The rescue
Jon Taffer relaunched Hogwash Saloon as Skybox Ultra Sports Lounge.
The bar was renamed Skybox Ultra Sports Lounge and has kept the name. Too few post-show reviews exist to judge the changes; the bar held a 4.1-star Google rating on a small number of reviews.
What happened next
The bar was relaunched as Skybox Ultra Sports Lounge and kept the new name, hosting a watch party for its episode, regular karaoke nights and a Super Bowl event; it also planned to begin serving food. The published record on its performance is thin: no Yelp page exists for either the Skybox or the Hogwash name, and the bar held a 4.1-star rating on Google from fewer than 30 reviews, only two of which were written after Taffer's visit.
