Morgan Wallen is set to open his new Nashville bar, Morgan Wallen’s This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen, over Memorial Day weekend. Although you’ll still see his name on the side of the building, there won’t be a 20-foot neon sign on the front of the building like planned, after Nashville’s Metro Council voted against the sign, 30-3, on Tuesday (May 21).
“I don’t want to see a billboard up with the name of a person who’s throwing chairs off of balconies and who is saying racial slurs,” Council member Delishia Porterfield told The Tennessean. “He gives all of us a bad name,” added Metro Council member Jordan Huffman. “His comments are hateful, his actions are harmful and he don’t belong in this town as far as I’m concerned. I’m tired of this city bending over to just make anybody happy that makes a comment that they want to. We continue to go down this road.”
Morgan’s bar is located at 107 Fourth Avenue North.
