Just started, looks like nice place, only 20 minutes in r=to show. Apprently Taffer's experts say mixed drink suck.
Bar Rescue - Griff's Las Vegas - Anyone watching?
- Thread starter CocoboloCowboy
- Start date
I was there 3 weeks ago. I wanted a bloody mary, just tomato juice and vodka. They used Zing Zang bloody mary mix. Too spicy, so after the first 2 drinks, I asked if they could use just tomato juice and vodka. The bartender girl could not find any tomato juice.
Well the Rescue show was not typical Bar Rescue, Taffer threw nothing, did little yelling, but Griff's look OK before Taffer.
Think Griff was benefactor of some technology, clean system, new POS, and Griff's got a lot of goodies, and free advertising.
Food was elevated, they got some training on mixing a proper drink.
Hid of reminded me of taking delivery of a New High Dollar Performance Car, and then have expert tweek it for more power, and top detail guy do a proper detail, as dealer use cheap help.

I saw bits and pieces of the episode. Will re-watch later.
Gary was there at the end of the episode. Seems he did ok from what I saw...got to say his piece..his version of how he felt.. learn some things and stay there working. Place seems to have been left better than when they started. A huge amount of free advertising was had by Griff's too. A net positive for them.
I do not know if Gary is still there however.

Is this online to watch anywhere. No cable here….
It sounds like the show was a contrast to the couple of shows I have seen. I am so glad to hear that. Good media coverage furthers our sport and improves our image.
Bar Rescue - Behind the 8 Ball | Paramount Network
Despite its pre-pandemic popularity, Griff's Bar & Billiards is at risk of failure due to COVID-19 and mismanagement, so Jon steps in to help save the Las Vegas pool and billiard hall.
To watch you need to be a subscriber to one of the cable or streaming services...though there may be a one time free watch deal available. Not sure how that would work.
Sounds like the place didnt really need rescuing.
Well Mark got upgrades, advertising, and should help place over all.
Whould have been nice to see area where pool tables are, but that was not shown.
Las Vegas is not on my bucket list to visit, but Taffer make over did add some sparkle effect to Griffs.

But I question one thing about Mark, according to show not long ago he had Bilateral Lung Transplant.
Guy is 73 I believe, not sure I would want stress, and headaches of any business with that medical history.
Also with his other stuff CSI, etc., he has, why not sell everything. Be set for life, doing what you wish to do without headaches of business.
But the flip side is Warren Buffet who is also ok financially ok, but is in game of making money. As that must be his love. Warren must like to be in action of stock market.
Believe Taffer does trade out with people who do thing like POS systems, glassware, they are also mentioned in credits.
Those Bars Taffer makes over get big bucks in free stuff.
Taffer knows his stuff, but some of his rescue still fail, because they do not do what they were institacted to do.
Six weeks after the show he was fired.Saw on Facebook this AM that Gary was fired. Confirmed by Gary
If I owned the place, I would have probably fired him, too.
Seems like he was better suited to run a pool tournament than a bar and grill. Inefficient with his time if he spent 7 days a week working and could not answer basic questions.
I like using V8 with my bloody mary's, the touch of pepper one, with a bit of clamato, a few dashes of worcheshire, bit of horseradish and a few dashes of hot sauce. I wish more bars would actually "mix" the drinks and not use some bottled mix you can buy at a supermarket.
I was surprised when I saw this come up (Mike Dechaine shared it on Facebook) as when I went to Griffs a few times I did not notice they were having any issues there. Seems more of a "fun" episode rather than an actual "rescue".
Yup, I saw that too.Saw on Facebook this AM that Gary was fired. Confirmed by Gary
