Morgan Wallen Reveals the Opening Date of His Nashville Bar
Morgan Wallen‘s Nashville bar will soon be open for business, according to the “Last Night” hitmaker. During his headlining set at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium on Saturday (May 4), the country music star revealed that his Morgan Wallen’s This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen will open on Memorial Day weekend.
“It’s over off fourth avenue just beside the Ryman [Auditorium], and it’s going to be opening Memorial Day weekend, so I hope I see y’all there,” Wallen told the crowd at one point.
The official Instagram page for the bar and restaurant also shared video of Wallen making the announcement. See below.
Wallen’s Nissan Stadium show marked his last of three consecutive sold-out concerts at the stadium over the weekend, as part of his One Night at a Time World Tour.
Knoxville-area native Wallen’s six-story This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen is set to include three live music stages, as well as an open-air rooftop. For the venue, Wallen teamed with TC Restaurant Group, known for other downtown Nashville celebrity bars, including FGL House, Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Rooftop Bar, Miranda Lambert’s Casa Rosa and Luke Bryan’s Luke’s 32 Bridge Food+Drink.
Each floor of the venue will highlight memorabilia and photos from Wallen’s life and career thus far, while the menu will be curated by Wallen with chef Tomasz Wosiak, VP of culinary development for TC Restaurant Group. The menu will feature not only some of Wallen’s mother’s recipes, but also various bar bites and Southern-flared favorites.
“I sing about finding myself in ‘This Bar,’ and now it’s coming to life. This venue will hold true to everything I love and is inspired by my fans and the way they have embraced me and my music,” Wallen said in a statement when the bar and restaurant was first announced. “We’re designing a menu around some of my family favorites, so it brings a piece of East Tennessee to Music City. I hope This Bar is a place you’ll want to find yourself in and make memories with your friends and family and celebrate the way country music has brought us all together.”
