‘Bar Rescue’ Reveals “Dirty Truth” About The Dugout, Chicago’s Wrigleyville Press Box
During Season 5 of the reality TV series
Jon Taffer traveled to Chicago to check out
The Dugout, a bar near Wrigley Field where the Chicago Cubs MLB team plays. Taffer refurbished and rebranded the place
Press Box but in the final scene of the episode, Taffer walked off the show after complaining about the owner of the Wrigleyville bar, Ed Cressy. “I can’t endorse you,” Taffer tells Cressy in the clip below.
After filming the show, Cressy told
Bar Rescue experience was “a complete nightmare” and claimed he “had to redo all the things that Jon did wrong” including that “quick paint job that looked good on camera, but (he) used really cheap paint that flakes off.” Cressy also claimed the ham sandwich that Taffer and his crew introduced at the Press Box “bombed.”
