Robert's Western World is opening a satellite location inside Nashville's new Nissan Stadium, Saving Country Music reported on August 4. The mini version will sit on the stadium's 300 level, in the style of an airport outpost, and carry the bar's staples including traditional country music performances.
Co-owner Emily Ann Jones said the bar has turned down other big-city and brand partnerships over the years because they never felt right, but that this one, from the team's hometown Titans, was different, and that she saw it as a way to honor Nashville's music tradition. The stadium is slated to open in February 2027.
Robert's Western World sits on Lower Broadway across the alley from the Ryman Auditorium, in a building that once housed the Sho-Bud Steel Guitar Company's manufacturing operation before becoming a liquor store and then Robert Moore's western wear shop. JesseLee Jones took over the bar in 1999 and turned it into one of the few Lower Broadway venues that requires performers to keep their sets traditional.
The news came out during the bar's annual Fan Fair street festival on Lower Broadway, where performers including Hayes Carll, Dale Watson and Joshua Hedley played free sets. It's filed under our country coverage.
