Midtown
Bars and Restaurants
Famous Friends
Opened in June 2026 by multi-platinum country star Chris Young, this intimate Midtown sports bar brings a relaxed, neighborhood energy to the Demonbreun strip. Intentionally designed as a cozy, single-floor shotgun space that accommodates around 90 guests, the venue trades sprawling honky-tonk chaos for genuine community connection. The walls are decked out with sports memorabilia and music plaques donated by Young's inner circle, while the kitchen serves up a seriously impressive, chef-driven menu that goes far beyond standard bar food. It is the perfect, unpretentious spot to catch a game or hang out with a tight group of friends.
