let's get right into the content guys sac town sports bar and grill for a season 7 episode Jon
Taffer and his team head over to sac town sports bar and grill in old town sacramento
owned by chris eaton a retired police officer since 2016 he's always wanted to run a bar of his
own this stream was certainly realized especially considering that it was located close to a tourist
hot spot meaning it was a golden opportunity for eaton even though things were popping
off in the beginning reality hit eaton pretty hard since he had no bar experience whatsoever
focusing on all the wrong things the owner signed over 800 jerseys in his bar but didn't even know
how to properly pour a drink on top of this the staff members completely lost the respect
for eaton many of them just drinking on the job their new chef ricardo was hired to hopefully turn
things around but the owner was too stubborn to let him make changes which wasn't helpful in any
way shape or form ethan is in 450 000 of debt so he called out to a professional for some guidance
Taffer responded to this call by making his way to the bar with a world famous recording artist
named t payne after learning about the fact that a woman named mary died in the basement of the bar
as a result of a flooding incident taffer was in awe wanted to get a look into the service quality
though the bar rescue host entered sac town alongside t-pain and 40 other people ordering
some wings new york chip steaks french dip as well as some cocktails it shouldn't be a surprise that
what they ordered was awful not only was their steak practically raw in the middle but as they
eat the patrons even tell them not to bother with buying food additionally the wings they ordered
were undercooked and rubbery and the drinks were terribly strong returning the following
day Taffer confronts the owner alongside the rest of the staff about his horrible experience
supposedly the staff have very polarizing opinions about the bar's theme expressing that most of
the tourists who pass by are women and that they aren't interested in sports at all soon after this
conversation ethan and his employees reluctantly take down the sports decor to make way for the
renovations before that though the famous rescuer calls in his experts to help build the staff
members skills to an appropriate level following a lot of training tapper thought it would be best to
put their new abilities to the test by inviting in tons of customers while things were rocky at
first they managed to get the food and drinks out even making the accomplishment of satisfying
the customers finally the experts taught the staff how to make the new menu items that we're
going to implement and this meant that tapper was finally able to start making renovations
renaming the place to brandon manor it was meant to pay homage to one of the founding fathers of
sacramento town on the inside everything was modernized and made to look warmer while still
keeping touch with the bar's historic roots they received tons of new equipment including hubs
that allowed customers to charge their phones and got a lifetime subscription to tvt and partender
post bar rescue tours seem to love the new concept which has resulted in an increase in sales
eaton seems to have stayed positive throughout the changes made and kept the sport's memorabilia away
from the bar reviews are pretty mixed with the food being a hit or miss and people complain about
the loud music from time to time we're glad this rescue worked out well though lucky 66 bowl in
yet another season 7 episode jon taffer heads over to lucky 66 bold located in albuquerque new mexico

father who was a pro bowler mike's son jay runs the place as the general manager and his
granddaughter daphne manages the bar hoping to one day pass the bar over to his son so he can retire
mike isn't able to do so since things haven't been going so well due to the increasing pressure the
owner is often in a bad mood taking it out on the staff and customers alike which often pushes
them to leave being in a deep pool of debt of over 1 million dollars which is only increasing
mike calls out to taffer for some aid upon his arrival with expert mixologist alex good and
chef anthony lamas they immediately point out that the area isn't ideal for a drinking spot
oddly there's a separate entrance to the bar which you can only get to if you walk down a
long dark tunnel that looks shady and unsafe to say the very least they soon learned that the bar
chef joel leases out the food operations with his son running it as a separate business their food
isn't exactly the greatest since it often receives complaints about being too greasy which can affect
their bowling experience additionally miles junior and senior managed the bowling lanes with miles
senior having been fired nine times and rehired another 10. all things considered there are two
families working together in this business which means they're all at risk of losing their jobs if
the place drops down under sending in some local singles to test the bar's service quality they
order three lemon drops but quickly learn that the bar doesn't have lemons to put into their drinks
on top of this the bar was left unattended for a while with alcohol just lying around which is just
asking to be stolen when the spies finally receive their drinks they taste horrifyingly bad but they
decide to try something else anyway first asking for some water mike starts becoming intrusive and
rude stopping them from ordering any more drinks pissed off with the owner's way of acting taffer
heads into the bar and confronts mike about his attitude reconsidering if he wants to save the
bar due to the owner's inability to admit he's the problem taffer walks out and returns the
next day following a conversation with the staff tapa reveals to mike how they feel about him which
gives him a change of heart while mixologist good teaches the bartenders how to make basic
drinks chef lamas shows the kitchen how to make non-greasy snacks that would be better for bowlers
initiating a stress test tapper quickly realizes that the staff can't keep up with the demand and
shuts things down after even more training and getting the families to agree to work
together the bar rescue host was finally able to start making some changes first he renamed
the business the grade 66 entertainment center gave the exterior a new sign made the interior
look more modern decorating it with bowling pins and balls alongside a ton of new equipment
a while after taffer and his team left the bar sales increased and the staff seemed to have a
much more positive attitude however knowing mike's tough personality he decided to change the name
back to lucky 66 bowl and sold the building in august of 2019. linda lose time for two hoping
to rescue linda lou's time for two from closure Jon Taffer heads over to leyton utah to meet with
the owner brandon purser dreaming about running a bar of his own since he was 13 percent decided to
purchase a popular dive bar in 2013. financed by his mother winona george she was confident
that it would be a steady means of income while things were briefly good when purser first took
over the bar due to his lack of experience the bar has only been declining as a result
the owner fell into a deep depression which made it very hard for him to show up to work currently
speaking they are 300 000 dollars in debt and are losing close to 8 000 on a weekly basis
in desperate need of some help person calls out to taffer and the bar rescue team for some guidance
when he finally arrives he first points out that the business's branding is bad for a bar since
it gives him the impression that it's a close tea parlor calling in hockey players ryan reeves and
nate schmidt they go undercover to test out the bar's service ordering two cocktails their taco
berry lime was way too sweet and their kiss me cocktail doesn't even have any whipped cream next
they order some chicken wings that are prepared in a fryer by a staff member named trina who doesn't
even wear any gloves which is a health cold violation but that aside they end up eating the
wings without knowing this and find that they're way too greasy fed up with what they're seeing
taffer stomps into the bar and meets with personer who had just been hiding in his office the entire
time after a discussion with the staff they seem to be unaware that the barb is only four days
away from closing returning the following day the staff revealed that the biggest problem is purser
since they don't know what he's doing behind the scenes they also highlight that they're frequently
out of basic supplies which leads to a lot of pain customers deciding to leave and frustration
the whole interaction made priscilla so emotional that he had to leave to go cry in private and the
staff began to cry as well since they know how much he has on his plate following a poor stress
test taffer learns the communication amongst the staff isn't that great and that the bar is way too
small later on tapper meets with expert mixologist phil wills to devise a plan that would help draw
in customers to the bar next they decide it would be best to train the staff on how to make more

leads right into the bar which was made to look more modern fast forward to after taffer and his
