Chase Rice will expand his hospitality ventures portfolio later this month with the opening of I Hate Cowboys, a cocktail and bourbon lounge adjacent to his popular Welcome to the Farm venue in the Flats East Bank entertainment district of Cleveland, Ohio.

The 2,400 square foot establishment is set to open on March 16. Rice’s new venture is again in collaboration with Forward Hospitality Group, Rice’s partner for both the Cleveland location of Welcome to the Farm as well as a second iteration in St. Pete, Florida.

I Hate Cowboys takes its name from Rice’s popular song featured on his recent critically acclaimed album, I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell. The venue blends the rugged allure of a classic western-style bar with the refinement of a modern cocktail lounge.

Guests at I Hate Cowboys can expect a selection of rare bourbons and tequilas, alongside crafted cocktails and canned beers. The food menu features select items including a bison tartare, bone marrow, kale Caesar, a smash burger and the venue’s signature fried chicken.

“The I Hate Cowboys album honored the rebellious spirit of the American West that I fell in love with during my travels over the past few years, and this lounge concept felt like the perfect way to bring a celebration of that way of life to even more people,” says Rice, who again played an integral part of the design process for the venue. “We’ve had so much fun bringing my Tennessee Farm to y’all at Welcome to the Farm, and can’t wait to introduce this new space next door that represents another side of me.”
