They did an episode on a bar out here in Maryland, Pirates Tavern, apparently the staff, owners, hated the makeover, and new clientele that came with it. And changed things to how it used to be.

The husband had that bytch trained. He didn't even know how to cook. I wouldn't have made over shyt. If Ramsey was doing a show there, he would've said "fukk off" and quit, and the producers would've been like "no makeover for you".

that bar is down the street from my crib. i didn't see the episode but it's since changed back to pirate bar. and when it was redone, one of the most appealing improvements they made didn't work - the self-service beer, because county laws didn't allow it.

people at work don't want a work-themed bar, and after hours customers want that even less.

the "piratez" theme is stupid, as well, and its for "theater majors" who never made it to university to have jobs.

that being said, the bar rescue guy didn't rescue them at all

nah, he helped...gave them a new menu, had that real chef come in there...remodeled the entire place...that woman would have started making money, she didnt generate income for like 5 years....this would have had her straight

the fact is those people never wanted to grow up...and that bar was turned into everything they despised turning into. they had to wear regular button down clothes and talk to regular people. you saw (if you watched) one eyed mike..he was like "How do you do today good sire?" the woman was like talk like a normal person and he was like oh my bad "How do you do today good sire?" shyt had me rollin....

those cats had to wear nice clothes and pants, spike probably bought them one pair for the show and thats all they had...they had clothes full of different costumes breh...none of those employees are every going to come up and do anything better than work at a place like that, they are so shameful they couldnt even get a gig working at adventureland or a pirate themed chucky cheese or disneyland (which is actually a tough gig :manny:)

the corporate isnt a place where you dress up to go to, you dont put on the suit and tie then go there to eat like one of nucky's places on boardwalk empire...that place was like smack dab in the middle of corporate territory..if you work a couple blocks from that office your more than likely wearing a suit of some sort and after work you loosen up that tie and go get some drinks and some food that caters toward your pocket...you dont go to bw3's or chili's....or some dive bar with low lights and 'the regulars'..if you come in from outta town to do business or have a meeting and do an hour or 2 lunch..your not going to change out of your suit and tie or slacks and dress down to go to chilis or ruby tuesdays or bw3's you might loosen up the tie a bit and go get some classy food from a nice looking place. that nikka juciano poured habanero hot sauce on chicken and wouldnt eat it his damn self, and the drinks just consisted of pouring random booze into a big glass...how much would you pay for that?

the road they were on were destined for failure..after taffer they could have made dough.

They hooked up the inside but the new name and logo was stupid. I understand you want to cater to the office buildings but they took it a little too far. The husband/cook got the owner whipped bad.

If they not making no money how are they paying the employees. You would think they would welcome more people and more potential for tips but I guess nobody worked there for the money.

uhhh what?
i aint seen this one can you elaborate?

It was some dive bar. They had no menus. So anytime someone wanted to order food. The waiter would come get the cook out the back and have them talk to the patron on what they have available. The shyt was commical. You'd see the cook come out of the kitchen, cross the bar and hit up the table..take the order....walk back past the bar and then into the kitchen and start cooking. And they wondered why they were losing money. :heh:

A lot of these bar owners can't possibly be educated because a lot of their issues are clear to see. That's why I'm laughing when John comes in and crushes the buildings.

didnt know that. i think they just wanted to be on tv cause most of the bars that were rescued accept the changes. i think their the second bar on the show that changed everything back after the show left

breh i live in this neighborhood, and the corporate bar was shyt. everyone hated it. people at work leave work to leave work, not to go out and be at a restaurant/bar that reminds them of work.

not only that, it's not smack dab in the middle of corporate territory. across the street is a dive bar that does really well, there's about 12 barbershops on the next 3-4 blocks alone, a church, a school, 5 ethiopian restaurants, a god damn fountain where kids run around in summertime in bathing suits, and a plaza that gets turned into an ice rink in the winter, but is a concert shell in the summer and spring.

Discovery is headquartered there, and there are office buildings, but its not strictly corporate. not even close. and even if it were, refer to my last point about people wanting to LEAVE work, not extend their stay over lunch.

yes, piratez tavern is a stupid bar that has 3 kids of customers: those who are into it (the minority), those who are like :wtf: when they see the outside and go in on curiosity, and those who go to make fun of it.

but when i say he didn't rescue them, i mean he gave them one shyt bar for another. you couldn't even use the best part of the new bar, the self-service beer, which i already mentioned in my last post.

shyt i didnt even know all that. I hated the name, but the layout of that joint was alright. That lady just didnt have any business running one.The pirates joint was fukking dead, at least if the "Corporate Bar & Grill" had a different name, it was still modern looking, but really how many people go to a spot like that during their lunch breaks.

Overall tho,dude does a good job of helping some of these dumb muhfukkers out

The people running piratez are awful business people. I went to a performing arts high school about 15 mins away, and I see failed theater nerds go in there all the time, working or just hanging out :snoop:

Can't run a bar on such a small demographic

Not only did the idea of the place suck, the food sucked, and the drinks were shytty too.

I'm saying tho, dude be tryna talk to em, and then they wanna let their ego get in the way and not listen. Plus id say like 80% of the time he gets hyped up when theres safety/health violations.

Like the joint in Fells Point where ol girl was cuttin the raw chicken and then touched the cheese for the nachos without washin her hands :huhldup:

First example I thought of, broad was handling that chicken with no gloves on and had the nerve to touch other food without washing her hands. Ima laid back guy but even I would've been barking at ol' girl, you don't fukk around with salmonella. So I understand why dude be yelling at folk, it's too easy to get sick off food if you're not careful.

I love these types of shows where the host goes in and completely shyts on someone's establishment. Tabatha's Salon Takeover >>>>>>>>* I'd marathon these shyts...these salons were just absolutely disgusting. I typically go to my Uncle's salon and while he's completely unprofessional (slow, never does your hair exactly how you like it, LOUD) it still was clean...those salons were gag worthy.

And Restaurant Impossible >>>>>>>> :wow:

I see I need to add Bar Rescue to my tv viewing.
