It’s a great show. Please don’t confuse “editing” with “scripted”. The amazing thing is how so many bars revert back to there old ways and fail a couple years later. Many of the ones that stuck to Taffer’s changes are still open years later.
And a lot of times it doesnt even take 2 years if they reverted to their previous setup. The thing that floors me is like you've been doing it your way for however long and it isn't working. Somebody comes in and changes a bunch of stuff and you start making money. But let's go back to the way we were doing things before it's probably going to work this time? 🤦♂️
I have to agree with you all! Unfortunately it’s their mindsets. I’ve noticed like w Ramsey’s show, they have underlying issues, like hoarders. You give them the help and the tools and they fall back into familiarity. Ig it’s easier for the undisciplined 😅 ~Experience Relationships, addiction, habits 🤔
This guy, Jon Taffer is a genius. He is the greatest guy for rescuing dumb asses from losing their bars. Some of those bar owners are the dumbest jerks in the world. He throws half a million into some of the lucky bastard's bars and turns them around from a POS to a brand new, amazing and fabulous bar. He's the best! Love this guy!
Met Non Taffer at one his bars for a meet and greet and you couldn’t find a kinder, more accommodating man. My friends son is in the army and when my friend FaceTimed her son, Jon spoke to him and thanked him for his service. A true gentleman!
I really really want to see Jon and Gordon do a joint Tv show where Gordon screams about the food, and Jon screams about the booze Watch me binge it all in one week 😂
Jon was in an episode of Hell's Kitchen. He was out in the dining room eating with a group he came with. Closest I ever saw of them in the same atmosphere.
Agreed. Although I saw "Chef Jay" in a few episodes of Bar Rescue, after he was on Hells Kitchen. So they must know each other, cause "Chef Jay" went back to Hells Kitchen as a Sous chef after helping with Bar Rescue.
I believe every word that comes out of Jon's mouth. He is an honest successful man who wants to help others who are in his same shoes at a certain time in his life. It's too bad there are not more people like him! "God bless you Mr. Taffer!" .
How do you know he's honest? Do you know him personally. He's a actor song fake shows Do your research even the people from some the shows are telling people that their show was scripted. They go into bars and hands them scripts to do shows. If you that gullible and believe that anyone on a Hollywood reality show is honest and that any of them are real.... then I got a bridge I wanna sell to you!😅
Went to spirits on bourbon st. Great drinks and bar. Was on bar rescue, though I didn’t know that at the time till I watched the show, plus they were selling his book at the bar lol. Still good bar.
My favorite episode is when the staff find out Jon is coming and the camera are placed, so they start working properly and not over pouring. But what they didn't know is that taffers people already started the information check before they realized. 😂😂
Well apparently they are told that even with the cameras there he might not show up or he says a certain time but he might show up late I saw that in a interview he did before
They were here in Jacksonville beach FL and they redid blue water bar I had several friends that worked there Little Jon was in that episode but they simultaneously also did a bar further north in Jax in mayport where my wife occasionally bartended if short but she usually worked up near the navy base where tips are good. Anyway both bars had asked for help and both bars were rigged with cameras and they were told Jon may show up or he may go to the other bar but they wouldn't know until he walked in the door and it could be anywhere from that day to a few days from them. So basically as time went on the people tend to just think he went elsewhere and start slipping. They ended up redoing both of the bars but as far as I know the blue water bar that they renamed Sydneys was the only one that aired. They also do things like I just mentioned that they never film or air. The mayport bar had been flooded during hurricane Matthew and they were struggling because they lost most of the good staff they had which is why my wife would help out from time to time. Thier wasn't any drama or bullcrap or anything with meat on to make good tv but they did legit need a refurbished bar and more than patio furniture. They sent a crew in and gutted the place and refurbished it and helped them out with some debt. They had been there for 20 years and knew what they were doing and how to run it but it just took being shut down for a month for that dive bar to really suffer not to mention the owners home also flooding. That bar in mayport is still there and thriving the one they aired was out of business in a month. That's just how good a man Jon is. He recognized that those people need just a bit of help and would be fine and chose to help them and not film it and know enough to be sure they would be fine after. My wife said he was just the nicest person to her. He sat down at the bar and talked with her and the owners. She joked with him saying she was so scared he was going to yell at her and he laughed and said they weren't doing anything wrong and complimented how well they had cleaned up after the flood
ALL REALITY SHOWS ARE FAKE AND SCRIPTED, even some of the people from these shows have said in interviews these shows are scripted, do you research. IT'S HOLLYWOOD, EVERYTHING IS STAGED the above guy commenting works for the show an be is trying to convince people is real, can't you tell by the way he explained everything so detailed! 😂😂😂
@@BBones541in my opinion , it’s completely real the reactions are the truth but it’s highly edited and has many jump cuts that give it the dramatic effect that it has .
@@oamih How is it different? Both are portrayed as reality shows, BOTH are scripted They have a whole casting department for finding actors for the show, they have a set production/art team for making the sets look nice There is no such thing as reality TV
The part I struggle with is the recon cameras. Obviously the staff knows they are there. It also sure seems actual camera men are there during the recon phase
Sometimes I love Bar Rescue but sometimes the drama that people cause I don't but I'm like his business model a lot has a good eye for this thing and he's turned it into a career! Brilliance if you ask me!❤
I knew a woman who barteneded at a 'rescue' bar, she said after 2 weeks of over priced gourmet cocktails, all the regulars went back to ordering cheap stuff. Apparently thats a big thing in the show, making super elevated food and drinks that are out of the price range of every day folk
It is very real because I have been to a place called "George and Dragon" in Phoenix, AZ, and I even looked up the episode while I was enjoying my fish and chips.
They came to a bar next to where I live in Arvada Colorado, saw the camera people and even renamed the bar “bar retro” . I don’t think it ever aired but I was exited !
Jon Taffer is a fucking hero and a legend! He had saved soo many asses from loosing their bars even if they don't deserve it or were grateful. Not just that but he freaking RAGES for peoples safety and push these idiots, showing that how much he cares for people's safety! To so much time and so much money had been spent and waisted from this man, this guy deserves the world! Props and respect to him for all the hard work and patience he had put through with them and their shit! We love you, Jon!! ❤
INDEED JON TAFFER IS NY GREATEST MOTIVATION, INSPIRATION, AND EVEN THE PERSON I LOOK UP IN MATTERS OF HOW, WHAT, HOW AND WHY QUESTIONS REGARDING BUSINESS TALKS. I LOOK FORWARD TO SOMEHOW, SOMEDAY MEET THIS MAN IN PERSON. AND HIS SHOW IS MUCH MUCH MORE, BECAUSE IT IS DEFINITELY NOOTTT FAKE. AT ALL.
Jon is the real deal! He's BETTER than Gordon Ramsay, and I respect that dude. When you work in food service, there is a high level you need to work at. It's not hard either. Not hard to keep things clean! If you do routine checks every night, clean the fryers 1-2x per week, then everything should be easy. When your coworkers learn proper time management, food proportions, there should be NO uncertainty. Work shouldn't be as hard as these places he's had to go through. If Jon is being called to come into these establishments, there's a damn good(bad) reason. If a restaurant or bar has to have Jon in there, it's that fucking bad!
Lol no. During his recon Jon always knows a ton of details about the staff, their relationships, their personal lives. You fr suggesting that is figured out on the fly? Bullshit. Or that you can spot all the gross stuff through the tiny handheld monitor that is often shown with grainy footage? Bullshit. Clearly Jon has researchers that give him a much more robust brief and they find things, such as poor hygiene or staff, to highlight during his recon.
I happen to love the show and hope it goes on. I know of a Bar in Wilmington NC that could use John Taffer to walk in and find out what goes on. The Owner is hardly there and the beer taps need a going over.
It's editing bcs each episode there is a complete overhaul and drastic change from how the bar and its body was, to how the last 8 or so minutes of the episode ends up being. They don't show the details of the transition, just how bad the bar and staff are, give them a stress test, then it's makeover time and their first successful night before Taffer leaves. If it only took 4 days for a completely successful transformation of a nearly-bankrupt bar to go back to successful, then those bars weren't doingall that bad after all
Its impossible to completely flip the interior in 4 days. I literally just did an estimate at marshawn lynches bar that was on bar rescue, they need new tile floors in the kitchen, the bar looked exactly like it did before the show aired. So most of the appearance is lime temporary stuff
Totally legit. I'm cool with Eddie (the guy who took a shot out of his own boot) and he was telling me how it's legit, but producers do still try to egg people on and get stuff out of them.
I read his book, Its alot more then that but basically yes, Its like a remodel buisness with cameras. Jon Taffer is one of the biggest names in the Hospitality Industry
You don’t need a script for the cameras and he doesn’t personally set up the cameras. The production team can feasibly be there for 1-2 days before he gets there to set up equipment.
@@lukaspierce9600they still know that John is coming they just don’t know when, they could get a good idea from the fact that cameras are being set up but they still don’t know who the recon people are.

It's just that much more genuine that nothing is scripted. Bar Rescue has become one of my favorite shows now, and I really enjoy seeing what he will do to fix it up. 👍
Not scripted doesn't mean not manufactured by producers for better TV though. The producers and crew are there a lot longer than Jon is, and if a bar doesn't have a major issue they can use, they will make one by the time Jon comes.
A Jon Taffer Gordan Ramsay reality show Taffer handles the bar Ramsay handles the restaurant fireworks between Taffer Ramsay and the owners blow over cursing going on instant hit show!
I believe him, the editing is what makes it look scripted to some people cause they purposely certain sound effects or point the camera a certain way to where it looks like they're acting but reality they're being serious it's just the camera is in the way so they know millions of people are watching their every move.
I was a regular at Barlow's aka The Comeback bar in Tucker, Ga. He's 100% telling the truth. The ONLY thing that's exaggerated is the behavior of some staff members on camera (they know they're gonna be on TV). But they're real people. I personally know Susan Wood, John, Jamie, Olga, Q, Nikki, and Shayla. It's real folks. And that's why I love the show. Edit: BTW I forgot, actually Jon was going to rescue another bar in Atlanta before the Comeback. The rumor was that the other bar's owners paperwork and licences weren't legit or legal. So they settled on the backup plan, which ended up being The Comeback. 🤷🏾♂️
I'm not buying all that. It's a reality show so it is set up to a point. Like on Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen the producers do things like switch salt with sugar so when Chef Ramsay tastes the food it's gross & he flips out because that makes the show more entertaining. I bet they do the same on Bar Rescue.
Right before Covid hit they came to my home town of San Diego and “rescued” an old bar called Jolt’n Joes, transformed into “Gaslamp Social”. The bar didn’t make it and not so much because of Covid but it was already a sinking ship, there was actually a 2nd location in a neighborhood down here called La Mesa but that location shut down years before so it was pretty much already on its way out. I worked and currently still work blocks away from the Jolt’n Joes in downtown San Diego. We knew bar rescue was around because of the production trucks. Once the show and “rescue” was all said and done, a couple of us went over to check out the new bar because we’ve never been to one of his “rescued” bars so we wanted to get some insight on how it all worked. First one of the employees told us that they interviewed the employees choosing who they wanted to be on the show. When the show finally aired I checked to see how much BS I could catch, it did not take long at all. When he did his recon they showed the bar and pointed out how slow it was, they were there around December/January which is well known as the slow season in downtown for a lot of us industry folks. Next he made a comment saying it was difficult to find parking downtown (that part is true, although it’s not that difficult during the slow season, I mean if they could find spots for their production trucks it shouldn’t have been that difficult for his suv) so he did his recon “at the bar across the street” I’m pretty familiar with a lot of the bars in the area and there is no bar across the street from Jolt’n joes, he did his recon at a bar called “star lite” which is in Little Italy basically downtown’s neighbor (a whole bunch of streets away from Jolt’n joes. When then I was actually surprised to see that they didn’t make any mention to the upstairs, when they show the blue print layout of the bars on the show they left out a whole section of the bar out of the show. There’s a second level full of pool tables that was left out of the show…why? Sorry for the huge rant but I’m gonna call it like I see it. It’s an entertaining show but it’s just that, a show and not something I’d call 100% real
It’s a great show. Please don’t confuse “editing” with “scripted”. The amazing thing is how so many bars revert back to there old ways and fail a couple years later. Many of the ones that stuck to Taffer’s changes are still open years later.

Exactly 💯
People just forget the cameras are their after a day or two.

The amount of truth in this video almost makes the actual show look real.
It's just that much more genuine that nothing is scripted. Bar Rescue has become one of my favorite shows now, and I really enjoy seeing what he will do to fix it up. 👍
Not scripted doesn't mean not manufactured by producers for better TV though. The producers and crew are there a lot longer than Jon is, and if a bar doesn't have a major issue they can use, they will make one by the time Jon comes.
A Jon Taffer Gordan Ramsay reality show Taffer handles the bar Ramsay handles the restaurant fireworks between Taffer Ramsay and the owners blow over cursing going on instant hit show!
i believe it. bars are full of realllll characters
Taffer is awesome. I want to shake his hand for everything he's done or tried to do
I believe him, the editing is what makes it look scripted to some people cause they purposely certain sound effects or point the camera a certain way to where it looks like they're acting but reality they're being serious it's just the camera is in the way so they know millions of people are watching their every move.
When your last name start with T !! It means play time is over !
I was a regular at Barlow's aka The Comeback bar in Tucker, Ga. He's 100% telling the truth. The ONLY thing that's exaggerated is the behavior of some staff members on camera (they know they're gonna be on TV). But they're real people. I personally know Susan Wood, John, Jamie, Olga, Q, Nikki, and Shayla.
It's real folks. And that's why I love the show.
Edit: BTW I forgot, actually Jon was going to rescue another bar in Atlanta before the Comeback. The rumor was that the other bar's owners paperwork and licences weren't legit or legal. So they settled on the backup plan, which ended up being The Comeback. 🤷🏾♂️
Love Bar Rescue! I wish you could watch full episodes on you tube. It's always mash ups of different episodes.
Lol id hope that restaurant had the those gnats in there liquor before.
I'm not buying all that. It's a reality show so it is set up to a point. Like on Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen the producers do things like switch salt with sugar so when Chef Ramsay tastes the food it's gross & he flips out because that makes the show more entertaining. I bet they do the same on Bar Rescue.
I read that he owns a significant portion of the bars he rescues. Over 50% if I remember correctly
Like a boss
That makes him even more a bad ass, tough keep it real host love bar rescue bad
Right before Covid hit they came to my home town of San Diego and “rescued” an old bar called Jolt’n Joes, transformed into “Gaslamp Social”. The bar didn’t make it and not so much because of Covid but it was already a sinking ship, there was actually a 2nd location in a neighborhood down here called La Mesa but that location shut down years before so it was pretty much already on its way out. I worked and currently still work blocks away from the Jolt’n Joes in downtown San Diego. We knew bar rescue was around because of the production trucks. Once the show and “rescue” was all said and done, a couple of us went over to check out the new bar because we’ve never been to one of his “rescued” bars so we wanted to get some insight on how it all worked. First one of the employees told us that they interviewed the employees choosing who they wanted to be on the show. When the show finally aired I checked to see how much BS I could catch, it did not take long at all. When he did his recon they showed the bar and pointed out how slow it was, they were there around December/January which is well known as the slow season in downtown for a lot of us industry folks. Next he made a comment saying it was difficult to find parking downtown (that part is true, although it’s not that difficult during the slow season, I mean if they could find spots for their production trucks it shouldn’t have been that difficult for his suv) so he did his recon “at the bar across the street” I’m pretty familiar with a lot of the bars in the area and there is no bar across the street from Jolt’n joes, he did his recon at a bar called “star lite” which is in Little Italy basically downtown’s neighbor (a whole bunch of streets away from Jolt’n joes. When then I was actually surprised to see that they didn’t make any mention to the upstairs, when they show the blue print layout of the bars on the show they left out a whole section of the bar out of the show. There’s a second level full of pool tables that was left out of the show…why?
Sorry for the huge rant but I’m gonna call it like I see it. It’s an entertaining show but it’s just that, a show and not something I’d call 100% real
So the scoop is…….what you see in the show.
