Tilted Kilt Pubs

[O'Callaghan]

I went to the TK in the White Marsh area for Baltimore on St. Patricks day. What a mistake. Too many weekend Irish. Wait staff way to busy to concentrated on customers. There was a group of pipers playing in the tent outside, but I was inside and could not hear them. I left with an overwhelming sense of ambivolence. I did wear my kilt, but only one waitress, not ours, notice and asked about it. Yes, it is a Hooter's clad in tartan. Because it is on the other side of Baltimore from me, I will probably not return unless there is a special occasion. nod, nod, wink, wink.

I realise your comment was some way back in the thread, but that one would be the nearest one to me as well, and it's not very close.

What you describe has been my experience in pretty much any Irish bar on St. Patrick's Day. Too many people who think wearing a green shirt makes them Irish. Now, I'm not an Irish citizen, but at least I do have Irish blood. All the other people who are 'Irish for a day' are a bit annoying, IMHO.

I suppose if we both went there kilted and could round up one or two others it might be bearable. I'm sure I could force myself to look at the young ladies in their mini-kilts, LOL! But when? St. Patrick's Day is obviously problematic - too bloody busy!

I'd advise National Tartan Day - April 6th. I've been to a few local pubs on that day and found them to be much less overcrowded (and occasionally practically empty).
