content guys albanians bar and grill for a season 3 episode Jon Taffer pays a visit to obanion's bar
and grill to bring it back on its feet purchased in 2005 by jerry with the help of his brother dave
and steve they were met with a decent amount of success in the beginning effortlessly making 25
000 a month for the first two years the co-owners decided to leave jerry to manage it all on his own
however since he enjoyed the party scene jerry began to drink on the job and would even buy
drinks for his patrons what's more he makes the staff extremely uncomfortable and drives customers
away with his unprofessional behavior fed up with seeing their business slowly die steve and
dave called out the Taffer for his professional guidance upon his eventual rival Taffer talks with
the two co-owners about the bar's issues and they reveal that they invested 320 000 dollars from the
banks collectively with their homes as collateral placing the blame completely on jerry the owners
expose the fact that they only have seven months left before they'll be forced to close down
hoping to give jerry a piece of their mind taffer and the two other co-owners head straight into
the bar to confront him things get pretty heated when steve and dave tell her friend that he's dead
weight and that they're planning to take the business back from him since he only has a 20
stake kicking him out in the process jerry doesn't leave quietly and drunkenly crisis all the way to
the parking lot leaving and returning the following day tafro was a meeting with the
staff who expressed that they hate how their boss's behavior is robbing them of their salary
surprisingly jerry attended this meeting sober and claimed that he's acting this way because
his partners abandoned him while there isn't any excuse for how awful he's been as an owner steve
and dave agreed that they need to spend more time supporting him later on taffer brings in
his experts including renowned mixologist trevor fry and chef nick liborato who inspect the area
starting with the kitchen liberato notices that the grease trap is completely full and smells
dreadful since it's growing harmful bacteria after deep cleaning the area and training the staff on
the basics of mixing and cooking taffer was ready to launch a stress test even though things got
pretty hectic with the staff getting overwhelmed and tables getting the wrong orders jerry managed
to get by without drinking and tried his very best impressed with his willingness to change
the co-owners promised that they wouldn't buy him out of the business following some training
renaming the place to sorties tavern and giving the place an aesthetic overhaul the bar's future
was seeming bright post bar rescue the owners revealed that their drink sales went up by 20
and their food by 100 which is amazing thankfully jerry continued to stay sober on the job and
was getting along with his staff unlike before unfortunately due to medical reasons the owners
were forced to sell the place in 2016 but it's still being run under the same name while the
bar had pretty negative reviews after the rescue this changed drastically under the new ownership
mt bottle in another season 3 episode Jon Taffer heads over to mt bottle in murfreesboro tennessee
to rescue it from closure owned by a man named tracy he opened this beer-only bar back in 2008
hiring his wife gina as the manager using the sex appeal of his bartenders to get customers
in his business has been pretty successful though since beer is the only thing they
offer many patrons started to bring their own brown bag liquor considering that they're 250
000 in debt and are operating without a liquor license they're on the verge of closure not
knowing how else to proceed the owner called out to Taffer and his team for some much needed help
when he finally arrives alongside big smo a country rap artist who got a start at the bar
and an expert chef named stretch they point out that the exterior looks like a shop entrance
watching through cctv cameras they take notice of gina who's wearing a shirt with nipple rings
which isn't exactly something a manager should be wearing hoping to get a better idea of the
customer experience taffer sends in two locals named rick and jim for recon since the bar oddly
has a bring your own boost policy the spies bring their own which is already costing the business
revenue one way the bar seems to make money is by getting the bartenders to expose their chests for
five dollars which is so trashy as the spies share their liquor with other customers taking
away even more potential business the owners don't seem to care and are playing darts fed
up with what he was seeing Taffer heads straight into the bar and confronts the negligent owners
after some discussion Taffer learns that they can't pay for a lifter license so they have to
rely on byob to bring customers in clearly the owners seem pretty troubled about the state of
the bar so Taffer promised to use his money to get them electric license taking a look around
the famous rescuer finds a weird contraption that gets rid of bottles and cans and sends them
directly to the basement what's more Taffer finds a pool of water that looks extremely polluted and
stinks which could be a possible hazard insisting that they get the water tested the bar rescue host
threatens to leave if it's black mold holding a staff meeting the following day tafa reveals that
they didn't have any black mold and gives gina the new liquor license introducing his experts
soon after they teach the clueless staff how to bartend and cook basic meals launching a
stress test after everyone was brought up to speed it's safe to say that it was a complete disaster
aside from tracy walking out mid-service and leaving his staff with an overwhelming amount
of work the drinks were awful and the kitchen floor was flooded so the bar was shut down
following a chat with the owners the next day they promised to step up in any way they could
which was a step in the right direction finally Taffer trained the staff even further changed the
bar's name to bottles and cans brighten up the bar with beautiful colors and improve the decor
weeks after being on the show the business was set to make 30 thousand dollars that month which was
a solid improvement thankfully tracy started to act like an actual owner and made sure to
follow through with taffer's changes sadly they were stripped of their liquor license and ended
up closing down in december of 2019 tragically the owner passed away several months later and
the business was sold to new owners in january of 2020. fairways golf and grill as our final entry
we're going to discuss a bar that Taffer hoped to rescue from closure called fairways golf and grill
owned by richard jordan he purchased the bar after retiring from his decade-long career in finance
for whatever reason jordan thought it would be a good idea to drop 40 000 on a golf simulator for
the bar but it made no money testing out a whole slew of other marketing strategies like bingo
nothing really seemed to boost their business since he was barely making any money he was forced
to go back to being an accountant to keep fairways afloat being 150 thousand dollars in debt and at
risk of losing his business for good jordan called out to Taffer for some help upon his eventual
rival with health inspector steve blavat they take a look at some footage of the kitchen completely
disgusted with what they see they notice that there's grease everywhere and leaky pipes
this time around rather than send in random people for recon taffer uses his expert chef brian duffy
and mixologist phil wills soon after entering they order everything on the menu which shocks the
manager michelle but she complies and calmly makes all the drinks on the other hand the restaurant
chef kevin starts freaking out and fails to realize that he's cross-contaminating after trying
the beer that they ordered willis was so repulsed by the taste of what he drank that he threw up
several times in the bathroom appalled by what he just saw taffer heads into the bar with the health
inspector and they confront jordan about his poor practices through some digging they figured out
that the reason why wills got so sick was because the beer had long been expired heading into the
kitchen later on they noticed that not only is the floor filthy but so is the fryer pots and air
system to make matters even worse the walk-in has mold on both the inside and outside which
could be a potential hazard so the famous rescuer has it tested leaving and returning the following
day tavr holds a staff meeting and reveals that the bar is safe and forces everyone to deep clean
the area once everything was completely clean taffer's experts were brought in to train the
staff for the upcoming stress test starting the stress test soon after it was a complete mess
overall since the bartenders made tons of errors what's more the kitchen was just as bad since
kevin sent out food at a sluggish pace and even confused the servers leading to them delivering
food to the wrong tables due to the immensely poor feedback from patrons taffer disappointedly had to
shut things down hosting another meeting with the staff later on kevin is called out for his lack
of skill in the kitchen and justifiably gets fired by michelle considering the fact that they finally
discarded their dead weights james the assistant cook was given kevin's position fast forward to
the end of the episode after the fairways team was trained even further taffer was finally ready to
move into the renovations renaming the place to brew you the famous rescuer gave the business a
coffee and beer bar theme and gave it a complete makeover post bar rescue the owner reported that
the bar was earning five thousand dollars a month which is definitely a step up unfortunately the
bar's debts were way too high and they were forced to close down in december of 2014. well that'll
