A NEW JERSEY legend is setting up shop in Nashville. Jon Bon Jovi has officially announced plans to open a massive bar and restaurant in the city’s Lower Broadway entertainment district with Big Plan Holdings. JBJ’s Nashville is scheduled to open this spring, though an exact date has yet to be revealed. The venue purports to be the tallest and second largest bar by square footage on Lower Broadway.
Slated for a spring opening, Playdate aims to tap into your inner child with interactive components paired with food and boozy drinks. A 1920s white wood-paneled house in 12 South has been renovated for the project, which currently sports a colorful mural on the side promoting the new space. While details are tight, the restaurant is rumored to have an adult slide and an appropriately playful menu with dishes like ahi tuna tacos, pimento cheese crostini, candied bacon, poke bowls, and ice cream sandwiches.
