What Happened to High 5 Grille After Bar Rescue? (Tucson, AZ)

High 5 Grille operated at 3682 W. Orange Grove Rd., an address Google's listing gives as Tucson, Arizona, though Tucson Foodie and Tucson.com both described the bar as being in neighboring Marana. The bar appeared in Bar Rescue's "Low Five Dive" (aired 2024-03-24); Tucson Foodie reported that Bar Rescue's crew filmed the makeover in November 2023 and renamed the business Cinco Cantina; Tucson Foodie also named Marana Mercado Associates as the shopping-center landlord, indicating the bar operated within a larger retail development rather than as a standalone building. According to Tucson Foodie, the relaunched Cinco Cantina permanently closed on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, weeks after Jon Taffer's crew finished work on the space.

Tucson Foodie reported that a notice posted on the door named Marana Mercado Associates, the landlord, as having repossessed the property and everything left inside, including the renovations completed for the show. Tucson.com separately covered the closure in its own local news section around the same time, also identifying the business as the bar recently featured on Bar Rescue. No dedicated Bar Rescue recap page for High 5 Grille or Cinco Cantina, of the kind available for most other bars the show featured, has been found, so the two local news reports are the main accounts of the closure.

Neither outlet reported a reopening, a new tenant, or any subsequent use of the space as of their publication dates in January 2024. Google's listing for the address marks the business permanently closed under the Cinco Cantina name, consistent with both news reports. The gap between the November 2023 filming and the January 2024 closure was brief: Tucson Foodie's piece frames it as one of the show's less durable local turnarounds, with the business closing before the episode had even aired in March 2024. No available source describes what happened to High 5 Grille's staff, equipment, or ownership after the landlord's repossession, and no source dated later than early 2024 has been found to confirm whether the space has since reopened under another name.
