What happened after Bar Rescue?

Silver Dollar in Chula Vista, California, appeared on Bar Rescue (Paramount Network) in the Season 7 episode "A Silver Dollar Saved Is a Silver Dollar Earned," which aired June 7, 2020. The bar, at 341 Third Avenue in downtown Chula Vista, traces its history to 1934, when the address opened as the Owl Buffet under founder Willis Fullerton before later taking the Silver Dollar name.

The specific problems addressed and changes made during the Bar Rescue visit were not available in the sourced material reviewed for this entry. What is documented is the bar's activity well after the episode aired. A Yelp listing for Silver Dollar at 341 Third Avenue was updated in July 2026 and describes a bar closed on Mondays, open Tuesday through Saturday from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m., with a regular entertainment schedule: karaoke and DJ bingo on Tuesdays at 8 p.m., a Spanish-language rock band on Thursdays at 8 p.m., and a video DJ with occasional live bands on Fridays and Saturdays. The listing also notes two pool tables on site. A separate Google Places record for the address lists the business as operational.

No independent news article, dated social-media post, or second listing service was reviewed to corroborate the Yelp page's July 2026 update, so this entry rests on that single dated source together with the Places record. No indication of a name change, relocation, or change of ownership was found in the material reviewed; the venue continues to operate under the Silver Dollar name at the address featured on the show.

Third Avenue in downtown Chula Vista carries a mix of long-running bars and restaurants near the Third Avenue Village business district, and Silver Dollar's detailed, recurring weekly entertainment lineup, as described in the July 2026 listing, reads as an actively run, regularly staffed bar rather than a location that has gone quiet since its television appearance nearly six years ago.
