You don’t have to drink, enjoy going to bars, or have any interest in ever owning one to get into Spike TV’s Bar Rescue. The addictive series finds “nightlife expert” Jon Taffer visiting bars in deep financial trouble and, over the course of just a couple of days, providing the ideas and supplies to turn them around. And because the series is so popular, Spike TV has renewed it for a fourth season.

The fourth season will consist of 20 brand new episodes and will air sometime this coming fall.


According to the network, the series is averaging 1.8 million viewers and season three has just gotten underway (as of March 9th). In fact, Taffer’s proved so popular with viewers that he’ll also be featured in a new Spike TV series titled Hungry Investors. Teaming up with celebrity chef John Besh and Top Chef All-Star Tiffany Derry, Taffer will attempt to find “diamonds in the rough” establishments and help them achieve success.

The Bar Rescue 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 while he employs a proven scientific approach to solving the problems befalling bars.
