Lainey Wilson’s Bell Bottoms Up To Take Over FGL House Nashville Location

It’s girls night out in Nashville with the second female artist-branded bar in Nashville.

Multi-Platinum Grammy winner Lainey Wilson is set to open Bell Bottoms Up this summer in partnerships with TC Restaurant Group in the former FGL House.

The new three-story entertainment destination located on lower Broadway will lean into Wilson’s signature flair, rural Louisiana upbringing and western pride. The 27,000-square-foot venue will have two stages, four bars and a mezzanine floor that features a lounge bar that overlooks the first-floor stage and dining area, with a Cajun inspired menu including crawfish, shrimp boils and boudin. The rooftop features a ’70s western theme and cowgirl favorites including whiskey.  

“I’ve always wanted to create a destination for all my fans to visit and create new memories at, in the heart of country music city,” said Wilson in a release. “So, to have a permanent destination in Nashville, is such a dream come true. I can’t wait for all my Wild Horses to get to experience my home away from home.” 

The site of Bell Bottoms Up was the former location of Florida Georgia Line imprint FGL House, which opened in 2017. Namesakes Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley disbanded in 2022 and the bar closed a week ago. Nashville has plenty of other imprints, but only one other anchored by a female artist, Miranda Lambert’s Tex-Mex themed Casa Rosa (Pink House), which opened in 2021 and is also operated by TC Restaurant Group.

“Fans gravitate to Lainey because of her authentic, down-to-earth personality, and Bell Bottoms Up will be a representation of her character and legacy,” said Grant Burlingame, vice president of operations at TC Restaurant Group. “Lainey Wilson is one of the biggest names in country music, and we’re proud to partner with her on a venue that celebrates her genuine mark on the industry and brings another female artist to the forefront of Nashville’s Entertainment District.”

Nearly 10 years to the day after leaving her small farming community in a camper trailer to chase her dreams in Nashville, Wilson earned her first Platinum-certified song with “Things A Man Oughta Know.” Since then, the singer/songwriter has made her acting debut in season five of “Yellowstone” and taken her music worldwide with headlining shows in Europe, the U.K. and Australia. This summer she is headlining her North American “Country’s Cool Again Tour.”

TC Restaurant Group operates and partners in multiple entertainment and dining venues in downtown Nashville, Pittsburgh and Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Concepts include Jason Aldean’s Kitchen and Rooftop Bar, LUKE’S 32 BRIDGE, Miranda Lambert’s Casa Rosa, Morgan Wallen’s This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen, Tequila Cowboy, Wanna B’s Karaoke Bar, Luigi’s City Pizza, Sun Diner and It’s a Nashville Thing, Y’all Gift Shop.
