In Bar Rescue season 6 episode 24, titled "Dragon Lady," Jon Taffer travels to Las Vegas to rescue a struggling bar named The Dragon Lady. The bar is known for its Asian-themed decor and menu, but it has been struggling to attract customers and turn a profit.
Upon arriving at the bar, Jon is immediately struck by the lack of energy and enthusiasm among the staff. He learns that the owner, Mai, is a former showgirl who has little experience running a bar. She has invested her life savings into The Dragon Lady, but she is now on the verge of losing everything.
As Jon begins his assessment of the bar, he discovers a number of serious issues that are holding it back. The staff is poorly trained and lacks basic knowledge about drink recipes and customer service. The bar's kitchen is dirty and disorganized, and the food is unappetizing and overpriced. The decor is outdated and uninviting, and there is a general sense of disorganization and chaos throughout the bar.
Over the course of the episode, Jon works closely with Mai and her staff to transform The Dragon Lady into a successful and profitable bar. He introduces a new Asian-inspired cocktail menu and works with the bartenders to improve their drink-making skills. He also helps to clean up the kitchen and develop a new menu of delicious and affordable food options.
In addition to these operational changes, Jon also focuses on improving the atmosphere and customer experience at The Dragon Lady. He works with the staff to create a more positive and welcoming environment, and he even brings in a feng shui expert to help improve the flow of energy in the bar.
Throughout the episode, viewers will see the challenges that Jon and the staff face as they work to turn things around at The Dragon Lady. There are moments of frustration and tension, as well as moments of triumph and success. Ultimately, though, the episode ends with a transformed and revitalized bar, one that is on track to become a popular and profitable destination in Las Vegas.
