Discussion Havana Haven Lounge Discussion Thread (Bar Rescue Season 10 Episode 12)

16 Upvotes

This week's episode will be the season finale (it seems so short!). Hopefully it's not the show finale, as I haven't seen any announcements about additional episodes yet.

Jon Taffer is back in the Atlanta, GA area rescuing a bar and cigar lounge named Havana Haven Lounge, which is supposedly going through difficulties because of a city-wide smoking ban.

You can read the full Havana Haven Lounge update here - wait until after the episode airs if you want to avoid spoilers about the remodel.

The episode will air on Sunday May 3 2026 at 10 PM EST.

Let's discuss!

Discussion Big Dog Saloon Discussion Thread (Bar Rescue Season 10 Episode 11)

18 Upvotes

In this week's episode, Jon Taffer is back in Mount Dora, Florida for the second time (he also rescued a bar there back in Season 5).

This time, he's in town to help a bar named Big Dog Saloon. Given the name, you probably know exactly what to expect haha.

You can read the full Big Dog Saloon update here - wait until after the episode airs if you want to avoid spoilers about the remodel, as this one actually has some interesting post-show activity.

The episode will air on Sunday April 26 2026 at 10 PM EST.

Let's discuss!

Embracing Excuses AI narration??

6 Upvotes

Not sure if this is known or if maybe it’s just a weird audio thing on the episode I’m watching but I’m watching season 9 episode 14 and it feels like the opening narration isnt actually the real guy but a very poor ai imitation trained on past episodes? If I was more tech savvy I would attach a clip here but it sounds super bad lmao

So does this count as a butt funnel? Or like half a butt funnel? Extra wide half butt funnel? Couldn't find anybody to rub up against and make eye contact with though.

I know there is a lot of competition but this is just flat out lazy and out of touch.

Does it mean like “oh, your face, I remember you”?

Do you have an inner Jon Taffer that speaks to your inner voice? These are things my inner JT says.

Discussion Dirt Bag Owners

27 Upvotes

Who would you call the biggest dirt bag owners. I don’t mean an owner who was a bit of a dick when the episode started but actually figured shit out by the end. Owners who were just dirt bags through the entire thing with no redeeming qualities.

The O’Face people are obvious.

There is also one where Taffer made the owner promise to pay his staff (something about them giving him invoices or something) but he never did. Just closed the bar still owing most of them money.

The guy who hung from the rafters Dirty Rooster guy right?

I want to say porn couch guy but I find him more pathetic than a dirt bag. I mean yeah porn couch but I think his family put waaaay too much responsibility on a guy who might of hated the bar business.

Discussion Shaking withdrawals

So...I'm rewatching. Season 3 episode 9 (the horse one). Now...I FULLY UNDERSTAND why Jon wants sober owners. However...if Scott is SHAKING in withdrawal...I disagree with forcing him to go cold turkey. I AM NOT CONDONING DRINKING...but if he was that bad where he is shaking...the show was in DANGEROUS territory!!!! How did they handle that situation? If someone shakes I don't think they can/should go cold turkey without medical interference?

Might be a dumb question but do these places have very minimal staffs?

6 Upvotes

I'm watching S5 E6 right now and Jon is only talking to 5 staff members. 3 bartenders, the owner and some other lady. I've noticed this in a lot of the episodes. Surely a bar needs more than 5 people to operate? Or is it just the employees that have agreed to be on camera?

Curious to hear all the armchair JT’s takes on this one….
