A flyer making its way around town stated Paramount Network reality television show Bar Rescue is filming at midtown restaurant RJ’s Replays at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 10.
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 7 p.m. and sign a release acknowledging they will be on camera.
Guests from the first filming will be encouraged to return for filming at the grand reopening around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 12.
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.
RJ’s Replays is located at 5769 E. Speedway Blvd. For more information on Bar Rescue, visit paramountnetwork.com.
