Florida Georgia Line to Open Restaurant & Entertainment Venue – FGL House

/in /by

Brian Kelley & Tyler Hubbard of Country Duo, Florida Georgia Line, have announced plans for a restaurant, bar and entertainment venue, FGL House to open in downtown Nashville.

Set to open in early summer 2017 in partnership with LRC Group, FGL HOUSE will boast a large rooftop deck with views of the Nashville skyline, dance floor and a stage. Visitors can also enjoy a basement-level lounge complete with its own baby grand piano, cocktail menu inspired by ‘90s pop culture, and specialty martinis.

The four-story attraction on Third Ave. South will feature live music every day of the week including Country Club Tuesdays with Dee Jay Silver. The menu will serve up Southern style food with a California flair and plenty of cocktails, including craft beers and specialty drinks featuring the duo’s own Old Camp Whiskey.

“Around every corner there’s something different, a different vibe, a different feeling,” Kelley tells People. “We’ve got different pictures, local art work, graffiti, it’s a really cool place. We really do believe, like with our whiskey and our songs, you’ll really, really get to know Tyler and me even more. We want our fans to feel like we’re saying, ‘Welcome to our house, this is literally how we roll.’”

With the opening of FGL House, the multi-platinum duo would join Alan Jackson, Dierks Bentley and John Rich as country stars expanding their brands through bars and other venues on Lower Broadway.

FGL House sounds like a Must-See for anyone visiting Nashville. We’re look forward to checking out the spot on our next trip down!
