Spike TV Renews ‘Bar Rescue’ for Season Three

Spike TV has given the go-ahead to 20 more Bar Rescue episodes starring Jon Taffer. Taffer’s a bar/nightlife expert with almost 30 years worth of experience in the business and with Bar Rescue he shares his knowledge to help struggling establishments.
 
Season two of Bar Rescue averaged 1.8 million viewers.
 
The Plot:
 
In Bar Rescue, Taffer travels nationwide, targeting a different failing establishment in each episode. His approach may ruffle feathers along the way, but Taffer pulls no punches and values bottom lines above hurt feelings. Owners and employees he believes are standing in the way of success are urged to check their egos at the door, as he employs a proven scientific approach to solving the problems befalling bars.

In addition to Bar Rescue, Spike TV has signed up Taffer for a featured role in Hungry Investors‘ pilot. In the pilot episode, “Taffer teams up with two fellow restaurant industry experts to seek out ‘diamonds in the rough’ — neighboring establishments that are failing miserably, despite having amazing potential to succeed. The Hungry Investors put the struggling restaurants to the test in a head-to-head, challenge-based competition and the one enterprise that shows the most promise of turning things around earns a significant cash investment.”
