February 10, 2025
Music City native Jelly Roll is celebrating the grand opening of his new restaurant, Goodnight Nashville. Although the doors have been open since January, the eatery’s grand opening celebration takes place on Thursday, Feb. 20.
Created in partnership with Evening Entertainment Group, Jelly Roll’s Goodnight Nashville is the first celebrity eatery from a Nashville native. Jelly Roll was born and raised in Nashville’s Antioch neighborhood.
Per a press release, the musician’s newest venture is located between Second and Third Ave. S. in the former home of Trail West Boot Store. Goodnight Nashville boasts a restaurant and a lively nightlife experience. Guests can enjoy drinks and meals while watching live bands perform from an elevated stage.
Situated above the restaurant, there is a wrap-around mezzanine that offers a birds-eye view of the venue. A tattoo parlor is located up there as well.
The establishment has four floors in total. The second floor pays tribute to Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo. Bunnie’s features a stage for live DJs and plush booths.
The restaurant’s third floor is named Buddy’s, in honor of Jelly Roll’s late father. It will be reserved for private events and the singer’s personal use. The top floor features an indoor-outdoor rooftop, views of Broadway, a DJ, bar fare, and Jelly Roll’s 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.”
