Bar Rescue - Garrison Tavern (Brickhouse Bar & Grill) Update

On tonight's episode of Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer and crew are in Colorado Springs, Colorado to try to rescue Brickhouse Bar & Grill. Brickhouse Bar & Grill is owned by Jon Nicholls and his excess drinking is causing conflicts with his staff.  He is hooking up with one of the bartenders, but he also flirts with the customers which is causing drama.  The bar is supposedly $300,000 in debt and a few months from closing.

During the Bar Rescue makeover, Jon Taffer decided to change the name of Brickhouse Bar & Grill to Garrison Tavern and the bar has kept the name, however it is listed for sale.  Let's take a look at some information, reviews, and updates for Garrison Tavern since Bar Rescue came and made all of the changes to the bar (All reviews are post-Bar Rescue):

Bar Rescue - R. Lee's (Schafer's Bar & Grill) Update

On tonight's episode of Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer and crew are in Sumner, Washington to try to rescue Schafer's Bar & Grill.  Schafer's Bar & Grill was owned by Jeff Schafer and he decided to sell the bar to Ryan Burks and Nita Wyatt.  When they bought the bar, they decided to keep Jeff as a bartender and he is apparently sabotaging the business. Schafer's is supposedly $500,000 in debt and a month from closing.

During the Bar Rescue makeover, Jon Taffer decided to change the name of Schafer's Bar & Grill to R. Lee's.  The bar quickly went back to their original name of Schafer's Bar & Grill and didn't like the makeover.

Murphy's Law (Money Bar) From Bar Rescue Has Closed

Murphy's Law in Reno, Nevada from season 4 (3rd set) of Bar Rescue has closed.  When Jon Taffer and Bar Rescue were there, they renamed the bar to Money Bar, but the bar quickly went back to their original name of Murphy's Law.

On August 24th, 2016, the bar posted on Facebook:
"Hey all you guys who have been with us through all the thick and thin of Murphy's adventures, bar rescue lol, and our new friends: We will be closed temporarily while a new owner is coming in. Hopefully Monday it will reopen and look for exciting changes and some familiar faces. It is Reno lol!! Hope to see you all soon!"

Then on October 4th, 2016 the bar followed up with:
"Well time for an update.. Murphy's Law is officially done in more ways then one. To all the friends and supporters I bid you well!!! As far as the new Jimmy B's coming in, I wouldn't go near that if my life depended on it!!!!! Pm me if you would like more details.My name is Maria Bedient and I support this message."

So Maria was still involved with the bar despite Jon Taffer suggesting on the episode that she should no longer be apart of the bar.  It also looks like the sale wasn't too smooth based on Maria's message. This is the first bar from season 4(3rd set) of Bar Rescue to close and the Bar Rescue Updates Page has been updated with this information.
