Morgan Wallen’s This Bar Experience

I’ll be honest – I was skeptical about another celebrity bar opening in Nashville. But after spending several evenings at Morgan Wallen’s This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen since it opened on June 1, 2024, I’ve got to admit: this place surprised me. Located on 4th Ave. right in between Broadway and the legendary Ryman Auditorium, This Bar is a homage to Morgan’s love of all things Tennessee and the fans that have embraced him and his music. But does it actually deliver on that promise, or is it just another overpriced tourist trap?
  • Six-story venue with different experiences on each floor
  • Authentic Tennessee Kitchen with regional cuisine
  • Prime location near Ryman Auditorium
  • Live music and entertainment throughout

What Sets It Apart

The Nashville Advantage

What genuinely sets This Bar apart is the sheer scale of it. Six floors means you can find your vibe without fighting crowds on every level. Want to party? Hit the main floor. Need to actually have a conversation? Head upstairs. Want rooftop views? They’ve got you covered. The Tennessee Kitchen concept isn’t just marketing speak either. Designed around some of Morgan’s family favorites, the menu brings a piece of East Tennessee to Music City. You can tell there’s actual thought behind the food program here – it’s not just typical bar fare.

Accessibility and Convenience

Located at 107 4th Ave N, Nashville, TN 37219, This Bar offers perfect positioning near the Ryman Auditorium. You can literally walk from one of country music’s most historic venues to one of its newest. That proximity creates some cool pre-show and post-show opportunities.

Food & Drinks Deep Dive

I was genuinely surprised by the food quality. The Tennessee Kitchen isn’t just a gimmick – they’re serving legitimate Southern cuisine. The BBQ is solid, the sides are authentic, and portions are generous.

Standout Menu Items:

  • Southern Nachos – $23 Waffle fries, queso, brisket burnt ends, pico, BBQ sauce.

  • Tailgate Wings (GF) – $18 Jumbo crispy chicken wings with dry rub, celery, ranch.

  • Classic Smashed Cheeseburger – $21 Wagyu beef, American cheese, onion, pickle, house sauce.

  • TN Hot Chicken Mac N’ Cheese – $21 Nashville hot chicken with creamy smoked cheddar mac.

  • Braised Beef Short Rib (GF) – $29 Whiskey pan gravy, cheddar grits, seasonal greens.

Drinks are what you’d expect from a Broadway establishment – not cheap, but the Tennessee whiskey selection is impressive. The bartenders can actually talk you through local distilleries if you’re interested in learning. Price Point Reality Check: Yeah, it’s expensive. Plan on spending $15-20 per drink, $25-35 per entree. It’s Broadway pricing with celebrity markup. But you’re paying for the experience, the location, and honestly, the quality is there to back it up.

Service & Scene

The service really depends on timing and expectations. During slower periods, the staff is attentive and knowledgeable. During peak hours? It’s survival of the fittest. Service varies wildly depending on which floor you’re on and how busy it is. The crowd skews young and touristy, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing – the energy is great. Think bachelorette parties, tourists, and people who are here for the full Morgan Wallen experience. If you’re looking for a “local Nashville” experience, you might want to hit some smaller venues too.

First Impressions: Location and Atmosphere

The six-story venue is a combined bar, restaurant, and live music concept in Nashville’s Lower Broadway district and is located near the Ryman Auditorium at 107 4th Avenue North. You literally can’t miss it – it’s this massive building that towers over everything else in the area. Walking in for the first time, I was struck by how much thought went into the design. This isn’t some thrown-together celebrity cash grab. The Tennessee theme feels authentic, not forced. Each floor has its own personality, and honestly, the space is bigger than you’d expect from the outside.

The six-story format is genuinely unique for the area. Each floor offers a different experience:

  • Main Floor: High-energy atmosphere with live music and central bar
  • Multiple Levels: Different vibes from party atmosphere to conversation spaces
  • Rooftop Area: Downtown Nashville views with more relaxed atmosphere
