In this week's episode of Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer and crew are in Fountain Hills, Arizona to rescue Hogwash Saloon. In February 2023, Jason Reinke decided to buy the bar he was patronizing for years. Now that he is the owner, he is still acting like a patron and doesn't know how to run the bar. Hogwash Saloon is supposedly losing $3,000 a month and Jason is in danger of losing the bar and his friends.
During the Bar Rescue makeover, Jon Taffer decided to change the name of Hogwash Saloon to Skybox Ultra Sports Lounge and the bar has kept the name. Let's take a look at some information, reviews, and updates for Skybox Ultra Sports Lounge since Bar Rescue came and made all of the changes to the bar (All reviews are post-Bar Rescue):Reviews:
- There were only 2 reviews since the makeover and they both didn't provide any text. One was a 2-star review and the other was a 3-star review.

Conclusion:
Jon Taffer decided to change the name of Hogwash Saloon to Skybox Ultra Sports Lounge and the bar has kept the name. It seems the bar is more of a dive bar and they do not offer any food. This is probably the reason why they do not have any reviews online, which makes it hard to see how they are doing. The fact that there aren't reviews months after a Bar Rescue visit doesn't seem too promising. Skybox Ultra Sports Lounge said they plan to offer food soon, so we will see how that goes and if there is more chatter online after that.
