Lainey Wilson celebrated the grand opening of her new bar Bell Bottoms Up on Tuesday night (Sept. 17).

The 27,000 square foot space first opened in May, where Wilson hosted an eight hour meet and greet with fans. Since then, Wilson has made several appearances in the space, including her ACM Honors after party to celebrate her Triple Crown and Milestone ACM Awards.

During the grand opening, Wilson cut the venue ribbon before hoping on the rooftop stage for a surprise performance. The setlist included some of the singer’s biggest hits such as “Watermelon Moonshine” and “Heart Like A Truck.” She also dove into her new Whirlwind album with “4X4XU” and “Hang Tight Honey,” among others.

The event also featured a sneak peek of Wilson’s upcoming collaboration with Wrangler, with select signature looks from the collection, launching Sept. 25. The night’s VIP guest list included fellow country music stars, industry professionals, Nashville city officials and DJs.

“Bell Bottoms Up is a dream come true,” shared Wilson. “Every time I’m in Nashville it’s where I want to be, because it’s a place my ‘Wild Horses’ can call home. I’m living my own honky-tonk dream, and to celebrate the opening of a honky-tonk of my own is truly something special. I hope to see y’all there soon!”

Bell Bottoms Up has two stages with four bars total. The mezzanine level showcases a lounge space called Neon Diamonds that overlooks the first-floor stage and dining area. The rooftop level boasts a ’70s-style Western aesthetic including a dance floor, disco-inspired décor and frozen daiquiri cocktails.

The three-story building is filled with Wilson’s signature flair and features several framed outfits from her top performances. With a Cajun-inspired food menu, guests can pay homage to Wilson’s Louisiana upbringing. Next door is Bayou Keys, Nashville’s newest dueling piano bar, which is also a nod to Wilson’s roots and the place where dueling pianos first began, New Orleans.

Bell Bottoms Up and Bayou Keys are owned and operated by TC Restaurant Group, which serves as the leading operator and partner for dining and entertainment venues in downtown Nashville.
