There is no way he really just walks into someone's bar and starts yelling at them the way he does.

I know it's scripted an all, but that's the impression they give you. And I would like to see a version where it isn't scripted and he goes into someone's bar that has contacted them for help, but has no idea when they will show up.. And he goes up to the owner and starts yelling at them. Someone would haul off an punch that dude.

With that said, I don't know if he is a fraud because thats pretty much how all reality TV shows work I guess. I wouldn't think he is anymore of a fraud as the dude on.. What's the show? Restaurant Impossible? The one with that dude who is kind of swole up and gets in people's faces..

Cool. I went there a couple weeks ago for the first time when my buddy's band was playing there. Outlaw Dave gave me biker shirt for coming by and drinking 2 dollar wells.

He did a Chalmette bar too. Don’t recall the details.


It was Desi’s and it was so corny. I go there every now and then and didn’t know it needed “rescuing”

Get in there and CLEAN IT UP GODA****!


The black bartender pretending to be Phil Lynott likely gets his share when he starts mixing drinks.

My favorite is when he brings his New York mixologists into some white trash county line bar and makes them try to teach Mandi and Codi behind the bar how to make craft cocktails.


Definitely my favorite part too

I’ve seen multiple instances of the bars he’s rescued folding within 6 months after.

The place around Southaven in MS is closed.

That is a pretty good record considering they are all failing before he gets there, coupled with the fact it is hard to keep bars open — period.
