NASHtoday staff here. We receive hundreds of thank you emails every week, and often you ask how you can support us. That’s why we’ve created this campaign with a goal to raise $2,500 by the end of the week. If you’ve gotten something out of being subscribed to NASHtoday, like finding that life-changing concert in our Events section. Or using our City Guides to plan the perfect way to spend the day with family, we couldn’t be more honored to be a part of your life — and we’re calling on you now to help support our mission.
Ready, set, feast

... Luke Combs’ Category 10 is officially complete.
The Eye made its debut Friday boasting two bars, full-service dining, a stage (check out the lineup), and VIP cabana areas on the fifth floor rooftop. Indoor and outdoor seating options promise Cumberland River and Nissan Stadium views.
Much like the venue’s four floors that opened in November, the space is decorated in album artwork, nods to The Bootleggers fan club, and even features a 12-ft mural celebrating Combs’ No. 1 debut hit single “Hurricane.”
As for the menu, The Eye serves some of the bar’s fan-favorite apps like pepperoni rollers + signature flatbreads. Pair your meal with a frozen version of “The Hurricane,” which is exclusive to this level and made with rum, Ole Smoky moonshine, and passion fruit purée.
