The rescue
Jon Taffer relaunched The Brick Tavern as Char Bar and BBQ.

What happened next
Owner Charlene kept Taffer's new name and branding, and the bar continued trading as Char Bar and BBQ in Sachse, Texas. It was still open in 2023, active on its Facebook page with regular weekend live music, bingo nights and karaoke. Reviews did not improve after the rescue, however. The bar held a 2.6-star rating on Google, and its Yelp page, still listed under the Brick Tavern name, stood at 2.5 stars, with reviewers continuing to criticise the food and service.
