Lainey Wilson Has Already Renamed Abruptly Closed Florida Georgia Line Superbar

Lainey Wilson has already renamed the Nashville bar that was formerly owned by Florida Georgia Line.

The "Things a Man Oughta Know" songstress took to social media to share the title of her new joint, which is aptly titled Bell Bottoms Up Bar, after her signature style. While an official opening date has not yet been announced, it is scheduled to open its doors this summer.

"I'm so excited to announce my Bell Bottoms Up Bar which will open later this summer in the heart of country music city! I can't wait for all my Wild Horses to get to experience my home away from home," the singer posted on X, formerly Twitter.

As Wilson prepares to join Kid Rock, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, and more as a bar owner in the Broadway district of Nashville, the announcement comes just after FGL House, a location owned by country duo Florida Georgia Line, closed after barely making an announcement.

Bandmates Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley opened the venue in 2017, becoming known for pairing Fireball shots with their Wicked Chicken Sandwich and peach-pecan whiskey cocktails. The abrupt closing game without an announcement, after the duo have allegedly been involved in a serious disagreement over the past two years.

After working together for eight years, Hubbard and his wife unfollowed Kelley on Instagram in 2020, Us Weekly reports. Many assumed that the separation was due to a political disagreement, as Hubbard and his wife openly support Joe Biden and Kelley has criticized the president's supporters.

Hubbard addressed the incident, acknowledging that he did unfollow his bandmate over political matters, stating that he likes him better in person than on his Instagram stories. However, he still insisted that it was "nothing personal" and that he still "loves" Kelley as a brother.

They teamed up again to release another album in 2021, Life Rolls On. After the album dropped, the duo stated that they are "not going their separate ways," but are going to take a "break" after they finished their 2022 tour. Both musicians went on to pursue solo careers, with Kelley insinuating that they did not have any plans to get back together.

The closing of the bar is viewed as another nail in the coffin for the future of the group, with no signs of a future collaboration currently in sight.

The opening of Wilson's bar will boast another achievement: being only the second female country singer to own a bar in the district. She will join Miranda Lambert, who owns Tex-Mex restaurant. Casa Rosa.

While the bar scene in the area proves to be a successful endeavor for many in the country music industry, it has not been so lucky for everyone.

Morgan Wallen was arrested at Eric Church's bar in the area last month. He was placed in police custody after allegedly throwing a chair off the roof of the multi-story establishment. While no one was hurt from the incident, Wallen's court hearing for the legal entanglement is scheduled for Aug. 15.
