What started in 2010 as a day spent wasting away in Margaritaville has grown to include 15+ stops on the celebrity-branded Broadway bar tour.

What’s coming

In August, sources told the Nashville Business Journal that Shania Twain will partner with Nashville Underground — a bar owned by singers Joey and Gavin DeGraw. No further details have been shared at this time.

Down the street, Luke Combs’ Category 10 is transforming the former Wildhorse Saloon space with an anticipated November opening. Swipe through the bar’s renderings.

What’s here

Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville | Opened in 2010 | A tropical-themed oasis that shares space with Landshark Bar and Grill.

AJ’s Good Time Bar | Opened in 2016 | It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere when you step into the three-floor venue, which features a sports bar, “Hullbilly Bar” with nightly karaoke, and rooftop.

John Rich’s Redneck Riviera | Opened in 2018 | The main bar called the “Heroes Bar” serves active and retired military + first responders their first round free.

Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Rooftop Bar | Opened in 2018 | The four-level bar offers a Southern-inspired menu and is home to The Wayne D Show.

Luke Bryan’s Luke’s 32 Bridge | Opened in 2018 | Six levels of entertainment space boasting eight bars, four live music stages, and two restaurants in the American National Bank Building.

Beyond Broad

Moving over to Midtown, Riley Green’s Duck Blind now occupies the space formerly home to Winner’s Bar & Grill — but he’s not the only one. Previously, Old Dominion announced plans to open Odie’s at the old Rebar space (1919 Division St.) sometime in 2024.

News Notes
 
Development
  • A Franklin developer is eyeing Central Pike in Hermitage for 227 residential units and 22,000 sqft of commercial space. Plans go before the Metro Planning Department in October, and if approved, would entail mostly townhomes with 39 single-family properties. (Nashville Business Journal)
Closed
  • Germantown’s The Library Cafe has permanently closed, according to Google. The cafe and bookstore at 1319 6th Ave. N. opened in fall 2023, and its Instagram page no longer exists.
Number
  • 118,000. That’s the number of people who attended this year’s record-breaking Freedom Friday event kicking off the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix. In all, 42,000 fans packed Nashville Superspeedway for three days of racing + Nashville resident Colton Herta took home his first-ever oval win.
Watch
  • “Live from Nashville, it’s Saturday Night.” OK, not technically, but two local stars are representing Music City on the first couple episodes of the show’s 50th season. Jelly Roll kicks things off with the Sept. 28 premiere, followed by comedian Nate Bargatze on Oct. 5.

The Michelin Guide revealed seven Tennessee hotels on its second-ever list of one, two, and three-key hotels across the US.

The ranking system is as follows:
  • One key | “A very special stay”
  • Two keys | “An exceptional stay”
  • Three keys | “An extraordinary stay”
Of the seven Tennessee hotels, three of them are located right here in Nashville. The Hermitage Hotel was the only Music City hotel to receive two keys, with the publication saying it “boasts the grandest conference and meeting facilities in the city.” Features like etiquette classes, afternoon tea in the lobby, and the dog walking service were also highlighted.

1 Hotel Nashville and Soho House Nashville rounded out the city’s shoutouts, each with one key. Of note, 1 Hotel’s “stylish in a laid-back way” rooms and suites + Soho House’s historic property with its “inimitable style.”

From the editor
This one’s for all the Vols. If you’re purchasing 2025 season tickets, expect a ~14.5% increase. The price jump can mostly be credited to a new 10% “talent fee,” which contributes to a revenue-sharing pool for players.
