The Kane Brown’s On Broadway Experience
Kane Brown’s On Broadway is the newest name in lights on the strip, and it comes with a full-circle story: it opened in May 2026 inside the former home of The Valentine, the very honky-tonk where Kane spent his early Nashville nights before the arenas came calling. Built in partnership with hospitality group Elia Group, the four-story, 11,400-square-foot venue swaps dive-bar grit for a more polished take on Broadway — without losing the party. The layout gives you four different nights in one building. The main floor is wrapped around a live stage that runs country all day, the mezzanine gets you above the crowd with a straight view of the band, the third floor slows things down with a sleek lounge, and the rooftop swings from daytime brunches to late-night DJ sets over the neon. Whether you’re here for the:- Main-floor stage with live country music every day
- Rooftop bar with DJ sets and views over Broadway
- Sleek third-floor lounge and VIP bottle service
What Sets It Apart
Every celebrity bar on Broadway sells star power, but Kane Brown’s leans into design in a way most of the strip doesn’t. The Elia Group polish shows everywhere — clean sightlines to the stage, an elevator that actually gets you to the rooftop without a stairwell scrum, and a third-floor lounge that feels closer to a cocktail bar than a honky-tonk.
The other thing you can’t copy is the story. Kane didn’t just license his name to a building; he put it on the room where he used to hang out as a broke newcomer. That history, plus being the newest opening on the strip, makes it the bar everyone wants to check off first right now — and the reason lines form early on weekends.
Food & Drinks Deep Dive
The menu is Southern-inspired bar food done with a little more care than the average honky-tonk kitchen — the chicken tenders are the early crowd favorite that keeps coming up in reviews, and the handcrafted cocktail list runs deeper than the usual vodka-soda assembly line. Considering the celebrity name over the door, prices land surprisingly easy; Google pegs it in the budget-friendly tier, which is rare air for Lower Broadway.
Upstairs is where the splurge lives: bottle service and VIP setups on the lounge and rooftop levels for groups that want to plant a flag for the night. If you’re planning dinner rather than just drinks, reservations are on OpenTable — almost unheard of for a Broadway bar, and worth using on weekends.
Standout Menu Items:
- Chicken tenders — the early fan favorite
- Handcrafted signature cocktails
- Southern-inspired shareables and bar plates
Service & Scene
For a bar this new, the service is finding its groove fast — the bartenders get called out by name in reviews, and the staff keeps drinks moving even when the main floor packs out. The crowd is exactly what you’d expect from Broadway’s newest opening: Kane Brown fans making the pilgrimage, bachelorette groups working the rooftop, and locals scoping out the new build.
Weekends get loud and busy from the 10 AM open onward, with the energy peaking after dark when the rooftop DJ takes over. If you want the polished-lounge version of the experience instead of the party version, aim for a weekday evening on the third floor.
First Impressions: Location and Atmosphere
You’re at 312 Broadway, dead center of the neon — Casa Rosa next door, Ole Red across the street, honky-tonks in every direction. From the sidewalk, the four-story build reads more modern than most of the block, and inside the design carries it: warm wood, clean lines, and a stage that anchors the whole main floor.
Work your way up and each level shifts the mood — mezzanine for watching the band, lounge for conversation, rooftop for the skyline. It’s one of the few bars on the strip where the top floor genuinely feels like a different venue than the bottom one.

- Rooftop and skyline-view seekers
- Anyone checking out Broadway’s newest opening

Planning Your Visit
Doors open at 11 AM most days (10 AM Friday and Saturday) and run until 2 AM. Weekend nights are the peak scene; weekday afternoons are the relaxed version. Reservations via OpenTable are worth grabbing for dinner, and groups can ask about bottle service on the lounge and rooftop levels. Parking on Broadway itself is a long shot — use the 3rd Ave garages or rideshare. Dress code is casual, and the rooftop is the photo op, so time it for golden hour if you can.
The Bottom Line
4.4 out of 5 Stars
Kane Brown’s On Broadway is Nashville’s newest must-visit — four polished floors of live country, a rooftop worth the elevator ride, and star power with a genuine hometown story.
