the mean time she was basically lifting her shirt up to show men her boobs (kid you not) Every time she came to our table she would sit down and put her hands all over everyone at the table, men and women. She then decided to tell us how she was super hammered, she told us that she started drinking at 10am. Seriously it clearly showed, she was standing on the chair and basically rubbing her body down! She proceeded to tell us that she does not take men home with her from the bar, but then decided to tell us about her sex life. TERRIBLE experience!! I have no problem going to a restaurant were the women were revealing clothing, but she was just ridiculous. I will NEVER go back!!!!

    UGGGGHHH! SUPER nasty bathroom! I almost lost my sub-par food trying to tinkle here. I decided to order the Irish Stew. Why does the words Irish+Stew make one think that they will receive a hearty meal. Oh, it was quite the opposite. It was straight out of a big can. GROSS! I took one bite and sent that CRAP back. Instead I decided to order the fettucini w/sausage. Also sub-par. I thought I was eating an Italian beef with all the onions and bell peppers! UUUGH! When I sent my plate back the waitress had a visible attitude. Which was also equally disgusting...seeing as it was my first time here, it was just unnecessary. To add fuel to fire, the bus boy cleaned up the table before we finished or ordered dessert. Beyond rude. This place needs to CLOSE. Might I add that they DO NOT CARD! I know I don't look 21 (although I am), so the fact that I could order drinks....was pretty crappy. Not to mention that there looked like quite a few male minors in the crowd. tsk. tsk.tsk. First time and last time.

    It is very apparent that they hire girls here solely on how they look, because every girl who I have come in contact with that works here is as dumb as a pile of bricks. My name is Erin. It's a typical, common name. It took the hostess like 5 minutes to spell it correctly. Seriously. Our waitress was a lot better than the hostess but still kind of slow in the head. Food was okay. Typical bar food like burgers and nachos, sandwiches and wraps. Tap selection was pretty stellar including Hoegaarden and Leffe . The place was really clean and nicely decorated with a modern Irish pub feel. They had flat screen tv's covering like 70% of the wall space. If you're in the area - check it out. Especially if you are a guy who like starring at boobies while you eat. Since I don't fit that description, I probably won't be back.

    I kept hearing of the competition that "Hotters" had. I needed to go and see what the hoopla was all about. Guess what? Wasn't as impressed as I thought. The difference is so much! Yes, for circuses they do have a better look than hooters, and this time around they included guys in the mix with kilts, but the food, at best was okay. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying they are bad in the least, but I think that for the wait and for the money, it didn't measure up. Hey, the women are beautiful and the place has a good vibe, but no, I didn't see the competition. I was waiting for fire in the air but didn't get it. Maybe I went on a bad night (Friday), but whatever, it didn't measure up to the hoopla. Sorry kids. I guess I will stick to Hooters for sure.

    I ordered my food through Grubhub last night and when the driver arrived to my building to drop off the food, he didn't have an ID so I had to go downstairs and meet him at the front desk. Prior to meeting him at the font desk, it took him about 10 minutes between my building calling me and getting my approval to let him in and him checking in to figure out that he didn't have his ID. By the time I got my food upstairs and was able to eat it, it was room temperature and soggy. I ordered the chicken tenders which were incredibly chewy, thin and so gross that I couldn't finish them. Dinner was a huge disappointment. They're really going downhill.

  • Terri V.

    Soooooo...I will start of by saying the bar/restaurant itself is easy to park at (if you are there at the right time, and you don't get a ticket for no reason!) Also it is huge! However...Ladies (don't know about men's) Bathroom...DISGUSTING!!!! Auto flush toilets that weren't flushed, tampons and feces in them. (yes some women are gross) and on the seat itself! Also FYI this is not the first time I have seen this type of presentation in the bathroom at this facility. Also nice to see a waitress walk out of a stall and back out to the bar with out washing hands...thanks! Service is horrible typically-I did have a bartender that wasn't so horrible. She was grumpy, but apologized for it and I didn't have to wait long. Friends had to wait 20 or more minutes for drinks, and to try and pay! Several of the servers had "boyfriends" that they kept hanging out with...if you are cut from service, go change so people don't think you are simply blowing them off, but some were not yet cut, as they still had open tables. What I remember from my first visit was the food wasn't bad. However in the middle of the day during a Cubs game, when they weren't too busy, we were placed in a far corner and could barely see the TVs. Please don't assume women want to not be in the middle of TVs watching sporting events. I don't mind the attire. Hey its a uniform and the choice is made to wear these outfits when you accept employment. I would be happy to rock an outfit like this on Halloween, and I don't feel threatened by one wearing this in general to work if that is what they want. Also folks that criticize the uniform, typically know what they will see when they go in. Come on its the LOGO! The plus side is the concept of having live music. This may or may not be a lucrative draw for the venue, but it is nice to have and if the other stuff can be tweaked to make it more enjoyable, I would invite more friends to come with to see good music! So clean your bathrooms, keep up with it, have a staff meeting and hire people that know how to serve clientele in this manner, fast! Especially during lunch folks don't want to be late to work. I will be happy to adjust my review if I visit again. But I am now 5 for 5 on most of these points.

    Oh, Tilted Kilt, why must you have so much boobage & bodonkadonk runnin around? Wait, I know why. All that boobage & bodonkadonk is there to distract me from all the not-so-yummy food that you have to offer. I tried the Irish nachos, which were kinda blah. Not much flavor there. One of my buddies had a burger, and it was dry. Who has two thumbs and hates dry burgers that lack flavor? THIS GUY The service was great... and nice to look at. Our server would bring us beer after beer and chit chat with us to help us forget the less than stellar food at our table. Now, that's what I call customer service! LOL Anyway, I wouldn't go out of my way to hit up Tilted Kilt. The food is meh, but there are plenty of drink specials, plenty screens to watch sports on, and enough boobage and bodonkadonk runnin around to give you T&A ADHD. 2 stars: 1 star for great service and another star for the boobage and bodonkadonk attached to the great service.

    After a quick stroll down to the ice skating rink, I needed to find some place to eat quick. Pulled out my trusty Yelp App and it brought me to Tilted Kilt. When I walked in and saw the hostesses, I thought to myself "What have we gotten ourselves into?" Tilted Kilt is like Hooter's raunchy younger sister. The bartender had the largest most distracting breasts I've ever seen. I mean...wow. Umm..anyway (flashback) lol So our server was nice but seemed a little out of it...not an airhead...hmm...hesitant. Yes that's it. She may have been new. She was really cute and friendly though. Food was less than medicocre. I got a turkey burger that came out on a bun. No lettuce, tomatoes, pickles...nothing. Burger and Bun. It was truly the most boring and uninteresting thing I've ever eaten. The only good thing about the food was that it came out fast. The drinks...well they were weak. I mean the liquor was nonexistent. My date ordered a long island and it was weak. I mean how is that even possible? Overall, this place looks good. The girls look good, lots of TV's nice ambiance but the food and drinks were soooo bad/subpar. It makes it not worth it. I'd rather go to the stripclub if all I'm gonna do it stare at boobs.

    A few or three years ago I got one of those J. Crew catalogs in the mail that had an entirely Scottish theme from cover to cover. The photos were all shot on the Isle of Skye. And the models were all totally gorgeous redheads or brunettes with either freckles or rosy cheeks. Oh, if only I could have heard their accents. So when I got word that some of the guys were going to watch some MMA/UFC at Tilted Kilt, I started dreaming of these women, their accents and Francis Begbie. Pause. Francis Begbie. When I opened my eyes, I realized none of my dream was going to come true. First of all, Tilted Kilt is not a Scottish pub at all. It's a sports bar with a faux Irish pub theme. I deduced this from the faux decor, the pithy Irish tenets printed on the walls, the two small Irish flags on the mantle and the ubiquitous flat screens. Tilted Kilt is an insult to real Irish pubs like Celtic Crossings. As for the beautiful Scottish women with unintelligible accents I expected to be serving me, well that obviously never happened. Fey, fey, fey!! I saw one redhead who could have passed for Scottish. Basically what Tilted Kilt is is Hooters with a twist or, should I say, a tilt. I'm only assuming this, as I've never been to a Hooters. The only differences would seem to be the attire of the servers and the faux Irish pub theme of the Kilt. Do guys really patronize these places just to look at T&A? I will give the Kilt that they have plenty of televisions for viewing sports and that their food was decent and came out very quickly. As for the rest, you need not bother with it. It's totally ersatz. Even the name "Tilted Kilt" is fake. The servers wear mini skirts - not kilts! If you want to watch sports, grab some pub grub and hang out with a clientele that is 95% guys, then this is your place. Just keep your expectations down somewhere near the deck, and you'll be alright. Oh, and there was no Francis Begbie either. But there was a table full of Russian mob toughs right next to us. They couldn't even get that right. Close but no cigar. Two stars.

    One of my friends and I are obsessed with anything that has an associated theme. Needless to say, we were pretty pumped about our weeknight dinner on a rainy summer day. In my opinion, Hooters has the Tilted Kilt beat in food, drink, and atmosphere. When my friend and I went, the place was basically empty except for a few businessmen having an after-work bite. I enjoyed my Bloody Mary, but I have had better ones on campus at U of I (considering campus bars don't get too fancy with their drinks, that's saying a lot). My wings were terrible. I left the majority of them, which I never do with my hot wings, unless I have the plague or something comparable. On the upside, my friend and I loved the sexy little outfits. They could probably make more money selling the getup to cougars for personal use than they would dishing out their less-than-mediocre wings.

    The best review for this establishment would have to be the one by Nishan P. But, since you're looking at this one: I like the decor... and the rest of the scenery isn't bad, either. The prices aren't terrible. I'd like to see them a bit lower, but they are in the loop, so I guess the lease ain't going to pay itself. If you stick to the specials, however, then you should be able to get away without getting slammed by a huge tab. The drink selection is also better than I thought they'd have. Also, the waitresses were far more attractive than I thought they'd be. I'm just saying this because when this is the obvious gimmick they are using, then it is sad when they fall flat on the presentation. Too many times have I gone to a Hooters or something similar and though to myself, "Is this B-squad day?" So, congrats to TK's mgmt on that aspect. So, if you're in the loop, like beer, and like waitressed that wear small outfits, then stop on by.

    This is a great place to hang out. The bar and the actual restaurant are huge for a down town space. The servers and the bar tender were fabulous. They made the night more enjoyable. I wanted to eat but I wasn't going to be the only one so I will have to save it for another day.

    Surprise surprise, a guy reviewing a bar with scantily clad women. While its easy to dismiss this place as a wanna be hooters, I think it beats that "Delightfully tacky, yet unrefined" establishment in every way. At the beginning, the Kilt was slow, unorganized, and only good if you were desperate to see some skin. However, now the food comes out quickly and the waitresses no longer stop by and "chat" with you. This isn't a strip club, so don't try to be my friend for tips. I'm glad that changed. Its funny that this place clings to its Irish or Scottish roots, because the place reeks of Americana. In between old world maps and classic pub signs, you'll see posters of american movies and advertisements for Budweiser bucket specials. They do have good beers on tap though. Try the Goose Island Green Line. All of the negatives aside, the Kilt is a great lunch spot. You can get all your favorite bar food with some good specials too. I've had grilled chicken with veggies that were both moist and flavorful. Also, their french dip sandwich is one of the best I've had in the city. Try it with provolone instead of the swiss.

    This place is huge and with so many screens around. It is a good place to catch with friends after office hours. Nice place to watch NBA or soccer match. When I think of hooters and tilted kilt, I would say Hooters is never so spacious. Now coming to the food, classic nachos portion was big but wasn't that great. I would say Grilled Chicken Sandwich was good.

  • Marvin A.

    This place is a decent alternative to Hooters. For a Sports Pub/Bar I expect... -My libations to never be empty for more than 7 minutes. -The food to taste what it's supposed to taste like. Not looking for 5 star dining here. -SportsCenter and the local games to be properly displayed. TK meets these standards but does not go above and beyond. The service is ordinary as far as manners and customer service is involved. I cannot add an additional star to an already ordinary place for the bonus of the waitresses being scantily clad. I would give a half star bump, but alas we can only grade with whole stars.

    Worst experience at a kilt. Waitresses hang out by themselves. Got no attention or service all night. Later sat by the bar they only had one bartender at an oval bar. The only saving grace is the amount of t.v's available for sports.

    If you like the idea of exploiting both women and Celtic culture, boy have I got a restaurant for you. I don't doubt that as a successful chain restaurant, they offer some tasty things on their menu. For me, that wasn't the point. I went in just to see how bad it was, and boy, was it bad. (Full disclosure: I didn't order anything.) The many comparisons on here to Hooters are appropriate; the servers are all scantily-clad young women. They wear very short plaid skirts (and for those wondering, these are not kilts; I own a kilt and can discuss the finer points of kilts versus skirts if you're really interested) and their shirts, such as they are, show a lot of the servers' breasts. We're talking a LOT of skin. I like T&A as much as the next guy, but I feel that in a restaurant, it's completely inappropriate. Essentially, the Tilted Kilt is just a giant co-opting of a few cutesy aspects of Celtic culture (and I'm sure the jerks behind it would pronounce it "seltic," not "keltic"). As I indicated, I didn't try the food, and I'm sure it's just fine. That's not the point. The point is this place makes my skin crawl. Plus, with so many unique Chicago options, why would you go to a chain restaurant?

    Good food, this place is a wannabe hooters. Great atmosphere, cute, read not hot girls, and a wonderful beer selection. Made a great place for Lunch after a bachelor party. First 20.00 Lunch in Chicago, kinda shocked, but hey it's next to the park and it was cool, parking, was 48.00 for 1 hour. Not cool. Don't park anywhere near here. take a taxi, use the el, but seriously don't park close by. In general it is an enjoyable place. but for the size is has shockingly small bathrooms, so pace yourself, if you drink to much you may be standing a line to go to the bathroom. This happened twice in the hour I was there.

    Standard bar food... WITH A TON OF TVS SHOWING EVERY SPORT YOU CAN THINK OF AND SCANTILY CLAD WOMEN WALKING AROUND! Why aren't all the TVs showing HD? That really bothered me...

    3 1/2 stars When on a trip with several gentlemen (your boys) this is a decent spot to hit up to throw back a few beers and place some pool. they got tvs everywhere even a full size projector when we got there the full size projector was playing some UFC classics. beers standard, the venue is fairly large. This place reminds me a bit of Hooters with a mix of Bubba Gumps beers come in a iced can anywhere from 8-12 fit. The waitresses wear kilts hence the name tilted kilt, almost all the waitresses that helped us out were friendly all smiles, A good spot to visit I guess when your in the area recommended by one of our friends to come by since he was a regular, I would not mind coming back to this establishment to watch a game or just throwing one back and playing some pool, oh they waitresses are not so bad either haha food - =( did not try beverages **** coold brews in bottle or on tap service **** friendly smiles, tilted kilts haha ambiance *** very large venue random hole in the wall from the outside looks like a regular business inside feels of Bubba Gumps / Hooters haha

    McHooters. The owl has swapped his feathers for a meagre swatch of plaid. Three girls worn out from shopping (oh, the life!) and in need of sustenance (read: beer) head into Tilted Kilt. We were greeted by a very enthusiastic (and remarkably buxom) hostess. As she led us to our table, I struggled to keep my eyes on her face and clear of the gravitational pull of her plaid bra. She whispered conspiratorially that our small group was "in luck" as there were "plenty of guys to choose from" that evening. Hmmm, yeah. I'd like to meet the girl self-confident enough to approach a guy in an establishment where the servers are dressed like sex-on-legs. Seated, we order beers and food. The beer list is nothing extraordinary, but they did have a $2 special for Miller Lite (or perhaps it was Bud Light...?). Our nachos arrive fairly quickly and, damn! - they are huge. The plate is covered in a mountain of chips. Seriously, I'm going to need a Sherpa to get to the top of this thing (which is a touch unfortunate as that is where all the cheese, olives, beans, and other goodies are. Alas). A wee second later, our entrees arrive. Despite the fact that we are all still staring in awe at Mt. Nacho, the perky, plaid-clad server asks where she can put our meals. Um, back under the heat lamp? We'd like to do the appetizer first, if that's OK... Our meals - redelivered ten minutes later - were decent. It is pub-food, after all. My friend's steak salad seemed to be covered in bacon rather than steak, causing me to remark that perhaps it was "steak-on" (a comment I deemed so witty I had to repeat it here. I crack myself up).

    Stopped by here to watch the Chelsea vs. Barcelona game and of course Chelsea won. #Blue is the color. Plenty of tvs and a big projector encompass the main dining room. I asked to sit right in front of the big screen, of course. I was told to go here by some locals as they said it was like a Hooters. It had the sports bar feel of Hooters, except the girls were wearing much less. The crowd in there was energetic and rowdy, my kind of audience. However, my glass of red wine was $7. Needless to say, I wasn't very enthralled.

    As far as Kilt's go, this location is sub-par. It's a little hard to find, as it's located on the 2nd floor. The interior is like a typical Kilt, tons of TVs everywhere. They were showing the UFC PPV and were not charging a cover, so I was expecting to find a place to spot up and watch. To my surprise, the place was half empty! So we were able to get a table right away. Our server was friendly and attentive, but the bar service was slow. Our server apologized for not having our drinks right away. Being to a few other locations, I was expecting to find a higher caliber of waitstaff. One would think they would have their top girls working Sat night, not ones that need to hit the treadmill. It's sad when the suburban locations have betting looking girls. No food this time, but the drinks were ok. Hard to screw up beer for the most part. But slow service when half empty is hard to ignore. Would I return? Not likely with other options out there, but there are worse options for sure. At least I can say I've been to this location.

    There is absolutely nothing impressive about this place except for the waitstaff. The restaurant/bar gets one star for pretty waitstaff. However, as a restaurant, the food is basically bad bar/pub food. As a bar, it's nothing special, maybe a decent place to watch a football or baseball game. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprise if this place goes under. Then again, I said the same thing about Hooters so this place might just be one successful franchise!!!!

    Clearly, I don't come here to "MacHooters" for the authentic Scottish food, or are they going for an Irish theme with kilts? The girls managed to figure out what a "Macallans neat" looks like, and it went well with warm potato soup. Lovely service, great break with the lunch lasses.

    Have warmed up to this more and more, and is now my favorite spot in Chicago for some pints. Prices are OK for the area, seems to attract a friendly crowd, and the gals working there are certainly soothing on the eyes. Food I've tried is OK too.

  • Rie C.

    i had only heard wonderful things about this place - and was extremely disappointed. The food was not good at all. I ordered a quesadilla while my boyfriend and his friends ordered various burgers and sandwiches. My quesadilla was cold, small, and not even that great, along with all the guys' food. Our server left us with empty drinks for AT LEAST thirty minutes and took twenty minutes to replace them after finally approaching us. We then proceeded to wait for a slice of cheesecake (ordered with more drinks) for fourty five more minutes! If we weren't watching the UFC fights, we would've left. The service was awful! Seriously. The worst I have ever experienced. Not to mention, some of those girls should not be wearing those uniforms. Just avoid this place at all costs, so not worth it!

    BACKGROUND: So one Friday, I'm waiting for my bf to get out of work. I work outside the loop, so I head in to grab a drink somewhere and maybe take in a bit of my new Kindle, completely forgetting that it's A) Friday and B) Chicago is home to many boozehounds. Every bar I came upon was completely packed, no seats at the bar ANYWHERE. I should know better.... So while on Wabash I see a sign for this bar called "TIlted Kilt" but I can't see in the bar because it's on the 2nd floor. I take the escalator up and a Britney Spears "hit me baby one more time" outfit smacks me in the face. If it wasn't 10 degrees outside, I would have RAN in the other direction. One seat at the bar was open however, so I sat my butt down and ordered a drink from a DD bartender with a B bra on. Come on now, treat the ladies with more respect than by cramming them into too small plaid bras.... One star goes to the bartender - she was real nice and very attentive. As a former server/bartender, I can completely appreciate that. The other star goes to the people watching. This place was a social experiement gone terribly wrong (or perfectly as planned) depending on what you're looking for. Groups of 5-6 men everywhere. Every 3-4th group had one DRUNK DRUNK DRUNK woman vying for the attention of any man who would listen to her. It was ridiculous.

  • Sandra Z.

    My husband and I were visiting Chicago with another couple, and saw the sign for the Tilted Kilt. We assumed it was just a regular Irish or Scottish pub. Well, it is.... sort of. It's the TGI Friday's and Hooter's versions of a Scottish pub. So, if you're into a place with a bunch of pub food on the menu, lots of flair on the walls, and waitresses in midriff-revealing tops and short kilts, this is the place for you. I would also like to point out that my friend Jennifer and I were the only two females in an entire dining section. Nevertheless, the food was decent and we had a nice time. I'd go back, but not with my parents or with kids. I guess I would only go back if that's where your birthday party was being held -- know what I mean?

  • Mike S.

    You definitely come here for the view - not the food or drinks. Sat down and had a mixed drink but the pour was extremely light. All you could see in the glass was the mixer (clear) with very little liquor in it. It also wasn't shaken / mixed. The service was decent. They don't really "pretend" to talk to you like at Hooters. Everyone knows it's so fake but it's still nice. Food was sub-par. I had chicken quesodillas and the chicken tasted like it was cooked 2 hours earlier, the shell was a little like day old bread although I will say it came out fast (prob because they didn't have to cook it).

  • Kemi A.

    Went here on St. Patty's Day since every pub within a 5 mile radius was packed that afternoon. It's similar to Hooters with scantily clothed women but of a more chilled atmosphere. Had my first car bomb there (eh) and green beer (ew) with Nachos. it was calm since it was early, nice place, nothing fancy or special about it.

  • Rich K.

    I have been to this place three times in the last three months. I really enjoy the place, the food and drinks are good. The only mistake I made was to bring a date here. The waitress's have a habit of touching all male customers, personally I don't have a problem with this, but my date was less than enthusiastic. Definitely going back, this time alone...

  • Kiran H.

    Tilted Kilt isn't much of an Irish pub, despite it's colorful menu item names. But that wasn't really an issue for me. If you want a more Irishy pub, try Vaughans or The Lodge. The hostess was sweet. She gave me and my boyfriend a sweet smile as she adjusted her enormous breasts. Moving on... We were lucky enough to be seated right by the window. The view isn't spectacular, although we did have a good time making fun of the people trying, and failing, to parallel park. We both ordered the California Burger, which was extremely bland. It tasted like...nothing. And for some reason my boyfriend had maybe a spoonful of guacamole on his while mine was slathered in it. That made me happy at first... until I realized the guacamole had no flavor. The fries were delicious, however. We both had Loaded Coronas, which were just Coronas paired with a tequila shot. We also had a few Jack and Cokes. Pricing wasn't too bad considering how strong the drinks were. I was pleasantly surprised by that. Our server was very nice and pretty. It seemed like it was her first week or something but she was very attentive. I would definitely go back, as long as their other burgers are better.

    IF HOOTERS AND LANE BRYANT HAD A BABY... It would be the Tilted Kilt. Think girls not hot enough for Hooters, Catholic school girl uniforms, bare midriffs with guts hanging out, bitchy attitudes, and the collective IQ of a box of hair. As our early 20-something server rambled on an on about the married man she's banging, how all guys that use hair products are gay, how she hates kids so much that she just wants to punch them in the face, while simultaneously berating us for not drinking enough...I decided that if I ever have a daughter it will be my sole mission in life to keep her from becoming this waitress. This place seriously makes me weep for the future of our country. The only plus is that they have good bar food. Excellent wings, fries, and a pretty solid shepherds pie.

    Alrighty, so I have to laugh from the get go about this place. I was in a search for substenance after having toured some sights downtown. Dad and I ducked into this place as it didn't sound generic and it was close :) Walking into a restaraunt with your FATHER where the girls are very.... well endowed.... is a bit uncomfortable. I just had to laugh to break the ice. That said! The food was great! We had some onion rings to get us started. The ranch sauce had a bit of cayenne seasoning in it and the actual rings were sprinkled with what seemed like parmesan.. maybe garlic parmesean. Not sure. But they were great. Dad had a burger and I had a sandwich - both were very tasty. Our server, I forgot her name, was super friendly and very cute. She was knowledgeable about the menu and was able to suggest a great dish for lunch. Other than that this joint had dart boards, golf games, pool tables and good selection of beer on tap (about 20!) and had a clean cut, older than 30's crowd. I'll definately drop in when I'm in the area again and would even consider coming here if I have a night on the town (it's RARE).

    A big sports bar with that Irish pub feel. The expanse covered in dark stained wood and a plethora of flat panel TV's pumping out massive amounts of sports programming. One commented that there were too many televisions. Naw, if you have it go ahead and flaunt it. The vision every first timer is looking forward to are the servers which are all dressed in naughty catholic school girl uniform or Britney Spears - hit me baby one more time-esque wear. More like Britney Spears skanky little sister playing dress up to appease the hordes. Since this is their uniform I will add that some of these ladies have hot bodies, slim bodies and then there are those that choose not to suck in that gut and let the muffin hang out. Muffin or bloated belly, you decide. Most of the ladies are cheery and do entrance and exit greets, which is nice. Juggy! Every lady has big, bouncy, bodacious boobs. It puts the local strip bars to shame. Service: Food service in general has been spotty, between ordering and getting refills it really depends on who's your server. Between Tilted Kilt and Hooters, I feel as though Hooters is the classier of joints. As strange as that sounds. Beers are downtown expensive. The best deal is to get a 23 ounce glass which is around $7 dollars. A 12 ounce pint is between $5 to $6, so you might as well upgrade. Shots are all priced differently, with i.e. a shot of Captain Morgan for $7 dollars, seriously an ounce for seven dollars is nuts. Food.... Depends on what you get. Recently I had one of their signature burgers with cheddar and bacon. Bacon was very crispy, couldn't get any flavor from the cheese and the meat was YUCKY! It was the worst burger I have eaten in the last ten years. I shared some with my buddy and we both agreed it tasted like a cheap hot dog. I dunno maybe the grill was used to cook a bunch of hot dogs and now for some reason the meat was stinking of that smell and flavor? I've never experienced this while I grill at home. Or maybe the burger meat is crushed up hot dogs? Who knows, I'll never eat that again. Ten bucks for a burger and fries and none of it was pleasing. All night I had a full belly and all night I relived the hatred of this burger. Buddies tell me the chicken tenders with their signature hot sauces and pastrami sandwich - Reuben style are good. Late nights, the menu switches to a reduced menu, basically no pulled pork sandwiches. Ladies on the prowl can look forward to a sausage fest on weekends. Worth a look once or twice, but with this bad burger incident and the gross cost of beer, it's lost its appeal for me. Best for an after work drink with the buddies or a spot to bring tourists. I will share one experience only because it aims to point out that some need to control their liquor intake in public. This dude was so bombed he dropped it all and fell asleep at the urinal. Seriously guys, the only ages its acceptable to drop your pants and underwear would be if you were a child 5 and under. At 25, it looks ridiculous. Butt naked, humped against a bar urinal, classy.

  • K. C.

    Meh. Typical bar food and the Loop location means that it'll be professional clientle in the daytime and evenings, then tourists at night and on weekends. Basically it's Hooters with a different theme. They have a decent beer selection but I'd recommend not getting a mixed drink as they seem to pour them weak. Servers and management are okay but not really that friendly, and to be honest with the way guys (myself included) sometimes act around pretty girls in skimpy clothes I can't really say that I blame them. Not a bad place for a weekday lunch and beer during your work day but I wouldn't make special trip to come here since there's many better dining options in River North just a 10 to 15 minute walk away.

  • Paul F.

    okay, I'll try out the 'Scottish' hooters, via midwest, chain. I'm no snob. It is, after all, twelve feet from the train. but 1. Drinks are weak and pricey, even by loop standards. 2. I expected about 30 tvs, sure, but do we need to hear the commentators at full blast? 3. Food poisoning, for real. It was the fish & chips if you want specifics. Presumably it's for the best, but they only gave 3 pieces of fish for nearly $10 too... which, again, would have been disappointing had the food not been poisonous. I would choose Beef & Brandy, Jem Bar, Exchequer or Roscoe over this bar any day of the week. This place sucks. It's too expensive for being shitty bar food (if we're to ignore the poisoning aspect) and their drinks are entirely avoidable. I suppose the waitress's outfits are cuter than hooters, but if you're feeling lecherous there are also strip clubs in the area (more or less) so save your money.

    I went about a week ago with my brother and we sat by the window. Very great view, and then we order drinks. Our waitress was overall nice, but she was not working. i counted the times that she came to our table and it was 4. My brother had to get up and get his own beer. Which should not had happen in the first place. The food was great and great amount of TV's for any sport event.

  • Kay J.

    We stopped in for a quick bite and a cold beer. The 12 oz. draft was okay and $5 each. The sliders were tasty but there was way too much bun and way too little burger. Our bartender asked how we wanted them done and we said rare. I don't know why she bothered as they were well done. The chips were tough and cold-obviously pre-cooked. Had they been hot, they would have been tasty. Cute girls in plaid bras is a nice take off on the Beer N' Boobs theme.

    We were going to meet at Dorsia, but an associate insisted on giving this place a try. The place is highly under priced as everything on the menu starts at $10.99 for lunch. I would have felt embarrassed if someone were to have seen me in this place; black tie not required nor did they carry Chivas Regal Royal Salute 50. We were seated but the waitress did not appear. It took so long in fact, that we were in the middle of arguing whose business card was better. Mine clearly dominated the others as it was Silian Rail on Bone, but Van Patten foolishly thought his Egshell with Romalian Type was better. I just can not believe that Bryce prefers Van Patten's card over mine. The waitress finally appeared and I went with the chicken caesar wrap, since the menu only had simple items. The salads contained no arugula, there was no swordfish meatloaf with onion marmalade, no rare-roasted partridge breast in raspberry coulis with a sorrel timbale, no grilled free range rabbit although most items did come with herbed fries which is a plus. The restrooms were surprisingly clean although Van Patten complained that they weren't good enough to do coke in. Marcus was gawking at the servers. They were all female with similar measurements. All of them smoking hot but not as hot as Evelyn, my fiancee. Marcus seemed to think that just because one sat down next to him that he could score. She was clearly interested in my conversation and made eye contact with me multiple times. Marcus and I both wear Oliver Peoples glasses and even go to the same barber (except my haircut is slightly better) but I always won over any woman we both were after. In summary the food is boring but tastes good enough, the ambiance is tacky and the service could be slightly better; the women are something I would absolutely kill for. I can't wait to take Paul Allen here.

    Celebrated St.Patrick's day here. Had a blast. Irish car bombs were awesome! As far as the food goes I only had the mozzarella sticks and those were good. Very crowded but the bartenders didn't keep you waiting long. Would definitely go back.

    It is what it is. It's a place for men get to ogle a girl's goodies (I'm pretty sure me and the woman friend I was with had more goodies than all the waitresses combined) without getting slapped in the face. The spin dip was actually quite good and so were the french fries. I was disappointed with my cesar wrap but everyone else seemed to be okay with their food. Classic story of the night - Friend orders an old fashioned and the waitress brings the drink to our table only half full. She takes it back to the bartender who says "Yeah I know I made it. Would you like more ice?" Umm no I would like more whiskey please! Who sends out half full drinks!? Oh and my little SSC I ate Mike's pickle.

    I always feel kinda dirty going there. The place is huge, plenty of seats, TVs, and good atmosphere. They clean the bathrooms once an hour. The food is good. But the waitresses... the place reeks of low self esteem... and I just can't help feeling sorry for these girls. I really want to like the place and go there more, but I can't. Not to mention most of my female friends don't like it... except the catty ones... they love to sit and people watch. And a great people watching spot it is.

    Met some guy friends here for happy hour. I knew what I was getting into. Teeny tiny kilts, low cut shirts, exposed plaid bras, thigh high tights. I was not prepared for the belly button rings (people still have those?), and obnoxious tattoo's. They need better talent. The service was sub-par. They only had 3 bartenders for the entire bar. Once someone got the attention of Boobs McGee, she was rather rude and bitchy. Problem #1. Once we got a table, and Butterface O' Callahan greeted us, we had to wait another 15 minutes for 2 Bud Lights, 2 Coors, 1 Guinness and 1 Smithwicks. Not a terribly hard order, one would think. Problem #2 A manager stopped over to ask about our service, so we told him it could be better. About a half hour later, our overwhelmed and uncomfortable waitress apologized to our entire table regarding her lack of prompt service. Awkward!! The reason they are getting 2 stars is the sliders. They are some of the best I've had. Made from real Angus beef (not frozen), cheddar cheese, sauteed onions and yummy pickles! Now, I'm not being rude about the girls because I'm jealous or insecure. I've been to Hooters and other various bars who rely on good looking women to keep the customers happy. This is just not one of those places. This is your typical after work spot for a few drinks with your male co-workers. I'm just glad I never had to wait in line to use the ladies room.

    Listen people, You get what you come for. It has beer, decent food, darts, pool tables and sexy clad, well-endowed young females. It's a bar in the loop...catering to middle age business men that want to have some beers and stare and dream about the girl that just served them nachos with a side of nipple before going home to their wives...it is what it is. I find it funny being 27 and watching guys my Dad's age flirt with girls younger than me....and also a tad creepy That being said...this isn't my first choice due to the extreme volumes of businessman that venture here...especially Friday knock off time. It is pretty hard to find a seat at the bar sometimes, but there is plenty to look at while waiting. If you want a place in the loop to have some beers and drool at women, this is the place...if you want a classier place...try Elephant and Castle down the street.

    My boyfriend had been to Tilted Kilt a couple times with the guys. He described it as a Hooters on crack and every time he came back he had this mischievous grin. So, me being a good girlfriend, drag some of my gal pals to check this shindig out. Wow, Hooters on crack is an understatement. I'll leave it at that, use your imagination if you've never been... The dining area is a lot bigger than it looks with tons of flat screen tv's. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience and I found myself staring a lot more than I'd like to admit. Pretty typical bar food and the service was ok. For the location and price, yes I'll admit it, I'd go back.

    I came here on a Thurs after work because I had some time to kill before a show. I started with an Old Fashioned and it was really strong (a pleasant surprise). The biggest problem was that it took forever for the server to come back with my drink, and it wasn't even super crowded yet. I have a weird adoration for coleslaw ON my sandwich, so I had to order the Pulled Pork sandwich marinated in Guinness which comes with coleslaw on it. Very good pork, very good coleslaw, and I was happy. The fries were fine (I am not the biggest fry fan but I ate these easily). I thought the prices were pretty reasonable for downtown, and the server was kind enough to let me linger and read a little bit. I would go back to enjoy the food and cocktails (and laugh while watching my make friends ogle the waitresses in the tiny outfits). Perhaps also get in a game of pool in the back (two tables by the bar/windows).

    Yeah, pretty damn lousy. I went with 2 old friends to grab some lunch. I ordered the chicken tenders which were tasty, but they were small and I got three of them. You call that a meal?? The waitress was also kind of a b as in boy rhymes with itch. She couldn't manage to make eye contact or smile and managed to seem exasperated when I wanted to substitute fries for something else. 2 stars on account of many refills of my diet coke.

    What ever you do, DO NOT ask the servers if the restaurant is like HOOTERS...it's NOT. They were short plaid skirts and tiny tops without owls on them. Our waitress sported a sparkly rhinestone belly piercing and the TV played women wrestling. Oh the food? Oddly enough, she said their wings were the best item on the menu and just like Hooters, the wings were terrible!

    I've been here several times, and my rating is an average of all of them. The drinks and food are fantastic - definitely 5-stars worthy! The service - not so much. When I come with a large group at night, it's not as noticeable, and many times we just go up to the bar to order drinks and munchies. I stopped in with a friend for lunch one day, however, and we were ignored the first 20 minutes after we were seated. No waitress even wandered by. It was terrible. I recommend the place, but go in prepared.

  • Eddy C.

    Sometimes you just have to call a spade, a spade. Unless someone kidnapped, blindfolded and then dragged you into Tilted Kilt, you probably have a good idea what to expect of the place before you even set foot in the door: Servers wearing skimpy outfits that scream "HEY GUYS!!! COME CHECK OUT MY CLEAVAGE!!!", all the while serving standard bar fare with radio-friendly Top 40 hits blaring in the background. Let's be honest: the majority of the customers are guys and the majority of them go to Tilted Kilt because they want to check out the servers. Granted the outfits remind me of what a Vegas stripper might wear (except with shorter heels) but I'm sure most guys don't have a problem with that. My friends and I went to Tilted Kilt last night to watch Game 4 of the NBA Finals. My quick $0.02: - The place has TV's galore. Pretty much anywhere you sat, you had a good view of the game. Only complaint was that they didn't broadcast the play-by-play, though that's pretty standard practice with a bar like Tilted Kilt (i.e. catering to sports and non-sports fans alike) - The list of beers on tap is impressive. Aside from the usual stuff, they also had Hoegaarden, Leffe and something called a Hard Knuckle Stout. The beers come in a larger-than-average pint glass and cost $6 a piece, which is fairly typical for any of the larger Loop bars. - The service is reasonably efficient and definitely friendly. I noticed a couple servers sitting on customers' laps for no apparent reason. Our server didn't do that but she did sit down (in a chair) and chat with us about what we do for a living and what she does outside of Tilted Kilt (apparently, an aspiring actress). Props to the place for setting a table up for just me, even though we had made reservations for eight people. Most places probably would've given our table away, especially considering how busy they were last night. - The ambiance is very very loud and not conversation-friendly at all. Considering how big the place is, this was surprising. That being said, most people seemed fine yelling over the music and noise. - I didn't have food while I was there so I can't comment on that. Other people in our party who did order food seemed pleased with what they got. So there you go. Tilted Kilt is worth a visit the next time you're trying to pick a place in the Loop for happy hour. I'll pretty sure I'll be back, though NOT to figure out how to convince the server to sit on my lap (*waves* at fiancé. Hi honey!).

    We stopped in for a quick beer before a show at the Chicago Theater. First impression? Not bad but very warm in there. Wasn't too crowded but very full for a Thursday night. Didn't have any food this visit but it looks like they offer some decent fare. The eye candy is very obvious and very nice. I think I still have some residual whiplash from looking around. The bartenders were on their game and hustling back there. Good service. I'll be back when I have some time to kill and have a bite to eat.

    I went there with some work buddies and I have to agree with Jackie, this place is what it is. I had the California burger which was pretty good but nothing special. One guy had the wings but thought they weren't spicy enough and another guy had the chicken wrap and loved it. The service was pretty good although one guy asked for water and for some reason that took forever and a day. This is definitely the place to watch the game, it seems like they have enough screens to cover every conceivably angle. All in all, if I don't take into account the real reason guys go here, I have to say the Tilted Kilt was just ok. I usually hate getting the table by the server station but this time...Hubba Hubba!

    In the heart of the loop on Wabash, located on the 2nd floor, is this roomy Irish establishment. Actually it'smuch larger than I thought it would be. The server girls here are a mix of hot, average & no thanks. The food was decent but the portions were a bit small. The Black & Tans were quite tasty.

    Nice to have a new spot in the Loop. I went here last night; great vibe, great service ;). The food was just okay, but could have been what I ordered. TVs galore, this is a great downtown spot to watch sports.

  • Channyn W.

    My original review is still pretty much how I feel - except for last night. Our waitress was rude and indifferent the entire time our group was there. Sorry, if you don't want to be a waitress, then find another job. However, there is no need to act like you are too important to do the job you are being paid to do. I get that it's NCAA tourney time. I was there in large part for that reason. I'm sure she was busy, and maybe she was just having an off day. Still, it's a service job, so don't take your mood out on your customers.

  • Rob M.

    Great bar food. Had the chicken tender wrap which was great. Next time I had the chicken tenders with the kilt burner sauce on them. The tenders had a great taste but they weren't especially hot and they only serve you three of them which was a disappointment. My buddy ordered the wings and got a ton of them for the same price. Other than that, it was good.

  • Evett C.

    Food was good but over priced! The service was terrible!!! The waitress was more interested in hanging out with her friends then actually doing her job. Menus were out dated and not correctly priced; big difference when u get the check at end. Not to mention everything my friend order was not available!!! TERRIBLE!!!!! I do not recommend this place. I'd prefer HOOTERS over this place seriously!!!

  • Ashley T.

    Oh no, no, no, no, no..... This place is just wrong. Here is my summary...which, from what it looks like, is the same as most of my fellow yelpers... 1. Service (servers) - it is what you would expect it to be...but a little more....shocking. Now don't get me wrong. I love Hooters. Good service, good food, good specials. But this was not comparable. This was just....trashy. OUR server was actually quite friendly, got our order right, refilled drinks, etc. - but you just can't get over those outfits. It's like the trashiest costume you see on halloween. You know, the one where you can't stop staring, because you are certain that with one wrong movement, there is going to be a full-flash of hoo-hah. 2. Atmosphere - it's okay. Lots of flat screen TV's, decent music. There are better places to watch sports in the city, that's for sure. It is very spacious and the tables are spaced out well enough so you aren't crammed into the guy sitting behind you, which is nice. I did not see any risque showings like other yelpers, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least (sitting on customers laps? really? what's next, happy endings??) 3. Food - okay...so now you are wondering...why the one star? The food. Now I'm not saying the dreaded F.P., cause you never can be certain. What I can say is this....It tasted good going down....not so good coming back up - and out. Not cool at all, TK, not cool at all.

    This is your standard sports bar... except for the "amenities".... if you catch my drift. Went here to grab a quick bite before the Hawks game. I had the bacon BBQ burger... it was a little overcooked but still really tasty. 2 burgers 2 fries and 2 drinks for 27 bucks, not bad at all. I will return.

    (3)

  • JJ B.

    Not too bad, as far as atmosphere is concerned. Girls wear cute/skanky outfits which isn't too bad, depending on the girl. There are plenty of tv screens and 2 pool tables. Prices are a touch on the high side for drinks. Service is OK at best, I saw many people that would agree with that statement. Haven't tried the food yet, but plan on returning.

  • Jin K.

    The girls here definately carry an attractive quality - this place is silicone heaven. I think hooters is where you start off and then when you save enough for the implants, you move on up to TK. I've been to two locations, the one on Wabash and the one randomly in the burbs, downers grove, I believe. Food is not impressive although it comes in MAN sized portions, Big Screen TV's throughout and if the bears are losing and your watching it here, at least you have some talent roaming around the playing field. Drink lots and take chances.

    Round #2 . So we finally went back and ordered food. At a first glance, the menu was short and prices were listed (no frills or thrills). I orderd the pulled pork sandwhich with a side order of coleslaw and seasoned fries and my friend order a Pizza. Since pulled pork is not your typical bar fare.. I was a bit skeptical @ first but I have to admit the food was nice and hot and looked great when it came from the kitchen..... but after the first bite I just knew that I should have stuck with typical bar food... burger or a pizza perhaps would have been appropriate? Needless to say the food was not BAD nor GREAT! So my rating for Tilted Kilt remains a strong 3! For two: (4) Stellas Artois - @ 6 dollars a piece = 24.00 (1) Pulled Pork w/ Fries - 7~8.00 (1) Veggie Pizza - 7.50~8 Plus 10.00 Tip.

    What a nightmare. If I could give this place zero stars I would. Our service was horrifying. We waited 15 minutes for draft beers, how hard can that be? and then another HOUR for our meal! It ended up being a two hour lunch, which is ridiculous considering it was a weekday. Plus, it seemed like every scantily clad waitress in the place was just milling about behind the counter without anything to do. Maybe they need to hire some of these girls as cooks instead of waitstaff to get the food out earlier. I don't mind waiting that long food if it is excellent, but this food was subpar at best. I ordered the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger, which got some fairly good reviews on Yelp, but it was burned to a crisp. The bacon on the top looked like it had been sitting on the griddle for about 20 hours and the "onions" on the top were mostly just batter with little onion. Furthermore, we were there with a large group 14 people for a work lunch, and they couldn't seat us all together. FYI this is a completely inappropriate place to take someone on business. Then, when the other table said they were paying for our table's lunch too the waitress came to our table and raved to the only other woman there, that "she should teach class on how to get men to buy her lunch." Besides some of the inane comments, our waitress was actually very nice and tried to make conversation with our table and was very polite. I didn't finish my whole burger and she asked if there was anything wrong with it. She was certainly the bright spot in the whole experience and NOT because of the college-halloween outfit she was wearing. Skip this place.

    We just arrived in Chicago hungry at lunch time on a Sunday. Dustin suggested we walk, and we found ourselves at the Tilted Kilt - also recommended by a friend who used to live in Chicago. The theme is obviously Scottish, with female servers who have less clothing on then the Hooters girls. The Sunday lunch crowd was not existent. I had a caesar salad and Dustin had the sausages with garlic fries. The garlic fries were great! I'll just say that Dustin's lucky I don't care what my servers are wearing as long as the food is good.

    BOOBIES. DRESSED UP FRAT PARTY. These were my first and last impressions of this fine establishment. It's basically a huge dressed up Scottish themed Hooters. It's a run of the mill downtown Chicago sports bar in a short kilt. The bartender was very nice. The hostesses were welcoming and cheery. The drinks weren't "falling off my stool" strong they were meh. Clean bathroom.It's a total sausage fest in there of course. If you want sub par looking "after work businessman preppy" guys that are more than likely engaged or married but obviously don't care judging from their Catholic priest like molestation of the hot waitresses then come here.

    This place was pretty damn decent...well worth the money, and the food was surprisinigly better than I would have expected for a newer place. The burger was BIG. I liked it. They also had pretty good service. The waitress came around like...236 times lol...I'd rather that than no service at all...ya dig?

    We were a party of 3 on a Friday night. First off the 2 girls that greeted us were super nice. Our waitress was attentive yet after a while I noticed that she was sitting with certain patrons for an extended period of time (not sure if this is part of their job). She then came to our table and sat. We were having a business meeting yet she interrupted and just started talking about how many drinks she had so far & the type of drinks she likes. A few minutes later another waitress came and told her that Mike (manager) said that she already had her 3 drink limit for the night & she just blew it off angrily. We got the impression like she wanted us to buy her a drink which we didnt. She turned out to be a little rude when she realized we werent going to buy her drinks. There were only a handful of tables....on a FRIDAY night!!!!...WOW!!! I should have read these reviews first. Also, not to sound mean or like a jerk....the women here are below average in my opinion. Hooters girls are WAY better looking. Now, I will say that the Oakbrook location and Supposedly the Woodridge location have better looking waitresses. Yes... I know...it sounds mean but guys....this is why we come here right? ...beside the food which is average.... I saw the woodridge location website and the girls look better there....hopefully the service is better as well. In short, I will NOT be back to this location...the Oakbrook location is OK....& my next stop is Woodridge this coming up week. I hope I am not disappointed or else its back to Hooters. :-/

  • Moe f.

    Yes, this place is the Scottish Hooters with flirty, scantly clad woman in short kilts, tiny shirts, and knee socks. This makes them all look like schoolgirls. There are 24 beers on tap but half are crappy domestics. I got the cheddar-bacon-bbq burger which was pretty good. This crowd was a sausage fest of men getting off work and grabbing some beers. When you are not distracted by the ladies working, you can watch sports on one of the many TVs. Since they just opened, I will not dwell on the service or the fact that they only had a few beers working on tap and no hard liquor. I found the whole place kind of wierd but not a bad spot for a beer and a bite.

  • justin m.

    Two stars... just because MOST of the girls there have two boobs (some I'm not sure) I've went there three times before writing a review. Not one time was it a pleasant experience. Yes I get it, you have kilts, that are tilted... and boobs. However, this is Chicago, you still need to provide a decent level of service and some culinary value! Today was the straw that broke the large chested camel's back. Went there over lunch, waited 40 minutes till our temptress returned to tell us that we would not be getting what we ordered due to the complexity of the meal. OK, my fault... I should not have ordered the chicken wrap, maybe I should have stuck with the water and sprung for a lemon on the side. This place needs to get it together! Managers don't manage... cooks, hell they don't cook. The girls do their part and do it well so keep your heads (and chests) held high and help turn this place around! I want this place to be good, I need it to be good. But, let's be honest... even if it stays the same (or gets worse) I will be back...

  • Onur U.

    It is what it is. The food is crappy and expensive. The waitresses are busty and almost aggressively friendly. The beer certainly isn't cheap. And yet I appreciate what they offer. It's a huge bar, definitely one of the biggest in the Loop, so you can come with a decent sized group and find some space (rather than cramming into a corner like you do at most Loop bars). They have an impressive array of flat screen tv's tuned to anything that even resembles sports all day. And the beer selection actually isn't horrible since you can get a couple seasonal brews on tap (Goose Island and Sam Adams). So if you're looking for a place to grab a beer with co-workers it's a good option. And at least the eye candy is something to talk about.

  • Rudy W.

    I know sports bar is supposed to just sit have a drink and watch TV. but I was hungry and ordered Pizza, nachos and burger. the place is nice, I went really early around 6:00 pm, so there were not many customers. probably 5 tables with 2 customers per table. so the waitress ratio per customers are good (2 per 1). I know, I'm not supposed to rate review of the restaurant on services, because when they are busy, they can't attend to every customers need. but the food. a. pizza taste like cardboard b. nachos, its a costco nacho + douze of cheeze, olives and cut up tomatos. the portion is for 10 people serving. they are huge. c. burger, if you think McDonald burger was bad. you have to try this one. then you'll go for McDonald burger. enough said on the food, ok, they are Bad. but did I mentioned that there weren't any customer. so, I was eating my fries (since I can't eat my burger), she walked by and swoop my basket. I wasn't looking, since I was watching TV. looking at my table, everything was empty, she left The Nachos. I called up the lady and said, miss, please ask the customer next time if they are done with the food. if she was smart. she could have anthologize and run to the kitchen and grab a basket of fries. o well, I put too much hope. :)

    The facts: Sex Sells, and thats all they have to sell here. The Girls are cute, but they will "accidently" add drinks or food to your bill "Oops let me fix that hee hee" The food is on par with any dive that gets their meals in ready to heat bags to toss on a plate. Liquor and Beer, yeah they gott'em, but so F'N what? Pass up unless your just looking for an eyefull.

    Great Atmosphere and delicious food! (Try the Irish Dip) Sometimes it can take a little to long to get food, was in a hurry one day and did not get to finish my meal due to waiting a long time. A great place to go out with a bunch of friends.

  • Brian I.

    There are plenty of crowded sports bars with loads of TV screens in Chicago - great places to celebrate (or drown sorrows) with friends. TK is just another one of these places but with a "spin." There is no pretense what the point of this place is. It succeeds in having an "eye-catching" staff (for the most part) in clothing designed to maximize their eye-catching nature, but the whole place just seems brutally manufactured, gimmicky, and fake (yes, I'm talking about those). The good: Lot's of TVs to watch. The bad: The food (even relative to standard bar food), the beer selection (which is just OK), and the service.

    Met a group here after the Rock n Roll half marathon, and opened the place up at 11am or so. Food was decent bar food, and the garlic fries were my favorite! We all asked for a dirty spicy bloody mary to start, and it hit the spot. A number of beers and car bombs later, we enjoyed a few games of darts and waving to the L conductors as they passed on the tracks. Service was fantastic and they put up with our silliness for a 4+ hour post race celebration! We will be back again probably after our next race. Oh, and the girls are really cute! Cheers!

    First off, you can't expect anyone to be sexy, full of pleasant personality and serve food/drinks to the masses all at once. Something has got to give.... and that my friend is service. Don't come here for the service, quality of food or cheap food or beer specials. Come for the women in mini-mini kilt skirts and cleavage. If you are a table of guys, the young women may sit at your table and conversate for awhile. No tip necessary, as I was told by other guys. Great sized TVs for your game spectating pleasures. Don't go if you only have an hour for lunch or if you have to be someplace else in less than two hours.

  • Art C.

    Been here a few times at the insistence of coworkers. They have Hoegaarden on tap, which is pretty sweet, but everything else was medicore. The thing that struck me as odd was the number of waitresses to patrons there were. Not sure how they can afford so many staffers, but I'm there as a customer, not an accountant. Out of what seemed like 30 girls working that night, I'd say only 1 was in the 7-9 range. When the initial novelty of schoolgirls serving you food and drink wears off, I don't see this place staying in business much longer after that.

    Alright, I admit, I've always relied on Yelp for its user reviews and have never written one before because of my laziness to type but this experience has gotten me to finally do what is right. Thank you, Tilted Kilt on Wabash Ave, for encouraging me to write a review on how and why your location is THE absolute worst I have ever experienced. My friends, bf, and I (a total of 9), went for the UFC (Jones vs Evans) fight on a Sat night. Luckily, we got seated quickly and the server came, greeted, and asked what we liked to drink. Quickly, we had gotten our water. The beer that we ordered took about 10 minutes, which is understandable, and then we ordered some nachos and artichoke and spinach dip. First of all, I do not recommend anything on the menu that requires chips because the tortilla chips were bland and thin and half of it were broken into little pieces anyways. Second, the dips and the nacho toppings were not tasty at all. Our main server did not serve us our appetizers but another server did and she came to our table twice with food that we did not order (which I would have gladly accepted if their food was good at all) and then she came once with mashed potatoes that we also did not order but realized it came with the nachos when she came back the second time. I admit, that was kind of funny. After the appetizers...let's just say, our server did not really served us. I admit, I was not paying attention to my friends, but personally, I asked her find out how much caffeine was in a Red Bull (pregnancy can only allow you to drink a certain amount of caffeine) and she came back with an already opened can (from an employee) and told me to look for it and she left. Ok, fine. By that time, everyone else was ready to order and that took about 30 minutes for us to get her attention. She had gotten everyone's order except for myself and 2 others that sat next to me. Ok..maybe she'll get to us in a bit, I thought. NOPE! She never took our orders! My friend had to get up and walk to her to order my drink! Non alcoholic, of course :) . About 20 mins after THAT, everyone that had ordered earlier had gotten their food. Ten minutes later, she came by and told me I'll get my drink in a minute but still did not ask me or my friends if we wanted to order. Forty minutes passed by and everyone had finished their food and their (still) first round of beer, I finally got my drink and it wasn't one of those "I'm sorry for the wait" but *walks by quickly and slides drink on table without stopping*. WTheck, lady! In the end, when the fight was almost over (about 2.5 hours later), I complained to Manager Mike. He listened while I complained how horrible the service was and all he did was say "ok" (no apologies, nothing) and walked away and looked at the computer (pretending like he gave a dang). He never came back. When the fight was over (after 30 minutes), we got our server to give us our check and, lo and behold!, 18% gratuity was included! Since service was SO horrible, we did not leave a gratuity and left. Our server came chasing as we walked out the door with security and argued with us! My bf and I had to tell her why we refuse to give her any tip and she still thought she deserved it. Needless to say, if you didn't serve us, you don't get tip. End of story. All in all, food=service. HORRIBLE. Thank you, server lady for proving that just because you got big boobs to show, doesn't mean you get tipped in a restaurant. And thank you, Manager Mike, for showing me that there can be worse customer service than I have ever experienced in my customer service years.

    This place is ok for food, fantastic for sports with lots of TVs in every direction. They also buy the UFC events for everyone to watch, which can be hard to find a place doing this. The staff is generally nice, but that is affected by how many jerks they have to deal with in a day. Food I would give 2 1/2 stars, most of it is really high caloried foods, They have a few salads, then they have entrees like gaelic chicken, Longshank's platter, sandwiches and burgers. They are all ok with no real standouts. The atmosphere can be real loud if there is a sports game on that people are watching, sometimes too loud, but if your there for the game it makes it fun. So for sports I would give it 4 stars simply for the girth of what is showing. It is definetly more for guys than girls, it has a couple of pool tables, a electronic dart board and pinball machine.

    Now, I'm going to start off by saying I'm a woman and I'm not going to hate on the outfits. If you can rock something like that with self confidence, more power to ya. I've also been to plenty of other Tilted Kilts, and haven't had issues with any of them. Moving on... Myself, my boyfriend, and 2 friends went in there on Sunday before heading to the bears game. Obviously the place was busy, which we expected, so we got our little buzzer and headed to the bar. The drinks weren't bad, but you can't really mess up beer, except for the fact I usually like mine filled more than 3/4 of the way. Oh well, not going to fuss. We got sat in about ten minutes, which was nice because I was expecting it to be a longer wait. I shouldn't have gotten too excited, because after fifteen minutes had gone by I finally got up and asked another server if she could send ours over. A girl named Cindy came up to our table and introduced herself, asked if we wanted drinks, and when she realized we already had them goes "Oh" and -starts to walk away!- I yelled to her and told her we were actually ready to order since we'd been there awhile. The orders were super simple, 3 chicken tender wraps, 2 of them with tilted sauce and one with kilt burner. She couldn't seem to grasp the fact that I was ordering for someone who had gone to the bathroom, so when I told her both orders she just looked blankly and started fidgeting. I had to explain to her again that I was ordering for someone not at the table, and she still asked "So wait, you want your wrap with which sauce?" sigh. Our food came out at a decent time seeing as how busy they were. The wraps were good, although mine was a little dry. About 10 minutes later is the only time throughout our visit that our server came back other than to drop off a check, which stunk because a few of us needed drinks for awhile and I was hoping to get some more sauce before I had eaten 3/4 of my food. I wasn't even going to bother asking her to split our check like we wanted. All in all, I think this could be a great place if it wasn't super busy, and maybe we just had a server that wasn't on top of her game that day. In an area like this one is in, its a shame to see. Probably will choose a different restaurant next time.

    Well if your going here, it's definitely for all the eye candy and it's plentiful. A nice spot to come for lunch or to watch a game those are the times I've come in. Everyone was very nice and took care of me. I'll be back for sure! The prices are a bit high for my taste, but again this is downtown Chicago.

    Convenient location. Eye candy for me & the boyfriend. Have one of my favourite Belgian Goose Island beers on tap. Wings are ok but not spicy. Burgers are mediocre. Waitress was super cool but the hostesses seemed bored & annoyed to seat us. Tons of tvs to view sports and pretty decent music. Not my favourite place but will be back eventually.

    I knew what the logo looked like from the advertisements, I just didn't think that was how the girls actually dressed here! Even I was trying to not stare at cleavage, which is a freakin' feat in this joint! If you're going out with a group of guy buds, check Kirk's review. Turns out the "Irish Bar" doesn't have Magners, but our waitress (Jackie) said the bar has the pear one. I thought, "Awesome!" People have been coming back to the States at my bar raving about the pear Magners, and a bar here finally has it! She brings me back a taste, and it wasn't great. I start looking through the beer list for something else, only to read they have "Woodchuck Pear" on tap. All cider is not created equal. Strike one. The boyfriend orders a Newcastle, and she brings him a Smithwicks (we think - we were told we were wrong). Strike two. He wants to return it, but our waitress spends ten minutes at each of her other tables chatting with the businessmen. I know we aren't wearing expensive suits or flirting with you, but we are good tippers. Do we have to say that to get you to come by more than every 20 minutes? Strike three. We were planning on drinking a lot, and the pint glasses were 20 oz. beers. We asked Jackie how much the pints were, and her response was, "I don't know... $5 or $6?" (insert hair flip) Don't know your beer prices? Strike four. Either she was doing a great job playing dumb-blonde, or the management REALLY hires based on looks. The food here was average bar food, and the only thing I can recommend is the garlic fries (which were brought out to the wrong table and we had to flag down the food runner - Strike 5). Our service was very slow, and I shouldn't have to find the manager to let him know we're going down for a cigarette and not walking out. After that, he must have said something to her, because for the rest of our time there, she was really short with us, and wouldn't come by unless our drinks were almost empty. Strike... what are we on now, six? I'm sure there are some great servers here which could have made this review very different, but I'm not coming back to find out.

    I don't care how "hot" the staff is, this place is an embarrassment. Took 15 minutes of bartenders looking past me to get a drink while they talked mostly. Then a waitress is no where to be found until you look over and she is sitting down with friends. 40 minutes and she finally walks by, I ask for a menu and she says "ok" without breaking stride. Another 10 minutes for a menu that she literally throws on the table and then proceeds to go sit down with friends again. A manager walks by and says NOTHING to her for sitting around while people wait. Having just come off working 12 hours, I was hungry and just wanted a bite to eat at a place that has food. Rude, inattentive and overpriced. A bad combination for a pub & restaurant. I'll gladly skip the "eye candy" and go somewhere that cares about their customers.

    It's a pub-slash-sports bar with hilariously clothed waitstaff. The servers are seriously wearing tartan plaid bustiers and skirts that barely cover their moneymakers. I was here on a recent Sunday afternoon, and had a few drinks at the bar while watching some football on one of the eleventy thousand televisions. I didn't eat, so I can't tell you about the food. The drinks? Not bad. I had a few glasses of so-so red wine and the bartender fixed me a perfect snakebite (cider with a Guinness floater). Plus, he was wearing a man-kilt and he gave me 10% off the bill for simply checking in w/ FourSquare.

    Walked in and was pleasantly surprised when I was greeted by a lovely lady wearing a low cut shirt and a mega-short kilt. Can't site them for false advertising cuz the cartoon logo out front did match what the servers were wearing. The service wasn't horrible but it was great either. They had a decent selection of beers and the food was good as well. I would say its a good bar in the loop but nothing spectacular. Just one thing rubbed me the wrong way. It seemed the waitresses there had the mentality of strippers. They really worked for the tips. Ours was EXTREMELY nice, a bit touchy feely, and even sat down at tables and chatted for awhile (maybe thats why the service wasn't very quick). If their kilts weren't so short they might've offered to sit on guys laps. Our waitress even offered us a picture with all the waitresses there right when we she gave us the check. (I could've sworn too that they purposely shoved their breasts as close to me and my buddies face as possible). I wasn't overy wowed but wasn't disappointed either.

    Well, if your a male between the ages of 17 and 40, and you love woman in short skirts. Here is your place. This is kind of like hooters. But hooters actually has good food. The building is pretty cool, and pretty old. The girls are skantilly clad, and you can watch any game really here. I was here with my sister and her friends, they wanted to go, so that's why I was there. You know their beer list could of been ALOT better. I got a salad that night, and it was just like any other salad I cold of made at home. And they charged me like 11 bucks. BOOOOO. So like I said, this place is great for guys who have nothing better to do than look at girls who hardly have anything on. (These are the type of guys, who don't get much) :)

    I came for birthday drinks with co-workers and friends after work. I've been to most of the bars in the loop and this one seemed different. It's basically Hooters with kilts. I wasn't into the girls but, my male co-workers seemed to enjoy them. The beers were big and there was a decent enough variety. There are tons of TVs so it might be a good place to catch a game after work. We had some appetizers but I only remember the garlic fries and those were really good to munch on.

    They have quite a few beers on tap but the food menu is mediocre at best. The servers' outfits are also kinda trashy. So, if you're going for the girls, stick with Hooters instead. Despite its proximity to the loop, the crowd is less professional than some bars around the area. It more like a cross between Plymouth and Durkin's. If you enjoy shouting to make yourself heard amidst the crowd and the noise from the TVs, this is definitely your kind of place.

    Had a great time the other day at TK. Although the food is typical pub fare, my server, Alex, was fabulous. I will definitely return

    I have gone to the Tilted Kilt a few times for lunch with a bunch of co-workers and we were not disappointed. The "ambiance" of the bar was top-notch and all of the staff was very courteous and prompt. The complimentary chips/salsa, tasty buffalo chicken wrap, and abundance of sports-tuned TV's were also a plus.

    So when you go to hooters you think super greasy and bright atomosphere and well chicks in overly tight boy shorts and a tank that sometimes makes you not want to be there, i am no body builder myself to be one to speak but hey this is hooters theme so they should sell it accordingly! Tilted kilt on the other hand as the idea of beautiful women serving you food in a more afterhours and relax feel environment in not so beach ware attire yet equally if not more enitcing. I mean def worht a trip there and food was good, and more themed rather then just plane fried chicken. Thank god for the irish and their tilted kilt!!!!!

  • Edward P.

    I went here with some friends who were in from out of town. We were in the loop and needed some beer. It's a great place for having a few drinks and watching sports. As for the food, I ordered the hot chicken wings with fries. Very, very salty. Others in my group had the same comment-the food is just way over salted. So hit up the Tilted Kilt for the game, drinks, and (in some cases) the eye candy. Eat somewhere else.

    It is over priced bar food and exactly what you would expect, but yes the girls are hot.

    As i write this, I finally realize what a pig i am. I was mesmerised by the impossibly attractive waitresses who were barely dressed. They are very, very attentive and that helps one have a good time. All that aside, the house brews were good and the food was above-average. I'm sorry to give it such a good review...but I loved it...so sue me!

    Given it's opening during a weak economy and period of high unemployment, I figured they could have had the pick of the litter in their waitress selection. And I'm not talking just in looks. Even the service lacked. So the staff left more to be desired and the food was mediocre. But what really annoyed me most is the type of customer that frequents places such as these. Sketchy, depressing or amusing depending on your take. I should have known better. I'm adding a second star for it simply being a new bar in the underserved Loop, and for their bold choice of selecting Wabash as the address.

    A little pricey, and the service can be so-so (a little slow) though I've had a time where we had such a rockin' server with a rockin' attitude, that makes me want to come back again. Yes, the waitresses are scantily clad, but hell, they wear it proudly, and I am always so impressed by the confidence that it doesn't even phase me (as a woman) too much anyhow. Good margaritas. Standard bar food choices. I would say maybe the best/cheapest place in the loop (near Millennium Park) to have some bar food and drinks, though it's not "cheap" by other cities' standards, by any means, but I'm used to that by now. Just need to disclaim. Usually it's pretty freakin' hot in here, though. I feel like they rarely use their air!

    Unless your a man, don't waste your time ladies. This of this place as: A Scottish version of Hooters. Service was crap, drinks were weak, food so so. I have never been back since. Also, way too loud, and I mean LOUD. I was practically "kissing" my waitress just to get her to hear me. So unless your server can read lips?

    Okay, picture Hooters meets Irish pub, updated for 2009, and you have the Tilted Kilt. The waitresses here are very scantily clad, and pour on the charm to the primarily male clientele. The place is huge and well decorated. Take your horndog friends here and prepare to be thanked. The food is mediocre bar fare. The TK Barbecue burger I had was terrible. The wings with their signature sweet-spicy sauce were surprisingly good, and the Irish nachos (dressed up potato chips) are a great bar snack. Speaking of the bar, if you like beer, the TK signature beer is very good. Amber in color, but drinks very light and easy. Back to the staff for a moment: the waitresses are fake nice in a very Gentleman's' club way. One friend of mine stated that he was waiting to be asked to go for a dance in the champagne room. That said, the waitresses I have had have been very nice and very charming (and in some cases stunning). I prefer the forced pleasantries to a lot of the service in the city. Yes this is a new Hooters, but if that's up your alley, this place is VASTLY SUPERIOR to Hooters. I recommend this for males and for drinks and snacks. I have yet to be impressed by the food.

    First impression: client wanted us to take him there and I had never heard of this place that I have found out was a chain- I was surprised that our client wanted to go there-I thought, oh great Hooters has some serious competition except I really liked the ambiance of Kilt-the food was OK -the wings are MUCH better at Hooters-the burger was very tasty-I had the BBQ bacon cheddar and they forgot the BBQ. I guess the major appeal are the sexy flirty waitresses...90% of clientele were male...I have to admit, this will be our go to loop watering hole...a guilty pleasure...

    There is nothing super special about this place but I had a good time watching about 6 hours worth of Sunday football there. The bartending staff (I forgot her name) along with the wait staff were super nice and friendly to us. The food wasn't out of this world but good for bar food. Reasonably priced drinks and loads of TVs.

    They've got grape vodka. So I'm happy. It feels like a suburban sports bar.

    Stopped at the Tilted Kilt on Saturday October 13 2012. I left two t-shirts I had just purchased, one a Chicago Bears the other a Chicago t. Left the bar, retrieved car from parking ramp then realizing I left my t-shirts at the Kilt. I called them, told Arianna to hold the shirts for me as I or someone would be back to pick them up. She confirmed that she had them and they were in a red plastic bag. Called Monday to set up retrieval of my items and no one could locate the bag. Called Tuesday to speak with a manager. I spoke with Holly and she said that the bar is not responsible for "lost" items. I assured her the items were not "lost" as her employee Arianna confirmed she had them. I told Holly I had made arrangements for my friend to pick them up or I would send her a box and prepaid label to return them to me. She put me on hold once again, then said she would speak with the staff who was working the 13th @ 3 pm, took my number and would call me back. It has been 2 weeks and I haven't heard a thing. You would think that they would have put the items under lock and key in the managers office if anyone there gave a crap. Well I guess I am out $60. Thanks gang at the Kilt for being concerned about your patrons. NOT!!!!!!

    I went to Tilted Kilt to meet up with a few friends, and I must say, despite some of the subpar reviews I'm seeing, I had an enjoyable time. Impressive beer list + Pool tables = Endless Happy Hour possibilities. There were also huge plasmas (I'm talking 52 inch) in the bar area, making this an ideal spot to catch a ballgame. Nice place to people watch too - there were a lot of attractive 20 and 30 somethings taking back a post-work brew. Didn't get a chance to try the food, but the nacho platter was massive and smelled heavenly. I can see how the big busted, scantily clad servers could be a turn off for female patrons, but they were harmless - just trying to make an honest living...in kilt-inspired mini skirts and belly baring Ts.

    Might be the worst food I've ever had. I give this place 8 months. You need more than short skirts to make it in the restaurant business. Your food has to be edible. I've tried multiple items on the menu and each is more disgusting than the next.

  • Tim N.

    I didn't eat anything so I can't comment on the food. From what other people eating it didn't look great but didn't look terrible. However, I didn't come for the food. I came for the eye candy and a cold beer. I wasn't disappointed. The service was good. The beer was cold and the prices were modest.

    This place should shut Hooters down!!! The women are so beautiful it makes your eyes hurt, dressed in better fetish wear that I saw in Europe (Fetish tours 2003-2006), and the food does not suck (it almost sucks, but I have high standards). Back to the women... WOW! Someone got it RIGHT!!! Mini kilts, white knee-highs and their breasts hanging out!! Any guy who gave this place an unfavorable review, did it with their girlfriend watching over their shoulder. Pussies... the lot of them. There is a 15ft HD TV with lots of others to back it up, 2x 7 ft. pool tables, 2 dart boards, their own Brown Line stop to get you home, a view of my motorcycle parked on Wabash St (they have 1/2 a city block of windows from the second floor) and did I mention the women? Anyway... the food was OK. Stay away form the wings. This is NOT Hooters. BUT try the sliders! This is not White Castle. The sliders are excellent, as is their selection of tap beer. Thee service was great and we talked more to our waitress about forensic-pathology (her MA program) that we did the about the nachos. I looked her in the eyes as much as humanly possible but it would have been shameful not to sneak a peak at the offerings! So I'm a pig. Big deal. And you know what... they cater to it at the Kilt. I'll be back there, again and again. Shooting pool, flirting with waitresses, eating sliders, and flirting with waitresses... It's what it's for. They got it right. Spot right on. If you are a guy, don't be a fool. Go to the Tilted Kilt. I'll be the one sitting in the window, eating a slider, watching his bike, with a waitress on each knee. See ya there.

    This place needs some help! Went there twice and both times had horrible service. The second time was a Saturday about 7PM. The place was full but not packed. We were seated and them promptly forgotten. Several waitress' walked by as well as the two floor managers. NO ONE stopped! We didn't even get water. After sitting there for 10 minutes, watching tables next to us get served, one of us went to the bar to get drinks. No luck there either. So after 25 minutes of being invisible, we left and went to Elephant and Castle where we actually got served and spent lots of money. I'm done with this place.
