Apparently Bar Rescue is trying to push into San Francisco pretty hard but can't find a good bar to rescue. Producers are harassing a dive that is pretty popular and, while I don't know the books, I doubt they need rescuing. Same with most of the other bars they tried contacting. All are pretty well-patronized places. http://uptownalmanac.com/2014/05/shotwells-benders-and-lucky-13-all-need-remodeling-according-bar-rescue

Reminder that tonight is the "lost episode" of Bar Rescue, and that it airs at 8 EST/7 CST, so an hour earlier than usual.

Oh man, I've been hoping he'd come to the Bay Area for a while so I could go watch him scream at people in person one evening. He should come to San Jose, I'm sure there are some places downtown that could use some help. Or Redwood City... go a couple blocks south of the recently renovated downtown and the place goes to poo poo really quick. And that would be close enough that they could just pass it off as "San Francisco" on the show and nobody from outside the area would be the wiser.

It's the butt funnel to end all butt funnels. Wonder how many drinks will be knocked out of hands with people in seats/trying to pass through that mess.

It's funny how Taffer treats the Butt Funnel as some kind of genius creation, because it seems so astoundingly loving stupid to me. I want to meet the people that hooked up because there was such a narrow area for traffic in a bar that they had to grind up against each other and really enjoyed it. Also, "V Bar" is a terrible name with an even shittier logo. It looks like it's called bVr. raditts fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Jun 2, 2014 |

Ok now I wanna see those eHarmony commercials redone to feature he butt funnel, with Taffer replacing that old guy. Look at all these happy couples that are still going strong after ten years of marriage, thanks to Butt Funnel!

According to Bar Rescue Updates, Taffer was a bit less than truthful about why the bar actually closed: http://www.barrescueupdates.com/2014/06/bar-rescue-v-bar-south-park-bar-grill.html quote:On May 30th 2012, "Prosecutor Kenneth Strait Jr. brought up 12 charges against the bar, including buying alcohol from a prohibited source and illegal drug use on the premises. The drug use allegation, as reported by The Montclair Times, occurred in 2009 when police on an ABC (Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control) inspection found owner Jeffry Melnikoff smoking pot inside the bar. Other charges include incidents initially reported over two years ago, including five reported bar fights, several with underage patrons. With each charge, the bar could face a 30-day liquor license suspension." (Link)

I don't know how much I buy the idea of the installed butt funnel that leads to a dance floor, but I can buy the idea of a tight space, like between the bar and a communal table. Look at it this way, a butt funnel isn't going to stop anybody from dancing or drinking, and it if gets even one guy to buy one extra drink for a girl, it's a success.

One thing that would make me never want to go back to a bar is seeing the owner flip out on some jackass smoking. The way he grabbed the dude and violently threw him out was waaaaaaay over the line. That's like the step you take after politely asking him to take it outside, then telling him to get out if he tells you to gently caress off.

Taffer didn't lie though that the place closed because it didn't stick with what he gave'em

This was a far departure from today's shows. I really enjoyed the actual science tidbits and numbers, rather than the boring formulaic poo poo we have today. I especially enjoyed the square footage and cost breakdowns. raditts posted:I want to meet the people that hooked up because there was such a narrow area for traffic in a bar that they had to grind up against each other and really enjoyed it. Yes, nobody in history has ever met somebody at a crowded bar or club because they were in close proximity.

I really wish they would bring more of the science back.

Season One bar news: The Chicken Bone isn't doing so well: quote:Summertime has always been a very slow time of year for us here at The Chicken Bone. Many people are away on vacation and/or enjoying outdoor activities. This, combined with recent changes in the economy and rising cost of living expenses, means we all have less money to spend on eating out and entertainment. http://framingham.patch.com/groups/business-news/p/summer-blues-for-the-chicken-bone-owner-closed-bar-until-labor-day

Spike's doing some marathons tonight and next week as part of "Taffer's Top Ten." Today was "Most Disgusting" and "Worst Owners." Next week is "Angriest Moments" and "Toughest Rescues." I haven't really been paying attention, but I caught the top three worst owners: Paul from Gipsy was #3. Steve from Headhunters is #2. And Matt & Karen from O-Face are #1.

I just noticed that these were up on my DVR so I'm watching the Most Disgusting one now. I'm gonna be disappointed if Headhunters is somehow not #1 disgusting. edit: Fairways was pretty goddamned disgusting with the bubbling salsa and the walk-in mushrooms, but I'm still not sure it's as nasty as the Roach Kingdom of Headhunters. raditts fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Jun 23, 2014 |

I mean, that mushroom was one of the most baffling thing I've ever seen. The mushroom wasn't really visually repulsive, but holy gently caress, how do you not notice a giant loving mushroom in your walk in?

We must be watching the same rerun. Anybody else get the feeling that the staff was getting paid under the table, instead of just not paid at all? There's a couple of things that the owner says that would only make sense under that optic, but... The guy's not exactly making sense in other areas.
