Yelp reviews after the show filmed were average. Gordon revisits a year later in a Kitchen Nightmares revisited episode and Handlebar is still open with happier owners.
Billy is still stubborn but a little less so and Melissa is still in the kitchen, much to Gordon's surprise.
The walk-in is immaculate and the filet he orders is tender and delicious.
Handlebar closed in 2009 shortly after the revisit episode was filmed and the restaurant was sold.
Sadly, Billy from Handlebar passed away from cancer in November 2015.
The restaurant reopened in 2010 as Skybox Restaurant and Sports Bar, which closed in 2011.
Yelp reviews prior to the closure were average.
The restaurant later opened as Benchwarmers Tavern and Grill, a sports bar and it is still open with better reviews than it's predecessors.
