Celebrities have descended on Music City to open their own bars and eateries. Scroll through the gallery below to see which country music stars have opened hotspots in Nashville!
Jason Aldean: Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Rooftop Bar

Known For: Well, it’s not actually the food, but the place does serve up Southern-style fare like Nashville hot chicken, burgers and a brisket grilled cheese sandwich.
People Say: “While the first level was a fun place to be, the higher you went, the wilder the party got.”

Blake Shelton: Ole Red
The Vibe: “You come to Ole Red because you’re a fan of music, and you might be hungry and you sure want a drink,” the “The More I Drink” singer said of his multilevel bar/performance/ retail space, adding that it’s what’s happening on stage that matters.
Known For: That said, who could resist dishes like Trash Talkin’ Taco Salad or Kiss My Country Grilled Chicken Sammie? (Not to mention a vodka-based Hillbilly Seltzer!)
People Say: “Beer was cold — what more do you need?”

Alan Jackson: AJ’s Good Time Bar
The Vibe: A true honky-tonk, this place is filled with history — it was once a Civil War hospital and was the home of Bullet Records in the 1940s. Since 2016, it’s housed an Alan Jackson mini museum, with music on multiple floors and a bar that’s a replica of the “Chattahoochee” singer’s beloved fishing boat, Hillbilly.
Known For: The venue offers karaoke night for wannabe stars and, true to its owner, authentic live country music — after all, it’s just a stone’s throw from the historic Ryman Auditorium.
People Say: This place is loud! “Take a pair of earplugs with you.”

Miranda Lambert: Casa Rosa
The Vibe: Decked out in pink and neon, with mirrorball-style horse saddles hanging from the ceiling, the multilevel venue has a bar with live music as well as a restaurant. There’s also a shop peddling plenty of hot pink merch!
Known For: The Texas native, the first female country star to open a bar on Nashville’s famed Broadway, offers up her favorite Tex-Mex food, including birria tacos, carnitas and smoked brisket nachos ($15), as well as margaritas.
People Say: Deeming it the “most Instagram- friendly” spot in the area, The Tennessean called Casa Rosa “Barbiecore doused in ‘Kerosene’ with a side order of ‘Somethin’ Bad.’”

Justin Timberlake: The Twelve Thirty Club
The Vibe: The Memphis native opened a honky-tonk — for visitors with deep pockets. A $6,000 annual membership gets you into the Honorary Member Lounge, among other perks, but there’s a casual restaurant with live music downstairs.
Known For: Pricey, straightforward American fare (think: a 12-oz New York strip steak for $70 or pimento cheese) and a whiskey cart for tableside pours.
