Bar Rescue - The Regan Lounge (Jack's Place) Update

On tonight's episode of Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer and crew are in Las Vegas, Nevada to try to rescue Jack's Place. Jack's Place is supposedly $500,000 in debt and the bartenders do not respect the owner.  She is acting more like a maternal figure than a business owner and it is costing her business.

During the Bar Rescue makeover, Jon Taffer changed the name of Jack's Place to The Regan Lounge and the bar has kept the name. Let's take a look at some information, reviews, and updates for The Regan Lounge since Bar Rescue came and made all of the changes to the bar (All reviews are post-Bar Rescue):



Reviews (only 1 review since the makeover):

  • "Newly renovated interior gives this place a new and modern look. Nicest looking interior on the east side of Las Vegas. Friendly atmosphere gives this place a good place to stop for a refreshing drink and to relax."


Other News and Links:

  • The Bar Rescue makeover happened in February 2017.
  • Here are two preview videos of the episode from the Spike TV website - Video 1, Video 2
  • Here is The Regan Lounge Facebook Page, which only has 2 posts.
  • Here is Corinne's Facebook Page, which has the title of Jack's Place (Regan Lounge). She also doesn't post much.
  • Here are the Facebook pages of Caryn (manager), Ernie (bartender), Jonathan (bartender)
  • Here are some pictures taken from someone who was at the filming of the Bar Rescue makeover. 
  • The business description on Yelp states, "We have a fantastic drink menu with friendly bartenders and an inviting atmosphere."
  • There is a Bruce Wagner that is also listed as an owner of the bar with Corinne. (Link)
  • There is a Regan Lounge App, where the bar offers discounts. There is a fan wall on it, which just has a few employees posting positive remarks. (Link)
  • Regan Lounge seems to be doing karaoke on Saturday nights. (Link)
  • If you call the bar, they answer with "Regan Lounge," so they have kept the name.


Conclusion:

The Regan Lounge has kept the name of the bar since Bar Rescue left, but there isn't too much information out there for the bar.  There is only 1 review for Regan Lounge, the bar doesn't have a website, and they are not active on social media (despite having an app for the bar).  To take advantage of the publicity Bar Rescue brings, the bar should probably get a website or become more active on social media.  I will update this post if there is any additional information for the bar after the episode airs.  The update at the end of the show said Caryn was fired after the show and Ernie received a raise.

UPDATE 9/2017 - The was an extensive fire at Regan Lounge and the bar is currently closed - Information on the fire.
