4 Times Jon Taffer Walked Out (Compilation) | Bar Rescue

[@PrestonGarvey-]

What hurts the most about the first one was that everything was done. The construction was completed and everything and he still showed up drunk.

[@Markuden]

Well the tv show is the big winner here. If it was a "boring" ending they couldnt use it again and again clips. The owner probably will still get more traffic from the tv show BUT those employees who walked out... I think at the end of the day the could be the losers because they quit their job. Lets hope for them they have a new and beter employer now.

[@210pllo13]

Mark I don’t think the owner will really get that much traffic... if from the show, people will see how foolish he is. Not to mention the possibly time he’ll take to just get a full staff again.

@@hokus001 Sure much less then Ramsey but I can guarantee you that A LOT of people in the area will give them a second chance again or go for the first time. Its up to them to give a good impression. I think at first there might even come as many people as with Ramsey because word travels fast in small areas so it makes people curious. But with Ramsey people will almost put some restaurants on their bucket list to visit once inn their lives, I dont think thats the same with Taffer.

Taffer did a very smart thing not Rescuing that last bar. Turns out the owner that kept screaming he was military, and constantly nagged on Jon for "yelling at his wife" is now a registered sex offender that did it while his wife was out of town. 2/2016 - O Face owner Matthew Overmyer was arrested for suspected sexual abuse of someone that supposedly worked at the bar. His wife was supposedly out of town at the time of the assault. 10/2016 - Matthew Overmyer plead guilty to the sexual assault charges and was ordered to spend 90 days in jail. He also has two years of probation following his sentence and will undergo a sex offender treatment program. A no contact order with the victim has been issued for five years. Matthew Overmyer also will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life and pay any restitution to the victim, should she seek counseling. 3/2017 - Matthew Overmyer was ordered to pay $4,640 in restitution to the victim, which was a lowered figure. 4/2017 - Matthew Overmyer went back to jail for failing to register as a sex offender. Aaaand the Bar is now closed.

The utter distraught his employees demonstrated was incomprehensible. I feel bad for the employees who worked with him for months and dealt with an atrocity of an owner. #2: This owner was just about his ego.

One thing I learned from Taffer, it doesn't matter if you don't like those fruity drinks, or the people that those drinks draw in, you are running a business.

[@SouthJerseySam]

The other thing is to be aware of the surroundings. The "fruity" drinks are for more than one demographic. That's what Taffer knew. Regardless of race or gender, you will still want a good alcoholic drink. Just seemed like the owner in the 3rd clip was so narrow-minded and most likely homophobic that he couldn't see past his own faded vision on what makes a bar successful. And he'll lash out on those that will disparage him over the truth of the matter.

[@DekkarJr]

@@akimi2003 Oh they know waht they are doing, the thing that's happening is is called delusion tho. Basically, they lie to themselves and minimize it in their own mind and it deludes their perception of reality. Psychologically speaking, the statement "that's not me" or " I'm not that type of person" is just not true of EVERY human being. Carl Jung, the father of modern psychology called this idea the Shadow. That we must be capable of accepting that we are all capable of doing terrible things and being evil - we are all capable, even the the most innocent seeming or looking person can harbor the thoughts of anger and disgust and hate for too long and not let them go and that ruminates itself into rage and then you start wanting to do something about it, like hurt the person that wronged you. That's why especially in this online age where people are thrown out of society, cancelled by the masses all getting high on the Mob Mentality buzz it gives them to be apart of it, it's very important that at least some of us from this era carry on the concept of forgiveness. Forgiving others, forgiving yourself, forgiving humanity in general for being imperfect and capable of mistakes and of wrongs. If you can't get over your own internal drama machine, aka the ego, you'll be stuck there miserable and failing for your entire life. Those feelings that caused him to strike an employee and threaten to pay another 10 bucks more an hour to throw someone throw a window. Those feelings took him over. Men's aggression is a tool that was evolved for war over many many millennia of struggle and needing a powerful internal feeling that gave them sudden motivation and focus to pick up a weapon and fight and even sacrifice their lives for their people. In combat it is very useful as source of energy and vigor, but in a day and age where that aggression is not being expressed properly because we live in generally peaceful times and war is fought at great range with great disconnection between us and our enemy... that emotion starts to come up over other things, smaller things, things that in the scale of everything it doesn't really matter, and doesn't have a proper exit and it can fester and boil up you have to exorcise those feelings on occasion, I recommend martial arts or a boxing gym. Just buying a punch bag is of great help to me personally in my own struggle with my anger issues and I'm a girl! D: My anger must be from a bloodline where the enemy tribe got to the cave and the women were the only thing left between the children and the invaders. >:D that's what I'd like to think hahaha. Gave me a little edge that comes out that I had to learn to check and monitor or else. Professional fighters generally are some of the most calm people you will ever meet actually, not unlike military members they are "cool under pressure" - they aren't panicking or worried or freaking out or getting angry, they are taught instead to let go of those emotions in that moment and think but also rely on the muscle memory of their training to pull the actual trigger. Be cerebral. Tactical and Strategic. If you've ever been in a fight then you know what I'm talk about, that primal feeling we still have access to. But those people they experienced that adrenaline of combat and of the training for it so many many times and came out of it with clearer eyes really because it dulled that reality to slow itself down, to slow the adrenaline down through constant exposure. They see the things people fight about in society and can see that it isn't worth it due to perspective. I try to use that as a template to control myself, put myself in some kickboxxing and jiu jitsu classes, years later I have many belts and trophys but the most important thing I learned from it was simply being totally calm when something crazy was going on. You never know these days when it could help. :3 Anyways. yaeh.

[@3ShotTGK]

And funny thing is, that same bar was shut down by the town itself. And the owner had a sex assault charge added too

[@AreEia]

@@DekkarJr This is a reason why I think some type of martial art and meditation should be mandatory in public schools. Both boys and girls need to learn how to control their emotions and their shadow self. It would be great for those that have a hard time controlling their feelings(anger, jealousy, etc) and would probably help those that repsress them(timid people) be more confident in problematic situations and confrontation. It would level the playing field when it comes to physical altercations, but most importantly shape the general public into people that take more pride in controlling themselves than striking out. Seeing some of the people/kids that grow up now without any from of self control is a public blight, and something both society, parents and schools should be ashamed of.

Oh they knew before they showed up. Don't get me wrong, based on everything reported on that bar before and after they were every bit the scum bags they were portrayed as so no sympathy. But that episode was filmed not long after Gordon Ramsey walked out on his show. They wanted an episode where John would walk out and went to a bar they knew would give them an excuse, and then strung them along until they had enough footage before pulling out that video they had clearly been sitting on the whole time so he could walk out. Although it was funny when he asked if he changed the name would they cange it back, they clearly were fine with that and told him so and he was thrown for a loop expecting them not to, then tried to argue in circules to get them to say they would not change it, and they never would. Clearly he expected another Pirates Tavern fight with the name and read it wrong that they cared. But yeah, while I have no doubt they were set up with that episode, they by most accounts probably deserved it.

For some reason, the bar is doing financially well and has partnered with multiple sponsors. 2 (Black Light District) has a new owner and is doing exceptionally well. The facebook page states that the previous owner that was on Bar Rescue is no longer part of the bar 1 (O Face).

[@casesoutherland4175]

It would be awesome if Jon got called to rescue a bar and grill and had Gordon Ramsay train the kitchen.

[@bluesnake1713]

Or, not just a bar with a kitchen, but something that would get them both teaming up that someone needs both of them.

That dugout episode. Poor relative, you could see he was embarrassed. Like I feel you. I feel you.

Bar rescue: the best bar show I've ever watched. And John taffer is a legendary business owner!

Brittany Honaker I've been in KZbin for a long time and if there is anything I've learned. It's that lions do not concern themselves with the opinions of SHEEP.

I don't drink,but I have the most respect for Jon Taffer,he knows his business,and has the track record to prove it.Thirty five years. Yes,he's brash,but some of these people need a wake-up call.Humble yourselves and take the advice

Same feeling man.

Same feeling to I’m 19 and I love watching bar rescue and Jon Taffer is awesome

[@TheMissingLynx81]

His concepts only really work on tv...any actual bar person will tell you he is full of shit. He is really no better than a liquor rep hack. His constant reliance on craft cocktails is stupid and not practical. People don't order more than 1 of those, if that.

@@Fermion. less than 50% success rate is good for you? If you buy the made up stories about the debts, I bet you think survivor contestants could really survive in the wilderness.

[@bengalsbowlbound3137]

@Byron H It really all depends. Ive worked at bars that was cantered around craft cocktails in a nice area and people were forking 14$ a drink for multiple rounds and the bar was making lots of profit as a result. Not saying it will work at every bar but you have to know your clientele and cater to their needs at a price you know they’re willing to pay.

I worked at the bar of a nightclub for 2 years and I can say this: if one of the managers saw us drinking even a SIP of alcohol we would be out in the blink of an eye

Ego has killed these owners' ability to accept responsibility for their bad decisions, and then lost them the best chance they ever had.

[@lacouerfairy]

I'm thinking about that old hippie lady who had the horrible singing voice and insisted that everyone wanted to hear her sing. She reverted her bar back to the sh*thole as soon as Jon Taffer left and it inevitably failed soon after. I wish Jon had told her to go to hell.

Truth is a lot of them Joe could never save not matter how hard the man tries, some owners are to far up loonie stream without a paddle, he would just be throwing money into an ever deepening hole.

I needed to confirm, he walked out 4 times, not 2 like the last episode said, He’s now walked out of 5 bars congratulations on a 97.5 percent rescue rate

[@tarden132]

which was the 5th one?

[@InkAndPoet]

​@@tarden132Hideaway's in season 8. He left because the owner was a terrible alcoholic and the staff refused to admit it, even though they did in commentary. So basically, they lied straight to Jon's face and he wasn't going to deal with them and walked away WITHOUT EVEN GOING THROUGH THE STRESS TEST. Yep, this bar may be worse than O'Face.

[@tarden132]

would have been badass if Taffer had given the staff more training and then endorse them to other bars around the area. Saw that with Ramsey!

With Ramsey sometimes he straight fired the manager and promoted someone else from within who actually cared, or fired the exec chef and replaced him with the much more talented and interested line cook.

It's been a few years since I've watched an episode but I have NEVER seen Jon walk out on a bar rescue.. Like Jon I have zero tolerance for violence, especially in the work force. Totally agree with him 100% on all those walk outs he did.

That first owner said it all when he said “I just wanna know how to run 36 bars from a ship in Costa Rica”. He never wanted to put in hard work and grow a business, he just wanted someone else to do the work while he drank. He deserved it 100% lol.

[@shadowscall7758]

A lot of people want that kind of lifestyle and are jealous of people who have it. But they don't choose to see that most of those people worked long and hard to get there, it didn't just drop into their lap.

[@mr.hawklingiii8739]

Exactly he wanted the success like Taffer, but he wanted Jon to give him the magic “Instant Success” formula
