Expect to see a lot more (or less) tartan — the owner of the region’s first Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery plans to open more of the restaurants in the area.

Right across from Big Woody’s Bar and Grill at Chesapeake Square, the Celtic-themed sports pub and eatery began trading Saturday.

“Kilt Girls” pouring drinks and waiting tables, wall decorations denoting all things British Isles — including reproduced rugby posters and what appear to be authentically grimy cricket knee pads — it’s definitely something new for the area.

Sean Cahill said he has opened his 32nd Titled Kilt unit after opening his last one in Florence, Ohio.

He said he plans at least three more in Hampton Roads.

“Chesapeake has always been an area I have looked at,” Cahill said, citing the area’s sizable population of active military and veterans. Military and first-responders receive a 10-percent discount at the restaurant.

The first Tilted Kilt opened in Las Vegas 15 years ago, Cahill said. The next few units opened in Arizona.

Chesapeake Square is the 102nd unit, with most of the expansion having occurred in the past five years, including a few in Canada, he said.

Asked what’s unique about the Titled Kilt concept, Cahill said the “entertainment atmosphere,” citing 62 TV screens and 48 draft beers at the Chesapeake location.

Then he got to the thing that would strike most folks first.

“We have the world-famous Kilt Girls,” he said.

Asked whether the uniforms provoke any protest, Cahill said, “Not really,” and added, “The girls in uniform are just one aspect of our business.”

And it isn’t another Hooters. “We don’t generally like that comparison,” he said.

Cahill also drew attention to the menu, which features a variety of American as well as Scottish and English dishes.

“You can eat as healthy as you want and you can eat as heavy as you want,” he said, also confirming that haggis is a seasonal offering.

The 9,200-square foot Titled Kilt employs 168, according to Cahill — and not all are girls in tartan.

New employees receive a week of training, he said, and the night before the pub and eatery opened on Saturday, a special training night was held where staff prepared dishes and drinks for guests.

Titled Kilt opens daily at 11 a.m., closing at midnight Sunday through Wednesday, and 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.

Michael Gilbert, who manages the Chesapeake location, said, “This is definitely a great opportunity to bring our brand into this community.”
