Will Pay Tribute To His East Tennessee Roots
This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen will pay homage to Wallen’s East Tennessee roots and will incorporate pivotal moments that shaped Wallen’s life. Each level of the venue will feature photographs and memorabilia from his childhood through current years, as well as highlights from some of his most notable performances to date.
“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 shared of his forthcoming Nashville Bar.
Constructed from the ground up, This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen aims to provide an unparalleled experience on 4th Avenue, situated near the famous Ryman Auditorium just off Broadway in the vibrant heart of Music City. Spanning around 30,000 square feet, the venue will boast three live music stages, six bars, and an open-air rooftop.
Menu Will Feature Recipes From Mama Wallen’s Kitchen
Wallen, along with Chef Tomasz Wosiak, Vice President of Culinary Development for TC Restaurant Group, will craft the menu for the establishment. The offerings will include a selection of southern delicacies, bar bites, Tennessee favorites, and some recipes straight from Mama Wallen‘s kitchen.
“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,” Wallen added.
Additionally, This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen will feature a gift shop with exclusive Morgan Wallen merchandise and, yes, even an homage to his favorite Tennessee team — The Tennessee Volunteers.
Name Inspired By Wallen’s Song, “This Bar”
The bar takes its namesake from his song, “This Bar,” a fan-favorite track written by HARDY, Jackson Morgan, Jake Scott, ERNEST and Ryan Vojtesak that appears on his record-breaking sophomore project, Dangerous: The Double Album.
