Tidal Bay Beach Bar From Bar Rescue Has Closed

Tidal Bay Beach Bar in Long Beach, California from season 5 (3rd set) of Bar Rescue has closed.  The bar closed in January 2019 and a tiki bar is supposed to open in its location in March 2019.


In October 2018, bartender Lola from the show announced that she would no longer be working at Tidal Bay Beach Bar.  Also in October 2018, the bar put up a "Public Notice of Application For Ownership Change" outside the bar, which is on their Facebook page.  Finally in January 2019, Tidal Bay Beach Bar posted a picture of their suspended liquor license with the caption "30 day notice."  Comments below that post say that the bar had its liquor license suspended due to a paperwork issue.

Tidal Bay Beach Bar was originally called Liquid Lounge before Jon Taffer did the makeover, and the bar did keep the name given to them Bar Rescue. Here is the original update for Tidal Bay Beach Bar and the bar has been marked as 'Closed' on the Bar Rescue Updates Page.

Bar Rescue - Tidal Bay Beach Bar (Liquid Lounge) Update

On tonight's episode of Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer and crew are in Long Beach, California to rescue Liquid Lounge.  Liquid Lounge is a bar owned by Rob McCarthy who bought the bar back in 2010.  Thing were going well at first, but then after a few years things started to go downhill.  Liquid Lounge lost one of their cooks and an article about fruit flies in the bar was published in the local paper.  The bar is filthy and the owner Rob is in over his head with him supposedly being $270,000 in debt.

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