Wills, working under the broader Bar Rescue banner led by Jon Taffer, will implement strategies to overhaul the venue. The series typically addresses multiple operational facets, from menu and service to overall management, in its efforts to revitalize struggling bars. This episode will track Wills’ attempt to save both the business and the owners’ personal connection.
