Ep 2. Rock N Roaches

In Bar Rescue season 3 episode 2, titled "Rock N Roaches," bar expert Jon Taffer heads to Las Vegas to help save a struggling music bar called The Bunkhouse Saloon. The bar is run by owners Richard and Lisa, who are both passionate about live music but have been struggling to keep the business afloat.

Upon arrival, Taffer finds that the bar is in a state of disrepair, with a dirty stage, outdated decor, and a kitchen that has roaches crawling around. The staff is inexperienced and uninterested in providing good service, and the bar is losing money every night.

Taffer first tries to address the roach problem by calling in an exterminator and shutting down the kitchen until it can be completely cleaned and sanitized. He then turns his attention to the staff, firing several employees who are not up to par and bringing in new bartenders and a bar-back to help keep things running smoothly.

Taffer also works to reinvigorate the bar's live music scene by bringing in local bands and promoting the bar as a destination for music lovers. He redesigns the stage area to better showcase the musicians and updates the decor to create a more modern and welcoming atmosphere.

Throughout the episode, Taffer faces resistance from Richard, who is hesitant to make the changes necessary to turn the bar around. However, Taffer persists, using his expertise and experience to convince Richard that the changes are critical to saving the business.

In the end, Taffer's efforts pay off, and The Bunkhouse Saloon is transformed into a successful music venue that is once again drawing in crowds every night. Richard and Lisa are thrilled with the results and grateful for Taffer's help in rescuing their business.
