hello everyone hope you're having the most amazing day today welcome to the Film Insight channel
for today's video we're gonna get into some bar rescue facts that you might not have known about
so sit back relax and without further ado let's get into this content guys completely false
when you're someone who's not only very accomplished but not afraid to say what's
on your mind there's going to be a lot of people that are going to hate you with an impressive cv
like jon Taffers you could imagine that there are tons of people out there that don't really
like him very much but it's not only random nobodies who don't like taffer in his work
but accomplish bartenders too yes he could often be a very smart guy but he has said some things
that are entirely false and misleading like the time that he said tequila is inherently made from
mezcal which mescaline the hallucinogenic drug is made from so tequila can have a hallucinogenic
component you might be talking to someone who's not there the reality of it was that
this statement is a huge misunderstanding about where tequila comes from masculine and tequila
both do come from plants with similar names but they are from two completely different families
it might be easy to mistake this for someone who isn't so familiar with alcohol but especially
Taffer should know better he's also said things like don't drink too much to cure a
hangover which is the most aggravatingly obvious thing to say to someone or the time he mentioned
that every bartender should know how to make a screwdriver which is just orange juice and vodka
it's like saying every chef should know how to make nutella toast super insights man not real
you shouldn't be entirely surprised if you're an avid watcher of reality television that a lot of
it is fake or lightly scripted well bar rescue sadly is no exception to this common occurrence
let me get into exactly why it's fake without even needing to watch an episode there have
already been several people out there who have come out to expose the show ones like nina wyatt
from schaefer's bar and grill who said that the production team gave them lines to make things
more engaging but as i mentioned she is not the only one out there who had things to say about
this so-called reality show the owner of the very same bar was told in his very first interview with
the team something absolutely ridiculous when brx was asked about how much money he was losing per
month he answered with what would you like me to say bar rescue's team said for our story you're
going to be losing 10 000 a month and losing your house and closing down next month all of
this was a humongous distortion of the facts but you know it's needed for people to keep interest
in the show pirates tavern which is another bar that appeared on the show expressed something
very similar they were told to bring several different clothes to make it seem like they
were filming over the course of a few days and they brought in extras like a fictional tv show
success rate even with the now obvious scripting that takes place on the show
the struggles these bars face are very real and not all of them will come out on top in the end
so then how many of these failing businesses listen to taffer's advice and really end up
saving the existence of their bar it seems like by the end of the seventh season he had tried to help
exactly 187 total bars and the results are pretty good of the 187 there were 94 that stayed open 83
that closed down and 10 that decided to sell their business really not too bad is it taffer even
expressed that he doesn't really mind when one of the bars he tried to save ends up closing down why
you might ask well he expressed in an interview with bro bible why failures aren't that bad
taffer put it this way if i hit a home run 80 of the time and you want to talk about
the 20 times that i missed swinging the bat i'm okay with that but i hit 80 of the time
so i have nothing to be embarrassed about what makes this even more interesting is that he
doesn't give up after helping the bar once he leaves he's able to check through digital cash
registers he installs just how well the bar is doing these registers are all connected to an app
and notify taffer's phone so he could see exactly how well or poorly his rescue is doing at the end
of the day though he doesn't shut a tear or get upset when a business doesn't end up doing well
it's not like it's a living breathing person after all massive failure what if i told you
that the most expensive bar to be rescued in the show's history ended up being a colossal failure
this is exactly what happened to the la brewing company which is dubbed as the
most costly renovation to date but the worst or in my opinion the funniest part is that
all of this was for nothing since they just crashed and burned before the show the bar
was suffering after allegedly going through a legal dispute with one of their partners
which put the la company in a deep pool of debt they really needed taffer's help he added in
some truly amazing things to their business like brewing vats and a huge brewing system
all of this cost to show hundreds of thousands of dollars but even months after they were still
failing very hard Taffer expressed that the reason why this might not have happened was because they
never used the equipment he gave them making it only their fault apparently la weekly had some
other things to say about this situation yes the business might not have implemented the changes
but they also couldn't use the brewing system due to the permits the show failed to give them
though that was the least of their problems the bar completely ignored the menu changes and only
had a few beers on tap their debt was still so incredibly overwhelming that they thought it
would just be best to sell the bar instead when the bar rescue found out that they were gonna
sell to get out of debt he was at least glad to help them get in a better place financially
dark episode there was one bar rescue that aired but was quickly removed and is hard to find to
this day because of how dark and controversial it was in a 2013 episode Jon Taffer and his crew go
to nashville to save yet another endangered bar it was called pit and barrel with the show making it
seem like the bar's owner chris farrell was a part of the problem this was mostly because in almost
every situation pharaoh would be quick to lose his temper with his staff thankfully by the end of the
episode a graphic of text is shown telling the viewers that pharaoh had not lost his temper with
a staff after the show's taping due to taffer's guidance but what really makes his graphics so
bone chilling is that he really lost his temper but this time with one of his patrons the patron
was an outlaw country singer named wayne mills who drank at the pit in barrel on november 23 2013.
once the bar closed the owner and mills who were supposedly good friends got into an argument
it had gotten so bad that farrell shot and killed the country singer claiming it was
done in self-defense after this the episode was immediately pulled from its first planned airing
but later was released anyway this caused a lot of outrage in the end pharaoh was charged with
second degree murder and is still serving a 20 year sentence to this day isn't that
just so incredibly dark guys intense schedule to anyone who hasn't had any experience with film
or show production being on set can be rough for a number of reasons like how time can be limited
in certain areas so you have a lot of pressure to get things done quick this is something the bars
that agree to appear on the show will experience since things will move very quickly according to
jon taffer himself the crew only has 5 days total to complete a bar rescue and move on to the next
all of which includes evaluating the bar renovating it and scouting competing bars to make
sure that they are one step ahead each day on set will be a grueling 12 hours with the second day
supposedly being one of the craziest of all tafer will almost always start yelling at the bar owners
and telling them how horrible of a job they're doing on this specific day as mentioned by a
supposed producer on reddit they will place hidden cameras before the full crew arrives and there is
a pre-production shooting as well by the time they get to the 5th day they've already revamped the
business completely and the episode is done in the end the makeover is financial and cosmetic
but if the owner doesn't know how to manage a business it's all for nothing choosing bars
have you ever wondered how the bars that appear on the show are chosen to be given a helping hand
well we've wondered that too but honestly the process is actually not really that complicated
at all to land a spot on bar rescue you'll need to do what many other reality shows would do and fill
out an application this will consist of asking for basic personal information like your name
email states and city which then moves into more specific questions like how much is your
business losing on a monthly basis and so on it's almost as if you're applying for a job but this
one pays for you with new gear and national recognition well that will sadly be all for
