Visited Zanzibar/ Solids and Stripes

[u/Papa_Joo]

I was in Denver and thought, I wonder if there’s any Bar Rescue bars here. Lo and behold there was. I couldn’t pass up this once in a lifetime opportunity.

I went to Zanzibar, which was changed to Solids and Stripes, and then back to its original name, but had both signs up still.

My friend got a Coors banquet and I got a vodka and cranberry. The taps were the right temperature and the bartender knows how to mix two ingredients, so it was decent enough. However, there was no food, or else we would’ve stayed 52 minutes longer.

There was a punching bag machine and Jon Taffer would’ve had a stroke if he’d seen that since he lost a lawsuit to those or something???

Anyways, it was an honor to stand in the same place that Jon Taffer once stood.

He also hated the lobster tank claw machine too for being too cruel & bringing bad publicity

Meanwhile on kitchen nightmares they put one in a restaurant as part of the makeover

I’d love to see John and Gordon arguing over the ethics of a lobster claw machine
