Key dates
- June 1, 2025Bar Rescue episode “Tropical Storm” airs — Jon Taffer's rescue of Tropic, relaunched as Montego Bay Beach Club, filmed earlier.
The rescue
Jon Taffer relaunched Tropic as Montego Bay Beach Club.
The bar was renamed Montego Bay Beach Club during the show but did not keep the name. Reviews are mostly positive, with praise for the chicken wings.
What happened next
The bar never settled into Taffer's concept.

The bar remains open in Milwaukee.
