Garth Brooks' new bar "Friends in Low Places had its grand opening Thursday night on lower Broadway.

FOX 17 News got a sneak peak of all four floors of the country star's bar Thursday morning. The bar opened to the public at 7 p.m. Thursday.

The grand opening comes after the country singer had a soft-opening with a Black Friday concert in November 2023.

Brooks said he can't wait for the fans to see the place because they will notice all the details that some Broadway goers may overlook.

“They’re me and I’m them,” Brooks said about his fans. “They’ll know the touches or taste this food and go ‘Oh my god, have you seen the size of Garth, I know he loves this.' They know me inside and out, so I think that’s gonna be my thing.”

On Thursday, all four floors of the venue were revealed. The 54,715 square-foot space will be the largest honky tonk in lower Broadway, also called the Neon Neighborhood, coined by Brooks himself.

The first two floors of the venue pay tribute to classic honky tonks with the most advanced audio-visual technology and a unique live music stage. The third floor of the bar offers intimate private event spaces, mimicking the comfort of Brooks' and Yearwood's own home.

The fourth floor features the largest rooftop in the Neon Neighborhood. You will be transformed into a beach-themed experience with spectacular views and 10-foot palm trees.

The southern bites at the new honky tonk will also feature menus created by Yearwood herself. The food menu is planned to be available from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week.

Brooks also has developed a police substation as part of redevelopment of 411 Broadway, the location of his new bar, to help bolster safety and reduce traffic downtown.

He says this is his favorite part of his new bar even though it is not inside the venue.

“Probably my favorite thing in this bar is not in this bar," Brooks said. "It’s the police substation right next door. We’re one of the fastest growing cities ever...With the growth of the city is also gonna come the growth of the bad things that we don’t want."

Brooks said it is nice for Metro Police officers to now have a home on lower Broadway.
