Luke Combs celebrated the highly-anticipated opening of his massive entertainment venue on Friday night (November 1) in Downtown Nashville, Tennessee. The “Ain’t No Love In Oklahoma” 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 venue’s name is inspired by the North Carolina-born singer-songwriter’s breakout hit in 2016. Combs and Opry Entertainment Group previously described Category 10 as “the largest and most versatile entertainment complex in Nashville’s downtown entertainment district.”
“Welcome to Category 10,” Combs said on stage as he performed “Hurricane,” “Beautiful Crazy,” “Beer Near Broke My Heart” and other career-spanning hits. “Thank 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.”
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 Combs’ music and his passions, per the release. That includes The Honky-Tonk, Hurricane Hall (where bar goers can find the “largest 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 “unobstructed views of the Cumberland River and Nissan Stadium,” per the release. Category 10’s 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.
