Renamed Leia's Restaurant, Lounge and Nightclub after its Bar Rescue makeover.

What happened on the show
The Grant Bar and Lounge in Tracy, California, received Taffer's standard intervention. The room went through the show's familiar sequence, a recon reading the operation as customers do, a hard confrontation over its failings, a stress test of the staff, and a renovation aimed at giving the bar a viable future. Taffer reopened the venue as Leia's Restaurant, Lounge and Nightclub, a rebrand meant to reposition the room as a broader nightlife destination, betting that a sharper concept and a disciplined operation could steady a struggling Tracy bar. The reveal handed the owners a new identity and a new look, with the usual open question of whether they could keep the standards up once the cameras left. The Tracy room's late-night nightclub ambitions would prove its undoing, as the very hours the rebrand leaned into drew the scrutiny that later cost it its permit.
After the cameras left
Leia's Restaurant, Lounge and Nightclub is effectively closed. In May 2022 the Tracy Planning Commission voted 4-0 to revoke the conditional-use permit that allowed operation after 11 p.m., citing a history of police calls and complaints, a major blow for a nightclub, as reported independently by the Tracy Press. Secondary fan-tracker sources say the business fully closed shortly after. Because the permit revocation is independently confirmed while the full-closure claim rests on excluded sourcing, the closure is recorded at high confidence, dated to that May 2022 regulatory action.
