Chris Young Raises a Glass to Nashville’s Newest Sports Bar ‘Famous Friends’ During Star-Studded Launch Event
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 24th, 2026) — Multi-platinum country music star Chris Young is officially preparing to welcome fans through the doors of his highly anticipated new Midtown sports bar, Famous Friends, with the venue set to open to the public today, Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at 11 AM.
Ahead of the grand opening, Young hosted an exclusive VIP celebration on Monday, June 22, bringing together friends, fellow artists, athletes, and entertainment personalities for a first look at Nashville’s newest sports and entertainment destination.
Among those in attendance were FOX‘s Farmer Wants A Wife stars Braden Pridemore and Brett Maverick, former NFL linebacker Miles Burris; Breland and Shaylen, both featured on the deluxe edition of Young’s latest album, I Didn’t Come Here To Leave; and fellow country artists Mitchell Tenpenny and Meghan Patrick.
Located at 1516A Demonbreun Street, just steps from the iconic Tin Roof and in the heart of Nashville’s bustling Midtown district, Famous Friends takes its name from Young’s multi-week No. 1 hit “Famous Friends” and serves as a tribute to the hometown pride, meaningful relationships, and lifelong friendships that have helped shape his career.
“This has been a passion project of mine for a long time. I’ve talked about opening a bar for years, and I wanted to create a true sports bar that still feels like a great place to hang out—even when there’s not a game on. At Famous Friends, we have the ability to show up to seven different games at once, so fans never have to miss the action,” says Chris Young.
The invitation-only celebration gave guests an exclusive first look at the venue’s distinctive blend of sports, entertainment, and Southern hospitality. Throughout the evening, attendees explored the space, enjoyed food and drinks, and experienced the energetic atmosphere that will soon welcome sports fans, locals, and visitors alike.
Designed as a gathering place for friends and fans, Famous Friends combines wall-to-wall game coverage with elevated food and beverage offerings, creating a destination where guests can catch the biggest sporting events, celebrate special occasions, and enjoy Nashville’s vibrant social scene all under one roof.
With its prime Midtown location and uniquely Nashville spirit, Famous Friends is poised to become a go-to destination for game days, nights out, and unforgettable gatherings in the heart of Music City.
