5 Of The Funniest Bar Rescue Episodes & 5 Of The Worst, Ranked

Television shows can be a great way to become educated on a topic of interest, but it also can be a good outlet to watch other people's problems. When people decide to be filmed for a television show, their private lives and woes are out there for the world to see and that's exactly what can be seen in Spike TV's Bar Rescue. Jon Taffer made a name for himself in the food and night club industry and has done very well for himself. He knows the industry, so it makes sense that he would be the guy that comes into these establishments and critiques them in the best and the worst way possible. He's harsh, forthcoming and genuine, but above all, he's hilarious.

Below are the five most hilarious episodes from Bar Rescue thus far, because everyone needs a little positive reinforcement in their life right now. On the other hand, here are also the five episodes that are Grade-A nightmares for a number of reasons: the arguments, the owner or staff, or just plain weirdness.

10 Funniest: Yo-Ho-Ho And A Bottle Of Dumb - Piratz Tavern

This is one of the best episodes to date in some people's opinion because it involves a pirate-themed bar. Approaching this one must've been comical for Jon, as the people that worked there took it seriously; from their uniforms to their mannerisms, they were into it, 100 percent. The whole idea obviously wasn't doing well, hence the reason Mr. Taffer was there in the first place.

He tried to turn it into a more modern, "bro bar" named Corporate, but in the end, that didn't go over too well with the staff and the owners. In fact, one of the staff members ended up quitting because "he couldn't talk like a pirate" anymore and the owners eventually reverted back to the pirate-themed bar. It closed for good a short time later.

9 Worst: Not Cleared For Takeoff - The Airliner

An old L.A. music venue was the lucky winner for this episode and it needed major help. The interior and exterior were falling into disrepair and oddly enough, the owner didn't seem to mind one bit.

It's surprising that the owner would even agree on Jon coming in and working his magic, but at least it happened. It's still open to this day, so Jon must have sparked some passion in the owner, after all.

8 Funniest: Bro Bars And Bacon - Underground Wonder Bar

This jazz bar had been in business for over 20 years in Chicago, so some would say it has a pretty good track record, but once it moved to a different neighborhood, everything changed. The owner was a hippie that was known for her unique piano jazz, complete with a squealing chorus, four nights a week.

She was also vegan, so it was confusing when bacon was introduced on the new menu. It re-opened as a craft-cocktail joint that blended in with the masses and the owner wasn't happy. She eventually asked Jon if he dyes his hair while coloring on a placemat like a child, and she later used sign language to say some adult-rated words about Jon to her child.

7 Worst: Punch-Drunk And Trailer-Trashed - The O'Face Bar

A restaurant is a great place for a first job, but when the managers and staff don't care, it can be horrible. This was the case at The O'Face Bar, as the staff got drunk, started fights with one another, and much, much worse.

Once Jon put them to the test, the food wasn't edible, mixing glasses were broken, and a physical fight broke out. The worst part? These people were family. In the end, Jon decided to walk away for the first time in history and recommended counseling for everyone. Two years later, the owner was arrested on suspicion of abuse, so it's pretty obvious why The O'Face Bar is permanently closed.

6 Funniest: The One With Taffer's Wife - Sand Bar

Once a famous Vegas blues bar, Sand Bar was an establishment that had fans such as Etta James before closing in the 1970s. Thanks to a passionate OBGYN, this bar got a second chance. Unfortunately, it wasn't doing well and that's where Jon came in. He transformed the bar into a place where patrons could get beer-inspired cocktails and named it after the New Mexico zip code.

This all seemed fairly normal until the bar owner started being creepy to Jon's wife. He compared her arm to another more private part of her body, Jon got wind of it and flipped out on the OBGYN. There's a time a place, but it's definitely not at a bar.

5 Worst: Shamrocks And Shenanigans - Molly Malone's

Managing the bar was difficult for Bob Isaacson and it wasn't as easy as Cheers made it seem, so he brought in his girlfriend to help him out. It seemed like an easy decision until their relationship became strained. On top of that, his staff didn't respect him and conversations often turned into fights.

The worst part? The bar was losing $6,000 a month in revenue, which is never a good sign. Basically, there was no leadership, the bar lacked any sort of identity, and jobs weren't taken seriously. Jon and his team seemed to help guide the team back to their main objective and gave the bar a makeover and renamed it Way Point Saloon.

4 Funniest: Flying Ants And A Giggly Owner - Tonic Lounge

Tonic Lounge was a typical dive bar, but with horrible punk rock music that was often live. The first time Jon stepped through the door, he was met with an empty room and flying ants. Jon decided a better sound system, a new name (Panic Room) and a new menu would do the trick, but he couldn't get past the odd owner.

The owner kept giggling as if he was high on a substance and Jon was having none of it. By the looks of it, he could have given Gordon Ramsay a run for his money.

3 Worst: Too Many Managers, Not Enough Man - Pro's Sports Bar

In this episode, Jon realized that there was an abundance of managers on-site, which wasn't needed. They all seemed to have their own agenda, but the one thing they saw eye-to-eye on was giving the owner a hard time. It's not a good sign when the owner can't successfully manage his own staff and Jon saw this right away.

From their attitude towards the recon to the constant arguing, it was a painful episode to watch. Since the show, the bar is now called BR Steak and it is still in business.

2 Funniest: Raccoons And A Tacky Smoking Jacket - KC's Bar

Originally a private smoker's club above a bingo hall in a VFW, the first task of business was getting the pesky rodents and critters out of the ceiling. Since there was no way around the smokey room, Jon took it upon himself to go with that vibe and stamped a speakeasy theme on it instead.

As if there wasn't a lot going on already, the one pool table was being used as a buffet table, and later on in the episode, an actual raccoon ran across the bar and relieved himself. Reality television is known for being staged, but who really knows.

1 Worst: Owner On The Run - The Original Hideout

Two brothers owned The Original Hideout in Tucson, AZ. Its main issue was that one of the brothers owed $300,000 in debt and couldn't seem to keep up. The overwhelming weight these two brothers had on their shoulders was huge, but it's what some business owners have to endure.

The other brother, Raoul, couldn't seem to shake the stress and anxiety and literally ran away during filming. It was a sad scene as these brothers were completely in over their heads.
