But fear not, fellow fans of dramatic makeovers and Taffer's glorious vocabulary, because Bar Rescue has indeed ventured into the heart of Duval County.
So, which Jacksonville bar went from dive to divine?
Here's the lowdown:
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
- Wildcats Wild Collapse: This episode, which aired in Season 9 (because apparently, even wildcats can have meltdowns), featured a bar struggling with an identity crisis that would make Hamlet himself scratch his head. Lack of leadership, a menu that belonged in a museum of mystery meats, and an atmosphere that could best be described as "confused basement" all contributed to this wildcat's woes.

- Jacksonville actually has two claims to Bar Rescue fame. There was also an episode featuring a sports bar with a name so bad it repelled customers like garlic repels vampires. Thankfully, Jon Taffer came in with the holy water of rebranding!
- Spoiler alert (kind of): Both bars got makeovers, including snazzy new names. But did they stay that way? That's the mystery only a dedicated internet search or a follow-up episode can solve!
