The multi-level venue by the country star and Opry Entertainment Group will open in the downtown space formerly home to Wildhorse Saloon.

We’ve caught wind that Luke Combs’ downtown bar is set to make landfall this summer as a Category 10.

Inspired by Combs’ chart-topping hit “Hurricane,” Category 10 will span 67,000 sqft and feature five entertainment concepts influenced by the artist’s music and interests:

  • The Honky-Tonk | Street-level honky tonk with live music
  • The Main Stage | Stage and dance floor for ticketed events, line-dance lessons, and more
  • The Sports Bar | Major sports playing year-round
  • The Still | Wide selection of bourbon and performances by singer-songwriters
  • The Eye | 7,000-sqft rooftop facing the Cumberland River and Nissan Stadium

The venue is expected to open in phases at 120 2nd Ave. N. — the former Wildhorse Saloon space. For now, let’s swipe through more views of the space.
