Revisited in Back to the Bar: Blue in the Frog Face (S6E11, aired 2018-05-20) as Mac & Chester's SRO
What happened after
Renamed "Boulder Lodge Bar & Grill" after the S4E43 rescue; spine notes confirm the rescue name was still in use as of the 2018 revisit episode. Since then it has been rebranded again and is currently operating as "Back to the SRO Bar & Grill" at 18919 Lake George Blvd (Oak Grove MN, adjoining Anoka).
What happened on the show
Two feuding bar owners were the story at Mac and Chester's SRO in Anoka, with one refusing even to set foot in his own bar over his partner's outrageous conduct and hard-drinking crew, even with his marriage hanging in the balance. Taffer had to settle the score between them, and the episode carried a running gag as owners Todd and then Scott kept leaving the bar in their vehicles, with co-owner Elise the only one who stayed. Billed as the show's 100th episode, it centered on forcing two partners to confront what their conflict was costing them. Taffer reopened the venue as Boulder Lodge Bar and Grill, a rustic rebrand meant to give the fractured partnership something new to rally behind, betting that resolving the feud could save both a business and a marriage.
After the cameras left
The Anoka-area bar is still operating, now under a further rebrand. It kept the Boulder Lodge name through the show's 2018 revisit before being renamed again, and it currently trades as Back to the SRO Bar and Grill at 18919 Lake George Boulevard, a nod back to the original Mac and Chester's SRO identity. Yelp places the address in adjoining Oak Grove, sometimes conflated with Anoka, but the same address lineage holds. The room survived the owners' feud and kept going, landing this one among the renamed survivors at medium confidence.
