List of Bar Rescue episodes

Bar Rescue is an American reality TV series that premiered on 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.

It is an commonly believed that Taffer takes a percentage of the businesses he rescues, however this is untrue. All renovations and improvements are paid for by sponsors^[1] 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 its motif after filming wraps. Episodes are shot in real-time for 5-day stretches, however considerable planning happens ahead of time.

131 episodes, including 1 removed episode, have aired as of November 20, 2016.
