What makes Bar Rescue so interesting to watch?
Bar Rescue is an American television series that first started airing in 2011.
What sets this television show apart from other business rescue-type television shows is the fact that Jon Taffer, who was one of the first six inductees in the Nightclub Hall of Fame, stars in the show and uses his trademark straight-shooting remarks and years of experience in the food and beverage industry and with managing bars, pubs, and nightclubs, to help struggling bar owners turn their businesses around.
Although the show may seem all business and no fun on paper, the show features some of the best dramatic moments that reality television has to offer in its eight seasons to date.
Best drink recipes from Bar Rescue
The premise that the show Bar Rescue is built on is that Jon and his team of industry experts observe and evaluate how failing bars across the United States operate and then revamp them in all aspects.
This includes the layout and design of the space, the business of the bar, the marketing plan, and of course, the drink recipes.
Over the course of its over 200 episodes, Jon and his team have helped 101 bars to keep their doors open over the years since the show’s launch.
Although the show’s success rate of rescuing bars is not 100 percent, over the course of the years, some of the drink recipes developed, especially to save bars on the show, have stood out from the rest.
