Friends in Low Places

About Friends in Low Places

Friends in Low Places opened in March 2024 and is Garth Brooks’ bar, named after one of the biggest songs he ever recorded. At roughly 54,715 square feet it is the largest honky-tonk on Broadway, which is saying something on a street full of mega-bars.

It runs four floors. The first two are built as a tribute to the classic honky-tonk, with serious sound and video systems and two main live-music stages. The third floor is private event space. On top is a rooftop called The Oasis, done in a beach theme that has nothing to do with country and everything to do with giving the crowd somewhere bright to land. The food menu is curated by Trisha Yearwood. One genuinely unusual detail: the building contains a Metro Nashville Police substation, the only Broadway bar that can say that.

This is a high-production, all-ages-friendly honky-tonk built for scale and for Garth Brooks fans. If you want the biggest room on the street with a destination rooftop and a recognizable name behind it, this is it. If you want something small and old-school, it is the opposite of that.
