Crowne Irish Pub in Brandon, Florida, which appeared on season 8 (2nd set) of Bar Rescue has closed. The bar closed in July 2022 and posted the following message on their Facebook page:
"To all the amazing guests at the Crowne Irish pub, formerly the Forge, past and present. It has been an experience of a lifetime to be a member of the community and serve you all. Unfortunately, due to a series of events, not really worth getting into, our doors will close for the last this Sunday night. The concept of the bar was to bring a neighborhood atmosphere, music, food, and a drink or two. A place where you could relax, unwind, and feel safe. With that being said from the bottom of my heart thank you all again for supporting small businesses, employees current and past, musicians and vendors I couldn’t have done it without you. I was hoping for more time for my employees’ sake, so before any Facebook warriors complain we have lined them up with jobs. Blessed to have such a great network of small business owners who all have each other’s backs.
Slainte (cheers), Patrick"
Their Facebook page has been removed since they closed and it appears nothing has opened in the location of the bar yet.
The bar was originally named Forge Irish Pub, but was renamed during Bar Rescue to Crowne Irish Pub. Here is the detailed update from the episode and the reviews were pretty mixed.
Crowne Irish Pub appeared on Bar Rescue in May 2022 after being rescued in March 2022. This means Crowne Irish Pub closed just a few months after their episode aired. Crowne Irish Pub has been marked as 'Closed' on the Bar Rescue Updates Page.
