hello everyone hope you're having the most wonderful day today welcome to the Film Insight
channel for today's video we're going to discuss some more Bar Rescue bars and reveal how they're
doing now so sit back relax and without further ado let's get right into the content guys Barlows
since Barlows was purchased by susan wood and her ex-husband the bar has never had a heyday
in order to attract some customers the owner decided to give businessman john saval equal
partnership and command of the kitchen though things didn't get better with his help not
only did he spend thirty thousand dollars on the kitchen equipment the customers always complained
about how slow the service was on top of this with the mounting pressure what gave into the
temptation of partying and started drinking with our patrons this destructive habit put barlows on
the verge of bankruptcy with a crippling debt of 100 plus thousand dollars with the business
on the verge of failing wood called out to the bar rescue team and john tapper for some aid
upon his arrival to the bar tavern pointed out that it looked more like a family restaurant
than a drinking establishment wanting to get a scope of the customer service the bar rescue
host sends in three season bartenders for recon when they entered they noticed that both staval
and wood were present but were drinking and giving each other cold stairs rather than doing their job
ordering some beer which comes back warm and some food that was extremely greasy
the spies are utterly disappointed entering the premises tapper talks with both owners
at separate tables since tensions would rise when they were near one another following this one of
the mixologist experts russell davis checks out the bar area which is caked with filth
meanwhile expert chef tiffany dairy inspects the kitchen and finds an outbreak of mold on some of
the walls leaving and returning the next day taphr holds a staff meeting and is revealed that the bar
only has one to two months left to go it also came to his attention that the booze was being stolen
by some of the employees which resulted in nikki being fired performing a stress test to see how
barlows would handle an influx of customers things went generally well wood showed great improvement
as a manager but staval made the mistake of leaving the hood fan off while cooking which
resulted in a smoke-filled kitchen what an idiot for this very reason wind was praised by taffer
for improvement and saval was deranked as kitchen manager giving the position to an employee named q
later on the mixologist taught the staff how to make simple but delicious cocktails while dairy
introduced dishes that were both sophisticated and still had a bar feel renaming barlows to the
comeback sports and grill the outside was given a brand new sign and paint job and the interior
received tons of aesthetic changes comeback's grand reopening was met with great success and
the business partners finally seemed to put their better rivalry aside in order to work together
post bar rescue it seemed like the bar was doing all right getting mixed reviews on yelp and ship
advisor most of the praise went to the food and staff but some complained about the music
being too loud and that the patrons would on occasion get violent though it seems like
in october of 2017 compact ironically closed down for unknown reasons and never came back
some speculate that the place was bought out but it's really unclear what actually happened to it
characters quarters back in 2010 guy waver left the entertainment business to open up
a character themed bar with his mom helen and his stepfather charlie his stepsister
alex was hired as a waitress to make it a full family affair but guy admits that the bar left
his family 350 thousand dollars in debt while at first the bar was doing extremely well thanks to
its unique concept the novelty quickly went away and so did their customers on top of all this the
financial issues caused a lot of tension between the family members resulting in a lot of arguments
not knowing what else to do the family reached out to john tafford for some much needed guidance
when he arrives with his two specialists taffer notices that the place looks like it was made for
children since it had a cartoonish aesthetic next the bar rescue host shows footage to his experts
of both guy and alex arguing and bickering in front of the customers sending in two spies to get
a customer's perspective one of them immediately asks alex why she's wearing a baseball uniform
supposedly it's part of the character theme though alex is acting like herself rather than
someone else which defeats the character aspect ordering some drinks they come back tasting
sour and the food is bathed in gravy which was unpleasant to say the least having seen enough
tap for heads into the bar and meets with all four family members of the back of the building
it comes to the bar rescue hosts attention that the business doesn't have anyone with good
managerial experience bringing up the fact that he saw alex and guy arguing on camera this causes
a fight to erupt which ends with guy admitting that he didn't train his stepdaughter properly
holding a staff meeting later on in the day most expressed that they hate wearing costumes and that
the customers think it's childish following this exchange the experts were finally able to work
their magic with mixologist russell davis teaching the bartenders how to make simple cocktails
and jeff bryan duffy introducing easy and delicious recipes once the family seemed to
be on the same page and the staff members were sufficiently trained tafer began the renovations
renaming character's quarters to moonrunner saloon the bar completely dropped its character gimmick
the interior was completely revamped and given a southern moonshiner good old boy's vibe making
the bar look more mature fast forward after taffer and his team left his expertise proved
to be very useful since the bar got back on his feet rocking a solid four stars on yelp
additionally guy and allies who were constantly at each other's throats seem to cooperate
much better most people seem to praise the excellent atmosphere and service while the food is
pretty mixed nonetheless we have to admit that this rescue was a complete success
labad's bar and grill back in 2006 labad's opened its doors under the ownership of jessica demelo
with the financial help of her father barry in order to help with the operations jessica
hired her brother david as a co-owner alongside their cousin lenny who would work in the kitchen
during the businesses hey days it brought in close to 40 thousand dollars a month since
it had no competitors in the area additionally lenny's signature pizza was a hit amongst the
locals which brought in tons of customers alone though things really took a nosedive when lenny
unexpectedly took his own life due to personal issues closing the kitchen due to his absence
the sudden lack of food drove customers away to other establishments on top of this jessica's
decision to only hire friends and family did the business more harm than good hoping to save
the bar from closure barry desperately called out to john taffer for his professional help
upon his eventual arrival taffer and mixologist peter o'connor have a conversation with barry who
admits he recently invested forty thousand dollars into the business to keep it alive
however he's starting to feel like labad's is more of a social club than a drinking
establishment which is the biggest issue needing a customer's perspective the bar
rescue host sends in chef tony jamigani and bartender brenda for some recon
ordering two cocktails they were way too strong and when brenna tries to ride the mechanical bull
it's as full of life as a corpse oddly enough one of the bartenders named eddie disgustingly takes
a shot out of his own shoe which is met with smiles and laughter by the staff disturbed by
what he had just seen tafer and barry head into the bar and sit down with jessica and david to a
surprise he learns that the mellow children have absolutely no knowledge of the bar industry it
would certainly explain why they're intentionally overpouring alcohol losing profits in the process
returning the next day tafran is experts attempt to teach the incompetent staff some basic skills
okana shows them how to make a captain's choice cocktail which is a popular alcoholic beverage in
the area following this the bar rescue host ran a stress test to see how the labatt's employees
would perform let's just say that it didn't go very well the bartenders were completely
overwhelmed with the increased traffic and due to a shortage of glassware they were forced to
use plastic cups eddie the shoe drinker worked at an incredibly slow pace while his colleagues were
cracking things out while the test was rather successful tafra returned the following day to
discuss the bar's finances supposedly the bar had an extremely high 45 percent beverage cost
rather than the usual 21 percent so he gave the mantle of managing lebat's expenses to jessica
later on tapper reveals to the owners their resurrected kitchen which was cleaned and
decked with better equipment tapper's experts then teach the staff how to make the new menu items
which would include a collection of pizzas and whiskey-based cocktails with everything set up the
bar rescue host was finally able to start working his magic beginning with changing the bar's name
now called the bad seaside tavern he gave the exterior a new paint job and added c-related
murals to perfectly fit the seaside community labs was filled with maritime decor and the lifeless
mechanical bowl was replaced with a gray whale sources say that the bar is still open to this
day though they haven't posted on their facebook since 2019. regardless the reviews on yelp seem to
say that the food is excellent and the atmosphere is great at least they're doing well well that'll
