What happened after Bar Rescue?

Interlude II Bar & Grill sits at 514 57th St in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and appeared in Bar Rescue's ninth season in the episode "Jimmy Meet World," which aired February 23, 2025 on Paramount Network. As with other stops on the show, host Jon Taffer's visit centered on the tavern's drink program, staffing and sales performance ahead of a renovation and relaunch under the owners' existing name. Area business directories describe Interlude II as a longstanding neighborhood tavern; according to a Joe Coffee Kenosha-area directory listing, the bar has operated under family ownership since 1963, decades before the Bar Rescue crew arrived.

Bar Rescue's format typically has Taffer's team overhaul a struggling bar's layout, retrain staff on drink recipes and pricing, and stage a public relaunch event, though the specific changes made inside Interlude II were not detailed in the sources available for this update. What is documented is that the tavern retained its pre-show name and street address once the episode aired in early 2025.

Interlude II Bar & Grill remains active at the featured address. According to Yelp, whose listing for the tavern (indexed there as "Interlude II Tavern") was updated in August 2026, the business is still operating at 514 57th St, with posted hours extending into the early-morning hours on Fridays and Saturdays. A Google Places business listing for the same address also shows the location as operational, consistent with the Yelp update. Other directories, including Tripadvisor and a regional restaurant guide, list current-seeming reviews and hours for the same address without noting a closure. The bar's listed phone number is consistent across these directories, a further sign the business has not changed hands since the show aired.

No sources reviewed for this update report a closure, sale, relocation or additional name change for Interlude II Bar & Grill since the episode aired. The tavern's identity, address and general operating pattern match what was shown when it was featured on Bar Rescue in February 2025.
