“Restaurants omit pants in ‘no shoes, no shirt, no service’ because they serve bottomless brunch”
A “bottomless brunch” is a brunch that has a fixed price, for many dishes of food and unlimited drinks. It does not mean that the diners do not wear pants, but there are jokes.

Please wear pants” was posted on Twitter by Ed Lee on November 23, 2013.

@Yelp, when I search “bottomless brunch,” I don’t want unlimited drinks, I want a restaurant where no one is wearing pants. #PleaseFix

Apparently bottomless brunch has nothing to do with pants and now I realize I’ve been doing this wrong for years.

Have you noticed how restaurants omit pants in the “no shoes, no shirt, no service” sign? It’s because they serve bottomless brunch

“Bottomless Brunch” appears to be shorthand for “bottomless MIMOSA brunch” but my brain always tells me it means no one wears pants.
