Episode 3: “Shabby Abbey” – Don't Take The Nucleus

Not every Bar Rescue episode is pure chaos—and this one proves it. This week, we take a look at The Abbey, an Irish bar in Chicago that somehow makes being an Irish bar look…uninspired. Jonathan, Alana, Lexi, and Jess do their best to find something interesting in this rescue, but let’s be real—this one’s a slow burn. Can bad branding and lack of enthusiasm make for good television? (Spoiler: not really.)

Expect: Taffer doing his best to inject energy into the least exciting bar ever. A menu makeover that feels…fine? Will this bar actually change, or just keep sleepwalking through existence? Grab a drink (a strong one, you’ll need it), and join us as we attempt to make The Abbey more shabby.
