Recap / Bar Rescue S 5 E 19 Bar Over Troubled Water

Go To

A huge flood in Denham Springs, Louisiana damaged the small community, including the popular Big Mike's Sports Bar & Grill. With funds running dry to repair the bar, one bartender makes a plea to Bar Rescue to help her boss's family get their business back on its feet.

Episode Tropes:

  • Earn Your Happy Ending: Big Mike's is successfully rebuilt, giving Mike and his family their business back and the community their bar back. It would survive the COVID-19 Pandemic, and as of 2023, it's still open.
  • Product Placement: Crown Royal is mentioned a lot in this episode. Not only does the company send donations out to help with the rescue, but a new drink is made with Crown Royal Vanilla, and Jon opens a new Crown Royal-themed room in the remodel.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Bartender Emily was the one who made the rescue happen by reaching out to Bar Rescue in an effort to get Big Mike's rebuilt. Jon personally thanks her for reaching out and making it all happen.
  • A Very Special Episode: Like the Bungalow Bar episode in Season 3, this rescue features Jon going out of his way to help rescue a bar that suffered from a natural disaster.
