Located at 405 Broadway, JBJ’s will be the tallest and second largest bar by square footage, boasting 37,000 square feet. The building’s design aligns the city’s Broadway Historic Preservation Overlay, aiming to ensure a blend of the past’s charm with an innovative future. The space will feature entrances on both Broadway and 4th Avenue as well as two outdoor rooftop decks with panoramic views and more.

The project, spearheaded by Josh and Tara Joseph‘s Big Plan Holdings, seeks to create a place that respects the legacy of music while continuing to carry the torch of Nashville’s history.

“We’re looking forward to having a place in Nashville that we call home,” says Bon Jovi. “When Big Plan Holdings and the team of Josh and Tara Joseph asked us if we were interested, it wasn’t because we were just another rock band, it was because we are a band with deep roots in Nashville.  We have had wonderful times in Nashville recording several albums and working with some of the finest people in all the music business.  I can’t wait to toast all of Broadway and get to know our neighbors!”

“We feel it will be great to disrupt downtown Nashville in a positive way. Partnering with Jon was natural for many reasons, and we could not be more excited for Nashville and all its great visitors,” state the owners.

The announcement of the new venture coincides with the lead singer’s recognition as MusiCares’ 2024 Person of the Year and the band’s 40th anniversary.
