Marley's Beach Club From Bar Rescue Has Closed

Marley's Beach Club, which was featured on season 3 of Bar Rescue has closed as of November 17th.  The bar was originally called Marley's On The Beach, and Bar Rescue changed the name to St. Michelle's Beach Club.  The owners did not like the name, so compromised and went with a combination of the names by calling their bar Marley's Beach Club.

Marley's posted the following message on their Facebook page on November 12th:
"First I would like thank everyone for a great season. This season was our best season filled with fun days, great nights and crazy experiences. Over the past three years I have met so many great people and had the pleasure to work with my amazing staff who I consider more like family and friends. It was getting better each year and I have no doubt would continue to do so but I decided for personal reasons and what I believe is best for my family to not go through another season. This has been a very hard decision for me. I will forever have great memories of my time at Marley’s and will miss it dearly. This will be our last weekend at Marley’s so come by and visit!! Again thank you! Michelle"

NBC Los Angeles is reporting that last night, a man in his 30's was fatally shot behind Second Base Bar and Grill in Orange, California.  There was apparently a fight in the parking lot behind the bar and a Hispanic male was fatally shot.  The suspect fled in a white car or SUV before police arrived.

The Second Base Bar and Grill (originally named Extremes) was on season 2 of Bar Rescue and the reviews of the bar haven't been too great lately.  This incident probably will not help things too much.

On tonight's episode of Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer and crew are headed to Murfreesboro, Tennessee to rescue M T Bottle.  M T Bottle stands for Middle Tennessee Bottle, and if you say it fast, it sounds like "empty bottle".  The M T Bottle is a taproom with 'risque bartenders' who 'flash their boobs'  and has customers bringing in their own booze to the bar.  During the Bar Rescue makeover, the name went from M T Bottle to M T Bottles and Cans.

Let's take a look at some information, reviews, and updates of M T Bottles and Cans since Bar Rescue came and made all of the changes to the bar.
