Lainey Wilson Celebrates Grand Opening Of Bell Bottoms Up With Ribbon Cutting Ceremony & Rooftop Performance

Lainey Wilson saw yet another dream become a reality last night while celebrating the grand opening of her very own bar on Nashville’s lower Broadway – Bell Bottoms Up.

The 27,000-square-foot venue opened in Music City in late May, just in time for CMA Fest to take over the downtown area. That weekend, Wilson hosted an eight-hour meet-and-greet with fans inside the bar, which is located at 120 Third Avenue South, and has made several appearances since, including last night’s milestone evening.

Fans flooded the streets in front of the establishment as they watched the “Country’s Cool Again” singer kick off the Grand Opening event by cutting the venue ribbon. Then she stepped inside and delivered an epic performance on the rooftop stage with a setlist featuring some of her biggest hits like “Watermelon Moonshine,” “Heart Like a Truck,” “4x4xU,” and “Hang Tight Honey.” 

The night also brought a bit of fashionable fun as it featured a sneak peek of Wilson’s forthcoming collaboration with the iconic denim brand Wrangler, showcasing select signature pieces from the collection set to launch on Sept. 25. The evening’s VIP guest list included fellow Country Music stars, industry professionals, Nashville City Officials, and DJs.

“Bell Bottoms Up is a dream come true,” Wilson said in a recent statement. “Every time I’m in Nashville it’s where I want to be, because it’s a place my ‘Wild Horses’ can call home. I’m living my own honky-tonk dream, and to celebrate the opening of a honky-tonk of my own is truly something special. I hope to see y’all there soon!”

The three-story venue includes two stages with four bars, a lounge space on the mezzanine level called Neon Diamonds that overlooks the first-floor stage and dining area, and a ’70s Western-themed rooftop level with a dancefloor, disco-inspired décor, and frozen daiquiri cocktails. Wilson also made sure to honor her roots by bringing a bit of Louisiana to Nashville with Cajun-inspired bites, entrees, and bar food.

Fans will also find many tributes to Wilson’s career throughout the establishment with dazzling bell-bottom décor, framed outfits from some of her top performances, and much more of her unique flair. Sitting right next door is Bayou Keys, Nashville’s newest dueling piano bar, which also pays tribute to Wilson’s heritage as New Orleans is home to the first dueling piano bar. 

Bell Bottoms Up and Bayou Keys are owned and operated by TC Restaurant Group, which serves as the leading operator and partner for dining and entertainment venues in Downtown Nashville.

It has been just a few weeks since thr reigning ACM and CMA Entertainer of the Year dropped her newest album, Whirlwind, which she deems to be some of the “best stuff” that she’s ever done.  Fans can catch Lainey Wilson celebrating these tracks on her Country’s Cool Again Tour, as she hits stage across the country through November.
