    If you ever feel like a loser, just remember that Jon Taffer walked out on that dude who showed up to his own grand opening drunk, humiliated him, and had his entire staff quit on him in front of 100 people

      Lmao so true. That guy said it all when he said “I just wanna know how to run 36 bars from a ship in Costa Rica”. He never wanted to put in hard work and grow a business, he just wanted someone else to do the work while he drank. He deserved it 100% lol.

    Matthew Overmyer, the guy at #1, was arrested in 2016 and plead guilty to two modified charges of assault with the intent to conduct sexual abuse. He served 90 days. Then he was arrested again in 2017 for failing to register as a sex offender. Good on Jon for seeing through this guys bs.

    Taffer did a very smart thing not Rescuing that last bar.
    Turns out the owner that kept screaming he was military, and constantly nagged on Jon for "yelling at his wife" is now a registered sex offender that did it while his wife was out of town.
    2/2016 - O Face owner Matthew Overmyer was arrested for suspected sexual abuse of someone that supposedly worked at the bar. His wife was supposedly out of town at the time of the assault.
    10/2016 - Matthew Overmyer plead guilty to the sexual assault charges and was ordered to spend 90 days in jail. He also has two years of probation following his sentence and will undergo a sex offender treatment program. A no contact order with the victim has been issued for five years. Matthew Overmyer also will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life and pay any restitution to the victim, should she seek counseling.
    3/2017 - Matthew Overmyer was ordered to pay $4,640 in restitution to the victim, which was a lowered figure.
    4/2017 - Matthew Overmyer went back to jail for failing to register as a sex offender.
    Aaaand the Bar is now closed.

    #4: The fact he claimed that Jon poisoned his staff is the truth. They finally understood that it was time to move on from a toxic environment, let alone a toxic owner, who didn’t even acknowledge the staff very well. And he coming to his own opening intoxicated was the last straw.
    #3: Terry had the opportunity to regain his business but decided to be a cheapskate. The utter distraught his employees demonstrated was incomprehensible. I feel bad for the employees who worked with him for months and dealt with an atrocity of an owner.
    #2: This owner was just about his ego. Whatever Jon tried to help, he somehow managed to shut it down.
    #1: That one was just more infuriating. After that episode aired, the owner decided to fire the only security because he was siding with Jon.

      The other thing is to be aware of the surroundings. The "fruity" drinks are for more than one demographic. That's what Taffer knew. Regardless of race or gender, you will still want a good alcoholic drink. Just seemed like the owner in the 3rd clip was so narrow-minded and most likely homophobic that he couldn't see past his own faded vision on what makes a bar successful. And he'll lash out on those that will disparage him over the truth of the matter.

That's one of the biggest successes to come from the show. Those guys weren't shitty owners they just didn't know what they were doing and they really took to what Taffer taught them. Just in case you were looking for a success story :)

      Oh they knew before they showed up. Don't get me wrong, based on everything reported on that bar before and after they were every bit the scum bags they were portrayed as so no sympathy. But that episode was filmed not long after Gordon Ramsey walked out on his show. They wanted an episode where John would walk out and went to a bar they knew would give them an excuse, and then strung them along until they had enough footage before pulling out that video they had clearly been sitting on the whole time so he could walk out. Although it was funny when he asked if he changed the name would they cange it back, they clearly were fine with that and told him so and he was thrown for a loop expecting them not to, then tried to argue in circules to get them to say they would not change it, and they never would. Clearly he expected another Pirates Tavern fight with the name and read it wrong that they cared. But yeah, while I have no doubt they were set up with that episode, they by most accounts probably deserved it.

      @@akimi2003 Oh they know waht they are doing, the thing that's happening is is called delusion tho. Basically, they lie to themselves and minimize it in their own mind and it deludes their perception of reality. Psychologically speaking, the statement "that's not me" or " I'm not that type of person" is just not true of EVERY human being. Carl Jung, the father of modern psychology called this idea the Shadow. That we must be capable of accepting that we are all capable of doing terrible things and being evil - we are all capable, even the the most innocent seeming or looking person can harbor the thoughts of anger and disgust and hate for too long and not let them go and that ruminates itself into rage and then you start wanting to do something about it, like hurt the person that wronged you.
      That's why especially in this online age where people are thrown out of society, cancelled by the masses all getting high on the Mob Mentality buzz it gives them to be apart of it, it's very important that at least some of us from this era carry on the concept of forgiveness. Forgiving others, forgiving yourself, forgiving humanity in general for being imperfect and capable of mistakes and of wrongs. If you can't get over your own internal drama machine, aka the ego, you'll be stuck there miserable and failing for your entire life. Those feelings that caused him to strike an employee and threaten to pay another 10 bucks more an hour to throw someone throw a window.
      Those feelings took him over. Men's aggression is a tool that was evolved for war over many many millennia of struggle and needing a powerful internal feeling that gave them sudden motivation and focus to pick up a weapon and fight and even sacrifice their lives for their people. In combat it is very useful as source of energy and vigor, but in a day and age where that aggression is not being expressed properly because we live in generally peaceful times and war is fought at great range with great disconnection between us and our enemy... that emotion starts to come up over other things, smaller things, things that in the scale of everything it doesn't really matter, and doesn't have a proper exit and it can fester and boil up you have to exorcise those feelings on occasion, I recommend martial arts or a boxing gym. Just buying a punch bag is of great help to me personally in my own struggle with my anger issues and I'm a girl! D: My anger must be from a bloodline where the enemy tribe got to the cave and the women were the only thing left between the children and the invaders. >:D that's what I'd like to think hahaha. Gave me a little edge that comes out that I had to learn to check and monitor or else.
      Professional fighters generally are some of the most calm people you will ever meet actually, not unlike military members they are "cool under pressure" - they aren't panicking or worried or freaking out or getting angry, they are taught instead to let go of those emotions in that moment and think but also rely on the muscle memory of their training to pull the actual trigger. Be cerebral. Tactical and Strategic. If you've ever been in a fight then you know what I'm talk about, that primal feeling we still have access to. But those people they experienced that adrenaline of combat and of the training for it so many many times and came out of it with clearer eyes really because it dulled that reality to slow itself down, to slow the adrenaline down through constant exposure. They see the things people fight about in society and can see that it isn't worth it due to perspective. I try to use that as a template to control myself, put myself in some kickboxxing and jiu jitsu classes, years later I have many belts and trophys but the most important thing I learned from it was simply being totally calm when something crazy was going on. You never know these days when it could help. :3 Anyways. yaeh.

It would be great for those that have a hard time controlling their feelings(anger, jealousy, etc) and would probably help those that repsress them(timid people) be more confident in problematic situations and confrontation. It would level the playing field when it comes to physical altercations, but most importantly shape the general public into people that take more pride in controlling themselves than striking out. Seeing some of the people/kids that grow up now without any from of self control is a public blight, and something both society, parents and schools should be ashamed of.

      People get into the bar business thinking it's gonna be a party,and they're gonna hook up every night (which is why they often hire the people they do...the bouncers and barbacks,etc are their "bros",and they try to create their own personal little harem behind the bar)

    I just spent 20 days in the hospital, I watched this show flipping through the channels. It was on 4 hours a day, I didn't miss a show.

    We need an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philly, like a parody episode of it, but in the style of Bar Rescue. Where Jon Taffer tries to save Paddy's Pub but has a total mental breakdown.
