8. When a bar became a resort for fruit flies.
9. When a bar used a trash can as a holder for cooking utensils:

11. When a cook used THIS to store dirty dishes.
And Jon Taffer asked the question we were all thinking:
12. When a bar used a piña colada mix that looked like sludge:

25. When a bar had a moldy coaster in its cooler:
26. When you saw this thing:
27. When a bar served Maria Menounos bugs with her drink:
And she reacted like this:
