What happened on the show
Alex Polizzi's series 13 opener found some first-time hoteliers turning the space above their craft-beer bar into hotel rooms, while also hoping to bolt on a tapas bar and a chicken shop. That scattergun ambition, several concepts stacked onto one small venue by people new to the trade, was the nub of the case. Resolved to Southport in Merseyside, the property was fourteen rooms above a bar run by novices. Polizzi's instinct with overreaching first-timers was usually to force focus, and the honest reading is that she pushed them to master one thing before bolting on three, though the episode's specific on-screen detail beyond that setup is not fully preserved. The over-ambitious first-timers opened series 13 in June 2017, and the Southport property has left no traceable present-day signal since.
After the cameras left
The current status of the Regency Rooms cannot be confirmed. Every search route failed to surface any present-day information for the Southport property beyond the 2017 episode synopsis itself, leaving no signal for continued trading or closure. The honest position is last confirmed around the 2017 broadcast, with the picture since then unverified. It remains a recheck candidate, best pursued later through a Southport craft-beer-bar-with-rooms search or a Companies House lookup for distinctive local hospitality companies, rather than the generic property name alone.
