• "Love, love, love this place. My girlfriend brought me here to listen to some live country music and maybe get a little dancing in.....The food was good and the music was great. Only wish they had a better selection of local craft beers on tap. The place filled up quickly once the band started to play and stayed busy throughout the night....This is also a biker bar and I was pleasantly surprised to see bikers out two stepping it with the cowboys. Everyone got along just fine. This place has become a favorite whenever I visit Casa Grande."
• "Good, satisfying meal with friendly attentive service! When you go to Casa Grande, go to The Galloping Goose!"
• "Great atmosphere. Gooseburger is the best burger in town. Also hot wings are awesome. Beer is cold great place to eat and have a drink."
• "It's ok for a beer or drink on a warm day as there is indoors and out door seating. Food is ok and service is fine. "
• "The food was fresh and delicious, the drinks were made to order and wine selection was descent, but I always bring my own favorite bottle and ask them to just charge me a cork fee."

• "Found this spot by accident and glad I did. Reminds me of a club I used to own with Rolando. Brings friends or don't you will have a great time regardless."
• "Had a great experience last night. best whiskey sour I've had in a long time. I will definitely come back again thanks to the amazing service provided by my bartender Autumn. If you haven't been here yet you're missing out."
• "First time visiting this place. Decided to visit after the recent remodel. I really like the place and the atmosphere. Sat at the bar and Autumn was my bartender. She was very friendly and knowledgable. ...I will be coming back for sure and will be recommending this place to all my friends!"
• "Went to check out the remodel. The bar looks so much better but still feels like the classic champagnes everyone knows and loves. The service was great. Our bartender Autumn was very attentive and welcoming. Would definitely recommend checking it out."
• "Your standard Vegas dirty dive bar. Decent drinks, decent prices, and a clientele that is fun to watch at 3:30 in the morning. If you want seedy, you got it. It's a fun place, and you never know who or what you're going to see in here."
• "This place is great! I have been here twice. It is a great dive bar with a fun karaoke night. I love the old school decor and the local feel. It's a nice place to spend time away from The Strip."

• "Why would they get rid of the original sign out front? It was amazing the new sign is ridiculous . I was born and raised here and hung out at this bar in the day ! Sad they got rid of something that made them unique ."
• "Post Bar Rescue. I never got here before Taffer did but post-Taffer the wall paper is peeling, the bathrooms are almost as scary as the bad Karaoke but at least the drinks are reasonable priced."

• The Bar Rescue makeover happened in March 2016.
• Here are two preview videos of the episode from the Spike TV website - Video 1, Video 2
• Here is the Champagne's Facebook Page and here is their website.  Their weekly schedule includes karaoke and comedy shows
• Here are the Facebook pages of Greg (owner), Candy (bartender), Autumn (bartender), Raleigh (bartender) and Frank Cullotta (regular). Candy also has a Facebook Page as a tattoo model that has over 10,000 likes and some racy photos. 
• Frank Cullotta has a long criminal past with crimes such as murder.  Hfsde turned into an informant who entered the witness protection program according to his Wikipedia.
• A local article said Greg Sims told Bar Rescue they couldn't change the wallpaper before signing a contract.  Another article also confirms this, and this article has over 100 comments of people discussing the bar and if it actually needed a makeover. 
• There was a fatal stabbing at the bar in 2013. (Link)
• In an interview after the makeover, Greg said he was happy they dropped the "Cafe" out of the name and Champagne's hasn't served food since 2006.  A kitchen was on his wish list, "but licensing and infrastructure issues nixed that idea. It would have taken a long time and a lot of money." The carpet also wasn't cleaned as it would have taken too long during Bar Rescue, so that is still on Greg's To-Do list. Greg also noted a lot of people miss the old sign outside.
• Greg posted this message on his Facebook Page: 

"So the trailer is out on youtube for our Bar Rescue episode this Sunday. The butterflies are definitely growing. Believe it or not, nothing in the show is scripted. They definitely pushed for the drama though. My staff definitely amped up their stories. Look for Candy to be the star of the show. She definitely knows how to stir it up. They're all pretty awesome by the way. Candy, Autumn and Raleigh really are bartenders here...no actors. Autumn got to do her very first bar shift on camera....no stress there. The entire staff is awesome and have supported me and the bar since the day I took over, and I'm eternally grateful. Thanks to Frank Cullotta for doing the show. I pushed Bar Rescue to use him, and I know they're happy I suggested it.  BTW, the show has really boosted business already due to all the local press and is doing well. They got me through the slow season in Vegas, which is brutal. Not sure that I would have made it through without them. Thanks Jon!"

• The bar received their gaming license in April 2016 according to this Facebook post. 

• "The female bartender was the best!!! She went out of her way to make sure we were enjoying ourselves."
• "Great new vibe!!! This place has been revamped into the place to go in Hemet. The new drink menu has several cool new drinks, the Jammer was my favorite!"
• "The bar looks great,love the changes! Still my favorite bar in town!"

• "To start when walking in there was an older man in probably his 80s smoking in front of the door whom I thought was a patron but after sitting at the bar for a few minutes he strolled in after finishing his smoke and was the bartender. Got warm beer and warm glasses. No music, no patrons, and after bar rescue came no changes except for paint. Oh and you can't get food until 8pm. Never again and I used to frequent that bar"

• Pretty much all of the employees of the bar are advertising the Bar Rescue watch party, so they seem happy with the makeover.
• Comments on this Facebook post seem to say the show didn't change much to the bar besides the name. This post from someone affiliated with the bar says, "the owner has put so much money into the place since the filming cause they didn't really do much!!! Since then we have spent money on all new lighting all new fans stains all the wood behind bar cause they didn't touch it, we have added all new big screens and as we speak restroom are being finished."
• Other comments on that post say the bar still has a urine smell and that the town of Hemet is what actually needs a makeover.
• Reviews for the Wheelhouse Roller Skating Rink on Yelp are not very good with complaints about it being run down (Link).  The reviews are a bit better on Google.
• Here is the Wheelhouse Roller Skating Facebook page.   The Wheelhouse also does hall rentals that can accomodate up to 500 people (Link).
• The Wheelhouse Roller Skating rink did renovations in May/June (photos and video from Facebook) and in July put up a new sign. 

• "Nicely remodeled from the former city bar. Great live music tonight, listening to Chris Heers, Hunter Sealy, JJ Bailey, and Terry Greene. Great service from the staff! Good prices on drinks. The Sahara Sunrise was delicious. The only thing missing is food service. Great locals place!"
• "I love the new renovation and the new name - The Bradley. Check out Jazz night on Mondays for some really excellent local Jazz musicians."

• Here are the Facebook pages of Brad (owner), Kim (bartender), Balinda (bartender), Megan (bartender), Elizabeth (bartender) Aaron (fetish guy).
• On July 2nd, The Bradley posted the following message announcing their closure: "To All : On June 30th, The Bradley was sold to the Sahara Lounge. To everyone that ever visited City Bar or The Bradley: Thank you for your patronage and letting us host you. To all the entertainers that ever perfomed at the bar/lounge: Your great talents were inspirational and it was a pleasure to have you perform. To everyone that ever worked at City Bar or The Bradley: Thank you for all of your efforts. I hope to see everyone out again soon, only this time as one of the customers. May peace and good times always be with you all!"
• Aaron is calling out the bar(his Facebook post was deleted) saying they knew about what was going on with the fetish nights.  They were called Tantalizing Tuesday's and they even had their own Facebook page with a URL of KinkyTuesdaysatcitybar.  They were having weekly events at the back dating back to December 2015 and here are some pictures.  Right after the makeover, Tantalizing Tuesday's posted, "Just so there is absolutely no confusion we are no longer supporting city bar or the Bradley. All of my equipment was destroyed by the owner."
• Bartender Kim said the cross Bar Rescue destroyed cost $1500 according to this Facebook post right after the makeover - "so is the $1500 of our personal property they distroyed and my job all for the sake of bar rescue. But I'll get to join you Tuesday's and I'll get a new venue"
• After The Bradley closed, bartender Megan said, "Fuck im seriously missing The Bradley. 😞 ugh i hate this!" Right around the time of filming Megan said she was 3 years clean from crystal meth, so hopefully that is still going.
• Owner Brad posted on his Facebook page, "The Bar Rescue show that was filmed at my bar wll be aired on Sunday August 21st at 9pm on Spike TV. If you are not on Pacific time, check your local listing for the time of the new episode. Note: This show pushes the edge and is not for children.....and may not be for certain adults if you feel you may have to "explain things" to them."
• Here is the Sahara Lounge Facebook page, which is the bar that replaced The Bradley after it was sold.

"It comes with a heavy heart and a huge amount of considering many options, but Tim and I have decided to close our venue. Words can not express the gratitude we have for everyone who came out and supported the restaurant and the local music scene. A lot of work went into making this place great, lots of blood sweat and tears (literally) to bring Akron a place it could be proud of. I believe we were successful at that , but at this time Tim and I are being pulled away from that focus to concentrate on our main jobs. Tim is touring more and more and I am needed at my landscape company. Both of these are very positive for Tim and I but creates a negative for the bar/restaurant. We have both agreed to sell to another person who will be more focused on creating a cool restaurant and possibly keeping the stage rocking a couple times a month. I personally will be contacting any acts we have booked to help find other venues for them to perform. Tim and I are very sorry for the inconvenience and hope everyone is understanding. Our last day for food will be September 2nd (huge party) , our last live music show will be September 3rd . LETS BLOW IT OUT!"

"Yes, all good things must come to an end!!! We hate to do this but like Micah said our main careers have just gotten way to busy ( Which is a good thing ) and that just makes it too hard on us and the business!! The Business was good, the staff was amazing, the bands rocked and the location couldn't of been better, So stop saying it wasn't and read our posts...Lets hope whoever buys it keeps, keeps the music, the great food and they have the time to put into it!!
( Even as I type this I am sitting in Seattle airport for business )
I thank you all for all the support!!
Tim Ripper Owens"

• "I heard Bar Rescue was here but what did they do other then change the sign which actually looks kinda cheesy. The place is still a dump. It's dark and just feels yucky. Food was bland, hardly anyone was in the place. The whole vibe was just negative."
• "Can we go no stars? Hope everybody found a new job. This place is odd. It's a big ass chunky cheese type area, with a. Bar in the back. Perception is it's a mismatched bar with area given. It seems dirty. Bartender is nice. It's just odd. I dunno. I heard bar rescue was here, but it's not rescued. Whatever...."
• "Bar Rescue came to help the restaurant????!!!! No way, there is no evidance this place is a mess. Bar Rescue should be ashamed to mentioned they "helped" this place. I went here for the first time on 4/22. Waitresses don't know the food or drink menu. "
• "The vibe here isn't that great either. Some of the servers seem unhappy and lost. Had high hopes for this place since this is the third time the name has changed and they were just on Bar Rescue. Hopefully they figure something out because the location is pretty cool and they have an arcade for kids and pool tables."
• "A sports bar that is clueless about sports. We walked in to watch the NCAA Final Four and it wasn't on any of their dozen + TVs. What was on? Spring training baseball, women's basketball, sportscenter. This was like the third time we had come to Celebrities to watch a major sporting event only to find the place empty and all the televisions tuned to sports highlights or something else."
• "Worst dinner I've had in a long time. My boyfriend and i came in here for the very first time on a Saturday night. The place was empty, and still our waitress managed to forget us."

• The Bar Rescue makeover happened in April 2016.
• Here are two preview videos of the episode from the Spike TV website - Video 1, Video 2
• There are actually two Celebrities Sports Grills, which are both owned by the same owners.  The one from the show is in Yucaipa and the other is in San Bernardino. 
• Here is the Celebrities Sports Grill Yucaipa Facebook Page and here is the San Bernardino Facebook Page.  Also, here is the Facebook Page with the new name The Victory Bar and Grill.
• Here are the Facebook Pages of Candice (bartender), Sabrina (bartender), and Max (owner).
• Here is the YouTube video of Max giving the homeless man a meal which went viral and has over 700k views. 
• Here is the GoFundMe page set up by Max for homeless veterans that has raised over $20,000 and is apparently still accepting donations.  I don't have any update on where the money raised has gone.
• The Victory Bar and Restaurant, which appeared on the show is now closed.  It closed sometime in June 2016, so it was only open a month or so after the Bar Rescue makeover.
• Here is a post about The Victory closing on a local Facebook Page from July that has tons of comments from locals.  There are a lot of comments with people saying they are glad and karma came back to get the bar.  Also an employee is saying she didn't get her last check and Max's wife is commenting and trying to defend the bar.  Also someone said they sent Jon Taffer a screenshot of Max blaming the show for his failure, but that post has apparently been deleted.
• This is apparently the "homeless" guy from the video that went viral.
• Here is a post on the Bar Rescue Facebook page telling them not to rescue Celebrities in Yucaipa.  The post is from Alycia, who is the person on the episode that calls out Max.  Alycia also claims Max was never a navy seal and the guy in the video wasn't homeless.
• The filtered Yelp reviews at Celebrities have negative reviews calling out Max such as, "I refuse to support a business that falsely claims to be a nonprofit organization. Nearly $20k was supposedly going to homeless veterans that has not been donated but was accepted by Max. He has also claimed to be a Navy Seal and has never served in the US military. Upon asking for his 501c3 he sent me a message calling me a "c*nt" and told me to shut up about his bar."
• Sabrina posted this about the upcoming episode, "Can't wait for it to air then die down already.... Shit is giving me anxiety .... Feels like reliving all the issues YUC had... Standing there in an empty restaurant, wondering why not a soul walked in... Only to find out some dumb shit happen earlier that day on the Internet or the night before "

• "It's a solid sports pub, great for arena pre funk. The old bar is cool as ever. AJ was an awesome server who was busting her ass running all over."
• "Wow what a place the food was amazing and the decor was amazing John taffer did a amazing job please see aubyn she is a amazing bartender"
• "First time here after remodel. I like it so far. Good place to see a game or for karaoke. Recommendations shish fine cocktail and Bao Trio. Everett rising!!!"

• "Again, not sure what lane they're trying to drive in or what audience they're targeting, but I wasn't thrilled about our visit, but I didn't hate it either. I was feeling good from the beers earlier in the night, so maybe my judgement was off."
• "This place is like giving a bar to a bunch of people who don't care. I walked in late Saturday night and couldn't get served at the bar. Mostly because no one was tending bar. "
• "Recently, they have updated it into some sort of asian fusion theme and it totally doesn't fit the area. My husband, who absolutely loved hanging out at the Ynot, refuses to return since the changes. "
• "The wings and tots are shriveled mini versions of what real food should look like, there was a brief stint before "Rescue" where they had a legit food vendor, but alas, those days are gone, and this is crap!"
• "Service sucks, food was mediocre. It took 20 minutes to get a menu, another 15 to get water and then 30 for our food. The burger was very well done and my crispy Chicken was super dry! I'm standing at the bar trying to get my check and it's taking two waitresses and I'm on 5 minutes and counting."
• "Like everyone else, came here because I heard it was remodeled and on Bar Rescue. The drink "Forsaken Fruit" was DELICIOUS. The meat on my pulled pork sliders seemed dry and burnt. And my husbands burger was overcooked and dry. Envoirment is confusing. Asian fusion? Sports bar? Country music?"
• "First time here ever. Wanted to try after Bar Rescue but was shocked at the condition of the place. You are immediately struck when you first walk in - by the musty nasty smell coming from somewhere....This place is dumpy, divey, smells really bad, mediocre service, mediocre food. Can't imagine what it was like before but I would guess the same."

• The Bar Rescue makeover happened in May 2016.
• This YNot bar has no relation to Y Not III (closed) from season 4 of Bar Rescue in Milwaukee.

• Here is the YNot Sports Pub & Grill Facebook Page and website.
• Here are the Facebook pages of Yvette (owner), Jon (owner), Alana (bartender), Aubyn (bartender).
• Right after Bar Rescue left, the bar posted this message:

"Hi everyone. I really need to get something off my chest so everyone understands whats going on.. we just went threw a dramatic change in 1 week. I believe its the best thing for us and everett. We were only a sports bar competing with all sports bars in everett ( because theres alot) i love the new name The Forbidden Pub... Why because we can now be more then just a sports bar. We still will be sports but also a nice place to come to for more then just pub food. .. were coming into a bar thats even brand new for us, we have so much to learn and organize in our new bar. All we want is to get organized, get our stuff back up, and make this our own for everyone to love as much as us. Its going to take some time to get it all together and perfect for all our customers.(new pos, put stuff back up, new employees trained to give 110% customer service!!! All i have ever wanted was a great bar,great staff,and customers who LOVE to come to our bar. So please bare with us threw our new venture we will get this perfected soon..... Thank you so much for your support "

• The goldfish races have been retired and the bar no longer has them. (Link)
• When Yvette posted a link to the Bar Rescue preview video, Alana responded, "Yvette your right it was humiliating . It makes me nauseous thinking about it. But I gotta face it head on, it definitely wasn't a fun experience at all. My family back home asks when is that show coming on. I change the subject fast. That's terrible. But I don't want them to watch it."
• In an August article, the owners said they have went back to the YNot name and they brought back menu items and re-installed the sports bar theme. 
• In a recent article that interviewed Yvette, she said:
• She defended the name for months, but no one liked the name which is why they changed it back.
• They took Bar Rescue's advice and condensed the menu and kept some cocktails.

Murphy's Law in Reno, Nevada from season 4 (3rd set) of Bar Rescue has closed.  When Jon Taffer and Bar Rescue were there, they renamed the bar to Money Bar, but the bar quickly went back to their original name of Murphy's Law.

"Hey all you guys who have been with us through all the thick and thin of Murphy's adventures, bar rescue lol, and our new friends: We will be closed temporarily while a new owner is coming in. Hopefully Monday it will reopen and look for exciting changes and some familiar faces. It is Reno lol!! Hope to see you all soon!"

"Well time for an update.. Murphy's Law is officially done in more ways then one. To all the friends and supporters I bid you well!!! As far as the new Jimmy B's coming in, I wouldn't go near that if my life depended on it!!!!! Pm me if you would like more details.My name is Maria Bedient and I support this message."

• "Great service, good food that was plentiful and good happy hour. We only wish that they had a choice of import beers on happy hour, but everything else was on point. Nice local bar!"
• "I absolutely love this place. The staff is amazing , the food is excellent. If you ever get a chance to do the party bus I highly recommend it !!!! They have a amazing steak special that I love. Great place to win good prizes . Hawks games are super fun as well."
• "We had a little 20 year get together with high school friends and it was a wonderful night. The bartenders, servers and bouncers kept complete control of the situation. The food is great. I have not had a drink there so I can not attest to that."

• "Let's just say "bar rescue" didn't rescue them. The food is good, but service has gone waaaay down within the last few years. I used to go all the time when I was 21-22 and was known by name and always had a great time, but recently it's been a lot worse."
• "Used to be amazing! They got bar rescued and now known as R.Lees. hahaha. Complete half job joke. Used to love this place, won't be back now =( ....a bar rescue failure"
• "We went into Schaffers to give them another shot after Bar Rescue. To us everything looked the same. Still had the same dirty carpet with gum stains all over, service was poor and slow....Waiter was rude and not observant unless you were at the bar or a friend..... We were unimpressed as it seems that nothing has changed. We will not be back."
• "We thought we would check out the bar since we heard it had been changed. That was the worst experience I've ever had. We will never return. Which is sad because we were regulars. We went a few weeks after the bar rescue and sat down at a table by the pool tables. With in seconds our table was covered in ants. Yes bugs where we were going to be eating. The workers did nothing when we got up and said we were leaving do to hundreds of ants on our table. It was so bad that when we got into our car to leave we had ants crawling all over our clothes. The grossest thing I have ever delt with."
• "Checked this place out a few days after the Bar Rescue renovation. Don't know what it looked like before but the lay out is pretty horrible. Looks like a before photo not the after. Customer service sucked. I didn't feel welcome at all."
• "We went to try the new bar out last night and had a terrible experience. The waitress was very nice but seemed to be too busy to help at times. The owner came to the table and then left abruptly mid conversation. The food was good but sparse. The owner returned about 30 min later and left us again abruptly to talk with people at another table. This place clearly needs another rescue judging by the way we were treated."

• The Bar Rescue makeover happened in May 2016.
• Here are two preview videos of the episode from the Spike TV website - Video 1, Video 2.
• Here is the Schafer's Facebook Page which is kept up-to-date and here is their website.
• Here is a link to more reviews on Yelp and Ryan and Nita respond to a lot of them (including the filtered ones).
• Here are the Facebook pages of Nita (owner), Ryan (owner), Jeff (former owner/bartender), Lindsay bartender), and more are below.
• Right after the makeover, owner Nita posted this on her Facebook Page:

"I would like to apologize for all the BS that Ryan and I have put all of our staff through. Jeff, Dana, Little Billie, Lindsay, and Bronson. We should have stuck to our gut when #barRescue called us the 1st time. Our answer was NO they should be called #BarFuckups cause we could have done everything they did ourselves without drama and then telling us what to say. No to mention the Half Ass job they did. I use to be a fan but going to through all this shit has made me realize I may have needed to research deeper. They say they do research to create something unique and different that people are driven to. If they did they wouldn't have made our bar the same bar as everyone els in sumner. This leads me to believe all their research is done at only bars in the area to get ideas of how to decorate. IF WE WANTED A BAR LIKE EVERYONE ELS WE WOULD HAVE CHANGED IT LONG AGO. As a bar hopper myself I prefer a variety I don't want every bar exactly the same that would be boring. I would like to send a special thank you to all the locals and regulars Who have helped us move and put shit back. Stacy your 1 in a million for all your hard work thank you Candisfuck your my Ride or Die Bitch I couldn't live without ya girl. Crystal your a fucking champ coming in to help with all the mess. For those of you I've missed I apologize. And R.Lee's was to be after our son his name is Ryder Lee. Truth be told we are still Schafer's until new signs come in and the name will be Ryder's Bar & Grill. What they gave us for a name sounds tooooo much like my ex's name. Last thing I need is him to walk in cause he would probably think the same not knowing we owned it.
Sincerely, Nita"

• Right after the makeover, the bar posted, "We are not a country bar for those who think we are. We are a sports bar but have to pick up the pieces and get back to that look."
• Someone also responded on that post saying it was Bar Rescue that called them (four times), and the show ""even had cue cards telling them what to say, they sabotaged their business , even going as far as turning their phone off. They had 20 paid actors the night of the stress test!!!"
• Also right after the makeover, the bar stated, "Yes we are still Schafers the other sign is coming down this week. We never applied to change the DBA so not sure what they were thinking & R.Lee's really not a fan."
• In a post where someone asked the bar if they were having a watch party for the show, Ryan said "Fuck bar rescue." and followed up with, "I knew those assholes would rip into Nita and I and we were prepared. But when they started making us do things against our morals and make us say and do things that aren't true that's where I draw the line. I just get defensive when people talk shit about our business when they just wanna listen to people who think they know what they are talking about. And everyone bases their opinion on the Friday/Saturday crowd."
• In another post on that thread, Ryan says, " I'm not a bartender, Dana is a rockstar, Nita isn't an alcoholic and never drinks on shift, Jeff was not trying to sabotage us and wasn't trying to get bar back, and our kitchen is not dirty and they told me to have Bronson destroy the food on purpose, and they took our bottles away so we couldn't make drinks.  All of us had meetings and as a team at the time we all decided it would have been a good thing to do to try to better the bar and we gave everyone the option to participate or not participate.  Hindsight knowing now that it wasn't what we needed to do.  I do thank the customers who have supported us through this process and said positive things and helped us get the bar back to where people feel at home and are happy."
• In an online comment posted by owner Ryan, he said the following:
• They were called by Bar Rescue and were promised an amazing makeover.
• "During my first interview I was asked how much money we are losing each month. My exact words to the producer were “what would you like me to say”. Producers response “for our story you are losing $10,000 a month and losing your house and closing down next month”. All of which isn’t true."
• "Jeff Schafer is a great man and was never trying to sabotage us at all. That was made up by bar rescue producers to create drama. The same goes for when they forced us to fire him which we hired him back immediately."
• "Their producers told us to make our kitchen dirty and to increase ticket times. I will show proof that our kitchen always gets a perfect score on our health board inspections."
• "As for Lindsey walking out, she left because bar rescue producers removed the bottles necessary to make the drinks they asked for and she was pissed off. I knew it was all an act so I acted like I knew nothing."

• "I gotta say that even though I like the drinks and that's what I'd expect to be the speciality, the food is very delicious here. I've had the fried chicken, ribs, and corn wheels and I would recommend those to anyone trying to decide what to order....The drinks go pretty well with the food too and I've had a couple I liked...I thought the service was very friendly and easy to talk to....It's got a nice neighborhood bar feel to it."
• "Why do San Franciscans avoid a neighborhood with culture and flavor? Come to this place and get amazing cocktails with a side of great food! Treasure took great care of us. Yeah, we were the only peeps of the Caucasian Persuasion in the place but the staff and patrons made us feel welcome. America and unity is alive and well in this age and for that I thank love for all and love for Sam Jordan's!"
• "Great food and good music tiffany is a great bartender my favorite and dj hype is awsome"

• The Bar Rescue makeover happened in July 2016.
• Here are two preview videos of the episode from the Spike TV website - Video 1, Video 2.
• Here is the Sam Jordan's Facebook Page.  There is also another Facebook Page for the bar which is a little less active.  They also have an Instagram page which is big on wishing people happy birthday.
• The bar did have a website, but it looks like the domain name has expired.
• Here are the Facebook pages of Ruth (owner), Vikki (bartender), and  Tiffani (bartender).
• Here are more Yelp reviews of the bar from before the makeover and they are pretty much all positive with a 4-star average.  There are a lot of compliments on the BBQ.
• In a local article a few weeks after the makeover, it was revealed that:
• Ruth Jordan wrote Bar Rescue a letter about four years ago, and they finally got the call to be on the show.
• It was a 10-day makeover that included a "modern interior, with marble walls covered in framed photos that showcase the history of the bar. New barstools and tables, complete with customized table tents displaying the food menu, have been added, as have three large flat-screen televisions for sports enthusiasts."
• Ruth said that although Jon Taffer is known for belittling people, he didn't do that with her.  She is pleased with what they did with the bar and anything else that needs to be worked on can be done themselves. 
• Here is the Landmark Designation Report for Sam Jordan's, which is about 30 pages long.  So if you want to know more information about the history of Sam Jordan's, it is all in that report. 

• "went for the bar rescue reveal- had the meat calzone. My friend had the chicken one- they looked inconsistent- hopefully once they get used to the new menu that will changeAwesome, but overpriced- had a mai tai, was god, but small for price. Shot pool. Like the table-seemed new- but I never was in the bar before. I look forward to coming for live music."
• "The female owner is really sweet (didn't meet her husband), and the drinks are great! Pretty inexpensive too. The setting of the bar leaves something to be desired though. I'm not wild about the Gilligan/tropical theme. Before the remodel it was really dark and loungey which I loved. I also liked the old sign wayyy more... I'm sad it's gone."

• "I won't be back here ever again. My first experience of this place was being on that show 'Bar Rescue'....I tried the new drinks being on the show and they were disgusting. Especially this cocoa puff milky concoction that made me want to vomit. However, to be kind I smiled and nodded at the camera as I choked it down. "
• "Awful terrible bar staff! Waited 20min just to be acknowledged by the bartender who was moving as slow as a snail....The bouncer was rude when I had asked if I had to wait in the long line again after I was already stamped and said yes you have to wait just like everyone else and then proceeds to let these two other girls just walk right in that they were friends with...I honestly love all bars and clubs but this place really was unwelcoming. I won't be coming back or encourage any of my friends to come. Definitely would have given no stars if I could."
• "The bar staff is very VERY untrained. 2 of the most popular cocktails ordered and they didn't know how to make them... A Manhattan, and a Moscow Mule.,,Wasn't busy when we were in...yet somehow took my friends 25 min to get our 2nd round....The music was way too loud for the crowd, and the building....
• So, horrible service, horrible bartenders, horrible drinks, and obnoxious atmosphere...? We won't be returning for a pregaming sesh here...ever. Maybe the newbie 21 year college students might be able to overlook all of the above for the new owners sake..."

• "Triple Nickel rules! Best dive in the springs. Great place to see live music too. And the chicken wings are great!"
• "I know FB reviews don't mean a lot but hey, if you're reading this you should definitely hit this bar if you're in the Springs. Great jukebox, great people working there, they book great bands when they come through town, the drinks are priced right, and they just got some new food going on which is stellar. do it, you won't regret it."
• "Great music and great people, what more could you ask for."

• "Your typical dive bar. The only exception is the reality show bar rescue came in and really screwed up the joint. By the time you get there, they should have all that mess fixed up."
• "All I can say is boo to bar resue..."

• The Bar Rescue makeover happened in August 2016.
• Here are two preview videos of the episode from the Spike TV website - Video 1, Video 2.
• Here is the Triple Nickel Tavern website and the Triple Nickel Facebook Page.
• Here are the Facebook Pages of JJ (owner), Sierra (bartender), Jacob (bartender/manager), Randy (bartender), Steven (bartender), Reid (bartender)
• Here is the Facebook page of JJ's band Nobody's.
• The bar has a Facebook event for the episode premiere and it seems like they are joking about what is going to happen.  The bar commented, "God I can't even take this serious. I'm on verge of laughing the whole time"
• A local blog had a post about the makeover, which pretty much said it was done poorly.  There are complaints about the cheap bar stools and the bar top finish.  It also said Triple Nickel Tavern was solicited to be on the show and they didn't call for help.
• In the comments of that article, another local bar owner said he was contacted to be on the show and went through interviews, but they would have to create drama and say they were losing money, so they decided not to do the show.
• A CS Indy article said the Triple Nickel has already removed the bar top finish and has sanded it down.  
• Here are the Yelp reviews of Triple Nickel Tavern before the Bar Rescue makeover, which are mostly positive.
• Triple Nickel Tavern was listed for sale in 2012, but I guess JJ decided not to sell.
