What happened next
Taffer revisited Brick and Barley for a Back to the Bar episode that aired on March 12, 2017, finding the bar still open but barely holding on. The owners had discarded much of the rescue package, including mixologist Daniel Ponsky's cocktail menu — telling him they had kept none of his drinks because their core customers were beer drinkers — and the staff uniforms. They kept the Brick and Barley name, however. AJ sold the bar to general manager Whitney in May 2022. Reviews are mostly positive, with the wings praised and some complaints about service.
