Bar rescue how does it work




















Despite this, the show has been going strong for seven seasons and over episodes. The show began airing on Spike on July 17, and completed its seventh season on June 7, Yet despite the ever-growing roster of bars in need of repair, the story behind Bar Rescue may prove just as interesting as the personalities and stories it presents.

There's a lot of good stuff going on behind the scenes. Launched on November 27, , NFL Sunday Ticket served as a way to broadcast out-of-market games to local affiliates. It was largely aimed at people who were fans of a specific team but couldn't watch their games owing to designated market areas. If anyone can help a failing bar, it's Jon Taffer. Taffer had thirty years' experience in the restaurant business before Bar Rescue premiered in Taffer got his first bartending job in when he was just nineteen years old.

In , he became the manager of a West Hollywood nightclub called The Troubadour. He finally opened his own bar in at the age of No, we didn't know the Nightclub Hall of Fame was a thing, either. But yes, it absolutely is. Following years of managerial duties and owning his own bars, Taffer was appointed as president of the Nightclub and Bar Media Group in It was then that he was inducted into the Nightclub Hall of Fame.

Like we said, there was no better man to lead Bar Rescue. The following year he was hired by the producers of Bar Rescue , and the rest is history. How do you pick which experts to use on the show? Where do you get your suits? He also makes custom suits for Obama and the cast of Boardwalk Empire. What is your advice for someone trying to be a bartender or break into the industry? If you want to learn to be a GREAT bartender, then you have to work in a place with a great cocktail program.

Work for a bar and gain experience! How do you recruit people for your stress tests and initial recon? When we shoot Bar Rescue, I try really hard to keep it real. That being said, we fill for stress tests by asking local businesses. It was something I came up with when I was looking at a dance floor one day. We use cookies to improve your website experience.

Every episode is pretty much the same. It's not natural lighting. Even before they do the so called recon they come in and set up the cameras and lighting. Maybe not scripted but it is all staged and pretty unrealistic stories.

Bryan- 12 April Like all "reality" shows this is full of trumped up drama. Drama is the key word here. The host knows his stuff but his ridiculous over the top yelling makes me cringe. Some will find it funny. I'm amazed it's managed to have so many episodes made for it. Kitchen Nightmares is much more entertaining. Bar Rescue is another in a long line of reality shows littering this decade of television.

Each show features veteran Bar and Restaurant entrepreneur John Taffer rescue a failing establishment at the behest of it's debt-ridden owners. In the morning, he returns with a new dose of fury, continuing his scorched earth approach and throwing a fit when he sees poor business practices, greasy stoves, substandard refrigeration units, and evidence of over pouring and skimming. Along the way, we're treated to the usual array of arguments between the stubborn owner's refusal to accept change and Taffer's vision of what the bar should be.

More disturbing than anything is the realization affirmation? Why reward them with a bailout? The show runs on the false premise that Taffer can wave a magic wand and in three days undo the rotten business practices and human failings these idiots have maintained over a lifetime. I guess a compliment should be made for this show running into it's eighth season with a shoestring plot and little room for variation.

It's also a testament to how low many people's viewing standards are today. I was a fan of the show until they did a bar in my neighborhood and realized what a scam they were. Absolutely scripted reality show. Bar closed down 2 months after the show. Every show looks like a success story but that just isn't believable. Give me a break. ShooShooFontana 26 July Don't get me wrong. I love the show. But the so-called "stress test" is complete crap. It is only on the rarest of occasions and I speak from experience; my family has owned bars, restaurants and night clubs since the late s that you will get an instant full house.

A game or concert just let out, fine. But, on most days? You're not going from empty to full instantly. Doesn't happen. I started by binge watching this show on YouTube and now watching the show over pay TV. Yes you can tell its fake in some parts, there are forced exaggerated scenes but the general theme of the show 'dodgy bar with help becomes thriving bar' is interesting.

Aside from this, I've actually learnt so much from this show about the bar industry. I really like Taffers performance on each episode. Yeah its exaggerated and heavily edited, but isn't everything nowadays?

BobbyG 19 February This is a very interesting look at the competitive bar and restaurant business. Host Taffer pulls no punches with his incredibly blunt assessments which can make viewers cringe at times, but creates a lot of interesting reactions from the owners, managers and employees being berated.

He never fails to blurt out, "this is the worst I've ever seen" about something in the business he's trying to turn around. Although a lot of the show is scripted and contrived, it still pulls you in and keeps you watching. You may have a hard time eating out after seeing the deplorable condition of some of the kitchens.

The only suggestion I would make is that they provide more detailed numbers as far as revenues and profits in all of the episodes. There is some of this, but it didn't occur in all the episodes I observed.

Jon is firm but usually fair, and there's plenty of great advice on running a bar. Some episodes are wild and raunchy, while others are borderline tearjerkers. My only beef is occasionally Jon goes too far with the remodel and strips the bars of their characters, making it all generic and hipster-like. They usually knock it out the park though. But overall, this is a good time waster and it'll definitely keep you hooked.

I have mixed feelings about Bar Rescue. On the one hand, the typical "Reality" TV formula and attendant drama gets old fast. Personally, I could do without the yelling, screaming, crying, fighting and the needlessly- tight usually five day turnaround to "rescue" the bar. On the other hand, when Mr. Taffer gets in to the analysis of why some bars work and many fail the show becomes very interesting. Learning facts like that a bar that alienates women will likely fail, and that bartenders over-pouring due to a lack of training - or as an effort to boost their tips at the expense of the establishment's inventory- are the kind of insights that make the program watchable.

Taffer's ultimate point is that running a bar is not a good-time job or excuse to party. It is a business and like any small business, if an owner wants to be successful at it he or she has to be ready to effectively deal with the necessary inventory, personnel, budget, compliance and marketing responsibilities. A challenge Bar Rescue has to contend with is that viewers can easily see for themselves how the rescued bar does after the show's filming.

By the time an episode airs the renovated bar has had a few months to operate under the new recommended fixes. A quick Yelp search usually undermines the rosy ending.

In many cases the bar still fails, or reverts to its old habits. The reviews sometimes reveal that the rapid hour renovations done for dramatic effect and production schedules are pretty slap-dash on closer inspection, or that the changes to the bar made by the show were not in compliance with local law.

I actually think Bar Rescue could spruce itself up if it was a more professional, measured presentation that took more time than just five days to really work with transforming a bar.

The formulaic theatrics and shouting, coupled with the slapdash renovation and the uncomfortable sense that a lot of the fixes really won't stick detracts from what could be a really interesting program about how to run a successful bar. I watch this show purely on entertainment value, and when nothing else good is on. Jon Taffer does nothing but yell and scream. I'm sorry, but if the bar owners I worked for ever had him speak to them like that, he would be laid out on the floor. That may be well and good for big city bars, but the small town taverns I use to frequent in and around central Iowa, that crap would not fly at all.

He and his crew would be either beat up, or end up in someone's field under ten feet of dirt. It has to be scripted, I can't see someone taking that abuse in real life. Let him come around central Iowa sometime and pull that. He won't last long I can tell you that much. Now that I think about it, maybe that's why he never comes around here. Like I said it's OK for a filler show to watch when nothing else is on, and I admit, some things he does is kinda cool, but all the yelling, screaming, and name calling he does is either very scripted, or he's got a death wish that no one has granted him yet.

Worth a watch, but take it all with a grain of salt. John Taffer can be a hard headed S. I used to work for a pub called Jenro's Classic Pub back in the mid to late 's. The owner boss and friend of mine Mike Lambaiso had the right idea but failed in a lot of other areas. What he got right was catering to the neighborhood the Pub was located in. Where he failed was not upgrading equipment and also not targeting younger hipper people with money.

I worked every corner of the building. Last position I held was outdoor Patio Bartender. I wish Bar Rescue had been around in 99 when the bar failed and was limping weakly towards when the name changed to Jenro's We had been booking bands and their friends and fans got too rowdy and out of control to the point of bar room brawl with bloodshed.
