A Guide to Nashville Bars: Country Stars Edition
Lower Broadway is home to a ton of bars and restaurants. Some of those bars are owned by your favorite country artists. That’s right, country stars own actual bars that you can visit!
Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, and more have all put their stamp on bars along the most popular tourist stop in Music City: Broadway.
Broadway is a major thoroughfare in the downtown area of Nashville, Tennessee. There’s Lower Broadway, which is an entertainment district renowned for honky tonks and live country music. The street is also home to retail shops, restaurants, dessert spots, tourist attractions, and a few hotels.
Lower Broadway is also known as Honky Tonk Highway. What is a Honky Tonk? It’s an establishment that contains at least one rockin’ stage, cold beverages, and live music that lasts all day.
If you’re looking for menus inspired by your favorite artists, live music, or a dang good drink, hit up any of these places.
A Guide to Nashville Bars
We decided to make this guide for those of you planning to hit up the iconic country haven. Honky Tonks are an essential Nashville experience, so why not hit up ones owned by your favorite country stars?
Use this list as your official (unofficial) guide to Lower Broadway.
A good thing to note, too, is that none of these bars have cover charges. Isn’t that great? You can stop on by and not break the bank. Heck, visit all of them! In one night! It can (maybe, if you’re up for it) be done.
Here’s a guide to all the celebrity-owned honkytonks on Broadway.
Lainey Wilson's Bell Bottoms Up
This bar took over the footprint of FGL House. Think country disco as the decor. Lots of bell bottoms and sparkle. This 3-story location is more than a bar, it is a restaurant, has a rooftop area, and is a live music venue.
Morgan Wallen's This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen
Located behind Dierks Bentley’s bar on 4th Ave N. and Broadway, Morgan Wallen’s This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen is now open. The bar boasts three stages for live music. Their menu features various options, from salads to biscuits and gravy to shrimp tacos. This all-ages bar & restaurant is an homage to Morgan’s love of his home state of Tennessee.
