NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Country music star Ashley McBryde is opening a non-alcoholic bar inside of Eric Church's Chiefs on Broadway in downtown Nashville.

Redemption Bar will be on the fifth floor of the venue and is inspired by McBryde's journey to sobriety. It will feature a zero-proof cocktail menu with each drink named after lyrics that helped carry McBryde forward.

“When the opportunity to make my mark on Broadway came, I knew I wanted to create a space that champions what’s made a difference in my life; a space that lifts up the brushed aside, and makes sure everyone feels welcome,” explained McBryde in a release.

Redemption Bar will be a welcoming space that honors authenticity, connection and original songwriting.

“As someone who is three years sober, the typical response to ‘do you have anything Non-Alcoholic?’ is either ‘why did you come to a bar if you aren’t gonna drink?’ or ‘you can have soda water and a lime I guess.’ Some of my favorite places to socialize became wildly unaccommodating when the only thing that changed was what was in my cup...It was vital that I create a space where not drinking is the forethought – normalized. You can get alcohol drinks in Redemption too, because everyone is welcome.”

From the music to the menu, Redemption Bar hopes to reimagine what a night on Broadway can look like.

Redemption Bar will open on Thursday, Aug. 28 inside Chief’s at the corner of Second Avenue and Broadway.
