Ele Lounge From Bar Rescue Has Closed

Ele Lounge in Hollywood, Florida, which was featured on Bar Rescue in March 2015 has closed.  A reader that is local to the area let me know that it was closed and provided pictures of what the building currently looks like.

Here is the bar right after the makeover from the Bar Rescue makeover:

There was no official announcement of the closure, so I am not sure what happened, but if I get more information, this post will be updated.  People were posting current pictures to the Ele Lounge Facebook page in early August, but it appears sometime after August 3rd, 2015 that the bar closed.

The bar kept the name and changes provided by Bar Rescue, but also hired back someone who was fired on the show and the bartenders continued to dance for tips (as stated in the original update).  This bar closed just 5 months after being on the show and less than a year after their makeover (Nov. 2014).  The Bar Rescue Update page has been updated to show this bar as 'Closed.'

Garnet Lounge From 'Bar Rescue' To Close

The Garnet Lounge in Las Vegas, Nevada, which was featured on the current season of Bar Rescue, will close after a New Year's Eve party tonight at their bar.


The Garnet Lounge posted the following message on their Facebook page:

"With more regret than words can express, we have to close our business and accept the defeat brought to us by our economy and the changes in our industry. Our last night will be tomorrow night, New Year's Eve. Please come out and see us, have some drinks and say goodbye. We will miss serving you at the Alibi and Garnet Lounge and will update you as our incredible crew finds new homes."

The Garnet Lounge has been open for 20+ years and is closing less than 2 months after their Bar Rescue episode debuted on Spike TV.  The Bar Rescue Update Page has been updated to show this bar as closed.

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"

All Bar Rescue Updates - How Many Are Open Vs Closed?

Now that season 3 of Bar Rescue is complete, I have put together a list of ALL bars that have appeared on Bar Rescue, and whether they are still open or have closed, as well as how they are reviewed.

This list will be kept up-to-date and will be updated as more episodes air and when bars end up closing.

As of today, 40 bars have appeared on Bar Rescue, and of those 40 bars, seven have closed, and the rest remain open.


There is a tab at the top of the webpage called "Bar Rescue Updates," or here is the direct link to the page.  This page has each episode listed, along with the status of the bar and any relevant links.  So head over to there to see the detailed analysis of all Bar Rescue bars.

Also, keep an eye out for detailed updates for upcoming episodes and past episodes on the blog.
