Shore's Bar + Kitchen (Inland Tavern) - Bar Rescue Update

In this week's episode of Bar Rescue, they are in San Marcos, Florida to rescue Inland Tavern.  This is another episode where Jon Taffer is not there and Phil Wills is in charge of the rescue. During recon, they see that the bartenders cannot make basic drinks and they are not trained properly.  The owner Pete is supposedly $800,000 in debt and Inland Tavern is supposedly less than a year from having to close.

During the Bar Rescue makeover, they decided to change the name of Inland Tavern to Shore's Bar + Kitchen and the bar has kept the new name. Let's take a look at some information, reviews, and updates for Shore's Bar + Kitchen since Bar Rescue came and made all of the changes to the bar (All reviews are post-Bar Rescue):
