What Happened to Linda Lou's Time For Two After Bar Rescue? (Layton, UT)

Linda Lou's Time For Two was a bar in Layton, Utah that Bar Rescue featured in the Season 7 episode "Breaking Brandon," which aired 2020-03-15. According to Bar Rescue Updates, the bar had previously operated as Purser's Bar before Jon Taffer's crew renamed it Linda Lou's Time For Two during the rescue. The new name did not last. Bar Rescue Updates reported, in coverage dated 2020-03, that the bar closed in December 2019, before the episode even aired on television, following a reported 67 percent decline in customers, and that the owner was said to be trying to undo some of the show's changes in the weeks before the closure.

RealityTVUpdates and Reality TV Revisited both reported that the bar was then listed for sale for $200,000, fixtures and furniture included, in January 2020, and that the listing sold within a relatively short time. Google Places lists the address as 2981 N Hill Field Rd, Layton, UT 84041, with a permanently-closed business status, consistent with the sale reporting. No source found in this search indicates what business, if any, has since occupied the address, and no current website or social account for Linda Lou's Time For Two or Purser's Bar was located.

Because the closure predated the episode's broadcast, the bar's Bar Rescue-branded run was effectively limited to the show's production timeline rather than any period of public operation under the rescued name. The episode's title, "Breaking Brandon," referenced a member of the bar's ownership or staff, though that person's specific role in the bar's problems is not detailed in the sources reviewed here. Neither Bar Rescue Updates nor RealityTVUpdates reported a subsequent reopening of the space under any name as of their respective publication dates. Reality TV Revisited's separate write-up on the bar, published in 2021, corroborated the account of the pre-broadcast closure without offering a different closure date.
