Jelly Roll is latest celebrity to open restaurant in Nashville
A new venue has opened its doors in downtown Nashville — and it’s the first celebrity-backed concept from a Music City native.
Jelly Roll has opened a four-story venue called Goodnight Nashville on the city's legendary Broadway strip. Created in partnership with Arizona-based Evening Entertainment Group, the space offers a full dining experience, a tattoo parlor pop-up and lively nightlife inspired by Jelly Roll's raw, authentic spirit, according to a press release.
The first floor features a full bar, diverse menu and live music — all under the glow of a massive skull chandelier, drum-head lights and an art installation themed to Jelly Roll's hit song, "Save Me/I'm Fine."
The second floor pays tribute to Jelly Roll's wife, Bunnie Xo (of the popular Dumb Blonde podcast) with a larger-than life likeness of her above the bar. The “Bunnies” level has plush booths along with a stage for live DJs.
The third floor is designed to offer a more intimate, elevated experience with "Buddy's," a cocktail lounge named in honor of Jelly Roll's late father. Reserved mainly for private events and for Jelly Roll's personal use, the upscale, speakeasy-style space serves craft cocktails and a limited curated food menu in a cozy setting.
The top floor is an indoor-outdoor rooftop, offering sweeping views, booth seating, space for a DJ and bar fare. It also boasts another signature rotating skull chandelier.

Nashville has always been a vibrant city of energy and creativity, and we're excited to be part of that spirit, bringing something new to the scene."
