From the press release from Paramount, "One of the best parts of my job is hugging bar owners at the end of each episode and seeing them embrace a fresh start for their business—and their lives.  For over a decade, we’ve empowered bar owners, employees, and their communities to rediscover their potential. This milestone reflects the dedication, passion, and resilience of everyone involved. I am profoundly grateful to Paramount Network for being an unwavering partner in this journey and for giving us the platform to continue transforming struggling businesses into inspiring success stories."

A preview video of the upcoming season can be seen here. 

Also announced in the press release was the renewal of Bar Rescue for a 10th season, so there will be even more new episodes coming in the future. It remains to be seen if Jon Taffer will do all the rescues, but judging by the preview, it seems he will have other experts doing some rescues again this season.

As always, I will have updates for each of the bars that appear on the show, so make sure to visit the website after each episode airs.

Midtown Pub (Coaches Pub) - Bar Rescue Update

In this week's episode of Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer and crew are in Houston, Texas to rescue Coaches Pub.  The bar doesn't maintain standards and cannot make basic drinks properly.  The kitchen is a mess, there are fruit flies in the bar, and the owner is drinking while at the bar.  The owner Robbie is supposedly $230,000 in debt and the bar is supposedly months away from closing.

During the Bar Rescue makeover, Jon Taffer decided to change the name of Coaches Pub to Midtown Pub Steak & Sports and the bar has kept the name.

Kingwood Neapolitan Kitchen & Bar (Nico's Bar & Grill) - Bar Rescue Update

In this week's episode of Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer and crew are in Kingwood, Texas to rescue Nico's Bar & Grill.  The owners have neglected both the bar and the staff over the years. While Jon is doing recon, he finds the owners hanging out at the bar and drinking.  If they want Jon to makeover their bar, they will have to stop drinking or he will leave.  The bar also doesn't have a cocktail menu and the tables are wobbly and sticky.

During recon, they find that the bartenders cannot make basic drinks such as an Old Fashioned and have to Google recipes.  The owners have no experience in operations, design, or service, so Dustin will have to teach them these skills in hopes of turning the bar around.

In this week's episode of Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer and crew are in Margate, Florida to rescue Gerri's Sports Pub.  Gerri's Sports Pub is a dive bar and during recon the team thinks its way to dirty even for a dive bar.  The bar allows smoking and everything in the bar is stained yellow from the smoke.  Despite being a sports bar, the TV's for showing games are way too small.  The bar is supposedly losing $2,000 a month and in danger of closing before it can be passed down to family.

During the Bar Rescue makeover, Jon Taffer decided to slightly change the name of Gerri's Sports Pub to Jerzy's Sports Pub, but it seems they still use the name Gerri's Sports Pub.
