I'd never heard of this show until i read this thread, i'm not sure it even plays here, but i had the felling it was going to be just like Gordon Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares but about bars, not restaurants. And i was right, although no matter how much of a wanker Gordon Ramsey can be there is also something about him that makes him some what likeable, that Jon Taffer guy though, WOW, what a complete knob.

I understand and agree that having a theme bar might limit your clientele however the biggest problem with that place was the food and drinks more than anything. What he turned it into was a soulless generic bar like a million others. Even if i was a business man myself there would be no way i would even consider going to a place called 'The Corporate Bar'. You go to a bar to unwind, not somewhere that just seems like an extension of the office.

I agree with TikiHardBop, imagine being a bar owner and told you need to stock commercially-made ice balls. I think you'd tell him to $%#@ off straight away.
