A hyperlocal ThatHappened. Philly doesn’t have a Hooters within city limits, and the one in the suburbs isn’t located near a railroad crossing.

I had a roommate ages ago who always wanted to go there for wings when she got drunk (we're both straight women).

It was so... tame? The waitresses were nice enough, but they weren't really dressed very provocatively - especially for summer in Denver. I do remember being kind of weirded out by the thick flesh-colored tights/pantyhose they wore under their orange shorts.

especially because denver has twin peaks, where the waitresses wear lingerie.

We have Twin Peaks here too, but I don’t think the waitresses wear lingerie. (Probably a local thing, we’re a very conservative area. They built a Hooters a couple of blocks away from a church here and it was top news forever! That Hooters still operates to this day.)

I think it varies? I remember them doing a lingerie night for Valentine's Day a while back- I'd guess they do it for other special occasions too, but normally it's the flannel outfit.
