Garth Brooks Provides Long-Awaited Update About New Business Venture
Garth Brooks
Garth Brooks' highly-anticipated Nashville bar finally has an opening date!
The 61-year-old country crooner announced on Monday that his Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk will open in Nashville next month, with the grand reveal taking place on Friday, Nov. 24, coinciding with Black Friday.
"How do you open a Friends in Low Places bar??? With a Garth concert! This is going to be off the chain," Brooks said in a statement. "Black Friday, brand new bar, in the home of Country Music...Hollywood couldn't write a better script. I can NOT wait!"
But given the crowd, an opening night intimate concert from the Grammy winner will presumably draw, not to mention the limited space, fans only have one way into the concert–by winning tickets.

The Oklahoma-born singer-songwriter explained how fans could do so in a video shared on social media, titled "From Habitats to Honky-Tonks."
In the 30-minute clip, Brooks is joined by his wife of 18 years and fellow country star Trisha Yearwood, as the two documented their efforts leading The Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project with Habitat for Humanity, which took place between Oct. 1-6 this year, to renovate, repair, and build homes for those in need.
About two minutes in and before speaking about the house-building project, the "What She's Doing Now" singer addressed the long-awaited update: the opening of his bar.
"We are opening the Friends in Low Places Bar, Black Friday, with a dive bar show there. I don't know if you have caught dive bars across the nation. If you have, there's a few of you because I think they only hold 70 [people] or something like that. So these dive bars are really rare to get into," he said before explaining that the ticketing process would work just as it had in the past: via radio station giveaways.
Fans interested in attending the bar's historic event can win tickets by listening to The BIG 615 radio station on TuneIn, per the statement.
Brooks also spoke about his and Yearwood's new role with the project earlier this year, saying, “Though we could never fill their shoes, we are so incredibly honored to be given the opportunity to carry President and Mrs. Carter’s legacy forward through the continuation of the Carter Work Project.”
