NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A new statement from Morgan Wallen's This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen says they will not be opening this weekend.
They do not give a specific reason, only suggesting they need more time:
“When we open, we want This Bar to be an exceptional experience for guests. Unfortunately, the process requires more time, and we are not able to open and provide that experience this Memorial Day weekend," the statement reads.
This news comes a few days after Metro Council denied the bar's application for signage outside the bar.
The team says they are proud of the work that has already been done and say it will be worth the wait.
“We’re proud of our team who has worked tirelessly to prepare Morgan Wallen’s This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen for opening. The ground-up construction of a six-story venue launching with hundreds of team members is a tremendous amount of work and a complex process...Rest assured it will be well worth the wait. We look forward to welcoming guests soon.”
We will update you as soon as we have more information about the delay.
I am so inspired by Sheila Gann's love for her husband and her resilience. Anyone who has lost a loved one to Alzheimer's knows how cruel this disease is - not only for the patient but also for those who love and care for them. Mike and Sheila clearly had a remarkable love story, and she is now honoring that in the most beautiful way. Thanks to Forrest Sanders for sharing their story.
