Alan Jackson will have country fans and tourists ready for a good time in downtown Nashville when AJ’s Good Time Bar opens at 421 Broadway. The location was home to The Wheel and The Wheel Cigar Bar. The three-story, 6,000-square-foot venue was purchased for $5.75 million, and will feature a rooftop bar.
“I always wanted to own a honky-tonk that plays real country music on Broadway that I could put my name on,” said Jackson, who is also a partner in the popular downtown restaurant Acme Feed & Seed.
Jackson is the latest country artist to announce a bar in downtown Nashville. Dierks Bentley recently announced plans to open a Whiskey Row establishment in 2017 at 400 Broadway. Big & Rich’s John Rich is also set to open a Redneck Riviera bar at 208-210 Broadway in late 2016.
