Pro's Sports Bar
Country Club Hills, Illinois
Good outcome here: the business is still trading today. It trades today as BR Bar.
What happened after
Rebranded 'BR Bar' at the same address, 18601 Cicero Ave, Country Club Hills IL 60478. Three independent, search-discovered directory citations at the exact address: Yelp (yelp.com/biz/br-bar-country-club-hills, 'Updated July 2026', 62 reviews, 2.5/5), Yellow Pages, and MapQuest, all confirming the address and (Yelp) recency.
What happened on the show
A management-heavy staff that openly disrespected its owner, and an owner whose overbearing style only fed the constant arguing, had a suburban Chicago sports bar at war with itself. At Pro's Sports Bar in Country Club Hills, Taffer had to break the cycle of a staff that talked back and a boss who could not stop micromanaging, and for the recon he brought in Barstool Sports personalities to read the room. The rescue worked to reset the relationship between owner and crew, replacing friction with a functional chain of command. Taffer reopened the venue as BR Bar, a rebrand meant to give the fractious room a clean slate and a clearer identity, betting that a recalibrated owner and an accountable staff could turn a bar defined by internal conflict into a going concern in a competitive suburban market.
After the cameras left
BR Bar is still operating at the same address, 18601 Cicero Avenue. Three independent, search-discovered directory listings, from Yelp, Yellow Pages and MapQuest, all confirm the address, with the Yelp listing carrying an explicit July 2026 freshness marker and 62 reviews, a strong recency signal that puts the open call at medium confidence. Direct fetches were not attempted given the reliable Yelp block, holding this short of high, but the convergence of three sources on a currently active listing marks the rebranded sports bar a survivor.
