Bon Jovi has partnered with the Nashville-based company, Big Plan Holdings, which acquired the 36,767 sq. ft bar, restaurant, and entertainment venue at the top of the year. JBJ’s Nashville will have two fifth-story outdoor rooftop decks and entrances on both Broadway and 4th Avenue.

An opening date for JBJ’s Nashville has yet to be announced, however, a video clip was shared to Instagram captioned, “A legend is coming to Broadway. @jonbonjovi and @bonjovi in Music City. Stay tuned… #JBJNash.”

The JBJ’s Nashville website states the following on the new five-story venue, “Discover a state-of-the-art fusion of rock ‘n’ roll and country at JBJ’s Nashville – a ground breaking venue brought to Nashville by the legendary Jon Bon Jovi and BPH Hospitality.”

“We’re looking forward to having a place in Nashville that we call home.  When Big Plan Holdings and the team of Josh and Tara Joseph asked us if we were interested, it wasn’t because we were just another rock band, it was because we are a band with deep roots in Nashville.  We have had wonderful times in Nashville recording several albums and working with some of the finest people in all the music business.  I can’t wait to toast all of Broadway and get to know our neighbors!” said Jon Bon Jovi in a press statement.

The news of JBJ’s Nashville follows the MusiCares Person of the Year gala in Los Angeles earlier this month which honored Jon Bon Jovi. He posted a series of photos on social media with those in attendance including his band, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Jelly Roll, and more.

To top it off, Bon Jovi recently unveiled Backstage With Bon Jovi, which was two years in the making and celebrates their “incredible 40-year journey.” It features images, artifacts, audio, video, and much more while fans get to “explore the legacy of Bon Jovi.”

Bon Jovi joins fellow musicians and celebrities with Honky Tonks on Lower Broadway including Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Kid Rock, and Dierks Bentley, among others.

11 Great Country Songs About Drinking: Tim, Miranda, and More

• 11 – Willie Nelson – “Whiskey River” (1973)

  Share

  This is a true classic. Released in 1973 on Willie's "Shotgun Willie" album, it was one that Nelson did not write but has become one of his signature career songs.

• 10 – Blake Shelton – “The More I Drink” (2007)

  Share

  The video for this song begins with many heavily intoxicated bar patrons getting arrested (including Blake) and getting into a fight. Blake starts the song in a police booking room before the scene cuts to the bar patrons getting rowdy and drunk at a local bar.

• 9 – Brad Paisley – “Alcohol” (2005)

  Share

  Brad wrote this song, and it is one of his biggest hits—an interesting song coming from Paisley, who does not and has never drunk alcohol.
• 8 – Lady A – “Bartender” (2014)

  Share

  A catchy song written by all three members of Lady A. The trio debuted the song during the "American Idol" season thirteen finale on May 21, 2014.

• 7 – Eric Church – “Drink In My Hand” (2011)

  Share

  This fun drinking song became Church's first number-one hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Eric co-wrote the song that appeared on his breakthrough "Chief" album.

• 6 – Toby Keith’s “Red Solo Cup” (2011)

  Share

  This song came off Toby's album "Clancy's Tavern" album and is the only song on the album that Keith did not write or co-write. It was ranked by "Insider" as the second worst song of the 2010s decade, and Toby himself called it "the stupidest song I ever heard in my life." Regardless of its reviews, it was a big ol' hit and became a drinking anthem.
• 5 – Little Big Town – “Day Drinking” (2014)

  Share

  This fun song was released as the lead single from LBT's sixth studio album, "Pain Killer." The group debuted the song at the CMT Music Awards on June 4, 2014.

• 4 – Chris Stapleton – “Tennessee Whiskey” (2015)

  Share

  This is the song that made Chris a superstar. Stapleton performed it at the Country Music Association (CMA) Awards as a duet with Justin Timberlake. The performance was described as the best moment of the night. Yeah, it was! But Chris wasn't the first to record it: David Allen Coe and George Jones both didn't versions of the song decades before Chris.

• 3 – Dierks Bentley – “Drunk On A Plane” (2014)

  Share

  Dierks co-wrote this instant classic about a man who is left behind at the altar and takes a trip to Cancún by himself after he is unable to obtain a refund for the airplane tickets he had purchased for a honeymoon. The video for the song won Music Video of the Year at the 2014 CMA Awards.
• 2 – Luke Combs – “Beer Never Broke My Heart” (2019)

  Share

  Maybe the perfect drinking song. It's the song Luke Combs' fans in stadiums wait all night to hear at the end of his shows. In the video, Combs performs in a small dive bar, similar to gigs he played early in his career.

• 1 – Miranda Lambert/Elle King – “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” (2021)

  Share

  This song went all the way to number one on the country charts and even got a Grammy nomination. It brought Elle King into country music full-time and is just a great drinking song.
