LAS VEGAS, May 14, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In 2003, Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery, a national sports pub that pays homage to the old public houses of America, England, Scotland and Ireland, made its debut by opening its first restaurant in Las Vegas. Now, the concept is returning home with its hottest location inside Las Vegas' newest entertainment district, The LINQ owned by Caesars Entertainment.
The 9,000 square foot restaurant is located in the LINQ's Central Plaza and is creating 200 new jobs. The pub combines a classic Celtic décor with nearly 30 beers on tap, 40 large plasma TVs and two large projectors, as well as the World Famous Kilt Girls, all in a fun, friendly and entertaining environment. It will be "The Best Looking Sports Pub You've Ever Seen" on the Las Vegas Strip.
"We couldn't be any more excited about returning to the city where Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery got started," said Tilted Kilt President Ron Lynch. "As our brand continues to flourish, it was a great opportunity to bring our fun casual dining concept back to the strip and to Las Vegas' newest open-air retail, dining and entertainment district. Sin city is where we established our roots and our presence there helped Tilted Kilt gain national and global exposure."
The first Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery was opened in the Las Vegas Rio Hotel and Casino in 2003 and was the brainchild of concept Founder Mark DiMartino and Co-Founders Shannon Reilly and John Reynaud. To help open the concept's newest restaurant at The LINQ, DiMartino has partnered with Anthony and Tamara Laureti, Bill Reynolds and Jason Wood, who are the owners of three Southern California Tilted Kilt locations in downtown San Diego, Westfield Mission Valley Mall and the Promenade at Temecula.
"It is an honor to have the opportunity to partner with Mark DiMartino for the new pub," said Reynolds. "As the founder of the Tilted Kilt brand and the developer of numerous restaurant concepts in the Las Vegas market, we look forward to leveraging his knowledge to help our new pub prosper."
The menu at Tilted Kilt is a mix of made to order hand-battered Fish & Chips, fresh Big Arse Burgers, Tilted Wings and Flatbread Pizzas; as well as Celtic favorites like Shepherd's Pie, Gaelic Chicken and Irish Nachos. The Tilted Kilt offers a wide selection of craft, import and domestic beers on draught and in bottles, delivering on the famed Tilted Kilt Slogan of, "A Cold Beer Never Looked So Good."
"We feature all sports all the time and pride ourselves on being the best place to watch your favorite sports team while enjoying an incredible atmosphere with your friends," added Reynolds. "We strive to uphold our promise to deliver the best service. These beliefs combined with the contemporary feel keep patrons coming back for more."
