With “Bar Rescue,” host and seasoned bar consultant Jon Taffer has less than a week to persuade total strangers that he can fix their ailing businesses - but only if they embrace his bullying, tough-love tactics. In the hyperactive world of reality television, these makeovers are done at a breakneck pace, and the deadline element is what lends the shows their explosive conflict. Gordon Ramsay primed the pump with “Kitchen Nightmares” other variations followed, including Food Network’s “Restaurant Makeover” and “Tabatha’s Salon Takeover” on Bravo. Vicary says that Taffer saved her and that she has seen revenue nearly triple since his departure.Ĭurrently a little over halfway through its first season, “Bar Rescue” is the latest in a mini-wave of reality shows geared to helping troubled business owners in the service industry swim to financial solvency. Jon Taffer, seasoned bar consultant and “Bar Rescue” host, spent five spring days transforming Angel’s from a dingy sports bar into a classed-up whiskey den called Racks Billiards & Bourbon.

In fact, Angel’s rated so high on the dive bar Richter scale that it was featured on a new Spike TV reality show called “Bar Rescue.” Opened in 1992 by a former female wrestler named Renee Vicary, it was close to shutting down for good in this past spring.
Such was the case with a joint named Angel’s in Corona. This water is our fingerprint and signature ingredient in all Widow Jane whiskeys.If you own a bar and your customers are having trouble distinguishing it from the strip club next door, you’ve got a bit of a PR problem on your hands. The result, a self-renewing source of unique, sweet water, unusually high in mineral content and thus perfect for making and proofing great whiskey. Over years and years, rainfall filtered down, deep into underground aquifers, combining to fill the mines with pure fresh water that drew its own strength from the limestone that cradled it. These caverns that were mined over the better part of a century then laid empty for so long, their limestone now gone. This toughness made it the building material of the early 20th century, and built many of the monuments that define America.
Why this water, from these mines? Rosendale cement was world-renowned for its strength. In addition, Grand Central Terminal, the original Federal Hall in Lower Manhattan, the Washington Monument, roads across American, & parts of the White House, too, used Rosendale limestone to build their tough foundations. It was limestone from these mines in Rosendale which were used to build the foundation of some of New York’s and the country’s greatest structures: the gargantuan caissons of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building and the 27,000-ton pedestal to the Statue of Liberty. All Widow Jane whiskeys are proofed with pure limestone mineral water from the legendary Rosendale Mines of NY, just 100 miles north of our home in Red Hook, Brooklyn. When the Widow Jane team set out to produce our own whiskey, we wanted to offer something that was bold and rich with character, but most importantly had the intense taste of New York in each sip.
