Stopped in on 12/02/15 Around 5:35pm and ordered The Cool Down Drink which was strong, that's moonshine for you. I also ordered the Hot Links Burger which was really really good, Amanda the bartender did a fantastic job cooking the burger. The place looks really nice after the makeover, they did a great job. My only gripe, they should put more lighting outside, in the parking lot area. Seems like a fun place to come back to.

Sometimes you need to appreciate the good with the bad. Everything about the service is wonderful. Some things that the bar had no control over such as the paint and the tables that bar rescue provided are to be looked over until they are able to make changes. I will write a review for bar rescue for their upgrades I am not happy with. The service is wonderful, the drinks are strong, the food is out of this world.

Great neighborhood sports bar! While on the way here I remembered as soon as I saw the place that this was a bar recently rescued by Jon Taffer for his show Bar Rescue. We stepped in and instantly felt a comfortable neighborhood bar vibe. Lots of TV's all over to keep on top of your favorite sports teams. The staff was very polite, even the bartenders on the other end of the bar (whose section we didnt sit in) said " Hi". I loved the car theme for the interior of the bar. My friends exact words were "wow , what a place this would be to come to after work for a round or two while watching a game on tv". I also love how they have the dartboard(s) in a separate little gaming room so it's out of the way of the rest of the bar crowd. I didn't get a chance to explore the food menu, or ask about the Car chairs that were set up in the bar. But my friends and I enjoyed the place so I have no doubt we will be back! Keep up the good work Proving Ground!

This is a gem! Bar Rescue came here and redid the whole feel, theme, and menu. I cant get over how it has changed. The Hot link burger is great. The prices are fair and the service is very friendly.

Came here on the first night it was open for the bar rescue "relaunch". The drinks are pretty good, although very expensive. I tried the prove it which was like drinking siriacha water. Seriously. Also tried the 6th gear which was STRONG. The gravy and cheese tots are on point though. 4/5 because I can't base my review on a night they SLAMMED the bar for filming. Will return soon to give a better review.
