In Bar Rescue's eighth season, episode seven, titled "Listen Y'all it's Sabotage," host Jon Taffer travels to Jackson, Mississippi to help a struggling bar named Julep (formerly known as Martin's Lounge). The bar has been owned and operated by two long-time friends, Keith and Kevin, for almost 20 years. However, their business has been declining in recent years and they are now in danger of losing everything they have worked for.

Upon his arrival, Jon discovers that the bar is in a state of disarray. The interior is outdated and dirty, and the outside lacks curb appeal. The bartenders are untrained, the kitchen is unsanitary, and the alcohol inventory is poorly managed. The staff is unprofessional and often engages in arguments in front of customers.

Throughout the episode, Jon works with the owners and staff to address these issues and turn the bar around. He first addresses the poor management of the bar's inventory and introduces a new system for tracking alcohol sales. He also trains the bartenders on how to make proper cocktails and interact with customers in a more positive manner.

Jon also addresses the issues in the kitchen, which is found to be dirty and lacking basic hygiene practices. He enlists the help of a food safety expert to educate the staff on proper handling and storage of food.

In addition to renovating the bar's interior and exterior, Jon also works with the owners to create a new menu featuring Southern-inspired cuisine and signature cocktails. The new menu and bar design aim to attract a younger crowd and reinvigorate interest in the bar.

However, as Jon and the staff work towards the grand re-opening, they encounter unexpected challenges. While renovating the bar's exterior, they discover that the building's foundation is unstable, requiring immediate repair. Additionally, one of the staff members is found to be sabotaging their efforts, compromising the success of their grand re-opening.

Overall, "Listen Y'all it's Sabotage" is a tense and dramatic episode in which Jon Taffer works to turn around a bar that has been neglected for too long. Through his expertise in restaurant and bar management, Jon is able to transform Julep into a new and improved establishment, ready to attract a new generation of customers.
