The Brixton in Austin, Texas which appeared on season three of Bar Rescue has closed. During their Bar Rescue episode, Jon Taffer decided to rename The Brixton to Rocket Room 6. The bar changed their name back to The Brixton and kept that name until they closed.
The Brixton closed in March 2020, and Eater reports that The Brixton co-founders Tim and Sarah Lupa sold their shares to other co-founders Tyler and Emily Brooke Van Aken. Tyler and Emily paired with other investors to open a new bar at the same location called The Low Down Lounge.
Tim and Sara Lupa were the owners featured on Bar Rescue and they also own a few other bars/cocktail lounges in Austin. The Brixton had positive reviews and stayed open for a long time after Bar Rescue visited (2013), so this seems like a case of owners moving on to other things.
The Brixton (Rocket Room 6) has now been marked as 'Closed' on the Bar Rescue Updates page.
