What happened after Restaurant: Impossible (Food Network)?

Restaurant: Impossible (Food Network) visited Dog & Pony Alehouse (also styled Dog & Pony Ale House and Grill) in Renton, Washington, for the episode "Dog and Pony Show," which aired February 11, 2015. The episode, part of the show's tenth season, followed the series' usual approach: Robert Irvine and his team reviewed the restaurant's menu, kitchen practices, and beer program, then carried out a roughly two-day renovation of the space before a relaunch dinner for the owners and staff. Yelp's listing for the business, located at 351 Park Avenue North in Renton, currently marks it as closed.

A Tripadvisor user review also carries a title referencing the show having closed, though it is a single visitor's characterization rather than a dated business-status report and shows no clear posting date. Other directories, including Groupon and an Open Brewery DB listing, continued to display information suggesting the business might still be active, without a clear update date attached to either. In a September 2026 check, Google's listing for the business at 351 Park Ave N marked it permanently closed, consistent with Yelp. No information was found regarding a new name, new ownership, or relocation of the business. The Renton alehouse had been known locally for a rotating craft-beer selection alongside a standard pub-food menu, a combination the show's makeover aimed to sharpen, according to the episode's own on-air description of its goals, by narrowing the food menu to pair better with the beer program.
