What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited STEPCHLD, a bar in Minneapolis's Northeast Arts District known for creative cocktails and bar food, in the episode "Burgers, Bone Marrow & Bangladesh," which aired October 18, 2024. The bar operated from a shared retail building at 24 University Avenue NE, Suite 100, according to Google Places records. That same Google Places listing carried a business_status of CLOSED_PERMANENTLY when checked on September 8, 2026. The bar's own website, stepchld.com, returned an HTTP 404 error on that date rather than loading any page content, and no active social media presence was found in its place. No independent news report describing a closure date was located, so the exact timing of the shutdown remains undocumented beyond the Google Places record and the dead website.
