Every country music star bar in Nashville: From Jelly Roll to Jason Aldean's

5 August 2025, 09:52

Blake Shelton, Morgan Wallen, Lainey Wilson and many more have must-visit watering holes in Lower Broadway.

Country music stars often like to make their home in Nashville, and recently, Music City has also become an attractive spot to set up a business.

While old favourites like Tootsies, Robert’s and Legends Corner will hopefully always have a special place along Broadway, now more and more famous names are adding to the city’s bustling entertainment district.

With stars like Post Malone, Jelly Roll and Dolly Parton the latest to add venues to the home of country’s late-night scene, here's a rundown of every star bar currently in Nashville...

1. Eric Church – Chief’s on Broadway

   

   Eric opened up his six-storey Broadway music venue and bar in April 2024. It is open daily from 10am to 3am, with special perks for members of the ‘Guys Like Me’ star’s Church Choir.

2. Ashley McBryde – Redemption Bar

   

   Ashley McBryde will open a country star bar with a difference on Friday, August 28.

   On the fifth floor of Eric Church's Chief's she will open Redemption Bar, a venue inspired by her sobriety journey.

   While the menu will focus on zero-proof cocktails, its inclusive aim means alcoholic drinks will still be on the menu.

   "Everyone is welcome," Ashley said while announcing the personal project.

3. Luke Combs – Category 10

   

   A little off Lower Broadway, Luke Combs’ Category 10 opened in February 2025. It boasts: “live music, line dancing, light shows, southern eats, cold drinks [and] rooftop views,” and is open all week (times vary).

4. Jelly Roll – Goodnight Nashville

   

   Jelly Roll’s Goodnight Nashville also arrived in Nashville in early 2025. Situated on the Broadway, the venue is the ‘Need a Favor’ artist’s “love letter to his hometown” and has its own tattoo shop as well as bar, restaurant and performance space.

6. Kid Rock – Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk and Rock N’ Roll Steakhouse

   

   Boasting one of the longest names on Broadway, Kid Rock’s venue opened its doors in 2018. The singer opened another restaurant, The Detroit Cowboy, in June 2025.

7. Luke Bryan – Luke’s 32 Bridge

   

   Opened in July 2018, Luke’s 32 Bridge set a precedent others would follow when it became Nashville’s first six-floor entertainment venue to open up on Broadway. Luke was inspired to get a place on Broadway due to fond memories of playing several of its bars early in his career.
