Bar Rescue Review is an independent record of every bar rescued on Bar Rescue. For each of the 284 bars featured across seasons 1–10 and the Lost Episode special, it documents the episode, the name Jon Taffer relaunched the bar under, and the outcome — still trading, sold, or closed. Every status is cited to its sources on the bar's own page.
Episode details are drawn from the Wikipedia episode list. Open and closed statuses, sales and closure dates are cross-checked between two long-running trackers, Reality TV Revisited and Reality TV Updates; where they disagree, the status supported by a dated closure report prevails. A bar is marked unconfirmed, rather than guessed, where reports conflict or the evidence has gone quiet. A sale is recorded as an event, never as a status: bars that were sold appear with their open or closed status, and the sale is recorded in their key dates and facts. Survival percentages compare each bar against the 140 rescued bars whose closing date is known — bars that closed before their episode aired count as the shortest runs, and bars whose closing date is unknown are excluded rather than estimated. Statuses were last compiled in October 2026; bars change hands and close without notice, so confirm directly before travelling to one listed as open.
