The premise of Twin Peaks Las Vegas is simple: Everything is better in the presence of perky young women.

Does this philosophy narrow the potential customer base for Twin Peaks? Maybe, but Twin Peaks seems to be thriving, delivering on its promise of ice cold beer, hearty bar food and some of the best views in Las Vegas.

And we mean “best views” in every possible sense.

This restaurant and bar opened on The Strip, in the Harmon Center, adjacent to Planet Hollywood, in March 2013.

Beyond its bevy of “Twin Peaks Girls,” the establishment’s draws include three levels of space (including two bars), 29-degree draft beer (in frosted mugs, of course), a three-story rock climbing wall, and 87 high-def televisions. Trust us, you won’t spend a lot of time watching those.

One of the pleasant surprises at Twin Peaks is the food is pretty darned good. It doesn’t have to be, but it is, anyway.

The menu is overflowing with comfort food that consistently arrives hot and fresh.

There’s pot roast, chicken-fried steak (see below), grilled meatloaf and BBQ pulled pork nachos.

You can’t go wrong with the chicken tender basket or steak sliders.

Easily the most refreshing thing about Twin Peaks is the staff is genuinely friendly and outgoing. You don’t get the sense anyone’s “enduring” their job (we’re looking at you, Hooters).

There are authentic smiles, and the waitresses are encouraged to sit and interact with customers at their tables.

Twin Peaks is a happy place.

Customers can take on the wall for a few bucks. It's better when they leave it to the pros.

One would expect the clientele at Twin Peaks to be almost exclusively male, but couples and mixed-gender groups are common. There’s no creepy strip club vibe. Not that we’d know what the vibe at a strip club is like, of course.

Twin Peaks obviously doesn't take itself too seriously.

The prices at Twin Peaks are reasonable, and other than the larger-than-average tip you’re likely to leave, it’s a great value, especially for The Strip.

Let's just say Twin Peaks has some die-hard fans.

Twin Peaks is one of our favorite places to hang out on The Strip, and we may just force ourselves to go back again soon. Tomorrow. Let us know what you think.
