Bar Rescue · S8 E18
SandTown Pub
Atlanta, Georgia
Still open. It kept its doors open after the show.
The short answer
Black-owned and women-owned community sports bar & grill with karaoke and live entertainment.
What happened on the show
An owner was seizing her second chance in life by trying to save her struggling Atlanta bar, and Taffer set out to help her do it. At SandTown Pub, the rescue centered on getting the owner to manage her staff and run the business with the discipline a turnaround required, treating her personal stakes in the venture as motivation to get it right. The room went through the show's arc of scrutiny, confrontation and renovation, working to give a determined owner the operational footing she needed. Taffer briefly renamed the venue JJ's Chicken Bar during the episode, betting that a sharper concept and a more capable owner could turn a struggling community bar into the fresh start she was fighting for.
After the cameras left
SandTown Pub is still open, back under its original name. It was briefly renamed JJ's Chicken Bar during the episode but reverted to SandTown Pub, and it operates as a Black-owned and women-owned community sports bar and grill with karaoke and live entertainment at 5819 Campbellton Road in Atlanta, which puts the open call at high confidence. The owner's second-chance bar survived and kept its original identity, landing this one firmly among the survivors, a community-anchored room that came through its rescue intact.
