American burger chain Hooters closes restaurant on Bristol Harbourside

“i feel responsible for the closure along with all the pubs which has also closed. I seldom used any of them.
please can someone tell me if i should claim responsibility?”

“despite all the hype the main thing is another business has gone, people have lost their jobs, i went and to be honest you saw more female flesh from the under age girls drunk in the centre trying to get in to the nearest bar that will serve them. seems like another nail in the harbour side coffin to me”

“The biggest tragedy about this being that the awful waitresses that served me on a few occasions may now end up working elsewhere and potentially serving me again :-(
My highlights:
1.(after using a voucher for a free beer at the bar and waiting 15 mins to be served again whilst the waitress chatted to a regular) "Are you going to pay for this next one yeh?"
2. "Ohhhh for god's sake, who sat you here, i've got enought tables as it is"
3. £15 for burger and chips
Worst service i have ever witnessed - no wonder it closed”

“How comfortable would men feel about going to a restaurant called 'BALLS', complete with male waiters dressed only in pants and an emphasis on their very large, protruding balls as they serve up your pasta?
Then they can do a humiliating little dance for every birthday or special occassion for public amusement and female gratification. But it's ok, it's all a bit of fun. There are far seedier balls bars down the road in which the man strip off entirely and flaunt their balls in front of laughing female faces.
We can offer memorabilia of the night, a ball shaped cake or ball-badge.
Turn it around, see how y'all like it!”

“Kirstiiiiiiieeeeee, have a look at your syntax and grammar before claiming to be smart.”

“when did i ever say the feminists were the ones that closed it down? they never would've won they arent smart enough to do that they are idiots.....im not thick i know it closed down i used to work there....read what i actually write next time”

“As a Hooters fan i am saddened by this.The Hooters staff were always very good to me and i think there are a couple of things people seem to have over looked.Evey year every Hooters raises thousands for charity,so local Bristol charities will now miss out.Also i happen to know that people would travel from far and wide to visit Hooters so therefore the local hotels will miss out on much needed business and add to that the fact that some 40 good people have lost their jobs,it all seems very unfair.We cannot blame he feminists for the closure but they had no reason to object in the first place and they have no reason to re-joice now.Bristol as a city must have strip/lap dancing clubs so why be offended by Hooters?It makes no sense.You go to a restaurant order your meal,eat it and go home but Hooters is different in the fact that it provides a wide variety of sport together with gorgeous cheer leading waitresses and all in all a great night out.Those who opposed should be ashamed of themselves and offer apologies to the staff,local hotels and charities who are ultimately the losers.They should then put their obvious talents to more pressing problems in our society.I will always support Hooters and i hope it re-opens.”

“Bloody hell i never got to see what all the fuss was about in this place ,was going to see for my self in the summer now its to late ,My partner went there with his work mates for his Birthday he liked it.”

“Cant see why the Feminists are claiming victory, they lost so much face when it opened and gave up!

It's not their doing it has shut, it's the recession, and the fact that Bristol doesn't do theme bars.

See Hard Rock, Sports Bar, Original Jongleurs and so on.

There are hundreds of Hooters all over the globe, despite what the crooked rib lot are saying, they will continue to employ the better presented members of their species.”

“Perhaps these "feminists" might spend their time fighting the real sexual enemy from now on.

Let's see them close down the massage clubs on Stokes Croft, or is that too close to home?”
