Daq Shack Is Now Royal Street MKE — What Happened After Bar Rescue?

Daq Shack, at 4191 N Green Bay Ave in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, appeared in Bar Rescue's ninth season episode "I'm a F'n Bar Guy! I'm a F'n Bar Girl!," which aired March 23, 2025 on Paramount Network. According to Urban Milwaukee, which covered the episode in a March 26, 2025 article, Daq Shack was owned by husband-and-wife team Michael and India Guster, who both came from finance and banking careers and had opened the bar in 2021 as a tribute to India's family in New Orleans. Urban Milwaukee reported that Jon Taffer was unusually easygoing during the visit and worked with the Gusters to rename the bar Royal Street MKE, adding a light New Orleans-style food menu built around po'boy sandwiches.

The relaunch kept the Gusters as owners while changing the bar's name and menu focus, according to Urban Milwaukee's coverage; the outlet described the makeover as one of two Milwaukee-area Bar Rescue projects covered in the same piece. Royal Street MKE continues to operate at the address under its post-show name. A direct check of royalstreeteats.com on September 8, 2026 returned a working site (HTTP 200) with visible 2026-dated content, an active online ordering system, and a homepage describing wings and po'boys "from the comfort of your home."

The site's title tag reads "ROYAL STREET," and its navigation includes reservations and online-ordering links, both functioning at the time of the check. A Google Places listing for the same coordinates lists the business as Royal Street MKE and shows it as operational. Taken together, Urban Milwaukee's dated reporting on the name change and the bar's own currently functioning website and ordering system indicate that Royal Street MKE -- the renamed Daq Shack -- remains open under the Gusters' ownership as of this check, with no sources found describing a later closure or change in ownership.
