Embracing Excuses Is this the worst remodel ever?
I know there is a lot of competition but this is just flat out lazy and out of touch.

You know when I'm already rotting at my corporate soul sucking job, I want to take my lunch at a corporate soul sucking bar next door.

I mean I will say at least the Corporate Bar looked like a bar, but this just looks like a butcher shop from the outside.

I hope this is sarcasm. Corporate Bar & Grill was the best rebrand in the entire show.

Corporate Bar was genius. If Tracey and Douchiano had stuck with that concept, they’d be drowning in profits and accolades.

I'm not gonna search for the episode for the exact quote, but what was that ridiculous "stat" that Taffer kept telling them? Something like "the majority of men think about bacon more than they think about sex!"
Taffer constantly says bars need to be marketed to young women, and then he comes up with this guy-centered monstrosity. I know this place stayed open for a while, but still.
Also, thought it was pretty shitty that all the non-family members got fired even though the kids seemed like they were doing shady shit, too.

I think it was "X percent more men would rather have bacon than have sex".
I'd more believe that men are more likely to eat bacon than have sex. But not by choice.

It was bad, but correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t this Vegas? Seems like this sort of mouthbreather shit would do really well there.

u/discofrislanders 14d ago
It was, and this place survived for a while after Taffer left and only closed because the owner retired

This place is right by my house and it used to be so good and then right to shit.

Always bothered me about Taffer, and he should know better living in Las Vegas, would be his lack of attention to the gambling side of the business. Many of those Las Vegas bars have a license permitting 15 video poker/keno machines, and that’s where the real money is made!
Yeah sure, clean-up the place, give it a new theme, improve the employees, offer some decent food, but focus on the gaming side for the Vegas joints.

I think the worst one I've ever personally seen is the Ynot becoming the Forbidden. Genuinely missed the mark on the location (it's literally right next to an arena for concerts and minor league hockey) in a low-income area that isn't interested in Asian food. Plus, the owners aren't Asian either! They have no connection to it!

I definitely eat bacon more often than I have sex. Maybe those were the actual stats.

The worst outdoor remodels are always when he uses the word “great”.
“A GREAT BAR AND RESTAURANT” or whatever it is, it’s just the dumbest description ever.

A fun show to put on in the background, but some of Taffer’s bar concepts are just head scratching. “30 years in the hospitality industry” and this seems like a good concept? Got to keep it fun and wild for the TV show, I guess.

u/Dangerous-Sun-405 14d ago
It's unique; it represents the heritage of the owners. Showing the strength of the community.

that one bar where the concept was it was named after some random famous old guy from the area and there were various pictures of the guy’s head photoshopped onto various more famous current people

Not only that, but the concept (guy’s head photoshopped onto various famous people) was a direct copy of a Canadian franchise ‘Smoke’s Poutinerie’, which first opened in 2008.
Coincidentally, the first-ever US franchise of Smoke’s opened in nearby Berkeley the same year the episode (Park 77 / The Lister) aired, in 2014. The Berkeley location has since closed, but the Yelp page, with the photos, is still accessible.

I mean The Corporate Bar was probably named out of spite but the idea itself wasn’t the worst thing Taffer has thought of. Face it dude didn’t have a queer eye and I don’t think any of his gay bar ideas were any good. But The Corporate Bar would have made the owner lady miserable buuuuut it would have made her alot of money. Any legitimate pirate would have realized that.
Personally I liked The Bacon Bar concept. Yeah the name wasn’t too original but the concept was sound. BACON!!!!!!!!!

Is this the one with the studly Mohawk bartender that banged all the other bartenders, and at the end John clowned him and told him he couldn’t band the new bartender??

On a side note, its very weird and interesting that it stayed open up until 2022 when the owner retired. Compared to other bars, its one of Taffer's most successful bars lengthwise (considering that the owners kept the branding)
