The Cask (Game Room & Social Club) - Bar Rescue Update

In this week's episode of Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer and crew are in Orlando, Florida to rescue Game Room & Social Club.  The Game Room & Social Club is a bar that revolves around the theme of games such as board games. The owner is very passionate, but the bar is failing due to a flawed and misguided concept.  When Jon Taffer is doing recon, he sees items in the  kitchen are being cross contaminated with raw chicken.  

During the Bar Rescue makeover, Jon Taffer decided to change the name of Game Room & Social Club to The Cask: A Whiskey Bar and the bar has kept the name. Let's take a look at some information, reviews, and updates for The Cask since Bar Rescue came and made all of the changes to the bar (All reviews are post-Bar Rescue):

Positive Reviews:

• "I had a good time here. Amir was our bartender and he was really attentive and personable. Made sure we were taken care of and had a positive experience."
• "Amir is one of the best bartenders out there, super friendly, hard working guy. He is a sports FANATIC and if you are there for sports and the TVs he’s your guy."
• "Great place to hang out"

Negative Reviews:

• "Amir the bartender had a negative and bad attitude, made my friends and I feel uncomfortable and immediately wanted to leave. Terrible service, hire a better bartender!"
• "Atmosphere was nice but service was slow even though it was empty and the $14 Sazerac remix drink was weak. Not ever coming back."
