Stuck in Tampa, Florida through no fault of your own and looking to kill time? How about eating a meal at Hulk Hogan’s beach restaurant? Do be warned — the dress code is a tad bit completely batshit crazy. Oh, and it’s also just a teeeeeeeeny bit racist. There’s also that.
As reported by TMZ, the inventively-named Hogan’s Beach has a dress code more restrictive than most fine dining establishments I’ve seen. It starts off simply enough:
*****ATTENTION ALL CUSTOMERS*****
DRESS CODE
WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED
NO EXCEPTIONS: Shirts and Shoes are required upon entering any indoor area of the restaurant or hotel. Please do not enter the dining room or hotel area without appropriate clothing and footwear or you will be asked to leave the premises.
Makes sense so far. No shirt, no shoes, no service. Alright. But then it starts to get progressively weirder:
The following dress code shall be strictly enforced:
NO Plain White T-Shirts (or otherwise oversized t-shirts extending past the mid-thigh)
NO Attire Containing Profanity (or otherwise deemed to be offensive by management)
OK, that’s not that weird, I guess.* I’ve seen the t-shirt thing before, although it always cracks me up when a sports bar tries to pull that shit. You’re not haute cuisine, guys.
Where does this Hulktopia go from there, though?
NO Sports or Sleeveless Jerseys
NO Excessively Baggy Attire
NO Low hanging pants or shorts (pants or shorts must be worn at the waist)
Wow, THAT doesn’t sound like it would target a specific group, now, does it? No sports jerseys is the weirdest here to me. You’re not a Michelin-starred restaurant, Hogan’s Beach. You have “beach” in your name.
