VFW Post 10054 Pahrump - Bar Rescue Update

In this week's episode of Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer and crew are in Pahrump, Nevada to rescue VFW Post 10054.  VFW Post 10054 opened in 1979 and is a staple in the community for the veterans that go there and for the locals who go there to gamble.  Marty Aguiar is the post commander and says the pandemic has had a big impact on the VFW Post.  Also, his wife is facing a battle with cancer and he will soon have to step aside to help her. With the amount of visitors down, the VFW Post is wondering if they will be able to stay open. 

During the Bar Rescue makeover, Jon Taffer obviously kept the name of VFW Post 10054.  Let's take a look at some information, reviews, and updates for VFW Post 10054 since Bar Rescue came and made all of the changes to the bar (All reviews are post-Bar Rescue):





Positive Reviews:

• "Friendly. Great Sunday breakfast! The steak was tender and had a great favor! Eggs were perfect! Breakfast also included O'Brien potatoes with gravy and toast.... all for $9!!!!! REALLT tasty!!"
• "Good was good. The staff was great. Breakfast for two was $15 total. Threw on two Bloody Mary's from the bar for $2.25 each. Really nice deal for under $20. The only negative was that it really smoky in both sides (bar side and food service side). Would have liked to hang for a bit, but the smoke was too much. Maybe if outside is an option later in the season it might be better."
• "The Post is great! Anyone and everyone is welcome here! it was taco tuesday, met the Post Commander! Stop in and enjoy yourself!"

Negative Reviews:

• None

The Vfw Clyde Newman Post 10054, located at 4651 Homestead, here in Pahrump, was the recipient of a very large makeover courtesy of the television series, "Bar Rescue", Jon Taffer, and 3 Ball Productions. It was an Amazing Experience,  Jon and his team made it fun and exciting.  Many those involved who worked long hours. It was literally 10-12 hour days plus working or doing our daily routines. We will reopen today at 3 PM and welcome anyone that wants to come and see all the improvements. We are season 8 Episode 8 and we have no idea when it is going to air.  So you all have to wait to see us make an fools out of ourselves on national TV.  It was amazing to work with the Bar B Que King “Kevin Bledso” and the amazing, talented and funny, celebrity-bartender “Alex Goode”. Thanks again to all of you. HUGE thanks to the whole team of volunteers who helped all week, and especially to our Post Commander, Marty Aguiar, for championing the post to the producers. See you there!"
