Ashley McBryde To Open Redemption Bar Inside Eric Church’s Chief’s

/by

Ashley McBryde will open her Redemption Bar on Aug. 28. Located on the fifth floor of Eric Church’s Chief’s, the venue is a first-of-its-kind concept on Broadway inspired by McBryde’s three year sobriety journey.

“When the opportunity to make my mark on Broadway came, I knew I wanted to create a space that champions what’s made a difference in my life; a space that lifts up the brushed aside, and makes sure everyone feels welcome,” McBryde says.

The bar will serve a full menu of non-alcoholic and alcoholic options as well as feature live original music, showcasing the Nashville songwriter community directly to tourists.

“As someone who is three years sober, the typical response to ‘do you have anything Non-Alcoholic?’ is either ‘why did you come to a bar if you aren’t gonna drink?’ or ‘you can have soda water and a lime I guess.’ Some of my favorite places to socialize became wildly unaccommodating when the only thing that changed was what was in my cup,” McBryde shares with Rolling Stone. “It was vital that I create a space where not drinking is the forethought – normalized. You can get alcohol drinks in Redemption too, because everyone is welcome.”

She continues, “Songwriters are the backbone of this community, and it’s important to me to create a place for all the tourists on lower Broadway to experience original music from some of the people who are keeping dreams alive in this town.”
