Nothing wrong with a pirate themed bar. Just don’t have it look like a Morrocan flea market, manned by homeless meth addicts. Have the staff wear puffy shirts an tricorns, and then have a great catalogue of rum and and amazing drink menu with rum cocktails especially warm grogs for cold evenings. And have an awesome barbecue menu.

Every episode I always ask, “WHERE THE HELL ARE HEALTH INSPECTORS?” Do they need to be phoned? A report made? Or what? I honestly am not sure how they are brought in.

[@rebelwithacause666]

It depends on the state or place. Corporations have quarterly inspections from upper management that inspect the kitchen but most home town places only get inspections when they open or if they get complaints because there are so little health inspectors in the state. Sometimes depending on the state they actually have enough inspectors to grade the restaurants it really just depends on where you are. Best advice when you go anywhere is to check the bathroom because that will tell you how well the staff cleans everything.

[@G1NZOU]

@@rebelwithacause666 It's strange, I work for a large corporation and normally it's every other year in the UK unless you fail your audit (and failure is something like below 85%), then it switches to every year. It's really telling when a place fails its health inspection multiple times as the inspectors don't actually want to close places down, they'll tell you exactly what was wrong and what to improve on. giving you a chance to correct, so the places that fail are the ones that never learned and don't care.

I know a bar owner who was on this show, and yeah, there were some issues with the bar that definitely got improved, like the menu/food, the atmosphere, a specialty drink menu, not being able to train their servers properly, but cleanliness/health wasn't nearly as bad as the producers made it look. During the days before the reno, they deliberately left the back doors open so rats would come in when they weren't there before, and went way way deeper than anyone would even be able to clean, etc, so places that health inspectors pass with maybe a B+ end up looking like it should be shut down. That being said, I don't doubt that some places like the one with the cockroaches in the bottles are authentically disgusting, because it's all good drama for the show, but on rescues where the owner are sincerely looking to improve their businesses, don't have aggressive personality issues but are just shortsighted with unintentional blind spots, bartenders who want to improve, etc etc, like the bar I went to before and after the rescue and know the owner, sometimes things need to be heightened artificially and edited in order to create drama and keep people watching the show, otherwise the network loses money on each rescue if they can't make that money back in advertisers or ratings

The lowbrow "edgy" vibe was popular because it was different from all the yuppie places that regular folks had been priced out of. You went to the dive bars because you *couldn't go to any of the nicer places that required you to wear at least $1000 in brand name clothes to even be let in For a while those were the only places some cities had.

AP environmental teachers are always a little odd no lie

[@chriiiiis]

@@cassidy5091 bruh she's making us collect bugs for the first project grade of the year We have to go out and get a collection of 20 bugs, not research 20 bugs, no. Find and collect 20 bugs, we went over how to kill them and everything and I sat in the zoom call like "👁👄👁"

[@chriiiiis]

@@cassidy5091 I'm buying them online

[@cassidy5091]

Gay Idiot oh hell nah. I took AP Environmental last year and all we did was dig in the dirt and watch the office so she was chill but like she had her dead cat in the labs freezer his name was Fred and this cat was F A T 👁👄👁

[@youngace8113]

That metal and lace bar might suck but the band at 15:15 had me headbanging for a min

[@dirbrody]

Steve the pirate from “Dodgeball” should work at Piratze Tavern...

[@PandaProductionsSB]

5:12 that flashback 😂😂

[@scottaznavourian540]

When I'm thirsty I know I can always go for a tom palmer

[@WeepingAngel1999]

Horror bars are really cool, but the decorations in underworld just looked super cheesy

[@charleymitchell8904]

Yep looks like Portland.

[@tosinmcboy]

John is really really having ptsd flawhbacks to that pirate lmao

[@coolbabe4940]

My favorite Bar Rescue is the Pirate Bar one. It’s hysterical! 🤣🤣🤣

[@CourtneyLachiver]

Someone on Reddit claimed they took care of the cat at HeadHunters despite me calling them out for animal abuse. Leaving an animal locked inside of a business is abuse.

[@stevennewell5842]

That Horror themed bar is a great idea 💡 ,but what Jon said if done right ✅!!!

[@way2dead4u]

some of these owners really do be like "fix my place but also don't point out what is wrong with it"

[@coreythompson143]

when Nicole goes into the pirate bar for re-con, the place looks pretty busy to me

[@MsArtemis01]

Not for that expensive downtown location. It should be packed. It being closed after the show, the owner went down with her foolish ship. I

[@Darkcanada]

Why did he even help that guy at the end!!! Omg Mr Taffer!! Ur awesome and have way more patience than me!! Lol.

[@bgexclusive6769]

Famous quote: “when I talk to idiots I get loud” 🤣

[@TheNightDweller666]

I'll be honest, the underworld bar looks beast.

[@KatmaBear]

Idk if it's open anymore, but double daughters in Denver did a good spooky theme ❤️

[@CrazyClara101]

If well executed and in the right area it could be great, Japan has a ton of spooky/horror themed bars

[@Elleoaqua]

Beast? Is that good or bad?

[@TheNightDweller666]

Good

[@dcbabe0270]

That baby doll's positioning and whatever was on the crotch is extremely creepy and gross. Personally if I had seen that I wouldn't have helped them but I certainly would have sent the footage to law enforcement.

[@ambergathings7160]

And the naked man with his butt out, is this a stripper bar as well?

[@KRSStudios]

Why do the people at Pirate’s Tavern look like they got fired by Disney Land.

[@claytontidwell9574]

The owner of head hunters looks like the guy that killed Patrick Swayzes character in the movie Ghost lol

[@arashink]

"Maybe you're the biggest bug." uh huh huh huh huh nice comeback bro. I'm putting the over/under on his BAC at 0.115.

[@DumpyDumplin]

Tonic from Portland is closed I'm pretty sure. I literally lived within walking distance from this place

[@epresley8324]

“Well you’re dressed like a 6 year old child” BOOM! Kicking this compilation off right!

[@Six11Slender]

At 16:45 is there a roach on the wooden pillar? It makes it look like a mark on the bartenders cheek but I'm pretty sure it moved. Right after he says "it's a roach!"

[@frogprincess412]

When they showed Tonic in Portland, Oregon all I could think was "Welcome to Portland" LOL. I lived there for a while and while they have some amazing bars there are some very unique people (like the dancing girl and the guy with his ass hanging out)! Loved living there.

[@milanimacc3939]

It’s common sense like you’re at work!! I hate when every five secs my co worker needs a smoke break

[@andrewmaderer1989]

"That's a dysfunctional family." No, that's a dysfunctional brother.

[@MrDrProfessorMidget]

"pouring out of their shirts" Honey, so are you

[@bygrace8485]

The Headhunter owner is super creeeepy.

[@Hufflepuffzd96]

The guy from Headhunters look like wwe Era Eric Bischoff

[@michaeldavis3596]

I was about to comment THE SAME THING at least i know I'm not alone

[@Mariano379-y2y]

True

[@theginjreaper]

8:53 crying at that comment

[@InkAndPoet]

I'm expecting Black Light District. Edit: nope. Never showed up.

[@chadkennedy7855]

Doesn't count.

[@Drowninginantimatter]

The tonic segment is hilarious cause that is actually pretty relatively normal for Portland.

[@chu8139]

Steve looked like a rejected greaser, but he had some good line he said to Taffer, lol

[@satan3959]

He looks like a poor man's Willem Dafoe. LOL
