Bar Rescue filming at St. Augustine bar off U.S. 1

This is the second spotting of the popular show filming on the First Coast.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — A bar off of U.S. 1 is newest business to get the Bar Rescue treatment, Arnold's Lounge confirmed Thursday.

 It's the second in as many months, after Bay Street Bar & Grille had Jon Taffer and Co. filming in downtown Jacksonville.

Owners of Arnold's Lounge, 3912 N. Ponce De Leon Blvd., tell First Coast News that Bar Rescue is taping there and they are planning on reopening Friday, but a time is not set.

Episodes involve Taffer, a longtime restaurant consultant, implementing numerous changes a bar needs such as training staff, installing a new menu or renovating the interior. The episodes feature an epilogue on how the bar fared.

The eighth season of the popular show finished airing in June. According to host Jon Taffer, the show began production for its ninth season last year.
