Garth Brooks made a huge announcement on Monday (Oct. 9) about his long-awaited downtown Nashville restaurant and bar. Friends in Low Places' grand opening next month will coincide with a free Brooks concert at the venue on Black Friday (Nov. 24).
"How do you open a Friends in Low Places bar??? With a Garth concert!" Brooks shared in a press release. "This is going to be off the chain. Black Friday, brand new bar, in the home of country music...Hollywood couldn't write a better script. I can not wait!"
Tickets can be procured one way: by listening to Brooks' online country station, The Big 615, via TuneIn. Details will be shared on the station of how to apply on Oct. 16.
Brooks is treating it as a Dive Bar concert, following the shows he's played in recent years at smaller venues in conjunction with his 2020 Blake Shelton collaboration "Dive Bar."
During a June conversation at the inaugural Billboard Country Live in Conversation, the Country Music Hall of Famer said that, above all, he wants his Lower Broadway bar, located at 411 Broadway, to be a place where everyone feels welcomed and loved. Brooks also added that his bar would serve "every kind of beer," seemingly referencing Lower Broadway venues that removed Bud Light from their shelves after the brand partnered with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
"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," Brooks said. "And yes, we're going to serve every brand of beer. We just are. It's not our decision to make. 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."
