Lainey Wilson Sets Opening Date for Nashville Bar

Lainey Wilson, the reigning entertainer of the year at both the Academy of Country Music Awards and the Country Music Association Awards, has set an opening date for her new Nashville bar.

Wilson’s Bell Bottoms Up Bar, located at 120 South 3rd Ave., will open May 31 — the same day Wilson launches her Country’s Cool Again Tour with two headlining shows at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater.

The Bell Bottoms Up bar will feature two stages, four bars and a mezzanine floor, while the rooftop level will feature 1970s western-inspired details, a dance floor, disco-inspired decor and frozen drinks. The three-story, 27,000-square-foot venue will open in partnership with TC Restaurant Group, the business that has also helped launch Miranda Lambert’s Casa Rosa, Luke Bryan’s 32 Bridge Food + Drink and Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Rooftop Bar.

In revealing the upcoming bar and giving fans a sneak peek via social media, the singer-songwriter said, “Yank up them britches and make plans to check it out on Broadway before my Country’s Cool Again tour kicks off that weekend in Nashville!”

Wilson also previously said in a statement, “I’ve always wanted to create a destination for all my fans to visit and create new memories at, in the heart of country music city. So, to have a permanent destination in Nashville, is such a dream come true. I can’t wait for all my Wild Horses to get to experience my home away from home.”

Wilson, the cover star for Billboard’s recent Country Power Players issue, is set to release her latest album Broken Bow, Whirlwind, on Aug. 23. She previously told Billboard the album is “the Western sister of Bell Bottom Country.” She added, “I feel like it’s got a little bit more character [and] cinematic storytelling.” She is working on the album with Jay Joyce, the same producer behind her 2022 album Bell Bottom Country and its predecessor, 2021’s Sayin’ What I’m Thinkin’.
