  • Bar Rescue has been around for close to a decade now, but fans of the show can’t get enough of Jon Taffer’s expertise at revamping failing bars. There must be something about seeing a bar live up to its potential that touches the human heart.
    None of us would want to see our local bar go away, and Taffer’s team of bar rescuers have been constantly finding new and improved ways to give failing bars a facelift.
    Every bar gives the team a different challenge, but how has this show managed to stay fresh for this long? Here is the untold truth of Bar Rescue.

      I take this with a grain of salt. I'm sure there are points of the show that are produced, but the people who lash out are also the people who fought the hardest on his changes. The pirate bar was run by idiots who then came to him again later on asking for help and he said "No" because they disrespected him and burned the stuff he got for him on air. Of course some of these people are going to be unhappy and critical of the work he does. And like bitter bar owners would never lie themselves. FFS. People said the same thing about Chef Ramsey's show "Kitchen Nightmares". But he's also had a lot of success stories from people who would surely debunk the crap the bitter people are spewing. Why not talk to the people who were happy with the job he did? You're more likely to get the true story from the successes than the failures.

      @0090424 5 років тому

      I think it varies from state to state in which it's legal for bar employees to drink on the clock, but regardless, I think drinking on the job has its place... at a bar. Think about it, you have a busy night and you want to have fun with customers. You want to sell more drinks. So long as the drink is paid for, the bartender engages with a customer this way and probably leads to more tips and product sold. It's a good way for customers to "bond" with staff and make them want to spend their time and money there. I personally wouldn't, but if a bartender turned down a drink from someone, they might feel insulted. There's a responsible way to do it IMO.

      Yes and no, the corporate thing should have worked, but not with those people, they want to be pirate’s. Don’t change them, change location! In this case both the bar owners (whom came back for a reunion episode) and the producers of the show. They should never have picked them, but hey, it gave good ratings. And the bar owners should have just relocated, instead of going on the show and getting there hopes up for a 15 min fame.

    Most of these shows take much longer. For instance Extreme Makeover Home edition, has plans drawn up, pulls permits, gets hoa approvals, purchases materials months in advance. They do not take 7 days.
    John's show is no different. They have to pull building permits for a lot of the things they do in the make overs. They don't just redo the bar overnight. I can confirm though that some of the owners are right, it's a simple retraining that most of the employees need for the bar to be rescued. Even Throwbacks/ Murpheys was a simple paint and rearrange for the makeover. The rest of it was really the employees not knowing a lot of things. Now they have reverted the name back and brought back the original drink menu, but they know how to pour now

      I mean yeah it’s going to be a lot of similar predictable stuff because all these failing bars basically have all the same problems and issues. John has 5 days to turn around a bars fortune and to get owners to admit failure and their terrible decisions they have to be chewed out and exposed or else they won’t change. Some owners don’t get as bad of a lashing because they took responsibility and did everything that was asked and ran with it. But most owners refuse to change and make it difficult, plus some of the horrible code violations are very serious and could lead to somebody getting sick or dying and Jon has every right to scream at them about it. But I do get the shows predictability and burn out of rafters yelling though. Can be a lot

    It seems to me the only ones who are saying the show is fake is the ones who fail after he leaves, it's not his fault, your bars failed it's your fault because he fixes them for free he comes up with a great concept, he shows them how to run it, how to do the books he shows them everything they need to do instead, these people end up being lazy, they don't want to get off their ass and do any work or they're just idiots, it really makes me mad, because I think he truly does care, this man is fixing your bar free of charge, y'all should be kissing his ass instead of trying to bring him down, which it's not going to work, and it's not every going to work. I absolutely love the show, and I think he's a great person for doing what he's doing. Also, he's helped other countries who has been suffering food shortages and things like that, so we should all be doing something like what he's been doing. But of course, that's not going to happen. You people who want to put him down y'all are the ones who failed at the bar business, and it's your fault, not John's fault, stop trying to bring a good man down, no one's falling for it.

    Piratez bar is not a good source for valid opinions. Given they wanted Taffer to return a second time, and they wound up closing down anyways. As for success/failures, Taffer can't fix every bar they go to...some owners, like the O face bar people, deserve every bit of contempt they got and more.

    • @Vanilla0729
      @Vanilla0729 6 років тому +2

      All I know about Piratez is what I saw on that show and this vid. I seriously have to ask, WTF was Tapper thinking changing a Pirate themed bar into a Corporate themed bar? Did he really think these people who dress and talk like pirates every day(Owners included), are going to say, "I like this plan, Lets do this"? If they wanted to act like a corporate drone, they could make more money actually being a corporate drone around the corner.
      I'm not at all surprised they closed down. With or without Taffer's help, they were doomed in that location. If you want to be a pirate bar, try opening on a beach on a Florida key. But all Taffer did there was speed up the bankruptcy.

    This is not necessarily true or accurate. The remark about "hired actors, as usual" was particularly off-base. As it happens, I was in what out as Marley's On The Beach, in Oakland Beach, Warwick, RI while it went through a hideous transformation that failed. I mention that I was there because I wasn't alone; I was with the rest of the bikers from the beach, and of the people we didn't know between us, we at least recognized as locals. Taffer delves too much into theme bars that have to be redesigned in a few years, making it more profitable to just sell it at that point. And the names - "Saint Michelle's," named after the owner to create a non-existent tropical island? Please...NOBOD liked the name, and it quickly changed back...
