Ashley McBryde to introduce unique option for Broadway patrons | Music City Minute

Aug 6, 2025, 4:43 PM

Ashley McBryde is ready to make her mark on the Honky-Tonk Highway in Nashville with a venue that will offer a refreshing spin on the notoriously rowdy strip. McBryde, who is three years sober, is gearing up to open Redemption Bar, which will be located on the fifth floor of Eric Church’s Chiefs on Broadway. The “Brenda Put Your Bra On” singer described the venue as a comfortable space where alcohol isn’t the first priority. The Arkansas artist was inspired after realizing some of her favorite places to socialize became “wildly unaccommodating” when the only thing that changed was her drink order. Even though Redemption Bar will have a few alcoholic options, the menu will mostly consist of zero-proof drinks that aren’t just soda water and lime. The club will host regular live performances and be home to artifacts and curios highlighting the Opry member’s career. Redemption Bar is scheduled to open on August 28.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
