re: John Taffer- Inventor of the Butt Funnel

He was also on Hotel Impossible. He's no better on the hotel side. They still had room keys.

Pirate episode is a classic. Those people were nuts. But naming the place corporate bar was a total slap in the face to the "pirates."

I think we all agree that naming it corporate was a terrible idea

But then again, you could have named itd "We served shite for food" and probably got more business than the pirate bar.

If i werethe show id be asking for the 50-100k they just dropped on the building back

The employees being all empowered over the "soul" of the place was laughable.

Probably sounds more interesting if you tell people its on Bourbon

I kind of figured that was bullshite because theres no way he could even get off the ground building a replica bar like 30 feet away from Tropical isle

Quick google shows its about 2-3 blocks from Tropical Isle

Do I even want ot know what a Butt Funnel is?

Its apparently a railing in a bar that they put close enough to a wall so that people have to turn sideways to get through which is supposed to create interaction between two people



Where he got the name butt funnel from, idk. He must have invented it in a bar in Tennessee

Surprisingly thats the first person here to say anything about the Butt funnel

This is pretty legit

Once the cameras stopped rolling, "Bar Rescue" still worked with Bohannan. For example, Bohannan thought the original barstools provided by the show weren't sturdy enough to withstand the demands of Bourbon Street rowdiness.

"The stuff that they messed up on, they could have walked away but they came through and fixed it," he said. "They brought their credit card and fixed it."

So the question is, does "Spirits" still exist? Nothing comes up under that name and Turtle Bay still lists two locations

Spirits name and concept was way better than Turtle bay but the owners could have put it back to turtle bay

One question I have always had is how far in advance do they plot out the new names and themes?

The reason I ask, is for the bars that he changes the names, legally they would have to file paperwork and such with the city/state way in advance...

They claim they do it all in 3 days

Also, you think that its just a team of 5-10, but its over 50 people.
