What happened after Man v. Food?

86'd Bar & Eatery was named as a stop in the same February 22, 2022 Connecticut episode of Man v. Food, alongside GoldBurgers and MofonGo. Man v. Food's own Wikipedia episode listing describes the concept, before closure, as a neighborhood bar built around custom cocktails, local craft beer, and a bar menu, and carries a post-episode note that Yelp users reported the business permanently closed, without giving a specific date. This session's research could not independently reach the underlying Yelp listing to confirm a closure date, nor could it confirm a street address for the Hartford-area location distinct from an unrelated, similarly named "86'D" restaurant later found closed in Norwich, Connecticut, a different city. No news coverage naming a closure date or reason for the Hartford-area 86'd Bar & Eatery was located this session, and the record here is left address-pending for further research.
