People lined up outside one of Orlando's newest establishments for its grand opening and ribbon cutting this week, hosted by celebrity bar expert Jon Taffer.

The "Bar Rescue" reality TV star opened the doors to Taffer's Tavern in Orlando's main entertainment and tourism district, more commonly known as I-Drive, on Wednesday afternoon.

The location is steps away from the Orange County Convention Center, countless hotels and less than a few miles from the new Universal Epic Universe.

"When I look at Orlando, to me, it's a jewel of America," Taffer told FOX Business. "The tourism, the international impact we have, the amount of foreign dollars and tourists that come in. We represent a piece of America here to the world. So being a part of a destination like this is very rewarding."
