Country music star Kane Brown is joining the lineup of celebrities to have a bar on Broadway. Brown is partnering with Detroit-based Elia Group to open Kane Brown’s On Broadway this summer, according to a release. It will take over the space formerly home to The Valentine at 312 Broadway.
The four-story, 11,400-square-foot venue will feature a multi-story bar, restaurant and live music venue. The main floor will feature a live music stage with exposed brick and steel-and-glass accents. A mezzanine with a bar service will offer stage views, and a lounge on the third floor will offer a more intimate space with walnut paneling, platinum records and portraits. The rooftop will serve as a space for brunch as well as a late-night atmosphere with DJs and drinks.
“We’ve really taken our time developing the bar,” Brown said in the release. “We wanted to make it a place that stands apart from everything else on Lower Broadway. I wanted to build a place that I want to hang out at, my friends want to hang out at and will be an unforgettable experience for anyone who visits. Nights in Nashville are about to hit a little bit different.”
Brown has a special connection with The Valentine space, where he spent plenty of nights early in his career. Now, he has built recognition as an artist, receiving a nomination as ACM Entertainer of the Year in 2023 and 2024 and even snagging a slot on Time’s list of 100 most influential people in 2021.
For Elia Group, the partnership cements the group’s presence in the Nashville hospitality scene. The group owns ZUZU Nashville and announced in December that it plans to open a new concept on Third Avenue.
“Our partnership with Kane Brown marks a defining moment for Elia Group and for the city of Nashville,” Zaid Elia, founder and CEO of Elia Group, said in the release. “He is a visionary artist who has continually redefined boundaries while remaining deeply rooted in authenticity — a philosophy that mirrors our own approach to hospitality at the highest level. For Elia Group, this collaboration represents the latest milestone in our longstanding and unwavering commitment to Nashville. It underscores our sustained investment in transformative, iconic properties; in immersive, thoughtfully curated design; and in guest experiences that celebrate the city’s rich heritage while actively shaping its vibrant future. We are honored to partner with an artist of Kane Brown’s stature to bring to life a project that is unmistakably Nashville: bold in vision, warm in spirit and unforgettable in every detail.”
