Hank Williams Jr. performs onstage during 2016 CMA Festival - Day 2 at Nissan Stadium on June 10, 2016 in Nashville, Tennessee.

Of all the people who have bars on Lower Broad in Nashville, I never thought I’d say that Hank Jr Is Getting Into The Bar Business.   Yes, Hank Jr. is lending his name to a new  just under 12,000 square feet bar that will have 3 levels with live music.

Reports from The Nashville Post say that Hank Williams JR. Boogie Bar will be located at 419 Broadway, located between Ernest Tubb’s Record Shop and AJ’s Good Time Bar, owned by Alan Jackson, and will be in the old Nashville Crossroads.

The partnership will be between Hank Jr and Big Plan Holdings, which is an investment company and will be opening the new  Jon Bon Jovi bar currently in the works for downtown.  Permits have been filed but there is no date as to when construction will begin or even an opening date.
