The Leaded Shade II was a short-lived bar that opened in December 1990. Pete and Bev Nilssen, who'd owned the original Leaded Shade over a decade earlier, attempted to revive the brand. However, the new location and the long hiatus proved to be a disadvantage. Despite advertising "Look Who's Back!", the new bar failed to attract a sustainable crowd and closed after only nine months. After its closure in September 1991, the venue was renamed Rainbow Revue and the Leaded Shade name was permanently retired.
