Bar Rescue - So Yo Craft Bar (Undisputed Bar) Update

VIDEO: Of SoYo Owners talking about the changes, and they seem to be happy with all of the changes, and feel hopeful about the future of the bar

Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer were in Yonkers, New York to try to rescue the Undisputed bar. 

The Undisputed was a struggling bar, and they are serving cheap liquor poured into top shelf bottles to rip off their customers. 

During the Bar Rescue makeover, Undisputed was renamed to So Yo Craft bar, which specializes in craft cocktails, and it appears they have stuck with that name. 

Let's take a look at some information, reviews, and updates for So Yo Craft Bar since Bar Rescue came and made all of the changes to the bar:

Positive Reviews:

"You need to come to Soyo! Nice and chill atmosphere, tasty drinks. Ask for Blue! He's the man!"

"In short the location is designed very well with a great city vibe, the scampi wing are still my favorite. This bar has good food , an average city decor by Manhattan standards. A great local taste of craft cocktails in Yonkers" 

"The Main Quesadilla Burger was probably one of the best burgers I've ever had....Although it was a bit loud, we had a really good time and will definitely be coming back soon!"

"Made my way to the Soft Opening & Grand Opening. It is very upscale, the new menu is great, and The "Eclectic Blue" is the best Craft Drink on the menu. Bar Rescue did a great job with the renovations, plus Kiko & Brian (Owners) are adamant about keeping it this way. Congrats."

Negative Reviews:  

"Bartender was completely horrible. Babbled on and on about nothing, and completely forgot about the drinks she was in the process of making. It sat it a glass for 10 min In front us unfinished until she stopped flirting with the guy next to us and realized that she never finished our drinks. Food was amazing. Ordered another drink and she totally blew us off cause she was busy trying to take the guy next to us home. We complimented the chefs on our way out but will never go there again because of the horrible bartender." 

 "We sat down and ordered, and waited for our drinks and food. The Drinks came fast, but that was the only good thing. The food came, well some of it. My girlfriend didn't get to eat because not only did her food not come, but the waitress decided to NEVER COME BACK TO MY TABLE....I suggest not going there, it hasn't changed,and I really wish it would. They need new staff or they need to sell the place because Jon Taffer or not, this place is going under."
