What Happened to Fairways Golf & Grill After Bar Rescue?

On the "Hole in None" episode of Bar Rescue (aired November 17, 2013), Jon Taffer visited Fairways Golf & Grill, a golf-themed sports bar in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The bar had built its concept and decor entirely around golf, but was struggling financially, and recon visits by Taffer's team found kitchen conditions that fell short of basic sanitation standards, along with inconsistent bar service. Taffer determined that the golf theme was not resonating with the local customer base and had the kitchen deep-cleaned and the staff retrained on food-safety basics and standardized drink recipes before the relaunch.

For the makeover, Taffer rebranded the bar entirely as Brew U, dropping the golf concept in favor of a straightforward beer-and-bar-food format with new decor, and coached the ownership group on running the new concept day to day. The stress test held ahead of the reopening showed improved speed and consistency compared to the bar's pre-rescue service, and the relaunch itself drew a strong initial turnout under the new name. Brew U continued operating under the new ownership and concept for a little over a year following the broadcast.

According to bar-industry tracking coverage published in December 2014, the business closed that month amid lease disagreements with the property owner and continuing debt that the rebrand had not resolved. This episode aired the same season, and within weeks, of the MT Bottle episode filmed a few miles away in the same city. A Yelp listing for 127 SE Broad St, Murfreesboro, TN currently shows the location marked permanently closed, and a separate tracking update noted the address changed hands more than once after Brew U's closure.

No further reporting on the original ownership group's subsequent activities was located during this check. The episode aired as part of a run of Season 3 installments filmed across Tennessee and Missouri that fall, several of which ended in closure within roughly a year of broadcast.
