Old Dominion Set To Open New Bar Odie’s In Nashville's Midtown

Downtown Nashville has become a vibrant hub for country music stars. Many renowned artists such as Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Garth Brooks, and Miranda Lambert have established their own venues that merge food, live music, and the classic honky-tonk experience. Soon, country band Old Dominion will join this illustrious list with the opening of their new bar, Odie’s, in the summer of 2024.

Odie's will not be located on Broadway, Nashville's famous country strip, but rather in the Midtown area, offering a more local atmosphere away from the typical tourist paths. Matthew Ramsey, the lead singer of Old Dominion, highlighted the significance of this location for their band: "Midtown in Nashville has played such a role in the history of our band, from chilling at the bar after writing to playing weekly into the wee hours of the morning." This neighborhood is not only essential for upcoming artists and writers but also serves as a welcoming spot for both locals and visitors.

The development of Odie’s has been under wraps for about a year, with the site reportedly selling for $7 million in May 2022. Fans can expect surprise appearances from Old Dominion members, as they are likely to hang out at their bar during their free time. The venue promises to feature a comfortable setup with multiple areas to relax, ensuring visitors can enjoy a meal, drinks, and live music all in one place.
