Horrible experience. Went on a Friday night @ 7pm. Was told they weren't open yet, they were still setting up. Gave them 10 minutes, went in, were told they open at 7, what wine bar opens at 7 on a Friday. Go in, first customers in the place and there are drinks (just a straw and a lemon in one and just water and a straw in the other)at the table that were probably left from the night before. The couch looked dirty and the place smelled like a dirty dish rag. Looked at my friends and we were all in unison that we were out of there. The staff said, we're still setting up so give us some time, we said we'll go somewhere else thanks. Just lost 3 cash paying customers and I definitely won't be back again. Btw, on the front door is a B rating from the health department. And just from the visual and smell of first impressions, I can see why.CAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415437291380609634.post-82816041209277060732015-01-01T22:26:11.131-05:002015-01-01T22:26:11.131-05:00The bikers were not fake I live right next to the ...The bikers were not fake I live right next to the bar. They were there everyday before the restoration. I've only seen the bikers hanging around there once after the whole Bar Rescue thing. I don't own a TV so a change of name was a bit of a mystery to me for awhile and I wondered about the bikers dissappearing for the longest until someone told me what happened.AnastasiaKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415437291380609634.post-79945382385202747782014-12-09T03:26:51.390-05:002014-12-09T03:26:51.390-05:00I think he is a little slow, at least that is what...I think he is a little slow, at least that is what I got from the episode.

If you need a follow-up you TELL THE PEOPLE when you are coming back. Do we passed. Did we get more certified people? No, but we had one on duty when they came back.

Besides, no way a biker 'gang' would allow themselves to be kicked out with just "you'll miss us" as the comeback...

I wanted the episode with the smart ass owner of the Canyon Inn to fell. What kind of idiot argues with John, who is giving him a total re-modeled bar over something as stupid as a name. You could tell by looking at the guy, that he was a ass hole. He went back and changed the name back to the original name and was felling last I heard. I hate to see his employees lose their jobs but I hope he fells and sells to someone with a personality to run it correctly.hunter266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415437291380609634.post-41393928428997154132014-11-29T19:11:49.147-05:002014-11-29T19:11:49.147-05:00Well, people are pretty stupid (or told to be...),...Well, people are pretty stupid (or told to be...), and in over ten years of Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen, no one has ever figured out that that two of the things that Gordon is going to ask them is how to make risotto and how to cook scallops.Giant Monster Gameranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415437291380609634.post-76635429408862854892014-11-25T05:40:58.538-05:002014-11-25T05:40:58.538-05:00Sadly, the whole show was scripted.

It may look (to owners as well as everyone else) like getting good advice, free (?) new furnishings and logo, and, of course, free publicity by being on the show as one of Taffer's triumphs. But potential customers may think: It's the same owner and cook who allowed the bar to turn into a toxic dump -- and I'll bet that as soon as Taffer left they fell back into their old habits.bernardjsussmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415437291380609634.post-63867040039650367652014-11-18T18:24:58.276-05:002014-11-18T18:24:58.276-05:00I am surprised that (as far as I know) no city mag...I am surprised that (as far as I know) no city magazine has done an article on a Taffer rescue. There seems to be plenty of hype and fakery (or at least unrevealed machinations) that would make for a fascinating revelation.<br />By now, after four years of Bar Resue on TV, you'd think that barkeeps in trouble would have watched AND learned from previous shows, and already tried some of the remedies (at least the obvious ones like cleaning up, simplifying the menu, and keeping the staff in line) .... yet EVERY episode even in the fourth year has owners reacting to instructions about vermin removal, kitchen cleanup, and staff sobriety as if it were entirely new concepts.bernardjsussmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415437291380609634.post-58580071236370065792014-11-18T12:51:12.152-05:002014-11-18T12:51:12.152-05:00It's been said about other places that Taffer&...It's been said about other places that Taffer's advance crew TELL the bars NOT to clean before a taping.Louis E.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415437291380609634.post-16771237259111273232014-11-11T10:51:02.252-05:002014-11-11T10:51:02.252-05:00Here especially Taffer threw a fit over lack of cl...Here especially Taffer threw a fit over lack of cleanliness, with really spectacular grunge shown on camera. Which raises a question in my tiny mind: For four seasons, one of the first things that Taffer makes a fuss about, in virtually every ep, is sanitation - replete with camera views that turn the stomach. In most of these cities there's a health inspector who's supposed to ride herd on such places; never a word about his dereliction. And Taffer was INVITED, so howcome the bar owner didn't prep the place, knowing Taffer's fixation with sanitation?

I think some of you watch a little to much Sons Of Anarchy. Second of all, the area where they are located is on Richmond road, you know what's very close to that area? The 122 precinct on Hylan blvd, and they're always Patrolling that area, so the notion that they're going to come back with the rest of their club to tare up the place is idiotic at best, never mind the fact that they'll have an entire precinct on em in minutes.. They're not going to risk it. I live in Staten Island, I know a few bikers, and believe me they're not that stupid. Get your facts straight before you start assuming that something is fake.lil1talynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415437291380609634.post-65503717592056100852014-10-21T17:05:20.437-04:002014-10-21T17:05:20.437-04:00How is it possible to have a homeless family membe...How is it possible to have a homeless family member and you DON'T know?????
