4 (More) Bars That Went From Bad To Worse 👎Bar Rescue 

I love how in the first one, the daughter did jump behind the bar after a moment to help people. She got back there with a smile to help. Jon was just testing her father. And he failed so hard.

“I don’t know how to use the cash register.” That’s EMBARRASSING for an owner to say. Like, that’s about BARE MINIMUM for any employee.

Jon Taffer arriving to the Flight of the Valkyries at the head of a bunch of golfers is the stuff of legend.

My mother owned 2 bars growing up. One when I was very young and it was fairly successful. She only drank socially then. The last I was of age and she became an alcoholic. I worked for her until I just couldn't watch her drink herself to death. She would "comp" her own drinks and those who drank with her. Her drinks alone were enough to sink her bar, up to 32 a day/night, add her "friends" to it and she ended up in huge debt. I got together with my siblings and forced her to sell it. She lost her butt on it but she didn't die. She's still a drinker but now drinks at home. We all lost our relationships with her because she blames us but whatever.

Funny, the guy in the second one didn’t wanna go downstairs to get ridiculed in front of everyone yet he’s watching his staff all night long like a creep💀

The “Hi this is John Taffer” at the end of every video gets me every time. Such a contrast from all the screaming

Every time Jon told the guy to take out the employees, every time he said “take them out” I laugh so hard, this proves he’s a legit mob boss!

All employees leave Daughter: Guess I'll help. Jon Taffer: Yeah no. You leave too. Daughter: Okay! 😆😆😆

“He’s coming up… lock the door.” Bro got into the wrong business to hide in an office 💀💀 it was nice to see Jon take it a little easier on that guy tho, you could tell he probably had some social issues and was terrified of people judging him

"Don't get high on your own supply" Moral of the story. Alcoholics shouldn't own bars. Period.

It blows my mind that a customer could have gone behind the counter, taken all the money out of their register and the first owner would have had no clue

Jon looked HILARIOUS riding in that golf cart!!! 😂 SUCH a SERIOUS EXPRESSION on his face - LOL!!!

jon: so why did you not protect your father’s legacy? bar owner: yes

Owner: "why is my bar failing?" Also owner: sits on ass drinking

Jon Taffer is like a strict and upright father who wants hes child to win in life. Lovin this man bruv

I love the image of Jon Taffer standing next to a golf cart as a dozen other carts come barreling in and gathering around him. Beautiful sight, peak television.

First owner is a perfect example of a boomer. Living off of his parent's success, but letting everything go to shit while they sit around and consume

That Brad guy has to be the worst owner ever lol. Dude is literally chilling at a booth, chilling getting hammered watching his place crash into the ground. Lol.

I worked at a gas station similar to the bar with an office. There were many reasons why I quit that job, but that was one of them. The owner and managers clearly did not care about the establishment and we as the workers were taking the brunt of all of the issues that they couldn't fix.

I died when the golf cart convoy was rolling in and Jon in that cart was priceless 😂😂

Jon: 8:56 *WHY DID YOU NOT PROTECT YOUR FATHER’S LEGACY!?* Brad: (pause) yes. he was so drunk he couldn’t even process it 💀😭

15:38 Jon rides his noble golf cart through the parking lot with his crew in tow in a valiant effort to save the livelihoods of 2 people! Cuts to inside of bar while one of the owners are probably trying to remember their Hulu password.

I’ve noticed watching this, that if a bar is failing, or lack of customers coming in, and all of the sudden a big group from out of nowhere comes in, you know there’s something wrong and Jon taffer is behind it 😂

I hope Mr Taffer sees this message. I recently was badly injured by a rocket that hit me and killed a friend in Iraq. I will say that compared to all others I was lucky as hell. I have all 10 fingers and all 10 toes, while my friend died. I plan to open a bar in my near future, but this show right here gets me!! Mr Taffer you don’t understand just how much you are doing here. You say your a businessman but the therapy you are working is completely underestimated. These owners that have given up are in depression and you lift them up, and the ones that make it give me hope that I can make it too!! Thank you

Stupid Owners: Jon I need your help! Save my bar! Also Stupid Owners: (Drinks every night and degrades staff)

It baffles me how everyone spends half their lives in these bars, and don't know a damn thing about whats going on inside. it seems a bit odd. But I guess it happens, a lot as it seems

I love how these people don't even argue back Gordon is tough and is a respectable person but Jon scares people shitless lol

Brad was handed the keys to success on a silver platter twice and today his bar is up for sale. One of the oldest surviving small businesses in my hometown could be demolished the next time I drive by it.

I always thought bar owners drinking on the job is a bad idea. I think they got to be sober in order to run the bar.

I love when Taffer goes right to the stress test

I feel like the second owners have some social issues and are afraid of judgment. I like how Jon was a little softer towards them. They just need to be helped a little.

John riding in a golf cart makes him look like a mob boss

*i love how they always stop the decoys from eating while there’s just hella other people eating in the background the whole time* 🤣

Imagine Jon Taffer at Amy’s Baking Company

Owner: are you going to ridiculize me in front of everybody? Jon: I might. Maybe you deserve it. Goes downstairs, instantly ridiculed 😂

I love how Jon, legit just starts a riot with just screaming at the customers to get mad. It is so freaking entertaining.

Brad’s story: surprised none of the customers haven’t created a ruckus for not having any drinks. Pepe’s story: auctioning off food. He’s afraid of being made fun of. Buddy, you’re always going to have someone make fun of you, successful or not.

I love when john says "disguise" its almost always just a baseball cap xD

I work at a chain restaurant as a server, busser, and host. I find myself so curious about how many buttons everyone else has to push to get an item in. My job is a place that takes pride in a massive menu. It takes about 11 buttons to ring in an order of wings for me, but once you cut out the "wake-up screen" tap, or the employee ###, its only about 5 buttons per item.

I love how when the owners see Jon they immediately swear cause they know they've screwed up

More bars getting worse? You don't say! Solution: let's drink until we have no profits!

The golf carts are gold. Nicely played, Jon.

This breaks my heart. For all the kids who grew up with a mom like this, you will never respect her until you learn to respect yourself. She didn't teach you that, and I am so sorry.

Initially I asked myself, "why is Jenny McCarthy there?" But then again, I ask that literally anytime I see her anywhere

“I wAnT tO sEe TaFfEr AnD rAmSeY tEaMuP” bro WE GET IT! This is like the top comment of every Bar Rescue video WE FUCKING GET IT!

For those curious, the "intense instrumental music" is Rise of the Valkyries. ^^

Jon -"WHY DID YOU NOT PROTECT YOUR FATHERS LEGACY!?" Drunk Bar Owner- "yes"

Seeing that guy Brad in the first video brings me back to the reason why I quit drinking. I couldn’t stand seeing my friends and family drink with that drunk face, and I thought it was disgusting so it made me quit over 5 years now.

So I live in Wyoming, but travel to Utah regularly. There are two types of bartenders in the state of Utah; Absolutely excellent ones that will blow your mind, or completely horrible ones that can't do anything other than pouring a beer on tap, (kind of) or popping a cap off a bottle. I'm not sure why, but that's what I've noticed over the years. Some of the best Bar Tenders are in Park City Utah, for obvious reasons.

I like the part where Jon gets mad.

Getting food to the right table is probably the easiest thing to do in a bar. How do these people constantly fail to do it?

Dude needs to take a breathalyzer for these drunk alcoholic owners ….

I binge watch the hell outta these because they’re so addicting.

After watching this video, my respect for my grandparents has increased

For the Pepe’s Bar, The World could literally be coming to a end and the owners wouldn’t care or even notice.

30:07 Taffer - i put them in disguise 🥸 Them- walks in wearing caps 🧢

He said "lock the door" hahaha What?! Imagine if she did lock the door, though! lmao

Of course the drop “Ride of the Valkyries” when the golfers roll up at 15:07

Imagine seeing Jon Taffer pull up in a golf cart 🤣

The Fifth: Illegal in the first place, and closed in 2021. The 2003 (yes, 2003!!) name change was never approved, so this bar was actually an illegality when Bar Rescue showed up at it. Pepe's: Owners didn't give a shit. Sold the bar shortly after the episode and moved on to their five other businesses. It's still open. King's Duck Inn: Went up for auction, 2021, no buyers. Kaput. Ray's: Ownership change to the niece.

The irony of Jenny McCarthy saying oh my god to health issues is hilarious.

I'm not going to lie, I'm out of a job right now because of a work injury. And I've been slacking off for 2 days straight because I should be looking for other jobs. This video kind of inspires me to actually get off my ass and start looking right after I finish this video.

6:49 you can clearly see 2 of the bartenders john just "pulled" just chillin in the back with the owner lmfao

LMAO at the customers reaction after Jon said "if you think this is fun wait til you see me tomorrow" 🤣🤣🤣

Tbh when the second one said "they make fun of me" i actually got emotional for a second.

I like how he said that one kitchen isn't for a commercial setting it's meant for home. I worked it out back steakhouse and they ran that kind of kitchen pretty damn good

35:57 “he was so fed up”😂😂

There's one restaurant here in town I would never eat from. I have seen the kitchen. In the double sink in the back in one side they had frozen chicken and in the other side they had Frozen fish. Both were completely immersed in water. First it ruins the protein for cooking because it is waterlog and second it makes it unsuitable for human consumption because it is in the danger zone for bacterial growth. Another time a bus pan full of raw chicken half uncovered on the floor where flies could just land on it and lay their eggs. Also, moisture could drip from underneath the sink onto the half uncovered raw chicken.

I laugh when in the first clip when he says take the daughters out too lol sounds like he's putting a hit out on them

okay Jon sitting on a golfcart in the middle of the night like a fucking G is my mood.

I like when the man said he knew the drink was going to suck because it was being served in the wrong glass 😅.

You could see with bar #3 the two owners were petrified to be around the guests or employees..... it makes you wonder why they would open their bar in the first place, or maybe it got like that over time. My father owned a bar for about 3 years when I was a kid. I know he was there 24/7. It's SO much commitment, you gotta try any way you can to make it successful.

LNFAO 35:54 that guy soul broke when jon threw his beer😭😭😭

5:35 "I'm gonna take out one of the bartenders" this is so ominous lmao Edit: 7:02 "take the daughters out as well" 🤣

"People make fun of me. They ridiculize me!" Gee. I cannot imagine why.

The ride of the Valkyries playing while john lead the charge of golf carts was hilarious!

Whoever does sound editing for these absolutely deserves a sack of money and a promotion.

I'm amazed, I watch shows like this and still have an appetite.

Okay the music when Jon drives in on the golf cart 😂😂😂 I would love to be fly on the wall for all of these 😂😂

jon pullin up with a dead look on his face with a mob of golf carts fucking killed me 😂 and the music made it so much better oml

Best thing to watch while on break working in a kitchen

15:45 Owner: "Why do I hear boss music?" That music fits what's happening xD Jon face literally I can't stop laughing about it 😭🤣

Don: doesn’t care about his restaurant, doesn’t show his employees any respect Also Don: thinks the reason employees don’t stay is because of “the industry”

The “Ride of the Valkyries” music with the golf carts was priceless.

35:44 - 36:03 Oh My Lanta Don who had a messy kitchen who had to clean-It-up. Also Taffer taking dons beer 🍺 away. 😂😂😂

“Why don’t they stick long enough?” “Because of the industry I guess” “It’s you” Found that funnier than it was

36:26 “ watch yourself because you are going to have a great relationship with your toilet “ shit had me dead 😂

The muffled Flight of the Valkyries on the cut to the office room is absolute comedic genius.

I feel kinda bad for the first guy because his dad just recently passed so i definitely think he’s not grieving properly and that’s reflecting on everything else

I love the scene with the golf carts, the music makes it all the more better, it's like John is bringing an army to bring this place to its knees

Flight of the Valkyries playing during the golf cart motorcade killed me lol!

My levels of anger -Salty -Grumpy -Angry -Jon Taffer 😂😂

16:17 those owners didn't give a crap when their bar was packed... I remember working at a restaurant back in 2010 where the owner (who was a sweet lady) would rub her hands like Birdman when the restaurant was packed lol

I had no idea Pepe's was on bar rescue, I live right by it. My stepmom has been there, she described it as a dive bar.

“lock the door” is absolutely krazy😮😂

So glad to see how our health departments and inspections are assuring our safety! The conditions we're seeing take time to develop so it's painfully obvious these government agencies are failing us. Myself, I've been to rowdy bars and sometimes enjoyed them but that last guy, I'd have walked out. Actually did that a couple of years ago, walked in with my young adult daughter one night for their famous burgers. The owner was absent, the heavy metal was so loud we literally couldn't talk so we left. I eat well and tip well, they lost money because it was a loud party and not a bar/grill. I did speak to the owner....I know him....and I believe it was addressed. Been back with my other two daughters and had a fine time.

on the last one, 35:52 when he kept drinking that beer and john said "gimme that" IDK why I lost it😂

15:06 I lost it the moment the music started :DDD

No one gets out of a vehicle more emphatically than jon taffer

this is the hallmark of any "leader". I am completely sold on the teamwork concept. I don't care if I pick up a broom or pull cases from the store room. I will understand every aspect of all elements taking place. Let your staff know they are doing everything you would do yourself.
