What happened after Food Paradise?

In the episode 'Pizza Party' (Season 9, Episode 4), the business appeared under the name Bru Room at Bar, referring to the on-site taproom of the New Haven restaurant and nightclub known as BAR, which brews its own beer to accompany its New Haven-style apizza. The business occupies a space on Crown Street in downtown New Haven that combines a pizzeria, a brewery, and a nightclub. According to CT Bites, which revisited and reviewed the restaurant's pizza on 2025-08-18, BAR continued serving its brick-oven pies at that time. The business's own website, checked 2026-09-09, loaded normally and offered an active online reservation system, according to BAR's website. The site also promotes the venue's dance floor and DJ nights alongside its pizza and beer menu, according to BAR's website.
