After three decades of line dancing, an iconic Music City venue is closing its doors.
The Wildhorse Saloon kicked off 2024 by announcing the venue would be entering a new chapter.

“As we step into this promising era, let’s raise a glass to the past and toast to the brilliant future ahead. Our heartfelt thanks to patrons, artists, staff, and everyone who contributed to making Wildhorse Saloon the legend it is today,” read a Monday Facebook post. “We extend our deepest gratitude to all who graced our stage, danced on our dance floor, and sang along to the music.”
Since 1994, the bar has welcomed stars like Etta James, Ringo Starr, Darius Rucker, and Little Big Town among others. It’s also the place where former Nashville Mayor Phil Bredesen and former Houston Oilers owner Bud Adams sold business and civic leaders on a plan that would ultimately bring an NFL franchise to Nashville.

It also hosted regular Rotary Club and other meetings as well as local radio broadcasts and regular tapings for now-defunct TV station The Nashville Network.
Taking the place of Wildhorse Saloon will be a new concert hall and honky-tonk bar from country music star Luke Combs, as he joins the ever-growing list of musicians to open bars in Nashville.

New Luke Combs bar set to replace Wildhorse Saloon
The new bar is developed by Opry Entertainment Group, the same company behind the Ryman Auditorium, the Grand Ole Opry and Blake Shelton’s Ole Red bar.
“[Nashville] is such a destination now,” Combs told The Tennessean back in April. “It’s kinda like redneck Vegas a little bit down here, you know what I mean? This space has an opportunity to scratch more than one itch for people. It’s not just a bar. It’s not just a concert venue. It’s not just a sports bar. With the space, it can check a lot of boxes for a lot of different people.”

Combs plans to feature touring lineups and headlining locals while also making room for fostering up and coming talent.
Here is what else is in store for the Combs’ four-story bar:
- A 250-person honky-tonk space on the first floor;
- A two-story ticketed concert hall that holds up to 1,500 showgoers;
- A third-story sports bar catering to legalized sports betting;
- Nods to Combs’ fandom, including a bachelorette-themed area named after his hit song “Beautiful Crazy” and a section dedicated to his followers, the “Bootleggers”;
- An additional bar for high-end bourbon drinkers;
- “The Still” and songwriter’s lounge, a second-story bar nodding to Combs’ backstage hangout space of the same name;
- A 9,000-square-foot indoor-outdoor rooftop named the “Eye,” in reference to Combs’ aforementioned debut single “Hurricane.”
According to Colin Reed, executive chairman of Ryman Hospitalities, organizers hope to open the bar by mid-2024.
