Dude, that’s intentionally false advertising!
This was also found as a joke on the Reader’s Digest laugh site:
 
A bar in our neighborhood got lots of interesting traffic. Cars swerved into the parking lot, and the drivers would run inside only to reappear minutes later looking confused. One reason might have been the sign outside: “Free Beer, Topless Bartenders, and False Advertising.”

DeBellis said the display was one in a series of messages posted outside the deli that were meant as “funny signs,” like one telling passers-by to have their next affair there, or to stop in for “free beer, topless workers, false advertising.”

The Plough offers “no food”, “crap beer” and “bad hospitality” to its customers.
 
Another bar seems a better bet with its “free beer” and “topless bartenders”, but it also admits to displaying “false advertising”.

For all their false advertising, they’re surprisingly honest.

The bar on Front Street downtown is hard to miss. Strings of lights hang over the outside seating area. There’s a classic, black low-rider truck parked out front next to a sign advertising free beer, topless bartenders — and false advertising.
