Bar Rescue

No I don't think so but apparently the expensive free shit isn't quite what it seems. It's out there that the makeover at Piratz Tavern was not what it seemed. The new floor and bar were actually just cosmetic and didn't last much longer than the filming of the launch; the self-serve taps and drinks mixer machines were rentals and had to be paid for by the bar after the first two months. Also, the self-serve thing was actually not legal there so it was useless from the get-go.

Also practically everything about the show was faked. As if that wasn't obvious.

good info - I've been wondering how much of the new shit they get fitted with actually stays or makes a real difference.

Kind of a creepy WBC vibe to that vid imo

This show is amazingly addictive. Just watched one where Taffer chastised the owners of a biker bar for their shit booze selection: "Big tough guy bikers aren't going to want to drink this!" then not five mins later midlevel diageo exec world renowned mixologist guy is creating the bar's new signature drink with like apricots and hibiscus petals.

Also another one that had a lot of really well endowed bar staff and was next door to a strip club that shared its name. Taffer worried that women weren't going to go, or let their husbands go.

His new bar name, as revealed by the logo on well endowed bar staff's very low cut new uniforms: "racks".

lol at Taffer screaming at the two grandkids who steal from their grandkids register.

the granddaughter seemed to be practically reading off cue cards.

grandFATHER'S register

lol "I want to vomit, and I want to vomit on you guys"

lol at Melody asking to be excused after she just got fired.

"Bacon Bar"

seriously i love this show and i think Taffer is hilarious, but some of his ideas are horrible

Bottles. And. Cans.

This was a pretty good rescue

He seems like a Fred Armisen character.

Im Pissed that it didn't air like it was supposed to. I set my DVR to tape and it taped another episode. So what if it aired. Its not like someone from Spike shot the dude. Its life, the show must go on. Stop being a bunch of sissy babies and get over it. Come on Spike let me get this episode.

BigKahunano belongs in a thread for internet wannabe alpha-males

Would not drink or eat here based on the facade. Might use their bathroom.

looks like another bang-up job by Taffer

Maybe Air Force guys don't want to look at or think about planes when they're drinking, Jon?

"Napalm's"

Also, he never seems to realize that when you block out the windows like that, it looks like a strip club

HEY TREVOR, CHECK IT OUT! PLANES! IT'S A PLANES BAR! JUST LIKE OUR JOB IS! WOULD YA LOOK AT THAT!

TASTY SPUDS

The one from the other nite was unreal. The most immature people i have ever seen. Taffer blew them off, he couldnt stand them

i haven't seen/won't see the episode but i can't take anyone seriously if they ever think taffer has any sort of high ground to anyone ever

he's the one who has some control in these situations and he CHOOSES to present himself like that

did i post this? http://k23detectives.com/2012/09/23/piratz-tavern-bar-resue/ this show has me emotionally invested in defending piratz. i live a block away i'll make sure to interrogate some waiters for the truth next time

asked our waitress about the show, she wasn't there for it but was told the funny story about how taffer instructed the dude to be really lewd to his wife when she came in "undercover" and he said something really lewd and it made taffer so angry he stormed in and punched the guy and now there's a lawsuit

wasn't clear but i think it was taffer who filed the lawsuit

He probably named the bar "the quiet room" or the " library" afterwards.

the archives of this are such a fun rabbit hole to go down

search: the o face, the MT bottle, headhunters, whichever one had dj green lantern giving dj lessons, whichever one had the doormen constantly trying and failing to pat down customers, the chicken bone (i used to work in that town and went out for lunch there MANY times in its previous chuck e cheese-style incarnation)

Taffer said "He's not El Comandante, he's EL MORON-TE!" at least twice in the episode I'm watching (Puerto Rican bar in Jersey City). Sick burn.

kind of a weak season so far, but the dirty rooster ep was awesome - i kept losing it @ taffer mispronouncing "fiduciary"

Yeah what the fuck was that. how does he not know how to pronounce that.

so classy

the re-rescue episode was surprisingly anticlimactic.

btw, has anybody seen the competition show Barmaggedon? they basically take two bars (usually successful) and swap owners for a day and then see who wins based on who increases the other place's revenues the most.

interesting concept, but it fails on a number of levels. One day's revenue when compared with averages can rise or fall based on any number of things outside of the new owner's control. Likewise, the only changes the owner could implement that would have any real impact on sales are promotions (ie, changing or adding happy hour) or increasing sales per ticket/improving table turns, as anything like a menu or philosophical change would need days or weeks for a downstream impact to be seen.

I like it as its more lighthearted and less tabloidy than Bar Rescue, but I don't get that it makes much sense....still, some potential if they tweak it a bit.

Holy shit this Detroit strip club episode. The place is called Chix on Dix. It's... a hell of a thing.

that was unbelievable

Patriot House: An American Gastropub

Fucking hell.

This Asian girl is drunk and her fat white companion is making his move

She smells like soap

Does she have a baby

She does not

This is either #6 or #8, not sure

Feel like I'll never be able to watch this show again due to Taffer's Trump-like vibe.

bars

Oh hi
