Dear Friends of The Chicken Bone:

Summertime has always been a very slow time of year for us here at The Chicken Bone. Many people are away on vacation and/or enjoying outdoor activities. This, combined with the changes in the economy and the rise in cost of living expenses, means we all have less money to spend on eating out and entertainment.

Up until last summer, The Chicken Bone had always been open 7 days a week. Last summer, in an effort to minimize the impact of the slow season, we reduced our operating hours and decided to be closed on Mondays. We have made the difficult decision to suspend our operations for the entire summer this year, with a re-opening scheduled for right after Labor Day.

We want to thank all of our staff and all of our customers for your friendship and support over the years. We know that The Chicken Bone would not be the special place that it is without all of you. We hope that you enjoy the summer and come back to see us in the fall for the great food and live music that The Chicken Bone is known for.

We will close beginning Tuesday June 17th and re-open after Labor Day. We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to seeing you again in the fall.

Sincerely,
Bill & John

"So as some of you may or may not know Bar702LV is now under new ownership and the calendar is staying the same. We are really excited about the new endeavor!!!"

Hi Everyone!! My name is Brooke Alexander, and I am the owner at Bar 702.

I moved to Las Vegas two years ago, after running and owning a string of successful bars in Chicago. But I always wanted a bar in Las Vegas. My dream finally came true in May 2014. I found Bar 702, and when I learned of the history as the Sand Dollar Lounge, I knew it was the perfect place.

Of course nothing worthwhile comes easy. I know of the struggles many bars have had trying to succeed in the Las Vegas market, and particularly how hard the Sand Dollar was hit back in the mid 2000's. I look forward to the challenge of making the Sand Dollar Lounge at Bar 702 the coolest place to be in vegas!

Staying true to the roots of the bar, we are going to focus on live entertainment. Having great bands here nightly is going to be our main objective. We want you to know that no matter what night you are looking for something to do, you will find the best music in town. During the week we will have many recurring events including things like our popular open mic night, funk jam and other local bands. On the weekends we will be booking a variety of local and touring acts, featuring different genres like hard rock, classic rock, blues, reggae, ska and much more. You can always take a look at our schedule to see who is playing throughout the month.

But we are going to be more than just live music. We will have many big screen TV's for you to come in and enjoy all the sports action week in and week out. Football, Basketball, Baseball, Hockey, Soccer...If there is a game or sporting event you want to see, we will turn it on for you.

So come on down to the ALL NEW Sand Dollar Lounge at Bar 702, and introduce yourself. I look forward to rockin' with you for many years to come!

• He was told during their audition video, which had a staged fight, that the footage would only be shown to Jon Taffer and Spike TV executives.
• When the film crew arrived, they "wanted to show chaos at the bar, including fighting, disorderly conduct, and an empty bar without customers."
• The bar was not open to the public or regular customers during the filming, and Bar Rescue provided the customers for the stress test to complain about the food, drinks, and service.
• Both fights on the episode were done after the Bar Rescue crew suggested they needed more drama.
• He said he told the film crew that he was done with the "shenanigans" and would not cooperate with filming any more staged scenarios.  The crew left saying they would use the footage they had.  
• Matthew was surprised and embarrassed to see the casting video as part of the footage of the actual show.
• O'Face has seen a decline in business since their Bar Rescue episode aired.

• "Great atmosphere, great drinks, fabulous service. In love with the new and improved P's and Q's auto-body. Went here on a Friday night at around midnight. Was shocked to see the drastic improvement to the place."
• "The pros: Bartender was nice and willing to discuss the upcoming Bar Rescue episode (airs October 5th). ....the interior and decor were fantastic.
  The cons: Music was way too loud for the upscale vibe they are looking to project. Also, the bartender poured himself a Sidecar when I ordered one and had a sip while we were there."
• "Very cool vibe- great place to sit and have a great time with friends listening to music. Not to mention the bartenders are super nice and the cocktails have a nice kick! Huntington needed a place like this! Definitely will be returning!"
• "Stopped by at 6 pm yesterday for a drink,and it was closed.   If these guys just changed the name and plan on keeping the same hours as Radio, I give it six months."

•  Here are two preview clips for the episode (one and two); however you can watch the full episode with the Spike TV app before it airs.
• The bar has a few too many Facebook pages. Here is the P's and Q's Auto Body Facebook page. Here is the Artful Dodger Facebook Page, a Radio Huntington Facebook page, and a Huntington Speakeasy Facebook page,
• Here is the P's and Q's Auto Body website, and the signature cocktails are $12.25.
• The Artful Dodger also had another location in Smithtown, NY, which they closed abruptly in August of 2013.  Despite being closed, they still have their Facebook page active and are promoting P's and Q's, so add another Facebook page to the list.
• From a 2011 article about Artful Dodger, "the Artful Dodger is 23+ guys, 21+ girls; but you can get away with 21+ guys as long as you have some hot chicks with you."  So, they went from not allowing 21 and 22 year-old guys to an 18 and over nightclub with Radio.
• Here are the Facebook pages of Brian (owner/promoter), Mike (bartender), Jen (bartender), and Brittany (bartender).
• Looking at Brian's Facebook page, his last post about P's and Q's Auto Body was on August 16th, and he has recently been posting about another bar name Aura, so it appears he may no longer be involved with P's and Q's Auto Body.
• After watching this episode, it looks like Bar Rescue is now allowing the employees of the bar to change outfits from day-to-day, which doesn't allow the show to edit the show however they please.
• For this episode the bar didn't serve any food, but they still had two experts, a bartender and a service expert.
• Jon Taffer will be live tweeting during the episode using the hashtag #TafferTalk if you are interested in following (Link).
• Here were the reviews of the Artful Dodger before the makeover, and they are pretty bad.
• The update at the end of the show said sales increased around 30% six weeks after the re-launch.

• "You need to come to Soyo! Nice and chill atmosphere, tasty drinks. Ask for Blue! He's the man!"
• "In short the location is designed very well with a great city vibe, the scampi wing are still my favorite. This bar has good food , an average city decor by Manhattan standards. A great local taste of craft cocktails in Yonkers"
• "The Main Quesadilla Burger was probably one of the best burgers I've ever had....Although it was a bit loud, we had a really good time and will definitely be coming back soon!"
• "Made my way to the Soft Opening & Grand Opening. It is very upscale, the new menu is great, and The "Eclectic Blue" is the best Craft Drink on the menu. Bar Rescue did a great job with the renovations, plus Kiko & Brian (Owners) are adamant about keeping it this way. Congrats."

• "Bartender was completely horrible. Babbled on and on about nothing, and completely forgot about the drinks she was in the process of making. It sat it a glass for 10 min In front us unfinished until she stopped flirting with the guy next to us and realized that she never finished our drinks. Food was amazing. Ordered another drink and she totally blew us off cause she was busy trying to take the guy next to us home. We complimented the chefs on our way out but will never go there again because of the horrible bartender."
•  "We sat down and ordered, and waited for our drinks and food. The Drinks came fast, but that was the only good thing. The food came, well some of it. My girlfriend didn't get to eat because not only did her food not come, but the waitress decided to NEVER COME BACK TO MY TABLE....I suggest not going there, it hasn't changed,and I really wish it would. They need new staff or they need to sell the place because Jon Taffer or not, this place is going under."

• Here are two preview videos of the episode (titled "Thugs With Mugs") that show bad bar food being served and the cheap liquor being sold as top shelf liquor which sets off a "brawl." (Link)
• Here is the So Yo Craft Bar website with menu, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook page. So Yo stands for South Yonkers.
• Here is a YouTube video of the owner Brian talking about the new bar and he seems to be stressing the fresh ingredients.  He also has an Air Jordan T-shirt with a chain on, while the dress code requires a collared shirt.
• Below is a 4-minute YouTube video of Brian and Miguel talking about the changes, and they seem to be happy with all of the changes, and feel hopeful about the future of the bar.
• So Yo is already offering multiple deals on Restaurant.com (Link)
• Here are the Facebook pages of Brian (owner), Miguel (owner), Sylvia (bartender), and Blue (bartender).
• Sylvia said she "use to work there" referring to the bar, so it appears she is no longer there.
• The mayor of Yonkers hosted a grand re-opening and ribbon cutting ceremony outside of the bar shortly after the makeover. (Link)

• "Beer was cold And food was awesome ... Got the wings calamari and flat bread pizzas they were awesome...I think it's a nice spot and now a relaxing chill spot to hang , good luck to them I hope this does better than what it was before it was rescued ... Also bathrooms have been improved !!!"
• "What a beautiful transformation! Comfortable, modern decor. I don't drink much booze, but I noticed the bar was well stocked with premium brands. The wines I selected were held at perfect temperature and fairly priced....Plenty of room in that open space. Staten Island is lacking a nice low key wine bar...Owner (I think) Stu, seems nice enough. I wish them much luck."

• "Wine is good, service is alright .. Waitress was great . Food is horrible . If you want a glass of wine and just hang out it's cool . Eat before you come here because you will wait an hour for lunchable snacks !!!"
• "Good wine. Worst service I've ever had. We got ignored the whole time and it took an hour to get food (that was terrible) when there was only 4 tables."
• "Classy Bar and Clumsy Ownership has really dropped the ball! Do not waste your time going here, it is as fake as the owners attempt to change."

• Here are two preview videos of the episode that show everyone making their own food and pouring drinks. (Video 1, Video 2)
• Here is the 5th & Vine Facebook page, which is kept up-to-date, but doesn't have the best grammar.
• Here are the Facebook pages of Erik (owner), Stu (owner), and Jolene (bartender).
• Right after Bar Rescue came, 5th & Vine was hiring servers, bartenders, bar backs and cooks.
• Here is a Facebook post on Erik's page, where he says "our show will be even more ridiculous and unbelievable!" than Walking Dead, and "It's all about entertainment"
• Here are some posts on Stu's (aka Stumanchoo) Facebook Page about Bar Rescue:
• When Bar Rescuewas scheduled to come film - "Saturday night. Don't really want to get into specifics. But things you thought you heard. Well it's a Coming. Saturday night we need to be wild we need to b busy. So come LETS Get clumsy Saturday night. It's gonna change our life and Stumanchoo will be that fun guy again. Cause he can indeed change! So at 11pm my life begins again. I expect all that love me, b at Brews sat night. Love you. Can't wait to walk on sunshine again"
• A week before the episode airs - "Next Sunday I expect Bar Rescue to have best ratings ever. Yes it's tv. But my own true story of how I live is deep, get ready for for a hell crazy episode. And if u know Stumanchoo I throw myself out there"
• Referring to people commenting about the bar on a local website - "And to all the bashers on si live. Some that I know personally. How could u. You should b proud of us for trying to do better. Instead of exposing us to ur insults. I'm above the fray. I hope everyone does well and I hope to one day laughing at this note w a cigar in my own big house."
• The reviews of Rhythm & Brews before the makeover were not that bad and people said it was always crowded with a younger crowd. (Link)

• Here are two preview videos of the episode from the Spike TV website.
• Here is the Tres Cuartos Facebook page, and website which is just a menu.
• I got an email saying that Tres Cuartos charges $6.95 for tostones, while there are a lot of Latin places around there that charge around $2 for them.
• Here is the Facebook pages of Ivan (owner) and Aida (mother/empanada maker) and Twitter page of Jeremiah (bartender/Ivan's son).
• Ivan is selling two pool tables on his Facebook page, so it appears he is keeping the Bar Rescue changes and not putting the pool tables back into the bar.
• Jeremiah credits Bar Rescue for "fixing things" between himself, his father, and brother. (Link)
• Ivan is known as DJ El Comandante (The commander) and Jon Taffer referred to him as "El Moron-te."  A few weeks after the makeover, Ivan said business was up 30 percent. (Link)
• Comments on that article refer to the bar's bad reputation and refer to things such as bullet holes, fights and switchblades at the bar.
• Here is a local message board talking about the makeover, which talks about the noise, fights, and unruly crowds in the past. (Link)
• In 2011, there was an arrest at the bar after an unruly crowd had some disagreements with police officers (Link).  A comment on that article said there are fights at the bar every week, but this one made the papers.
• In May of 2014 (3 months before the filming), Ivan's son Joshua was arrested and accused of being in possession of four pounds of marijuana and a handgun in Jersey City. (Link)
• Someone in the comments of the above article accuses the owner of Laguna Lounge of being a dealer and selling from his business.

• "Went here last night w a group for a birthday. Service was terrible. Waitress was slow and it took 45 mins for a quesadilla and fries. A couple of times we has out drinks served to us with a few missing drinks. The crowd is a neighborhood crowd and rude to say the least. The makeover is cool but thats about it."

• Here are two preview videos of the episode from the Spike TV website.
• Here is the Jack's Facebook page which is kept up-to-date, and the Jack's website, which both still say Jack's Ale House.
• The bar was closed for a few days after the makeover to finish things up and to train staff.  The bar also said it was an amazing experience. (Link)
• Brian McGowan was asked if he was happy with the makeover, which he replied, "We’re delighted with the work they did.  They really turned the look of the place around. Look at the bar, that’s a vintage fire truck design. We’re very happy with the way the outside garden area has been transformed too.” (Link)
• From looking at the comments on an article right after the Bar Rescue makeover, and another article in 2012, it seems that the McGowans have a lot of people saying they are great people and that they hope the McGowans succeed.

• "We each ordered a "famous" peach Bellini which were lacking much alcohol but still delicious. We perused the menu, eyed up the pizza comparing it to slices past, and reminisced about what Lickety Split once was...Upon leaving we made our way down a dark alley to avoid the danger that is South Street on a late Saturday night....Taffer, I think you failed on this one. I give it a year."
• "My husband and I randomly found this gem today! And we are so glad we did! Cheesesteak and pizza was fabulous and our bartender/waitress (Coco?) was so kind and even helped us tourists find some good stores and must-sees in Philly! Will definitely be back!!!"

• Here are two preview videos of the episode on the Spike TV website.
• Here is an Alleged Bar website that has a menu and a 2nd State Lounge menu.
• Here is a Lickety Split Facebook page, and a 2nd State Lounge Facebook page, which is kept up to date.
• Here are the Facebook pages of Tom (owner), Laura (Tom's Daughter), Coco (bartender), and Ally (bartender)
• Laura had her baby boy in October.
• Tom shared a link of the preview videos and said, "Everyone needs to check this out, maybe a little over the top!"  And followed up with, "How to make someone look like he is a buffoon!"
• In this post on Oct 29th, Tom said, "People really think reality TV is real it's just a show nothing is real! Please forget about what ya read! It was never about licketysplit it was about making a TV show nothing else!"  He followed that up with, "They put a new top on over the old bar! They tell you what to say over and over again and if they don't like your answer they have you say it again! When the camera is off that's it! It over no talkie talkie! The big lie it's all about commercials!"  He also said, "Oh I can be sued for a million dollars, for saying this!!!"
• In a September post on the 2nd State Lounge Facebook page, the bar claims they were lied to about the amount of money that would be put into the bar for Bar Rescue. 
• An October post on the 2nd State Lounge Facebook page had a picture (pictured below) which said, "Thank you bar rescue for the not free storage and how neat upside down on its side and broken! You guys are the best! Go a head and sue me!"  So apparently the show put the old stools in storage not so nicely, and the bar had to pay for the storage unit.
• Here is a Reddit thread of people talking about the bar, in which someone was at the grand opening.
• A recent story on Philly.com said, "Management stripped away the Alleged window decorations and restored the TV that blares ESPN. On the second floor, renamed 2nd State Lounge, drink specials are gone and comedy nights and music acts have been reinstituted."

"Hello Fans of the Chicken Bone,

By now many have seen information that the Chicken Bone is for sale. It saddens me to say this is true. When we closed for the summer we had the full intention of re-opening. We worked with a prospective new management team to try to be ready to go as soon as the summer was over. Delays and resulting economic conditions have made us unable to continue. When we realized this we found a buyer who was committed to re-opening as The Chicken Bone on October 1st . As the day came and passed it became clear that this buyer did not have the resources to move forward. We are in the process of looking for a solution and remain committed to the Chicken Bone brand.

Please accept my deepest apologies to all who love the Chicken Bone and have so patiently waited, as well as the bands who have stuck with us and been so patient though this difficult time. I have been trying very hard to connect with a serious buyer who has the capacity and fortitude to rebuild what I have damaged. My passion for The Chicken Bone will never fade. It is clear, however, that I simply had too much going on and I lost the confidence of many of our faithful guests and friends. I am sorry for letting you down. I have certainly paid a steep price financially, but worst of all, I hurt the place we all love. I'm not exactly sure what will happen from here. I don't know if I will find a buyer who believes, as I still do, that the Chicken Bone is a viable entity. A buyer who can provide the proper management and ownership oversight to build this place back up to being the place we all knew and loved. If you believe in the Chicken Bone as it was and want it back(minus me) that’s cool, I get it, please share this correspondence with your friends and let your feelings be known here in this forum and elsewhere.

We’ll continue to update you on the fan page as things progress. When new management is ready to come in and re-open, perhaps under even a new name, we hope you’ll give them the same loyalty that I was honored to have while running the Chicken Bone.

Thank You,
Bill Rodenhiser"

• "Now Osteria Calabria. Good location. Pleasant, engaging staff. Small. Good value. Has potential. Per staff statements, they are still trying to pull the pieces together after the Bar Rescue....THE FOOD IS TERRIFIC AND THE PRICES ARE REASONABLE! Clearly, our experience was a result of staff errors/confusion - that is a shame. We may return in a few months hoping that staff is more capable."
• "I say this place doesn't last more than 6 months if they continue to have it manager and waited by people who have absolutely no idea what they are doing or the capacity to have enougj people on staff period....Also..... It had a stale smelling carpet and terrible decor with a black ceiling that looks like a nightclub or strip club."
• "Plush was a place we would visit about once per month, usually for a Kez Theater show and it was never outstanding, but the food was decent, the orders taken correctly by a really nice staff, and the drinks were pretty good. The decor was 'funky' but appropriate. What this place needed was a 'freshen up' of their look and a menu enhancement. Then came Bar Rescue...The mural looks like a 9th grade art project which got a grade of C-. The walls are dark and with a black ceiling, it's uh... cozy...The poor wait staff looks apologetic and I feel for them. Why? Because it looks like this place is doomed...Obviously we won't be back and from other comments from other patrons.... this bar/restaurant is in big trouble."

• Here are two preview videos on the Spike TV website.  Also, all of the videos that are normally on the website after the episode airs are already on the Spike TV website if you want to see the reveal and more videos before the episode airs..
• Here is the Osteria Calabria Facebook Page, which is kept up-to-date.
• Here is the Osteria Calabria website and their food and drink menu.
• Here are the Facebook pages of Shari (Bruno's Ex-wife), Chris (bartender), and Lisa (bartender).
• In this post on Facebook, Osteria Calabria said that they did not apply to be on Bar Rescue, but that Bar Rescue called them to see if they wanted to be on the show.
• The reviews before the makeover were not too bad.
• Osteria Calabria thanked Bar Rescue and Jon Taffer for the makeover and new concept/look right before the reveal (Link).
• Osteria Calabria covered up the mural on the wall and posted a message on their Facebook saying, "No more giant penis on the back wall!!!"  Below is the mural after Bar Rescue (left) and what it currently looks like (right).

• In October, the bar removed the marble tile bar top installed by Bar Rescue and went back to their old bar top with coins, bottle caps, etc.  A Facebook picture of their bar top said, "Welcome back old friend.."
• The bar was referring to itself as The O.C. after the makeover, and they actually removed the sign installed by Bar Rescue (pictured below left) and created a new logo which says The OC. Bar + Bistro (right):

• "Great Burgers. Super friendly staff."
• "Stopped in the bar this last weekend. Nothing to brag about . The actual bar and bar stools were nice. The floor looked nasty. The windows were super dirty. Service was slow and the place only had a few people in it. No real reason to ever stop back in"
• "Went there on Friday night to check it out. There were some camera guys shooting. Possibly some follow up shots? I had never been there before it got "rescued" so I don't have past to present comparisons. Agree with the bar stools being really comfortable. The service behind the bar was lame though. I asked what the new drink specials were and the bartender said they didn't have any. I was suprised by that since the show always puts together the new house drinks. My fiance said the womens bathroom was not finished either. Interested to see the show about it."
• "Yeah. It was the Dirty Rooster, but had a nasty dirty parking lot. So, we called it the dirty parking lot. THen, on a whim, went there after bar rescue... service? Terrible. Asked for drink specials, were told there was none. not offered menus. Asked about an advertised special drink, then told they didn't have the ingredients to make it. even got a long story about how the sign was screwed to the wall, and they couldn't take it down. So... My experience... Dirty Rooster ---> Dirty Parking Lot ---> Lake Marie Lodge ---> Empty Parking Lot.  Won't go back."

• The makeover happened in September 2014.
• Here is a clip from tonight's episode of owner Rob acting obnoxious and Jon Taffer sending his experts in to say he wasn't going to help out.
• Here is the Lake Marie Lodge website that has a menu of food and drinks.
• Here is the old Dirty Rooster website.
• The bar was bought for $144,000 in 2011. (Link)

• In June 2014, the Dirty Rooster got a violation for "permitting a battery and over serving" (Link) 
• In October 2014, owner Rob filed for a "name change to Lake Marie Lodge and changes in ownership"
• In June of 2014, the bar was looking for "1 to 2 serious investors to get in on the next big thing."(Link)  So it appears they may have found someone based upon the October filing.
• Dirty Rooster is on Restaurant.com offering discount gift certificates. (Link)

• The Milwaukee Record was at Nick's House for the reveal and details their experience of waiting for hours for the reveal of Nick's House and leaving shortly after.  Jon Taffer supposedly addressed the crowd stating, "Something to the effect of “THIS IS A LABOR OF LOVE SO DON’T RUIN IT! YOU’RE HERE AS CUSTOMERS! DO NOT HIGH-FIVE ME! DO NOT TALK TO ME! HELP US PRESERVE THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION! THANK YOU!”"
• Here is a long review of Nick's House a few weeks after the rescue from Urban Milwaukee.  They said not a lot has changed and that is a good thing.  The review is very positive and Nick says a lot of new people are coming into the bar to check things out, and that bartenders are making as much money as the bar used to make on some nights.
• In the above review, which was a few weeks after the rescue, it states that the Bar Rescue newly installed tap system was not working during his visit.
• Here is a Reddit thread talking about the makeover which has a few people who were there for the filming.

• "Love this place and the new look is awesome!!"
• "Wow this place looks great. Let's just say not being a regular, but having been there enough times over the years to notice the overhaul it looks great. Its fresh. Congrats!!"
• "love the new look and the new food! cozy, welcoming, clean and reasonably priced. The openfaced Prawn Sandwich was wonderful and fresh! The Guiness Beef Stew was very good. I did miss potatoes, but that is ONLY my personal preference. The flavor was spot on. I had a cocktail that was just what I needed. Fruity, refreshing and dangerously delish! keep up the good work! i'm bringing my husband for a great bite of Pub Grub soon."
