What happened next
The owners never fully adopted Taffer's name. Yelp continued to list the bar as Speakeasy Bar & Grill, and the business ran Facebook pages under both names before eventually dropping The Second Line Co and reverting to Speakeasy Bar and Grill. One change that was kept was Taffer's decision to make the bar non-smoking. The bar closed in December 2017, around nine months after its episode aired and a little over a year after Taffer's visit in October 2016. At closure, it held a three-star rating on Yelp and 4.2 stars on Google. The Kenner location was later occupied by a bar and hookah lounge named Area 504, which had moved to Harvey by 2024.
