hello everyone hope you're having the greatest of days 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 weber's place 2007
was the year barbershop entrepreneur kevin sinton decided to sink his earnings into purchasing the
40 year old weber's place in la turning the place into a prime entertainment venue hiring bands to
draw in crowds it was very successful in the beginning however as similar businesses popped
up in the area webbers was completely crushed and this is when their profits really began to bleed
on top of all this the employees openly steal money and alcohol from the bars since sentine
doesn't have any backbone whatsoever quickly diving into a deep pool of debt the bar's owner
knew that he needed help and fast so he called out to Jon Taffer for his expertise bringing two
experts alongside him he sends in one name keith jones to get a customer's perspective on things
it should go without saying but his experience was horrible especially since the staff delayed things
by watching the live performances and served drinks and food that tasted awful having seen more
than enough Taffer walks into the bar and meets with the owner who reveals that he hasn't fired
any of the employees who had stolen from him in the meantime chef jones investigates the kitchen
which is filthy has tons of malfunctioning equipment and improperly stored food
later on in the episode taffer confronts sentine about the fact that most of the lost and profits
come from liquor overpouring finally opening his eyes on how incompetent his staff is the owner
fires an employee named mario who is on duty the night the bar lost 700 effectively showing
everyone that he's no longer playing around expert mixologist tips trained the remaining staff on how
to properly pour to avoid wasting money to ensure that liquor was no longer stolen tafferer installed
the liquor vault and gave the keys to sinton only once all of the issues present were resolved the
bar rescue host was finally able to move into the renovation stage changing the bar's name to
weber's rom bar and grill giving the interior a brighter color scheme with appealing decor
and installing cctv cameras to reduce theft even further things were looking great for the bar upon
the business's relaunch people flooded in with a positive outlook on the changes made praising
both the drinks and food though two months after taffer and his team left the owner seemingly
rehired mario for reasons that are unknown sinton changed the name to weber's sports bar and grill
and the reviews only plummeted from there with a whole slew of complaints on every front webers
ended up closing down in july of 2013 for good if only it stuck to taffer's plan the canyon inn
minor league baseball star polly ambrose decided to buy the canyon inn in 2004 located in north
belinda california working at the bar for close to a decade the business was near and dear to his
heart which is why it was so successful for the first five years making thirty thousand dollars
a week however as more bars began to open in the area ambrose refused to take any advice or update
the bar consequently the business is losing close to a hundred thousand dollars a year which called
for the help of someone qualified like jon taffer arriving at the bar with his wife nicole taffer
sends her in as recon to investigate the general experience her first impression is definitely
not the greatest since she notices most of the customers are much older than her ordering some
beer at the bar rather than pour from the tap the bartender gives nicole a pre-poured stella r toys
what's more the cup she'd received was marked with lipstick and was so cheap that it broke on her
appalled by what he was seeing taffer storms into the bar and meets with the owner who's
by the pool tables supposedly profits have been down in the past two to three years by 30 percent
often forcing ambrose to not pay himself bringing in his experts as backup including michael
tips the mixologist and eric greenspan who is a talented chef they attempt to fix the many issues
with the bar first greenspan brands the canyon soup as cancer due to the fact that the kitchen
uses an absurd amount of salt additionally none of the food served is fresh meaning everything
is store bought and frozen giving it a planned and disgusting taste tips heads into the bar only to
find capless liquor bottles which he reveals is the best way to attract flies the general
bar area and ceiling fan was caked in dust which leads to an argument between tafer and ambrose to
ensure that the staff does their job properly tip shows the amateur at best team how to mix drinks
later on in the episode tapper discusses how the bar would benefit from a name change and how he
wants to tear down the sign outside while ambrose was certainly troubled by this news he seems to
have a change of heart after hearing taffer's new menu finally renaming it to the canyon saloon the
bar rescue team gave the interior an aesthetic overhaul which felt more open and relaxing tapper
also decided to install a brand new music system with 1500 songs which would boost the bar's sales
boy was he right since the soft reopen of the bar brought in a hundred thousand dollars in
sales in just one night even though the canyon might still be open to this day it has a pretty
poor two and a half stars on yelp most seem to praise the good prices though many seem to
complain about the hygiene standards and food service quality regardless the place seems to
be a very popular dive bar in the area though it seems to attract a lot of drunks so i guess this
was a successful rescue champ sports pub the first sports bar to open in burbank california
was one in 1983 called champs sports pub which is owned by a former teacher named joe having always
been a sports fan since he was young his passion attracted droves of people to the bar so much so
that he was making around 60 thousand dollars a month in profit which is absolutely amazing
though with time as he began to distance himself from the business and let others like helen run
things chance really started to go downhill now only being six months away from closure both joe
and helen reach out to john tafford for some eight upon his arrival taffer points out that the bar
has the sort of fire that you should keep walking rather than stop to grab a cold one sending in his
expert chef brian hill for recon he's immediately met with the sound of customers complaining about
how their beer lacks any foam ordering a drink which tasted awful and some nachos that are
flooded with sour cheese hale was completely unimpressed after this horrible display taffer
storms into the bar and meets with joe and helen in their office to discuss the bar's finances
while they once were making 60 000 a month they can barely make 40 000 which is demoralizing
calling in another expert named tobin ellis who is a world-class mixologist for some assistance
he and he'll attempt to raise the staff skill level before any of that ellis notices that
the bar has a ton of sanitation issues like how all the equipment feels sticky and stinks
hill sees a ton of grease all over the equipment some even managing to get on the serving paper
which can lead to salmonella poisoning following what is a lot of cleaning the experts were finally
able to teach the staff how to make the items on their menu ready to take things to the next level
taffer revamps the bar's decor to be brightly colored and feel more welcoming still open to
this day it has an average three star review on yelp many praising the atmosphere while others
complaining about the food and wait times swanky bubbles for our last quick little entry we're
going to discuss a bar john tapper tried to save called swanky bubbles owned by john frankowski and
ryan dorsey when the bar rescue host arrives at the failing business he sends in his wife nicole
to get the full customer experience the menu is way too long and filled with a wide range of
cultural dishes which makes things very hard for the cooks co-owner dorsey approaches some female
customers making them very uncomfortable with sexual innuendos disturbed by this taffer bolts
into the board and talks with dorsey first who blames the bar's failures on frankowski
though tafford truly believes the biggest liability to the business is dorsey who fails to
admit his own shortcomings after a staff meeting it becomes clear that frankowski was gonna have
to do something about his business partner if he wanted the bar to succeed rather than completely
boot him from the business he decided to set the co-owner straight and let him know that he needs
to get his act together after this conversation ended taffer calls in his experts to try and
improve the staff's piss-poor skills following a ton of training and cleaning the bar rescue host
decided to rename the business to sheer on the inside he added stools in front of the bar to make
him seem more spacious than before and put premium liquor on the shelves upon cheers relaunch the
customers seemed to be ecstatic with the changes made and vowed to return however after only a few
months the bar reversed a ton of taffer's changes and it's been closed since november of 2011.
