Dr. Philgoods Laboratory Bar & Grill (Dr. Philgoods Sports Bar) - Bar Rescue Update

In this week's episode of Bar Rescue, which is the 250th episode, Jon Taffer and crew are in Pompano Beach, Florida to rescue Dr. Philgoods Sports Bar.  The bar is owned by Carl Johnson and they do not even have a drink menu available during recon.  The bartenders also cannot make standard drinks such as an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan.


During the Bar Rescue makeover, Jon Taffer decided to slightly change the name of Dr. Philgoods Sports Bar to Dr. Philgoods Laboratory Bar & Grill. It seems they mostly use "Dr. Philgoods" but they seemed to have gone back to Dr. Philgoods Sports Bar.
