What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode featured The Local Post Pub's burgers, cocktails, and bar-game offerings, including pool and shuffleboard, served inside a converted former post-office building on Burnet Road. The bar and restaurant opened in Central Austin in February 2017, according to Community Impact (2017-02), and its layout included a patio, community tables, and a dedicated game room. Google's business listing for the 7113 Burnet Rd address marked the business permanently closed. Yelp's listing for The Local Post Pub also carried a closed label, last updated in October 2025, according to Yelp (2025-10). OpenTable's page for the restaurant remained visible online without noting the closure, illustrating how some directories lag behind changes in status. Neither Google Places nor Yelp specified an exact closure date or the reason for the closure.
