During Sunday’s episode, titled Hard Heads and Softballs, Taffer is challenged to settle the score between two feuding bar owners – Scott Mack and Todd Chester. The feud has literally split the bar in half. On top of that, Mack has one foot out the door and Chester’s antics are putting his marriage in serious jeopardy.

Just another day at work for Taffer and crew.

Mac & Chester’s SRO was rescued back in early October, 2015. Taffer is well known for rebranding bars that he rescues, and in most cases that rebranding includes a name change. With its biker bar reputation, Taffer followed that rule with Mac & Chester’s SRO, officially renaming the bar the Boulder Lodge Bar & Grill.

You can check out the Boulder Lodge website for news, updates, and menu info. The bar also has a fairly active Facebook page that appears to indicate the bar is doing well since the rescue.

On May 7, the Boulder Lodge will be hosting the third annual Dirty Rotten Bikerfest, a Mid-West old style biker rally.

We usually like to include a taste of public reviews as part of our Bar Rescue episode preview, but in this case, only a few outdated reviews were available, so we decided to take a pass.

We’re also including some Facebook and Instagram posts in our episode preview to give readers a feel for the Bar Rescue makeover results.

Please take note that some of the Facebook posts require users to be logged into Facebook to view.

Here’s a look at bar owner Todd Chester and his wife Elise Chester with Bar Rescue’s Mixology Expert Mia Mastroianni and bar industry expert Phil Wills.
