I liked when he whipped out his phone and showed all the girls his porno I don't get how he found it in 30 seconds like he aside unless the porn had the bars name on it Also isn't the rear end tunnel a big fire hazard? Like isn't that asking for another station fire situation for no reason

I'm slightly peeved they never re-aired the lost episode (Music City Mess)- maybe they will now that the trial's over and the verdict's been laid down? Also, those crafty buggers titled another episode 'The Lost Episode' so anyone looking for information on THE lost episode is redirected to what is essentially just a regular episode.

I finally managed to stumble on a couple of episodes of Big Smo's show yesterday (relevant I guess since he was on that one episode of BR). Who thought this was a good idea? Am I just in my own bubble or are there people out there who actually know who he is? I've never even heard him mentioned in any media outside of Bar Rescue.

Another "Back to the Bar" special on now, featuring O-Face, which they surprising didn't save for last. Basically they've painted the place and stuck a bunch of O FACE logos with lips on the bar top and dance floor. So far, they have 19 customers on a Friday night, Amanda (the drunk one who attacked another bartender and was fired by Taffer,) is back and doing a bad job bartending, and a regular started hitting on the female member of Jon's spy team right in front of the guy before blunting telling him he wanted to gently caress her.

We watched a few episodes yesterday and my conclusion is that there really is no reason for these bars to be saved. They go from crap bar to mediocre bar and they would be better off going out of business and letting someone better at running a bar take over the space.

I guess they're Bar Rescuing some shithole a half mile from my house in southeast MI currently. I drove by earlier and met up with a few attendees after they shut it down during the stress test. Something about terrible service, mold, broken glass...the usual. I had heard rumors the place was going to be on the show, but I dismissed them immediately since the place is so vile. Another birdy told me that the reveal is coming Tuesday but I'll be at work and from the crowd I saw earlier, it's going to be annoying as hell.

The revisit episode tonight was a new one, right? I don't know why they even bothered with that Headhunters douche. It should have ended with him getting the poo poo beaten out of him but it was just like: - "Give me the money you owe me" - "No" - "ok"

Showing a revisit of bars including Zan z Bar and Piratz now. Just finished the piratz episode before it. Definitely got a laugh out of the butthurt staff from Piratz after it closed. "John yelled at us and did nothing to fix the place, so it closed". Not what TV and everyone else has been saying, but they all were fuckers that needed a reality check anyways

To be fair, CORPORATE bar and grill was a vile abomination. The concept sucked baby poo poo through a garden hose and the proposed attractions were product placement for gimmicky special magic ice and an instant cocktail machine whose inventors should be executed by firing squad.

I was there Friday while they were installing the cameras and none of the staff seemed to know when anything was going to happen. If they go by the same schedule as Hooch/Proving Ground in Dearborn Heights, the re-open will be Tuesday night. Anybody ever been at one of the Bar Rescue bars during filming? Did you know a guy who knew a guy or did you just stand around and wait forever? I wanna complain about warm beer and dirty bathrooms so loving bad you guys.

I just think nothing could have really fixed Piratz. Most of the places they show used to be functioning well that just over time fell apart, but Piratz seemed like a mess from the start.

Besides Corporate what was the most stupid makeover theme in the show? Anyway I just watched the episode with the bar that had 18 and over nights where John was royally outraged that they were allowing illegal underage drinking to go on. And then he remodels it into a loving Speak Easy lol. One with an Auto Body front facade that will probably be ripped out within weeks. edit: lol Im watching the episode where Taffer started a riot where his crew gets attacked and then gets outraged even though it was literally all his fault Shimrra Jamaane fucked around with this message at 07:18 on Sep 7, 2015 |

The Steampunk bar was a pretty stupid concept, I think that might have been the worst. Even if the owner wasn't a crazy person I don't think it would have lasted.

Heh in Austin that might have worked. It sure seems Taffer doles out the dumb ideas on the owners that seem headed for failure no matter what - Piratz, Headhunters, Y-Not, etc.

I almost think John got in over his head with Piratz. Every other time they'll try and at least pretend to go along before they change back and fail, but she didn't even care about her daughter's future over her bar so I almost think he did the change to spite her.

I won't deny corporate was a lovely way to go, but I think john realized nothing was really going to stay if it wasn't her pirate poo poo. So might as well give them something lovely that'll make some money or give them some remote hope of chance and let him slip out the door before the place collapsed in on itself again. Hell, the fact they put that retard back in the kitchen that couldn't cook for poo poo (especially his "signature dish" he spit out) should say it all right there. the revisit was hysterical "Oh yes, love, the fish is fresh flown in just for you" *throws a frozen fish brick on the grill, cooks it half way through* SocketWrench fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Sep 8, 2015 |

It's surreal how utterly fake the newer seasons feel despite how genuine Taffer comes across as in interviews and stuff like that podcast. Maybe it is real, but some wires get crossed and causes us to get broadcasts from the diminsion where it's all reality show bullshit.

The logic could have been "if the relaunch is even tangentially similar to a pirate theme, they'll eventually slip back into their old ways", or "if the relaunch is even tangentially similar to a pirate theme, everyone in the area will assume it's still the same poo poo with a different name". Or it could have just been a legit misfire on Taffer's part. Somebody a while back suggested that the "corporate" theme could have worked if the idea had been to subvert the theme, like, a more after-hours office workers cutting loose kind of concept. I think it's still not great, since nobody except Patrick Bateman types thinks of themselves as corporate, but it might have made the pirate dipshits more amenable to the relaunch.

It was a poo poo idea, but I think the logic behind it was to cleanse it of any and all traces of that pirate poo poo to try to force them to actually act like professionals running a business instead of a black hole they throw money into while living out pirate renn-faire fantasies.
