What happened after Mystery Diners?
Uptown Billiards Club, a billiards club and bar in Portland, Oregon, appeared on Mystery Diners season 8, episode 5, "Behind the Eight Ball," which aired 2014-11-03. Mystery Diners is a series in which an owner concerned about a service or staff problem allows hidden cameras and undercover diners into the business, then reviews the footage with the host for a coaching session on fixes. According to Wikipedia's article on the series, citing its sources, the investigations are arranged in advance and scripted for television rather than being spontaneous.
Google's business-listing data for the address at 120 NW 23rd Ave marks Uptown Billiards Club with a permanently-closed status. No current website, phone listing, or social-media presence was located for the business during this research, and no dated news article or review describing the closure's circumstances or timing was found.
