Is JJ's Sports Bar & Grill Still Open? Bar Rescue Update (Highland, CA)

JJ's Sports Bar & Grill, in Highland, California, was featured on Bar Rescue in the episode 'JJ's Sports Bust,' which aired 2023-02-26 in the show's eighth season. As with other episodes, Jon Taffer's team examined the bar's drink program, service, and space before making changes intended to carry the business forward after a relaunch. A Yelp listing for 'JJ's Sports Bar,' updated in July 2026, lists the business as active at 7955 Webster St, Highland, CA, with a phone number of (909) 351-4400 and 126 reviews describing it as a place to watch sports and have drinks with friends, with particular praise for the quality of the steaks served.

The same listing and the business's Instagram and TikTok accounts describe an added carnicería and grill operation alongside the sports bar, where customers can buy fresh meat and seafood and have it grilled on-site — an expansion of the original concept rather than a replacement of it. A Google Places record checked on 2026-09-08 listed the business as operational at the same address under the name 'JJ's Sports Bar and Carnicería,' reflecting that same added meat-market service in its current name. The core name and location match those used on the show; the Carnicería addition is treated here as a service expansion rather than a rename of the underlying business.

No reporting was found describing a closure, ownership change, or full rebrand at the Webster Street address since the show's 2023 episode. One search was used for this record, which surfaced the Yelp listing along with the business's current social-media accounts. The clearest current-state evidence available is a dated review-site listing, rather than the business's own website content or a second, independently dated confirmation. No legal or licensing issues were referenced in any source reviewed for this record.
