You're in the bar business; you're not a pool hustler!

Fading paint, dated electrical installations, leaking faucets, worn carpet amid an ever-lingering smell of cigarette smoke. Jon Taffer had seen enough upon his arrival at The Lucky Leprechaun Irish Saloon in Davenport, Florida.

He then shut down a $100 game of pool between the chef and the owner! :p

Watch him do it --> HERE.

Taffer goes on to tell everyone in the bar who lost money to Terry that night that Terry is paying everyone back. Terry tells Jon to go do something to himself. :shocked2:

Terry’s ex-wife and co-owner Georgiann Browne looks mortified.

The TV show "Bar Rescue" invested about $80,000 into the bar, pool and billiard hall, most of which was used just getting the place up to code. Georgiann said “the chaos was worth it.” The bar has been rebranded as Lucky’s Corner Pocket and they’re serving signature cocktails including “Terry’s Hustle.”

New episodes of Bar Rescue air on Sundays at 10pm on Spike.

Georgia Browne, in debt over $300,000, receives a new makeover at this bar.

Does anybody know this place?

Terry Browne, co-owner, in the white shirt! Will he quit hustling pool? Time will tell! :grin:

Thanks JAM for the sneak peak. Hopefully I get a chance to watch this episode when it airs.
 
I'll be in Fla for a week next month doing some visiting around Gainesville-Tampa-Fort Meyers. This place is a little out of the way, but who knows, maybe I'll drive by and check it out for a laugh.
 
I wonder after the bar rescue guy left whether the hustler went back to being a hustler regardless of whether he could make more just running a bar. "You are going to have to pry this cue stick out of my cold dead hands" type of thing.

i hope so. i'll be damned if i'd let some d-list tv show host tell me how to live my life.
 
lipstick on a pig. if the bar is a filthy pit and stinks of cig smoke. it is going to go right back to that after the show ends. thats why it is in a broke state of condition.. her is living in the 1970's where people put up with that .
 
You do all know this is a reality fake show...It's been on the news before that it's all scripted...Acting..Not real...Fake.....You can't see that by watching??? Really...
Look it up..They bring in actors for customers.. Where do you think those people come from in those long lines? Look it up on line or google...Scripted show..Actors....

Next thing you'll tell us wrestling is fake.

This is so obviously set up for the "reality tv" show it's absurd.

Besides, I thought a bet between 2 people is completely legal. I generally like this show, but this is just cringe worthy.

Let the old man hustle. Only stupid people get hustled so it's not really his fault. Pool the way it used to be and the way it should be. Gambling is a part of all sports.
 
Didn't look like any 100 a game pool I have ever seen
Fake probably, unless some banger just got paid and drunk decided to gamble.
I hate hillbilly pool

The place looked like every other Corner Pocket.
There were several in Colorado at one time
 
All the pool peeps we have in Florida, it's hard to believe nobody knows of this place. It has a lot of barbox tables in it.

We don't have anything like that up here in my neck of the woods.
 
The whole show is fake. John T would've had several broken jaws and most probably been "swimmin with the fishes" by now!
