Eh, the perfect place for a gimmick bar that won't have many actual regulars is Las Vegas.

The thing that struck me most about the zombie bar was how not into the necessary showmanship the one guy was. When he went outside to open it up after the remodel, he was just like "Welcome to The End. Comeinsideifyouwannalive.  "You need to put a corny over-the-top voice with that.

Inkspot posted:I could have easily listened to Jon and Jonah talk about The Troubadour for a couple hours. Yea. Taffer had some great stories. Sad that it was so short of an interview. His story about the UFO and robot was hilariously up to the point he mentions a women died at that club due to a light falling.

Finally got around to watching the Delusional Owners one, glad to see 22 Klicks doing well. Why would that bartender work at Headhunters/Metal & Lace for SEVEN loving YEARS without getting paid?

I would bet they put up with not getting paid because they had job with no real supervision and could do whatever they wanted to do. I guarantee they were pocketing any drink money they could, on top of tips. empty baggie fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Sep 24, 2015 |

Did anyone else pick up on the wife in the Brix/Pacific Coast Wine Bar being a drunk, which was just glazed over? I'm surprised they villanized her husband, rather than the one who was evidently drunk, or at least very hungover in every shot. Would also explain the thousands of dollars in wine being unaccounted for.

Before I saw a single episode of Bar Rescue I thought that all the thread references about a butt funnel were because John found some funnel in a bar that they were using for butt chugging.

He never said Dildo again, so 3, I think he might have said it 4 times. I'll find out on a sunday replay 2 years from now. I was hoping it would end in high single digits.

Funñy thing is. The road the bar is on is called Dix. Not even really that clever. If it's the bar I think it is, it's in a borderline skeevy area. It used to be called the Atlantis Lounge. Amazing Mexican place across the street though. I'm pissed I forgot to dvr this. Gonna have to wait forever to see it on demand. I guess he passed up a Detroit Red Wings themed bar near where they play to do this place instead.

You can probably already set your DVR to grab it.

The place gets slammed around a Red Wings game and then the place is barren after the season ends

Chix On Dix is a pretty horrible name, aside from being a one note joke. And going by the ending there, it'll be in next years "BR Failures" episode.

I knew the owners of a bar (they sold it years ago) on Cowell Avenue. One of them claimed they'd wanted to name it The Coxwell Inn but the liquor board wouldn't let them. As for Bar Rescue... That whole place was horrible and the episode was ridiculous. I really thought Taffer was going to say something like, "Maybe you should try something completely different like having somewhat attractive women for strippers". Sweets up on stage going "What have I got to smile about" and then about the entertainment instructor who works in a club that pulls in $30 million/year, "She's 40, she doesn't know anything" were the most entertaining parts of the ep. Then Taffer anchors the manager in the kitchen for the Stress Test just so he can later scream, "You're not doing anything to help the bar staff!" What was the point of that sort of manipulation. . And it's dodgy enough to order food in a decent strip club; what the heck is "meat and potatoes"? You couldn't pay to eat whatever the hell was on the plates in that dump.

It's especially ironic because Sweets is allegedly 21 and yet her obvious meth addiction made her look older than the 40 year old entertainment instructor.

Finally got around to watching the Back to the Bar show they did in front of an audience. They actually got DJ Blue Steel (aka "ALL IN!") to MC the event. Never saw that one coming. Also had Rudy, lead of the Cincinnati Sinners band, who revealed the show actually helped his band put out a CD (and that he's a minister too, of all things.) The big confrontation with Howard from Stand Up Scottsdale was pretty silly. They asked Brandy Beavers about him, they read an email that was supposedly unsolicited from his partner, and then he finally got escorted off the stage after knocking the card out of Jon's hand. Then Rudy played a song and that was that. They made it sound like he changed it back from the Laugh Factory on purpose because it made people he was getting A-listers every night, though I'm sure Laugh Factory pulled it themselves. And the whole time he made it out like Jon was dishonest and the whole scenario was a put on for the show, which was ironic given how the confrontation played out. But, overall a decent episode with all the characters.

When that first aired I figured the laugh factory thing was just for like a year then they'd have to pay out of their rear end to keep the name.

Decided to watch the strip club and the latest back to the bar episode. Did not expect the announcer to look like that at all. That strip club was bad, the "Power Strip" gimmick was bad, those girls were bad. French fries and little dried out meatballs are disgusting. I'm always amused by Vic Vegas on Bar Rescue, just because I saw him on Next Food Network Star. "Let's bring in Vic to see if we can do a food program here. Nope, we can't, bye Vic." The Standup Scotsdale thing always seemed kinda weird and forced. I kinda agree with Howard, if you've got the Laugh Factory name, you've got to have the big acts. He probably wouldn't be able to do that all on his own, no matter how good he was, so he'd need some help from Laugh Factory. If the Laugh Factory name was just nothing other than a name, I can see a problem there. I still think his attitude is bad, but it's clear that the story has been edited to make Jon look perfect and make Howard look like a crazy person.
