barBar Rescue · Season 7, Episode 4 · Aired March 22, 2020
The Union
Midvale, Utah
This one survived. It remains in business.
What happened after
Restaurant Guru carries a live listing (no closure tag) at 7176 South 900 E, Midvale, UT, though hours are not populated on the listing, so the positive signal is weak.
What happened on the show
The Union was a Midvale, Utah, bar that received Taffer's standard intervention. The room went through the show's familiar sequence, a recon of the customer experience, a hard look at the operation's failings, a stress test of the staff, and a renovation aimed at giving the bar a viable identity. Taffer proposed reopening the venue as The Midway, a rebrand meant to give the room a fresh concept, betting that a clearer identity and a disciplined operation could steady a struggling Utah bar. As with many of the show's rescues, the reveal handed the owners a new name and a new look, leaving the harder question of whether they would keep the changes once the cameras left. A struggling Utah bar in a small market, it had little cushion for missteps, which made the rescue's push for discipline and a clear concept all the more consequential.
After the cameras left
The Union appears to still be operating, though the evidence is thin. A directly fetched RestaurantGuru listing carries no closure tag at 7176 South 900 East in Midvale, but the hours field is not populated, so the positive signal is weak, and no Yelp, Facebook or Google check could corroborate it this pass. On the strength of the untagged directory listing alone, the open call rests at low confidence, the room presumed still operating, apparently back under The Union name rather than the proposed Midway rebrand, but not independently verified.
