hello everyone hope you're having the most amazing day today welcome to the
Film Insight channel for today's video we're going to discuss even more bars featured on
Bar Rescue and reveal how they're doing now so sit back relax and without further ado
let's get right into the content guys armadillo grill in one season 7 episode Jon Taffer and the
Bar Rescue team head over to phoenix arizona to bring the armadillo grill back on its feet
owned by brenda lambrecht she decided to open up the bar back in 1997 using her experience in
the restaurant industry to influence her decision working first as a hostess she fell in love with
the business and always wanted to open one of her own however it didn't exactly go as planned
having borrowed money from her father to fulfill her dream she struggle with the transition of
being a staff member to an owner even her employees recognize this struggle expressing
that she lacks the necessary management and leadership skills to run an establishment
losing a staggering 20 000 us dollars a month lambrecht's in a deep pool of debt of over 450
thousand dollars and it's only growing later on in the episode Taffer gathers together
with lambrech's relatives and has revealed some really shocking information according
to ex-husband greg she didn't make any money for the first 10 years that they were together
this was one of the biggest reasons why they got divorced and he predicts her father put in
close to five hundred thousand dollars to keep the bar open another relative name asia points
out the fact that when she opened the restaurant she didn't know how to create a concept menu and
gave away her profits to fund her mother's rent wanting to get a customer's perspective of the
bar Taffer sends in two of his finest assistants for recon chef ryan scott and mixologist mia
mastroyani upon entering the bar their noses are immediately assaulted with the smell of grease
and the drinks they order are absolutely terrible watching through cctv cameras taffer expresses
that their glassware is way too big which forces them to use more alcohol to get the correct mix
which is one of the reasons why they're losing so much money on top of horrible drinks the spies
ordered onion rings fried mozzarella and sweet potatoes hoping to at least satisfy their hunger
as the bars cook victor starts cooking their order tafer notices that the kitchen's walls
are filthy and caked in grease to make matters worse victor has little care about contaminating
the food handling the chicken with gloves then touching the fryer and other surfaces appalled by
what he was seeing taffer heads into the bar and tells lambrecht that he wants the kitchen cleaned
calling the staff together for a meeting one employee named diane reveals that when the food is
sent back the owner doesn't even go back into the kitchen to fix it taffer gets progressively angry
throughout the interaction especially considering that they had a grease fire about a week ago
before he arrived and they still had grease on their walls after a terrible stress test taffer's
experts attempt to teach the staff how to properly pour and mix drinks as well as how to make easy
but delicious dishes first renovating the kitchen taffer also changed the name to brenda's inferno
giving the bar an infernal theme additionally they received new tables a pool table a fire
machine four pos systems and improved uniforms when they finally relaunched the customers were
absolutely in love with the foods and drinks and the family was impressed with the changes made
only three days after the relaunch brenda's inferno was forced to close down temporarily
due to state restrictions however several weeks after taffer left brenda finally began to repay
her father for the immense amount of money he invested thanks to the bar's success it seems like
the reviews are incredibly positive especially when it comes to food drinks and service
what a great rescue pineapple hail saloon and grill for another season 7 episode john taffer and
his team visit pineapple hill saloon and grill in tustin california hoping to save it from closure
being a multi-generational bar it was purchased by a woman named reverend for 580 thousand dollars
while business was booming in the beginning renz was forced to step back for health reasons which
was the moment things started to go downhill the bar's manager linda hasn't been able to keep up
with the demands of running a business and as a result the quality has gone down significantly
swimming in a pool of debt of over hundred thousand dollars this desperately called for
the guidance of a professional answering this call taffy arrives at the bar with mixologist
mia masriani and chef jason santos not impressed with what he was seeing on the exterior taffer
doesn't seem to like the humongous pineapple on the bar sign on the inside there's way too much
wood terribly worn out furniture held together with duct tape and odd looking pineapple decor
watching as usual through cctv cameras tapper notices that the bar's chef mike doesn't use
gloves and carelessly cross-contaminates the kitchen on top of this the bartenders are
incompetent and don't mix drinks properly which makes things very inconsistent wanted to get a
look into the service quality the bar rescue host sends in two people for recon who order an irish
coffee and a pineapple margarita predictably so the irish coffee tasted like water and the
margarita was way too light on the tequila which left the spice feeling disappointed to say the
very least one of them ordered some ribs and when chef mike begins to prepare it he ignores
the fact that the meat had mold on it and cooks it anyway right before the ribs were served to the
spy chef santos steps in and stops him then finds more moldy ribs in the kitchen having seen more
than enough Taffer angrily rushes into the bar and raises his voice at mike who denies that he forgot
to wash his hands while cooking taking the gm and wren's outside chapper explains that their chef is
a massive liability since someone could die from the health codes he's violating promising to take
action after this tough conversation both decide on firing mike which was long overdue later on the
experts attempt to assess the staff members skill levels and conclude that there's a lot of stuff to
work on for one the bartenders all had their own way of doing things using different techniques or
glassware at times but the thing that they had in common was that all their drinks tasted bad
in the kitchen it was clear that they didn't know how to properly make things so chef santos taught
them the basics after a ton of training taffer was finally able to start working his magic beginning
with renaming the place to rent social health given four new pos systems the bar's overall decor
was improved and was made to look more stylish removing any of the duct tape upon the bars
relaunch the patients who were invited seemed to really enjoy the food and drinks being served and
rents finally seemed to be more confident as an owner following tapper's renovations it seems like
the gm linda has taken control of the books as well as the bar this is only due to the fact that
renz is a full-time mom and linda alongside the staff wanted to support her even though the bar is
still very much open it's been heavily restricted from running due to the recent outbreaks
assuming you like this bar you can donate some money to keep them alive on their gofundme page
silver dollar this time around john tapper heads over to the failing silver dollar located in chula
vista california owned by mike degardin jr and mike degarden senior the bar has been around for
over 90 years always dreaming of running a bar of his own mike jr managed to get the funding
he needed from his father who was supposed to be a silent partner in the beginning anyway silver
dollar did exceptionally well but it quickly fell apart when the father and son team began to clash
due to the constant fighting it not only affected their relationship but also the staff the business
as well as mike jr's marriage desperately needing some help before things were completely destroyed
the owners call out to john taffer for some aid arriving at the bar with mixologist derek turner
they take a close look at the exterior and are completely unimpressed not only does the bar look
dated and is falling apart it also looks like a dive bar which isn't really inviting sending in
two expert mixologists as recon taffer asked them to test the bartenders on their cocktail making
skills ordering at tom collins the mixologists aren't satisfied with their drinks since they're
way too sweet on top of this mike senior seems to be conspicuously drinking and appears to
even be drunk which is when taffer and norma decided to step in meeting with the two owners
taffer's revealed that mike jr no longer lives in the same house as his wife which his father
didn't even know about it became clear after this revelation that the business pair didn't
have the most solid communication later meeting with the staff tappers told that the tensions are
extremely obvious to customers often making them uncomfortable and making them not want to return
before getting into any of the renovations taffer feels that it's absolutely necessary that
the father and son have a meaningful conversation squashing the drama between them by apologizing to
one another the famous rescuer was finally able to start doing his thing while the bar did maintain
its name for historic reasons taffer changed the wallpaper and gave the interior a cleaner look
following the bar rescue team's renovations silver dollars seems to be doing very well since they've
made as much money in one month as they did in one year reviews on yelp and trip advisors seem
to be very positive with most people praising the music bartenders as well as the drinks and food
