Goodnight Nashville, created by Jelly Roll and Evening Entertainment Group (EEG), hosted its grand opening last night (Feb. 20). To celebrate the grand opening, Jelly Roll, joined by family and friends, delivered an electrifying performance in downtown Nashville, featuring surprise appearances from Brandon Lake, Bailey Zimmerman and Zach Myers.

The evening began with a special event hosted by Nashville Lifestyles, where Jelly Roll took part in a Q&A and performed an intimate set on the venue’s second floor. His performance included hits like “Save Me” and “Liar,” ending with the powerful “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” He later surprised the crowd downstairs, joining the band for an impromptu set that started with a cover of “Wagon Wheel.” The set blended his own hits like “Need a Favor” and “Save Me” with classic covers such as “Colt 45” and “Old Time Rock and Roll.” Jelly Roll also gave a special shoutout to friends John Daly and Bert Kreischer, who were watching from the mezzanine next to the stage.

As the night continued, artists like Lake, who performed “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” and Zimmerman and Myers, joined Jelly Roll for spontaneous performances on the second floor. The night also saw celebrity appearances from Dasha, Flava Flav and Noah Kahan. Guests danced into the late hours as a DJ and live bands kept the energy high after the main performances.

“We’re thrilled to official open the doors to Jelly Roll’s Goodnight Nashville,” shared Les Corieri, Co-Owner of Evening Entertainment Group. “This isn’t just another venue—it’s a celebration of the raw, authentic energy that defines both Jelly Roll and this city. From the unforgettable music to the one-of-a-kind experiences on every floor, we’re proud to add something new to Nashville’s iconic landscape and invite everyone to experience it for themselves.”

Located between 2nd and 3rd Ave S in the former Trail West Boot Store, this four-story venue offers a full dining experience, a tattoo parlor pop-up, a rooftop and a lively nightlife that reflects Jelly Roll’s spirit. The first floor features a vibrant atmosphere with a full bar, a diverse menu and live music, all beneath an eye-catching skull chandelier, drum-head lights and a “Save Me/I’m Fine” art installation. Seating options include tables and bar stools, providing guests with an elevated view of performances. A wrap-around mezzanine offers stunning views of the venue, including a dedicated area for flash-style tattoos. The second floor honors Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo, with a larger-than-life portrait above the bar, while the third floor, Buddy’s, pays tribute to Jelly Roll’s late father, offering an intimate cocktail experience.
