barBar Rescue · Season 6, Episode 43 · Aired August 25, 2019
Stix & Stones Bar and Grill
Sugar Creek, Missouri
Open. The rescue stuck and it continues to operate.
What happened after
Still operating under its original name at 11404 E US Highway 24, Sugar Creek, MO; multiple current business directories (Yellow Pages, AllBiz, Manta, Chamber of Commerce) list it as active into 2026. This pass captured the specific per-business Yellow Pages URL (previously only the generic domain was cited).
What happened on the show
Ten years into a successful run, a drag-racing bar owner was watching his profits go up in smoke. At Stix and Stones Bar and Grill in Sugar Creek, Missouri, the room had thrived for years before sliding, and Taffer had to diagnose what had changed for an owner whose racing-themed bar was suddenly losing money, with two Kansas City Chiefs linemen brought in for the recon. The rescue worked to restore the fundamentals that had made the bar successful in the first place. Taffer proposed reopening the venue as Pit Stop Bar and BBQ, a racing-and-barbecue rebrand meant to sharpen the concept, betting that a return to discipline and a clearer identity could reverse the slide at a room that had a decade of success to build back toward.
After the cameras left
Stix and Stones is still operating, under its original name. It continues at 11404 East US Highway 24 in Sugar Creek, with multiple current business directories, including Yellow Pages, AllBiz, Manta and the chamber of commerce, listing it as active into 2026, which puts the open call at medium confidence. The drag-racing owner's bar survived its slump and kept its original identity rather than the Pit Stop rebrand, landing this one among the survivors, a decade-plus institution that steadied itself after the profits had started to slip.
