What happened after Food Paradise?

Scampo and Alibi Bar + Lounge at The Liberty Hotel were featured in the episode "Scary Good" (season 12, episode 8), spotlighting the hotel's Italian restaurant and its jailhouse-themed bar inside the former Charles Street Jail. According to Wikipedia, revised 2026-07-11, Scampo opened in 2008 as the "sixth culinary destination" from chef Lydia Shire, operates under The Lyons Group, and was designed by Rafael Alvarez and Brannen Brock. Alibi's own website, alibiboston.com, last modified 2026-09-07 and accessed 2026-09-09, describes the bar as "Open NIGHTLY" and references the building's history "Since 1851," and lists current hours running Wednesday through Sunday plus a working reservation system. A Yelp listing for Scampo, updated September 2026, shows 720 reviews, and scampoboston.com was separately promoting a specific dine-out event dated for August 2026 at the time of this check.
