hello everyone hope you're having the most awesome day today welcome to the Film Insight channel
for today's video we're going to discuss some more of the worst bars to be 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 swanky bubbles for a season one episode john tapper heads over to
swanky bubbles in philadelphia pennsylvania to rescue it from closure owned by john frankowski
he was met with great success in the beginning making a whopping 100 thousand dollars a month
though as time went on the champagne bars gimmick got old and their sales sadly began to decline
since frankowski is barely at the bar he leaves most of the important decisions to his co-owner
ryan while it may sound like a good thing ryan values the customer's happiness but so much so
that it hurts the server's wallets on top of the bar's profits considering the fact that they were
losing four thousand dollars a month and digging themselves into a deep pit of debt the owners
called out to tapper for some aid after arriving with his wife nicole he sends her in alongside her
friend valerie to get an idea of the customer experience upon entering the pair scan the
humongous menu one are quickly introduced to ryan who insists on giving them free drinks getting a
drink called sexual chocolate martini the co-owner weirdly implies that this was him as a drink
creeped out by ryan's remarks the spies head back to Taffer and report the things that they've seen
uphold with what he was just told the famous rescuer rushes inside to confront ryan about
his actions leaving and returning the following day tapper holds a staff meeting and notices that
the bar is filthy and disorganized asking the staff what they think is wrong with the business
most point to ryan but others expressed that they constantly run out of liquor and are forced to buy
bottles themselves to have something to work with unimpressed with how far swanky bubbles has fallen
Taffer invites in chef brian hill and mixologist elaine duke to train the staff both experts tour
the area and try to assess what needs to be worked on generally speaking they believe that the place
needs some deep cleaning and that the menus need to be shortened training the staff soon after
on the basics of mixing and cooking Taffer was ready to launch a stress test all in all while
the staff was overwhelmed with the traffic they did pretty well but ryan failed to take control
of his business fast forward to near the end of the episode after tapper got the bar cleaned and
the staff to set things up it was finally time to move into the renovations renaming the place
this year the bar rescue host gave the business a complete makeover that was not only classy but
sophisticated and revamped the menu when they finally relaunched the patrons weren't too happy
at first but the staff eventually made it work post bar rescue the owners decided to rename the
place back to swanky bubbles almost immediately after Taffer left asked about the bar sales months
later the owner didn't want to make a comment which is pretty odd if it isn't obvious the bar
ended up closing down in november of 2011 since they had issues with the landlord and failed to
secure a liquor license kill kenny's irish pub in another season one episode Jon Taffer heads over
to kill kenny's irish pub to bring it back on its speeds owned by ali speed she opened the pub with
the financial help of her sister alexis who poured all of her inheritance into the business initially
the pub was a huge hit but this quickly went downhill when ellie's ex-boyfriend carlos became
the manager not only did the business plunge into 900 thousand dollars of debt but it's on the verge
of closing down which is why the owner called out the tapper for some help upon his eventual
rival with his wife yet again he immediately sends her in to get a customer's perspective
once she finally enters she notices that there isn't anything irish about the bar and that ali is
hanging out like a customer would after ordering a margarita that was served in the only margarita
glass they had available nicole heads back to her husband to report how trashy the place was
having heard enough Taffer heads into the bar to see how bad things really are and later confronts
ali he points out that she shouldn't be drinking on the job and forces her to shut down the bar
so he can start the rescue gathering the staff together soon after Taffer discusses what he plans
to do with the pub and ali seems ticked off since they closed down early on a saturday leaving and
returning the following day the bar rescue host meets with the owner and her sister to point out
how filthy everything is and compares the place to a dive bar embarrassed with what they had just
seen the two agree to listen to whatever taffer has for advice to turn things around the famous
rescuer first starts by inviting in his experts more specifically chef josh capone and mixologist
michael tipps looking around both experts are appalled to see how disorganized the place is
and extremely unsanitary before moving into the training phase taphr decides to meet with ali's ex
manager carlos who doesn't leave the best first impression not only does he seem preoccupied with
his phone but when Taffer tells him to put the thing down he really says hold on a minute through
some heated discussion with this pathetic man the famous wrestler essentially tells him to grow up
and do his job later on tapper gets his experts to train the staff on how to make some new dishes
and make some simple cocktails unfortunately kilkenny didn't have the necessary ingredients
and supplies to make the new drinks which prompted tips to dub the place as a train wreck at the very
least tapper hoped to get the bars finances in order before he moves into the renovations so
he helped them with that nearing the end of the episode the famous rescuer renamed the place to
break wall bar and grill and remodeled both the interior and exterior to give it a beach theme
aside from receiving tons of beautiful decor tTffer deep cleaned the building and hooked
them up with new glassware and a pos system being as childish as can be carlos was furious about
the changes made and threatened to undo all of taffer's work confronting the owner and her sister
about this incident soon after they thankfully decide to fire carlos which is well deserved
months after the taping of this episode the bar's drink sales shot up and ali became the
head manager to replace her ex ultimately though the bar closed down in january of 2012 since they
decided to surrender their liquor license in an interview with the local press the owner expressed
that it was impossible to stay open due to their insanely high debts win place or show as our final
entry we're going to discuss a bar that jon tapper attempted to rescue called win placer show owned
by a navy veteran named barry rogers he purchased the biker bar back in 2010 with 50 000 of his
life savings sadly though since the previous owners left the bar with a tarnished reputation
not many customers came in unsure of how to move forward the owner decided to ask for the help of
his friend rudy garcia who became the business's co-owner additionally roger's wife tracy became
a bartender but due to her lack of experience she hasn't done too much else other than hurt the bar
since the business was 100 thousand dollars in debts and months away from closing down the owners
called out the taffer for some guidance when he finally arrives with expert bartender jason bran
and chef aaron mccargo they point out that the bar is in a good location but has a misleading sign
rather than look like a sports bar as intended taffer expressed that it resembled a horse
betting place hoping to get a better idea of the customer experience the barreski host sends
in a spy for recon ordering a long island iced tea from the menu the spie is unimpressed with
how much alcohol was added to his drink hungry he also ordered a platter of food that was cooked in
the microwave which looked absolutely disgusting while the spy was left unsatisfied garcia sat at
the bar doing jack all and rogers isolated himself in his office having seen more than enough taffer
heads into the bar and confronts garcia about his lack of respect for the business inspecting
a round tapering his experts find old limes dirty soda guns grease in the fryer and spoiled chicken
thawing on the counter disgusted the famous rescuer leaves and returns the following day to
have an important meeting with the staff tafer exposes the fact that they lost well over 600
worth of alcohol the prior saturday after taking a look at the report coming clean about his theft
garcia admits that he's given away a lot of beer to customers and that the staff aren't to blame
after training the staff on the menu items that would be implemented tapper was finally
ready to launch a stress test predictably the service wasn't exactly the smoothest since the
bartenders forgot how to make certain drinks and made a lot of mistakes soon after the awful
service concluded the bar rescue host made sure to call out tracy for being a horrible bartender
the following day Taffer returns with his experts and notices that everyone is present but tracy who
seems to have quit having a chat with the owners the famous rescuer points out that rogers needs
a real partner who wants to grow his business since garcia barely cares deciding on giving
the position to a bartender named amber who was clearly passionate about the establishment Taffer
then brought in his experts to train the staff before he got into the renovations fast forward to
near the end of the episode after Taffer renamed the place to america live and gave it a wonderful
makeover the bar's future was looking bright weeks after the taping of this episode the owners
reported that the sales went up by 25 which is fantastic however they were forced to close down
in july of 2012 since the landlord locked them out of the building for not being able to pay a rent
