What happened after Bar Rescue?

SacTown Sports Bar & Grill was a Sacramento bar bought in 2016 by Chris Eaton, a retired police officer. By the time Bar Rescue's Jon Taffer and musician T-Pain arrived for the Season 7 premiere, "Sactown Going Down" (aired 2020-03-01), according to a recap by RealityTVUpdates, Taffer argued that Sacramento wasn't a sports-bar town and that its visitors skewed toward customers who wouldn't seek one out; RealityTVUpdates reported Eaton was losing about $8,000 a month and was roughly two months from closing. Taffer's crew renovated the space and, according to RealityTVUpdates, renamed it Brannan Manor Restaurant & Spirits, reporting that staff and customers embraced the new concept and that sales rose after the episode aired. A Google Places search tied to this record's original address returned an unrelated business, Tom's Watch Bar - Sacramento at 414 K St; that match does not correspond to this bar. Listings including Yelp, Foursquare, and OpenTable place Brannan Manor at 106 J St in Sacramento's Old Sacramento district, near but not on K Street. Yelp's page for the restaurant, last updated 2026-09, showed more than 450 reviews accumulated over its run, but a review found in this search, dated April 2026, described Brannan Manor as permanently closed. No current website, active social account, or other 2026-dated confirmation that the restaurant is still operating was found; its Facebook page, listed under the Brannan Manor name, remains online but was not checked for recent posting activity in this search. T-Pain's presence at the taping marked the episode as a season-opening event for the show, according to RealityTVUpdates, distinct from Bar Rescue's typical single-expert format. Old Sacramento, where Brannan Manor operated, is a historic riverfront district built around 19th-century architecture that draws tourist foot traffic different from the sports-bar crowd Eaton had originally targeted, a mismatch Taffer cited during the rescue.
