Another Tucson flyer is making its way around announcing Paramount Network reality television show Bar Rescue is looking for customers to appear on camera. This time, filming will be at southwest Tucson bar the Original Hideout from 1:15 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, May 16.
Filming will be for the “stress test,” where the show packs the restaurant full of customers to find out what the restaurants need the most help with for training. Anyone who wants to be on the show is encouraged to show up for the filming at 1:15 p.m. and sign a release acknowledging they will be on camera. The reveal of the renovated bar will be on Friday, May 18 at 10 p.m.
The previous filming last week at RJ’s Replays attracted a long line of fans, so make sure to bring water.
No official air dates have been announced.
Bar Rescue stars food and beverage industry consultant Jon Taffer, who provides expertise, equipment, and renovations to desperately failing bars. The show has been on air since 2011.
The Original Hideout is located at 3000 S. Mission Rd. For more information on Bar Rescue, visit paramountnetwork.com.
