Garth Brooks‘ fans who can’t be at the March 7 opening of the superstar’s new Nashville bar and honky tonk Friends in Low Places can still experience the excitement through a new Prime Video docuseries.
The six-episode series, Friends in Low Places, chronicles Brooks and his wife Trisha Yearwood as they build the four-story, 54,715-square-foot venue on Nashville’s Lower Broadway. The show, which also debuts March 7, follows the couple, as well as Brooks’ tour team and hospitality group, as they go through the adventures of trying to realize their vision for the club.
“This was so much more than I bargained for! With that said, what we have built is far more than just a business,” Brooks said in a statement. “This is by far the craziest ride I have ever been on.” The singer acquired the property, located at 411 Broadway in Nashville, in December 2021. He performed at the venue on Black Friday last November and the first two floors have been open during weekends for the past several weeks.

“I know this sounds corny: I want it to be the Chick-fil-A of honky-tonks,” Brooks told Billboard in June. “I want it to be a place you feel safe in, I want it to be a place where you feel like there are manners and people like one another. … Our thing is this: If you [are let] into this house, love one another. If you’re an a–hole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway.”
“We started down this road fueled by passion, dedication, and a shared vision,” added Yearwood. “I’m really proud of the team that has built the Friends Bar and Honky Tonk. We are excited to share the culmination of everyone’s efforts. It’s even bigger than we dreamed!” The venue’s menu will feature recipes from Yearwood’s best-selling cookbooks.
The series also follows the travails of hospitality experts Benjamin and Max Goldberg, who oversee all aspects of hospitality at the honky tonk, as well as Jenny Deathride Bratt and Camille Tambunting, heads of Strategic Hospitality and the team on the ground at Friends in Low Places.
Friends in Low Places is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Casey Patterson Entertainment. Brooks, Patterson and Carol Donovan serve as executive producers.
