SPIKE TV's "Bar Rescue" tackles another Milwaukee bar! This time, Packy's Pub on South Howell

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- SPIKE TV's "Bar Rescue" transformed Y-Not III on Milwaukee's East Side into a '70s-themed establishment called "Nick's House," and then came back to Milwaukee to work on an Irish Pub on South Howell Avenue in Milwaukee.

The episode featuring "Packy's Pub" will air on Sunday, December 14th at 8:00 p.m.



SPIKE TV says when "Bar Rescue" consultant Jon Taffer arrives at Packy's, he notices the struggling Irish pub has more problems than just losing touch with its Irish identity.

In the episode, Taffer works to turn around the bar's issues with a drunk server and a failure to pay employees.

Taffer transforms "Packy's Pub into "Campbell's Irish Pub."

The pub is located at 4068 South Howell Avenue in Milwaukee. It opens at 3:00 p.m.

“Bar Rescue” features world-renowned bar and nightlife expert, Jon Taffer, as he gives failing establishments one last shot at success. Spike TV’s original series follows Taffer as he wields his three decades of experience in the restaurant, bar and nightclub business to help give failing bars nationwide one last chance to transform themselves into profitable businesses.
