Bar Rescue Season 7 Episode 3 titled "12 Beers a Slave" follows Jon Taffer as he attempts to rescue a struggling bar in Denver, Colorado. The episode kicks off with a glimpse of the current state of the bar, which is characterized by low sales, mediocre drinks, and a staff that lacks motivation and direction. The owner of the bar, Toni, is introduced, and it becomes apparent that her lack of experience in the industry is one of the primary factors sabotaging her establishment.

Jon Taffer arrives at the bar with his usual no-nonsense attitude, determined to turn things around. He wastes no time getting down to business, inspecting every aspect of the bar, from the quality of the drinks to the condition of the furniture. He quickly identifies several key issues that are holding Toni's bar back, including poor management, a lack of marketing, and an uninspired menu.

The first issue Jon tackles is the lack of management skills displayed by Toni, who is clearly overwhelmed by the responsibilities of running a bar. Jon decides to bring in his own consultant, Mia Mastroianni, to mentor and train Toni in the art of running a successful bar. Mia is a seasoned industry veteran with a wealth of knowledge and experience, and she quickly identifies the areas where Toni needs the most help.

With Mia working behind the scenes to transform Toni into an effective leader, Jon turns his attention to the bar itself. He recognizes that the 12 beers on tap are a weak point for the establishment, and embarks on a mission to upgrade the selection. He brings in a local craft beer expert to showcase some of the best local brews available, and engages the staff in a blind taste testing to choose the best options to add to the menu.

Meanwhile, the kitchen is also in need of a serious overhaul. Jon notices that the food options are limited and uninspired, with no real standout dishes. He brings in a chef to create a new menu that uses fresh, locally sourced ingredients and puts a modern twist on classic bar food. The result is a menu that is both approachable and exciting, with dishes that are sure to keep customers coming back for more.

Throughout the episode, Jon works closely with Toni and her staff to transform the bar into a thriving establishment. He introduces new systems and processes to streamline operations and improve efficiency, and encourages the team to take pride in their work and strive for excellence. He also helps Toni find her voice as a leader, giving her the tools and confidence she needs to take charge of her business and make it a success.

In the end, "12 Beers a Slave" is a classic example of the transformative power of Bar Rescue. By identifying and addressing the underlying issues holding Toni's bar back, Jon is able to turn it into a vibrant, successful establishment that is sure to delight customers and bring in new business. Through teamwork, dedication, and a little bit of tough love, Jon and his team have given Toni the tools she needs to take her bar to the next level.
