Jon Taffer heads to Milwaukee on this Sunday’s Bar Rescue, ready to tackle a failing business—and the family feud that’s fueling its downfall. Airing at 10 PM ET on Paramount Network, Tropical Storm (Season 9, Episode 36) finds Taffer facing a perfect storm of bad management, strained relationships, and a ticking clock.
The bar owner’s pregnant daughter, a key player in the business, is at odds with her mother, creating a toxic environment that’s impacting both the bottom line and their personal lives. Taffer, as usual, pulls no punches in his assessment, evaluating every aspect of the bar, from its outdated decor and lackluster menu to the dysfunctional team behind the counter.
The episode’s core challenge lies in untangling the emotional knots between mother and daughter—a conflict that’s as much about family legacy as it is about financial survival. Taffer’s intervention will require more than just business acumen; he’ll need to act as mediator and mentor to get this family, and their bar, back on track.
