Je�eli chodzi o Zbigniewa Grycana, Zielon� Budk� i artyku� z Polityki, to ja obstawiam "baty" = znowu straci finansowo.
The only other meaning I can think of is that X is to regain the bars (i.e. on-premise outlets) (sold earlier to competitors), but IMO it is a typo. Let's wait and see what others say... :)
