Morgan Wallen is gearing up for the opening of his very own bar and grill, This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen. Nashville residents recently spotted signs being put up for the six-story establishment.
Excited fans took to social media to show off videos of the signage as it made its way onto This Bar's wall.
One sign is in the shape of the state of Tennessee, apt for an establishment that sits in the heart of Nashville's buzzy Broadway district. Wallen is a native of the state. Atop the sign reads "Morgan Wallen" above the larger text of "THIS BAR." At the bottom, the sign says "Tennessee Kitchen."

Another sign, already attached to a building, simply reads "MORGAN WALLEN'S This Bar." The singer's name is in bold red and all capitals while the bar's actual name is in a muted cursive.
"I sing about finding myself in 'this bar' and now it's coming to life. This venue will hold true to everything I love and is inspired by my fans and the way they have embraced me and my music," said Wallen of the new business venture.
Wallen partnered with TC Restaurant group, responsible for other star-sponsored projects like Jason Aldean's Kitchen + Rooftop Bar and Luke Bryan's Luke's 23 Bridge Food + Drink. The bar will feature some of Wallen's family-favorite snacks, with chef Tomasz Wosiak stepping in to help curate the bar's menu.
"I hope This Bar is a place you'll want to find yourself in and make memories with your friends and family and celebrate the way country music has brought us all together," Wallen said.
The bar is titled after Wallen's hit song "This Bar," in which he sings, "I found myself in this bar/Making mistakes and making new friends/I was growing up and nothing made sense/Buzzing all night like neon in the dark/I found myself in this bar."
Wallen has indeed been making mistakes in bars as of late.
In April, the star was arrested after throwing a chair off of the sixth story of Chief's bar in downtown Nashville. He is currently facing charges for three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct. He was released on a $15,250 bond at 3:30 a.m. on April 8. In the wake of the arrest, Wallen has continued to perform on his One Night at a Time tour.
Wallen is scheduled to make his first court appearance for the incident on May 3. He is set to perform at the Nissan Stadium later that night as the second of two shows in Nashville.
Should Wallen be convicted, he could spend up to six years in prison.
