While the bar and nightclub scene is supposed to conjure images of good drinks and even better times, many of those businesses across the country are just barely managing to pay the bills, hoping for a last-chance opportunity to be rescued from certain closure. That's where John Green comes in. As a lauded bartender and the owner of a bar consulting company, John knows the ins and outs of the bar business, and on his all-new upcoming series, On the Rocks, he'll use his extensive experience to give failing bar managements the skills — both in terms of mixology and beyond — they need to pour profits.
When On the Rocks premieres Sunday, Nov. 17 at 10pm/9c, John will assess all aspects of America's most distraught bars and nightclubs by listening to their owners, scouring their billing statements, sampling their menus and evaluating their employees — all to find out why the businesses have been set up for struggle. It's then up to John and his team to rethink the bar's image and give the staff effective tools to turn around their business. The task won't be an easy one, however, as the group will have to implement substantial changes swiftly, and the owners must come to terms with working in a transformed business.
What can viewers expect from On the Rocks? Emotional breakdowns, to be sure, plus short tempers and low patience — and that's just from the bars' owners and staff. But once the scuffles settle, what remains will be a reopened bar worthy of a second chance at success.
Tune in to the premiere of On the Rocks on Sunday, Nov. 17 at 10pm/9c.
