Jon Taffer is the Gordon Ramsay of the bar and nightclub business. In each episode of this series, Taffer helps transform a struggling bar into a vibrant, profitable business, utilizing his expertise as a nightlife consultant who has started, flipped or owned more than 600 bars and clubs in his career. From the height of the bar stools and the science of the perfect pour to the effect the tempo of the music has on alcohol consumption, Taffer delves into every facet of the business, and he does it with a no-holds-barred style. He's assisted by his wife, Nicole -- who enters establishments under cover to help diagnose the problems -- along with a rotating cast of experts that include a celebrity chef, a Master of Whisky and a mixologist.

An apathetic owner would rather vape in the corner than engage with the customers at her own bar; can Taffer turn the situation around before the entire business goes up in smoke?

Jon has to turn up the volume to get the message through to two brothers who have opened up a death metal bar that is swallowing their parents' retirement fund.

A philandering, sexist bar owner, who tells female customers to take their tops off, leaves Jon uncertain whether he really wants to save Mary's Outpost in Grand Prairie, Texas.

Jon travels to Country Club Hills near Chicago to try to turn around a sports bar with all the atmosphere of a graveyard; this is largely due to an excess of managers with no respect for the owner.
