    You’re so right about bowling alleys. If it doesn’t look like it’s somewhere between 1975 and 1999 in there, I don’t want to be a part of it. Our local alley renovated the arcade in the front of the alley, but everything else has that retro quality. It’s owned by a former pro bowler, so I think he gets what people want, which is cheap old fashioneds in a dimly-lit wood paneled bar, cheap pitchers of beer, and giant baskets of fries.

      As an avid bowler, I am 100% in agreement. The more retro/intimate settings are always the way to go. If you like traditional alleys, stay out of any Bowlero. They're nothing but overpriced, commercialized, piss-smelling trash.

      Part of the charm of going bowling is visiting the ones that time forgot from the 70s/80s/90s. Looking around and seeing the football schedule poster for 1996, the Crazy Taxi arcade game thats been there forever, the bowling league champs picture from 1986.

    So a few things to note about this show:
    - Some of it is reenactments
    - They lump all the debt of all the owners together, so if he has a 300k mortgage that is part of that million
    - Jon gets a percentage stake in the business after the remodel

    The way John handles revamping a damn bowling alley makes me believe he only really knows how to run a specific kinda bar and can't comprehend anything unique. It's like asking your uncle to help decorate your room and he turns it into a man-cave, choosing to spend hundreds of dollars to replace the stuff you already had with things you don't enjoy. Doesn't take into account the Thea Stilton collection on the bookshelf and fills the shelf with football memorabilia against your wishes. That's just an example, totally not a personal thing I'm still salty about.

    Ha! Chris, I just watched a few videos about Bar Rescue a couple hrs ago and now you’ve also posted?! Even better than the other creators I was watching (but we can keep that between us) - love from a subscriber in California 😊

    9:56 Watching Jon rage while struggling to get out of a car and rocking back and forth in the front seat as he shuffles out is pure comedy gold.
    EDIT: If my maths is correct Jon literally only paid 1% of his debt and acted like it was a huge deal lol I mean sure it HELPS I guess but it's not the groundbreaking amount he's bigging it up to be.

    So delighted to see Bar Rescue getting covered! I was addicted to this show. There is one episode where a horse runs through a bar. Crazy show.

    Haha John passed him the envelope full of money & what we do not see off camera is him saying I will be calling for one favor when I need one 😂

    I love this channel because it gives me about 30 minutes of a burst of American TV that I absolutely cannot sit down to watch to save my life… American editing in these shows is not only all identical, but is insanely egregious. It’s all hyper-fast quick shots, cutting back and forth, always cutting back to this interview style, and my god the, “music” and sound effects are just bananas. If you cut just the soundtrack from this and played it to someone and said, “what media is this from?” You’d find most people would assume a war movie with how fast and frantic the drum beats are… good god American TV…

    Read the room. I’m not gonna go to a bowling alley and ask for an old fashioned. I’m gonna get a beer. Save the cocktail orders for cocktail bars and fancy restaurants
