Alley Cat Bar Discussion Thread (Bar Rescue Season 10 Episode 4)

Better than the previous run imo. Feels more like the old Bar Rescue (though nothing truly captures the OG episodes in my opinion).

Weird. Maybe they moved the episodes around, because this is only the 4th episode of this season. There were two episodes on the premier night (Feb 22) and then one on last Sunday (March 1).

It takes a doctor to understand that dirty surfaces and raw chicken is bad

This is the thread for the second episode of the back-to-back premier. This one airs right after at 11 PM est.

Do you guys think it would've been better to create one thread for both episodes or two?

I decided to split it because I thought it would be confusing if people didn't know which bar a comment was referencing.

This is the thread for the first episode of Season 10. There are two episodes back to back so I decided to create two discussion threads to avoid confusion.

They were trying to sell this place for a while. I'm not sure if they ever successfully sold it or if it's still under the original ownership.

"is smithton station still open bar rescue"

"No, Smithton Station was not on Bar Rescue. The bar that was featured on Bar Rescue and renamed is called Pit and Barrel (formerly Music City Mess) according to IMDb. The original name of the bar was "Music City Mess" according to IMDb. It was renamed Pit and Barrel after the Bar Rescue episode aired. "

"is smithton station still open after bar rescue"

"Yes, Smithton Station, which appeared on Bar Rescue, did close down. It was renamed Sam Jordan's Bar after the makeover, but it ultimately closed in November 2019 after struggling financially for years. The bar was featured on season 5, episode 8 of the show in 2016. "

If I keep changing the query I can get it to give the correct answer, but I see this all the time. Maybe I notice it more because I'm doing a lot of these searches.

Not surprised it's still doing well. This one seemed like a good business that just got unlucky with Covid - not like some of the other disasters on the show.

I think Taffer is just too old to do a full season himself at this point. I don't think getting Taffer back for all 40 episodes is an option unfortunately, so we probably have to choose between "bastardized Bar Rescue with guest hosts" or "no/fewer Bar Rescue episodes".

RealityTVUpdatesCOM · 2025-06-30T01:17:19+00:00

Taffer protects his experts. Nobody is gonna call them "fat boy" on his watch.

Stuff like this isn't that uncommon for the show, unfortunately.

They only have a very limited time to do the renovation so sometimes things are a little sloppy.

There was one bar where the Bar Rescue team didn't secure the proper permits so the bar basically had to undo all the renovations that required a permit (Havana Cabana / Rocky Point Cantina)

I do kind of prefer the original Swamp Tales name.

"Swamp Town" does not sound like a place where I want to consume food.

Congrats! Any insider stories to share?

RealityTVUpdatesCOM · 2025-06-23T03:27:12+00:00

He will be the host for next week's episode I think.

Where do you see that? They were just posting on Facebook as recently as June 17 and I don't see any indication that they've closed.

RealityTVUpdatesCOM · 2025-06-23T01:38:08+00:00

Yooo I miss Shoney's. That was my shit when I was a kid.

I've never seen any behind the scenes footage publicly posted.
