psychoticstate October 26, 2015 Share October 26, 2015 I much prefer the older format of this show, where the stress test took place 15 min or so in rather than 30-40 min of dealing with the dysfunctions of the personal relationships. Now we barely see any of the improvements; they seem to be shoved into the last 5 minutes of the show. Quickly losing interest in this. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4724-bar-rescue-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-1642327

NikSac November 16, 2015 Share November 16, 2015 Didn't see a post on this episode yet so thought I'd put one out there. The featured chef is semi-local to me. In fact I went to the CA State Fair specifically to see one of his demos since he was the official chef (and unfortunately I picked the only demo he missed over the whole run of the fair, sigh). But I'm determined to make it to his food truck soon. I thought the new food looked very tasty, and I was impressed with the chef-in-training - though Roach is probably not the best nickname for a chef. As for the bar itself, I probably wouldn't even walk into a place called "The Hooch" but I might try it out under the new name. I don't mind a dive bar, but that was extreme. Once I heard the owners/staff/bartenders screaming at each other I'd immediately walk out. I was disappointed to see the owner went back to that mentality. I was happy to see my semi-local chef do such a good job. Hubby even enjoyed the pictures of the hot rods throughout the episode. I'm probably biased but I thought it was one of the better Bar Rescues recently. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4724-bar-rescue-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-1715526

hkit November 23, 2015 Share November 23, 2015 Wow, I've been waiting for this episode to air since it was filmed over labor day. Wondered how much "reality" made it into this show. The answer: not much. Here's what I can tell you about this bar. I am not a regular. I have gone a few times before and a couple of times after the show. The bar filled a niche in town: a sports bar that was not solely focused on Michigan or Detroit sports. This is not really a student bar - none of the bars around it are. So I don't put a lot of stock in the recon grad students talking about how they've never been there during their time in AA. There was a rumor around town before this was filmed that Bar Rescue was soliciting bars to specifically create a U of M theme. Unsure if this is true or not, but I never saw it empty. I never recall it looking as dumpy as it did for the "before" of this show. I never have had any interactions with any of the staff shown on the episode. I've been told that the owner is actually a real sweetheart, but I've also heard he's a bit rough around the edges, so who really knows? Given how much the truth was stretched in this episode, I'm not prepared to believe this guy actually was aggressive to his customers like seen on the show. The Arena was a good place to go, because there is a community in Ann Arbor that has no affiliation with U of M. I moved here in my late 30s, and have struggled to find a place where I can watch Chicago based sports. Everything in Ann Arbor from my dry cleaner to my muffler repair guy has a storefront that looks like a Wolverine threw up on it. Sadly we can now add The Arena to the list. Luckily, they didn't keep most of the changes, and it is back to being a fairly neutral bar. So maybe I can watch the Blackhawks here. I only ate there for the first time last week. I doubt they kept any of the food changes. The menus were old, and nothing really innovative jumped out. I don't recall seeing that meatball dish on the menu. I had a grilled chicken salad. My husband had chicken fingers and fries. It was typical for what you'd expect from those 2 dishes when you ordered at a bar. It was fine, and our lunch and couple of rounds of beer came out to $35 or so. I have not tried any signature cocktails. I think Jon was way off the mark with a cocktail program for this bar. This is a beer town. Michigan is a mecca for craft brews, and Ann Arbor really has embraced that. I know that Taffer always focuses on cocktails because of the sponsorship and the margins, but they aren't always one size fits all. When I think "sports bar", I think "beer". If I think "craft cocktails", there are a few other options in downtown Ann Arbor that I would go to before I ever considered a "sports bar". 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4724-bar-rescue-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-1740060

psychoticstate December 15, 2015 Share December 15, 2015 In a Bar Rescue first, Jon Taffer helps a failing Detroit strip club in the hopes of stimulating profits before the entire business goes bottoms up. Was I the only idiot that watched this epi? As I've said before, I really, REALLY dislike the new format of the show. I much preferred spending 10, maybe 15 minutes on what a disaster the location is and more time on how it was being fixed. Now we're subjected to 30-40 minutes of fuck ups. This place was actually called Chicks on Dix. Supposedly because the strip club is located on Dix Street. Uh huh, okay. Beyond that, those "dancers" were the sorriest bunch I have ever seen. They looked like addicts, every one. Hardly a place where they are going to earn $400-500 per night, so says Renae Larson (or whatever the consultant's name is.) And I would certainly hope they have more than 3 dancers. If not, that could explain why they are failing. The update at the end only served to infuriate me. Sure, go ahead and hire back the guy who secured the "talent" - - those robotic, drugged out and drunk "dancers." (And who also stormed off on his Huffy bike early in the epi, when anyone dared criticize him, and knocked over a stack of bar glasses on his way out.) If that's not enough, hire back "Sweetie", the "dancer" who cried on the pole, who was so drunk she could barely walk and whose eyes were frighteningly red rimmed (and likely not from crying.) Did the GM learn nothing?? Or was the whole thing complete b.s.? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4724-bar-rescue-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-1805824

Madding crowd December 17, 2015 Share December 17, 2015 Why in the world would Taffer even want to be involved in a sleazy disgusting place like Chix on Dix. I'm a woman and have never been in a strip club, but if all the women look like that, I can't see many guys wanting to visit. The women were untoned and flabby and drunk and I don't think having light up poles is going to make a difference. Another reason why I was surprised Taffer went to the bar: a lot of people go to bars, so even bars in odd areas could attract new business. The guys who frequent strip clubs are a whole different ilk, and I can't imagine there is a huge market for them, if you have a few decent ones, the bachelor party guys will find it. Like always, I wonder how these people pay their bills, there were three manager types and numerous bartenders and dancers and no business.

Gregg247 December 26, 2015 Share December 26, 2015 That was one sad strip club. That one dancer who was crying while "dancing" (!) looked like a zombie when she was drunk; the other 2 dancers weren't much better. I blame Jon Taffer's "expert" LisaMarie for the failed stress test, though. The only thing working at that bar was serving the drinks; the bartenders were energetic and pouring drinks fast, efficiently, and correctly. Of course, the first thing Lisa Marie did was completely change the way the bar was run (no more auto-pour) just prior to the stress test in order to make them look bad. Another problem wit the stress test: making the manager run the kitchen, the girls, AND the bar, when he normally only worked the floor (the "agent" was gone, and I don't think they served much food prior to the stress test). This bar was run badly, but not as badly as the show made it look, I think. Who wants to go to a strip club that has 3 girls? Surely, the rest of their "crew" were around, but not used for actual filming purposes. At the end, did the manager actually say that business was DOWN, despite the fact that they were using Taffer's recipe for success?!?!

nobodyyoucare January 5, 2016 Share January 5, 2016 (edited) Ah the whole point is to stress them. Guess what a packed place the GM who was the cook would be unable to serve food or the area unless he took certain corrective measures. Guess what he knew the place was going to be packed yet didn't fix the printer, temp hire a waitress, or temp hire a cook. The auto pour slowed down things to a crawl, it also removed interaction. Busy bar that would cause most to leave after one drink. Also a lot of low income area strip clubs the dancers look like that. Only in upper income or tourist area strip clubs do the dancers look a lot better because they can recruit college coeds that need money for school. Remember Sapphire in Las Vegas did 30 million in sales each year. Hardly a place where they are going to earn $400-500 per night, so says Renae Larson They don't earn that from the pole but from the lap and or table dances. A lap or table dance minus tip for the dancer can run anywhere from 50-150 or more per 15 minute dance. That is at a 29,000 area income strip club. Higher income can be a lot more especially when drinks are added or special addons. Tips and the dancer cut from the lap and or table dances can equal 300-500 a night on average. Some dancers if they make a guy be very happy down there due to the activity (no blue balls if a dancer knows what to do) can earn a very large tip.

They featured this bar in a recent "back to the bar" special last night. Yes, she broke the what I suspect was a non-binding contract by exploiting a loophole and Taffer was reacting like "Oh, you scamp!", which seemed weird and insincere.

Because I have to admit, it's been one of my favorite episodes. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4724-bar-rescue-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-2278876
Sir RaiderDuck OMS May 31, 2016 Share May 31, 2016 Two possible reasons for Chuck's return: 1) He's "mobbed up" (this IS Detroit) and the owner literally cannot fire him without getting his legs broken. 2) He's supplying the drugs for the dancers. Two possible reasons for Sweet's return: 1) She's blowing the manager. 2) She's blowing the owner. 1 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4724-bar-rescue-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-2293450

Tabbygirl521 June 9, 2016 Share June 9, 2016 (edited) My hub and I were in lovely Everett, WA recently and a bit out of sorts but peckish and in need of alcohol after attending a funeral. We needed sustenance of all kinds. We thought we would pop into Forbidden to check out a genuine rescued bar. The menu on the window sounded tasty - and in we went. UGH. The place is kind of dark and creepy, which I don't necessarily mind in a bar. But it SMELLED. You would like to get a whiff of good food after being lured in by an intriguing menu. But this was more like, what died and got ground into the carpet? We are not the most exacting of patrons, but we turned around and walked out. i have to admit I didn't see the relevant episode, but was there talk of replacing carpet and making the place smell less like a morgue?
