Jon Taffer reaming these people like a pissed off mob boss is great.

[@redranger4953]

1:00:02 I don't blame Olivia for being pissed. If my boss shafted me out wages and spoke to me with disrespect within earshot of customers, I too would be furious and want to give him a hiding. She deserved better than that arsehole. According to Wikipedia, the bar had closed, and hopefully, she found something better after that.

[@WaterFlame957]

7:42~ "You want to doodle or do you want to talk to me?" "D'you dye your hair?" 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

[@venomous0720]

Her: D’you dye your hair Me: Oh idk, did you grow a new pimple

[@buklau1985]

How dare he trash her music, he doesn't know good music.

[@davidfearis7335]

Anyone who sees any Bar Owners who behave anywhere near like these people here, walk away from their bars immediately

[@garychildress5242]

Winners blame themselves, Losers blame others!

[@ImmrtlPhnx]

10:18 this man is outright despicable. a father, even a step-father, is supposed to love and accept their child unconditionally. ffs I don't even have kids and I can understand this wonderfully simple concept!

[@tac7288]

Unconditionally until they forsake or betray that love in some way, whether it's abuse, theft, etc.

[@Dominic201087]

"which means you're drinking mold" - guy proceeds to sip his drink lol

[@pajamaman2833]

The crayons lady was blowin my mind 🤯 how tf..

[@trashbiscuits1906]

my god, that “maybe the problem is because… I’m a stepfather” broke me. my dream would be to run a restaurant with my dad (and my mom). but regardless, that shit feels so evil. I feel so much empathy for her, I can only imagine how that would would affect a person day to day searing something like that.

[@mently_unstable22]

Jon taffer already had a big reputation for being an amazing business owner in the food and bar industry now he has an amazing reputation in entertainment he's a man of everything plus he's a genuine nice and kind person he'll show you that side of him if you deserve it but he is the type of person to rip you up with brutal honesty and aggression if your an asshole!

[@noviceprice2731]

The guy laughing about bugs he needs to have that smile knocked off his face.

[@emmavrijburg6676]

“There’s no roaches in the bottles” Yeah right and there’s no war in Ba Sing Se

[@82dorrin]

1:34:22 "Why would I make this beautiful so you can perpetuate your assness?" That has to be one of the most amazing sentences ever spoken in all of human history...

[@82dorrin]

To Mike's credit, he seems to have owned it.

[@jackblasbalg7936]

"i could build you the taj mahal and you'd ruin it with your assness" he followed it up with an equally amazing sentence.

[@vince11harris]

😂😂

[@cosettio]

I just watched the Lonnie episode today (crazy old lady musician) and honestly, she is very dissapointing. Her son should own it as he actually tries and does good, but for some reason she still has ownership. To keep it short, Jon did one of the best renovations I've ever seen on this show, probably #1 (and I've watched this show A LOT). She looked at it dissapointed that it wasn't her "Wonderbar" and changed the name a few days after. I believe they changed it to "clear bar" with all these cool ice sculptures and awesome decor. He even kept her stage. She was so ungrateful.

[@amandashamanda9479]

She was nuts. That lady was absolutely delusional and unstable af. They’re right - she could have done her weird like whacko bar someone else - but she didn’t do that so why tf would you open a for-profit business to make money but then NOT want to make money?!

[@thewheatness]

she's what happens when you get holes in your brain from too much cheap acid in the 60s

[@MatthewPiper-dv2uz]

Keep in mind here that Taffer had Lonie sign a contract forbidding her from reverting back to the bar's original name. Which she violated.

[@Koselill]

Imo the decor sucked and the ice sculptures would have melted and would have needed to be replaced regularly. Sometimes Jon needs to realize that he can't change someone and either leave or give them what they want. Or have all his work undone the next day lol they should have worked with her to find a new location for her bar in a better area or smt. But yeah, she was fucking crazy.

[@cosettio]

@Koselill 100% agree. it sucks that on this show they're only given 3-4 to completely change a bar. even a week would be better and would show longer lasting results. and also, i do agree about the ice sculptures, there's way she would be willing to not only upkeep them, but to take financial risks with them.

[@trevorjensen2706]

Props to Jeff, he was one of the few bar owners that took responsibility for their failures.

[@JoshNieporte]

I like the part where Jon gets mad.

[@gregarioustable224]

I think it’s pretty funny that the Headhunters guy is drinking a bottle of water as opposed to a drink-probably because he knows there’s roaches in his bar.

[@TheGreat1Four20]

lol when John was like "every decision u make and the fact u steal from the other owners and that you're a drunk means you are a jerk" then the drunk was like " i don't see it that way" lol had me cracking up so hard i almost pooed in my pants.

[@shawngiver5570]

I like how at least some people in the first one were having a decent time but Jon is like “nothing going on in here” He’s such a savage lmfao

[@fredkelso1089]

The gal with the long grey hair is stoned out of her mind

[@313blahblahblah]

Lmao I love the bouncer at the end. He was living for it.

[@kingspinks]

That stepfather line was beyond cold and a piece of shit move to say on tv because you feel some type of way smh

[@buggedout1314]

He brought out the step dad card lmfao

[@theoholmes8471]

I really feel for Jeff. He sounds and looks like a really decent person. He speaks well to people and his own neck in on the line while his doing it. That man deserves winners around him. I'd work for him if i could.

[@rojamillerover]

He does a good job but he doesn't speak well no. That man is always shouting

[@horhay1907]

I can’t imagine what it’s like being in a bar and watching Jon taffers angry face walk through the door. And also watching this shit go down in person must be hilarious if you watch the show

[@bella_da_bee]

Jon beating out 6 frat guys will never not be entertaining.

[@stanclark8824]

Those frat guys were pathetic whiny crybabies.

[@Dinesh-kj3oc]

Mike the security guard at the end is literally the best ending to a compilation I’ve seen! 😂😂😂

[@GeneralTinMan4]

Blows my mind how many reach out to Taffer for help then not even deep clean the bar knowing damn well what will happen lol

[@LucaBunny.]

No one can survive being told ‘you’re fucking your family!’ He get real mad when someone’s running a whole family into bankruptcy but it always shocks me he goes there

[@LucaBunny.]

Steve was definitely the biggest bug, kinda reminded me of a more villainous Steve Carroll character

[@Chiffawndue]

Chefs on Kitchen Nightmares: Gordon doesn't know how to cook x food. He's from Britain. He doesn't know what real food tastes like. Bar Owners: John doesn't know how to run a bar. My way's better. Both: Have made millions, and are highly regarded in their fields.

[@grylltheonion]

Hubris kills.

[@queenbae6396]

I love this show, even if it's not available in my country 😂

[@sweetrocks610]

Use a VPN, connect to a country where it is available and you can watch it

[@johnathonklinedinst5889]

Download the Paramount Network app. They have most of the episodes on there. If you can.

[@osagiee.guobadia-secondytc4624]

You are not alone. Everyone including me love this show too also related to Kitchen Nightmares hosted by Gordon Ramsay. 😀

[@piper7159]

M,

[@CalifScots]

Whenever I see John or his expert point out the grease in a kitchen and talk about ‘just one spark’ I really want them to haul the stove out into the parking lot (Especially if they are replacing it anyway) and light it up. Just show them how easy it would be and how nasty the fire would get. Grease fires are UGLY!

[@TawnyRoyal]

39:20 Paul is just a parallel universe of The Office where Michael gets drunk during the Dundee Awards instead of Pam. ETA: the last one, Mike the Security’s commentary and facial expressions after Taffer ripped the wife a new one is HILARIOUS. He’s been WAITING for someone to say what he’s been thinking for the longest😭🤣

[@HaLLiEB85]

The whole “ass” episode w the bowling alley always makes me laugh 😂

[@theanoneya8288]

I laughed so hard my dog came to check on me

[@leonhilburn4296]

Dude if I had him to help me out and try to fix a business of mine I would be humble and I’d take it all. These people are complete idiots!

[@peterjarnes25]

Most of them... there was one or two half humble ready to learn. And you're very right!

[@youreverydaysaltyiowastate5602]

Either that or their drunks

[@kebokev7519]

There alcoholics and their ego's are massive

[@handsofrand6660]

they probably screen through all the bars that request to be on the show for the worst owners possible, so they can get more views in the episodes

[@karlsteffen7804]

Fun fact. Battery charges are the actual physical contact between individuals. Assualt charges are the percieved thought that you were going to be hurt.

[@tiffanysmith3210]

THESE OWNERS SHOULD BE GRATEFUL THAT JOHN DOESN'T CALL THE BOARD OF HEALTH ON THEM!!

[@tennyw3971]

Thank you!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@rewto5131]

Or the police in some cases

[@dplowden8490]

Or both!!...😂

[@SabrinaTS]

I was a bouncer for 9 months at a sports&billiard bar, watching bar rescue brings back memories; the good, the bad, and the ugly.😅

[@ethancrisp3491]

I love watching these and then going to a bar, not seeing any kind of menu, asking for a cocktail only to be told they dont make 'fancy' drinks, and then just get overcharged for a beer

[@Brian_Williams5298]

Olivia the bottle service employee is a great employee, she realizes that the bar needs to make money and the owner is just giving away $800 bottles for free smh

[@breanntheartist1989]

Jon yelling at incompetent bar owners and staff gives me life.

[@lilliako]

"He's not my boss, that's my friend." Yeah, that's the problem, buddy. A owner, manager and supervisors aren't there to be your friend, they are there to get the job done.

[@poodypooroo]

That was a group of idiots who wanted to own the place they got drunk so they could impress people. "THAT'S A FAKE F'IN ID AND YOU KNOW IT". Yeah dumbass that's the point. You didn't know it.
