You’re so right about bowling alleys. If it doesn’t look like it’s somewhere between 1975 and 1999 in there, I don’t want to be a part of it. Our local alley renovated the arcade in the front of the alley, but everything else has that retro quality. It’s owned by a former pro bowler, so I think he gets what people want, which is cheap old fashioneds in a dimly-lit wood paneled bar, cheap pitchers of beer, and giant baskets of fries.

Except for all the “Back to the Bar” episodes where he revisits them later, or “Kitchen Nightmares: Revisited” where Ramsay visits them later.

Gordon Ramsey at least comes in pretty chill and progressively gets angry. John pegs his rage meter in the parking lot and comes in the door asking the staff to name call the owner.

The way John handles revamping a damn bowling alley makes me believe he only really knows how to run a specific kinda bar and can't comprehend anything unique. It's like asking your uncle to help decorate your room and he turns it into a man-cave, choosing to spend hundreds of dollars to replace the stuff you already had with things you don't enjoy. Doesn't take into account the Thea Stilton collection on the bookshelf and fills the shelf with football memorabilia against your wishes. That's just an example, totally not a personal thing I'm still salty about.

John comes across as an angry gorilla when his head turns sideways and he starts to berate the bar people.

One time I watched a bar rescue episode and the place had mushrooms growing on the walls and that led me to have a fear of mushrooms growing on my walls so I literally used to clean my walls

You don't need to clean them, just keep them dry

Oh god you gotta watch the Oasis Hookah Bar episode filmed in Omaha lol

You aren’t wrong. I want the greasiest, most deep fried food I’ve ever had when going to a bowling alley 😂 napkins do exist, I can just wipe my hands lol

“You don’t know how i need you” 🤣🤣🤣

Ive been waiting for you to cover this show! So happy rn.

Mike and John - Broke Back Mountain 2.. the greatest love story we never knew we needed... or wanted!

Hey Chris! I’ve been having AWFUL night terrors. I wake up feeling like I’m fighting for my life. Anyways, watching your video really helped calm me down. The sense of humor was on point. Thanks for making my day a lot better dude. Keep making the world a better place big bro.

Your commentary Chris, literally has me laughing so much, I have tears in my eyes. I have been watching your channel for some time now. And I have to say this has been my favorite content you have done. Thank you sir!!!

Ha! Chris, I just watched a few videos about Bar Rescue a couple hrs ago and now you’ve also posted?! Even better than the other creators I was watching (but we can keep that between us) - love from a subscriber in California 😊

This is the earliest I’ve been to a Chris James video drop 😭

this has been one of my favorite episodes of yours. PLZ MORE BAR RESCUE

So happy I ran across this channel. Definitely one of my new favorites

This is awesome, to see this and the re-upload of Doomsday preppers in the same day was quite a treat! Chris you freaking rock !!!

Jon is one of the most intense human beings on this planet and I can't help but admire it. Dude comes in like a raging bull and ends up actually being their saving grace, it's amazing

Unless the bar is gimmicky. He then destroys the entire thing and makes it super disgustingly corporate. He probably would have done it here if it wouldn't have cost a fortune to destroy the bowling alley and turn it into a corporate ass bar If the bar is just tryna be a bar, he helps them with their vision. If the bar is at all in anyway gimmicky or whimsical, he makes it his mission to turn it into a corporate hang out

I recently binged the last couple seasons. Glad to see you do this. Hope to see more.

I definitely lost my composure when he asked her if not working at the bowling alley broke her heart, you can tell that was soul crushing and her demeanor changed

I have never heard of one single bowling alley that serves food or drinks, except for the occasional soda vending machine or slushie bar. Mixing grease and alcohol with bowling balls sounds like a terrible idea, and multiple accidents waiting to happen Just Murrikan things, I suppose

Growing up, our local big ball bowling alley had a full sit down bar in an enclosed area in back with a Karaoke stage. It served all kinds of pub food and sandwiches. I think the candlepin bowling alley only had a snack bar with drinks and munchies. (edit: candlepin, not candlestick.)

Read the room. I’m not gonna go to a bowling alley and ask for an old fashioned. I’m gonna get a beer. Save the cocktail orders for cocktail bars and fancy restaurants

I love how of all the cool things he's got in this absolutely stellar bowling alley setup AND the newly designed stuff for the show, my guy Mike gives an "Oh waow!" to a literal light bulb @27:49

Holy shit I remember this bowling alley was cool sad to see gone lol

I loooove Bar Rescue. Watching John Taffer lay into idiots was a favored past time for me for a while. If you haven't see it, watch the pirate bar episode Yo Ho-Ho and a Bottle of Dumb. It was one of my favorites and the most baffling.

When they set everything on fire at the end 😐

That’s a rough watch. Great stuff as always brother, love your style. Keep it up for the rest of us Pal.

I love this channel because it gives me about 30 minutes of a burst of American TV that I absolutely cannot sit down to watch to save my life… American editing in these shows is not only all identical, but is insanely egregious. It’s all hyper-fast quick shots, cutting back and forth, always cutting back to this interview style, and my god the, “music” and sound effects are just bananas. If you cut just the soundtrack from this and played it to someone and said, “what media is this from?” You’d find most people would assume a war movie with how fast and frantic the drum beats are… good god American TV…
