Is Kane Brown The Next Country Star To Open A Bar On Broadway?

Will Kane Brown be the next artist to open a bar on Nashville’s Lower Broadway?

Speculation is swirling among fans that Kane Brown may be the latest country star to put his name on a Nashville Broadway venue. Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice Brown’s distinct tattoos in a new video teaser posted by The Valentine Nashville on Instagram.

The clip shows a man driving a sports car down Broadway, pulling up to the venue, and being greeted by a flurry of flashing lights as he steps out of the car. When the video cuts to a close-up of his hands, Brown’s iconic tattoos are unmistakable, sending social media buzzing with speculation about the superstar’s involvement. The clip concludes with the text “Powered By Elia”, hinting at a collaboration with the hospitality group behind the project.

According to a 2024 report from The Tennessean, Elia Group announced plans to acquire and open 10 restaurants and bars in the Nashville area by 2027, starting with The Valentine, located at 312 Broadway.

Further fueling the rumors, WhatNow.com reported that The Valentine had closed for “major renovations” last fall, with plans to reopen in Spring 2026 alongside a “celebrity partner.” 

At the time, an employee revealed that the bar’s temporary closure followed a buyout by Elia Group and that renovations were expected to last four to six months. She also confirmed that there was an artist involved, however, did not mention his/her name. 

“Nashville is a city with soul, and Elia Group is honored to continue becoming a part of its story,” Zaid Elia, founder and CEO of the Elia Group, said in an official release. “Through the renovation of The Valentine, we’re not just revitalizing a space — we’re investing in the local culture, the people, and the energy that make this city unique. Our vision is to create welcoming destinations that serve as a reflection of the community and contribute meaningfully to its continued growth.”
