Luke Combs celebrated the highly-anticipated opening of his massive entertainment venue on Friday night (November 1) in Downtown Nashville, Tennessee. The βAinβt No Love In Oklahomaβ hitmaker hosted a private performance for fans ahead of the official opening at 11 a.m. CT on Saturday (November 2).
Combs confirmed the opening date of his Nashville bar, Category 10, last month. The venueβs name is inspired by the North Carolina-born singer-songwriterβs breakout hit in 2016. Combs and Opry Entertainment Group previously described Category 10 as βthe largest and most versatile entertainment complex in Nashvilleβs downtown entertainment district.β
βWelcome to Category 10,β Combs said on stage as he performed βHurricane,β βBeautiful Crazy,β βBeer Near Broke My Heartβ and other career-spanning hits. βThank you for being here. This is a dream come true, and I am excited to share it with y'all. This a fan first venue with a little something for everybody.β
Category 10 is a four-story, 67,000-square-foot venue with six interior bars, three stages and other attractions, plus a 7,000-square-foot rooftop area set to open in 2025, per a press release issued Saturday morning. The bar features five distinct themes inspired by Combsβ music and his passions, per the release. That includes The Honky-Tonk, Hurricane Hall (where bar goers can find the βlargest dance floor and stage in Downtown Nashville), The Still (an intimate lounge setting spotlighting a selection of bourbon hand-picked by Combs), The 5 Leaf Clover Sports Bar, and The Eye, set to open in early 2025. The rooftop bar will feature βunobstructed views of the Cumberland River and Nissan Stadium,β per the release. Category 10βs grand opening celebrations will span throughout the weekend with performances by up-and-coming artists and DJs, an immersive light show, signature dishes and cocktails and more.
Combs joins several other powerhouse country artists to open a venue downtown. Others include Eric Church β who recently teamed up with Combs to plan the Concert for Carolina, a benefit show to help with hurricane relief efforts in the duoβs home state in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene β Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley, Blake Shelton and others. Category 10 is located at 120 Second Avenue North. See new photos inside the venue below.
