What Happened to Bottoms Up Bar & Grill After Bar Rescue? (Stanton, CA)

Bottoms Up Bar & Grill in Stanton, California, was featured on Bar Rescue (Paramount Network) in the Season 7 episode "Bottoms Up, Going Down," which aired May 31, 2020. The bar operated at 8595 Katella Avenue and was known locally by the nickname "Bikini Bar," reflected in the name of an associated Facebook page, Bottoms Up Bar & Grill #3, suggesting the Stanton location was one of a small numbered group operating under related branding. The specific problems Jon Taffer identified during the visit and the changes made on air were not available in the sourced material reviewed for this entry.

What is documented is the bar's status well after the broadcast: a Yelp listing for Bottoms Up Bar and Grill at 8595 Katella Avenue was updated in October 2025 and marked permanently closed. A separate Google Places record for the address likewise carries a permanently-closed status. No dedicated restaurant website was located for the Stanton address, and no news coverage of a closure date, sale, or change of ownership was found in the sources reviewed. Katella Avenue in Stanton sits along a commercial corridor near Beach Boulevard, in a small city bordered by Anaheim, Garden Grove, and Cypress in Orange County.

Multiple "Bottoms Up" branded bar and grill locations appear to have operated in the region under related names and social accounts, which may explain some conflicting older references found for the Stanton address; the Yelp record specific to 8595 Katella Avenue, however, is the most recently updated dated source available for that address and shows it closed. No court record, government filing, or owner statement was reviewed for this entry, so the reason for the closure and its precise date remain undocumented in the sources available here. The listing update itself, dated October 2025, is not a closure date -- it only establishes that as of that update, the Katella Avenue address was no longer an operating Bottoms Up Bar & Grill.
