Is Dr. Philgoods Sports Bar Still Open? Bar Rescue Update

Bar Rescue (Paramount Network) featured Dr. Philgoods Sports Bar in Pompano Beach, Florida, in the season 9 episode "Feels Bad at Philgoods," which aired June 30, 2024, with the on-site rescue taking place in February 2024, according to Bar Rescue fan-site coverage of the episode. That coverage indicates the bar, owned by Carl Johnson, had no drink menu at the time of the initial inspection and that bartenders could not make standard cocktails such as an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan. The same coverage describes the rescue as introducing a laboratory theme built around exposed pipes and colorful beaker-style glassware, rebranding the bar as Dr. Philgoods Laboratory Bar & Grill, and equipping the business with Skytab point-of-sale systems, tablets, and a Partender inventory-tracking subscription.

By September 2026, the bar's own website, philgoods.bar, listed hours of 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily, described a recurring Poker Night on Wednesdays and Fridays at 8:30 p.m. and a Tuesday Bingo Night at 7 p.m., and referenced daily food, drink, and beer specials. Yelp's listing for the business, shown under the Dr. Philgoods Laboratory Bar and Grill name and last updated in August 2026, and Google's business record both list the location as operational at 4251 N Dixie Hwy. Nothing found in this check indicated the bar had closed, relocated, or changed ownership since the Bar Rescue episode aired; the Laboratory Bar & Grill name and theme introduced during the rescue appear to have remained in place through the current listings and website content. The most recently dated material visible on the site itself referenced 2024 image files rather than 2026 content, so this assessment relies on the combination of current recurring weekly events, listed hours, and an actively updated third-party review listing rather than any single dated 2026 statement from the business itself.
