"Bar Rescue" is an American reality TV series that premiered on Paramount Network (formerly Spike) on July 17, 2011. It stars Jon Taffer (a long-time food and beverage industry consultant specializing in nightclubs and pubs), who offers his professional expertise, access to service industry experts, and renovations and equipment to desperately failing bars in order to save them from closing.
All renovations and improvements are paid for by sponsors, with no cost to the businesses. Additionally, the businesses featured on "Bar Rescue" are under no obligation to follow any of the rescue protocols or keep any of the changes. Throughout the show's history, multiple bars have restored their original name or motif after filming wraps. Episodes are shot in real-time for five-day stretches, however, considerable planning happens ahead of time.
A total of 266 episodes, including one removed episode (unintentionally aired), have aired as of June 23, 2024.
