Dog & Pony Alehouse
Renton, Washington
It was renamed and continues to trade. It now goes by The Hop Garden.
The short answer
Sold to new ownership and reopened under a new name; same address confirmed independently.
What happened on the show
The Dog & Pony Alehouse on Park Avenue North in Renton, Washington got its tenth season visit under the show's compressed two day approach, Irvine working the network's small remodeling fund to reset a struggling alehouse. What Irvine changed inside Dog & Pony is not documented in the Wikipedia synopsis, blank for this episode, so the detail sits off this page rather than reconstructed. The business ultimately changed hands and identity: the same Renton address now operates as The Hop Garden, active on social media as of mid 2025, which independently confirms the alehouse itself is gone even as the space kept serving. A circulating 2019 closure date traces only to a banned tracker and is not verified here, so we log the rename without asserting that unconfirmed timing.
After the cameras left
The Dog & Pony Alehouse was sold and reopened under new ownership as The Hop Garden, which runs at the same 351 Park Avenue North address and was active on Facebook into mid-2025. Based on the matching address and the successor's activity, we rate this a medium call. A reported earlier closure date traces only to a competitor tracker we will not cite, so we omit it rather than assert an unverified timeline. The upshot is continuity of the space: the Renton alehouse gave way to a new name and new operators, but the address kept serving.
