Wallen has partnered with Broadway owner and operator TC Restaurant Group. Together, they aim to bring Wallen’s vision to fruition, promising an authentic experience reflective of his persona and unparalleled in the market.
“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,” said Wallen. “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.”
Since embarking on his musical journey, Wallen has predominantly connected with his fans through live shows on the road. This Bar serves as an extension of the East Tennessee native’s life, paying tribute to his roots and incorporating pivotal elements that have shaped his journey. Each level of the venue will showcase photos and memorabilia from Wallen’s childhood, along with highlights from some of his most memorable performances.
Situated on 4th Avenue, adjacent to the historic Ryman Auditorium just off Broadway in the heart of Music City, This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen is meticulously designed and constructed from the ground up to offer a distinctive experience. Spanning approximately 30,000 square feet, the venue boasts three live music stages, six bars, and an open-air rooftop.
