What happened on the show
Hogwash Saloon in Fountain Hills, Arizona, came in for Taffer's standard intervention. The room went through the show's arc of scrutiny, confrontation and renovation, aimed at giving a struggling saloon a viable future. The venue's story took a familiar turn afterward, with a new owner, Jason Reinke, buying the very bar he had patronized for years and rebranding it. Taffer reopened the room under a fresh identity as Skybox Ultra Lounge, betting that a sharper concept and a disciplined operation could steady a struggling Arizona saloon, with the room ultimately finding new life under an owner who knew it well as a customer before he ever took it over. A Fountain Hills saloon with a loyal local base, it had the kind of built-in following that made a sharper concept and steadier operation the difference between drifting and thriving.
After the cameras left
Hogwash Saloon is now Skybox Ultra Sports Lounge and is still operating. New owner Jason Reinke, a longtime patron, bought the bar and rebranded it at 16737 East Parkview Avenue in Fountain Hills, which now runs seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. per the local tourism directory, with the address independently confirmed, putting the status at high confidence as a renamed survivor. The saloon carried forward under an owner who had loved it as a customer, landing this one among the survivors of the ninth season.
