Wonderful character development!

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I'm going to start by saying that the best bar I have ever been in is 10 times worse than the worst bar Taffer ever "fixed" but that's not relevant.A more realistic name for this show would be "Throw A Bunch Of Money At An Idiot And See If He Blows It All Again".Because that's really what it is, Taffer never does anything to help them.Every bar owner gets in a fight with Taffer and he threatens to not "rescue" them but he always does.Taffer even pretends to have celebrity friends who can go into bars and spy without anyone knowing who they are.He said Doug Stanhope is a good friend of his and I can't believe that.Stanhope is a complete mess.He's an alcoholic junkie who is in love with a freak named Bingo.Taffer would never associate with him.If you like fake reality shows about idiots, you will love this.If you don't like to have your intelligence insulted, you will hate this.

This is a very interesting look at the competitive bar and restaurant business. Host Taffer pulls no punches with his incredibly blunt assessments which can make viewers cringe at times, but creates a lot of interesting reactions from the owners, managers and employees being berated. He never fails to blurt out, "this is the worst I've ever seen" about something in the business he's trying to turn around.Although a lot of the show is scripted and contrived, it still pulls you in and keeps you watching. You may have a hard time eating out after seeing the deplorable condition of some of the kitchens. The only suggestion I would make is that they provide more detailed numbers as far as revenues and profits in all of the episodes. There is some of this, but it didn't occur in all the episodes I observed.

Love seeing how they expose why certain bars fail while others succeed.Everything John says is pretty much spot on. I watched a marathon of it today and couldn't stop watching due to the fact that it just sucked me into it. I wanted to know what new disaster would happen and who was gonna step up to fix it.If you love shows where you see the bad side of restaurants and bars, then this is the show for you. This show will change your opinion on what good bar service should be. I love that they bring in world class chefs and mixologist to actually bring everything up to par at the bars.One of the biggest and most shocking aspects to me was just showing how filthy a lot of these places were.I can't wait for season two and dealing with the Pirate bar and Tiki bar. Both appear to be train wrecks awaiting to happen.

My wife and I love Bar Rescue! John Taffer is really intriguing to watch work, and his interactions with the bar managers and staff range from cringe-worthy to hilarious to touching. It's really cool to get some behind-the-scenes looks at why certain things in successful bars work too (such as menu placement, seating, and drink specials).The show does seem a tad contrived at times, but doesn't every reality TV show?Bottom line: Bar Rescue is awesome, check it out! I can think of several local bars near me that are in desperate need of a "rescue" by John and his team.
