Jon Taffer, the ever-agitated host of reality series Bar Rescue, will open his full-service restaurant, Taffer’s Tavern, in Orlando in October.
The Orlando outpost, which will be the chain’s very first Florida spot, opens Wednesday, Oct. 15 at 3 p.m. in the tourist corridor with a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Located on I-Drive, the new spot is intended to serve as the brand’s blueprint for national expansion and was first announced last year.
Taffer’s will serve up elevated comfort food and tavern classics, with menu items ranging from starters to small plates and entrees, plus cocktails. Menu highlights include the Bourbon Burger, Hangover Wings and the Whiskey Business Burger.
Taffer’s Browned Butter Bourbon is incorporated into several dishes and beverages available at the restaurant. The bourbon was inspired by an episode of Bar Rescue and has become the foundation of Taffer’s cocktail program.
Bar Rescue, a Paramount Network reality series, follows Taffer through nine seasons as he brings his business and restaurant expertise — and shouting, plenty of shouting — to help rejuvenate failing bars and nightclubs across the country. Bar Rescue has even infamously tackled local spots like Copper Rocket in Maitland, Game Room & Social Club in downtown Orlando and Rockin’ Rhonda’s Lounge and Throwbacks in Sanford.
Taffer’s Tavern first location opened in Atlanta in October 2020. There are now locations in Georgia and Washington, D.C., with upcoming locations planned for Gainesville, Las Vegas and Savannah, Georgia.
