Lainey Wilson's new venture, Bell Bottoms Up, which replaces the former FGL House, marks a notable shift in Nashville’s nightlife scene. Her new bar not only reflects her unique "Bell Bottom Country" aesthetic, but also introduces a fresh dynamic to the city’s entertainment offerings.

This transformation follows Florida Georgia Line's disbandment, which led to the closure of their iconic venue, highlighting a period of change within Nashville's music-linked establishments.

“We love being one of the first to have a bar downtown but all great things eventually come to an end,” the former duo shared on their Instagram Story. “FGL House has closed, to make way for a new unrelated venture. Hope y’all made some fun memories there — we sure did.”

Many fans are disappointed in the bar closing and being re-themed. 

"Damn, FGL House in Nashville closed forever," wrote a fan on X. "I fell asleep in there after working a Preds game once because I was too tired to drive home. There was a couch by the bar and the bartender let me take a nap. Man. Good times." 

While others are massively excited for Wilson’s new adventure, saying it is the one thing taking them back to Nashville:

Additionally, Wilson has partnered with Barmen 1873 Bourbon to launch the "Hold My Bourbon Bar," a pop-up experience at GoodTimes Full Service Bar in Nashville. This event, which will be available from April 5 to 7, is designed to immerse fans in Wilson’s musical world while enjoying themed cocktails like the "Wildflowers Old Fashioned" and the "Wild Horses Manhattan."

This venture not only showcases Wilson's creative influence, but also supports her charitable efforts through the Heart Like A Truck Fund, with all proceeds going to community-enhancing initiatives​. Wilson's multifaceted career, spanning music, business, and philanthropy, exemplifies her dynamic approach to life and her commitment to making a positive impact on the community.

Her upcoming album Whirlwind and the detailed exploration of her career in the Hulu documentary Lainey Wilson: Bell Bottom Country are eagerly anticipated by fans, promising deeper insights into her evolution as an artist and her journey from a small-town artist to a country music sensation​. 

Beyond her ventures into hospitality, Wilson's upcoming album Whirlwind adds to her busy year. Set for release on August 23, the album follows her Grammy-winning Bell Bottom Country and promises to deepen her musical exploration while showcasing her growth as an artist. According to COWGIRL Magazine, her collaborative approach, involving her band in the recording process, aims to capture the authentic energy of her live performances, bringing a raw and personal touch to the album​.

The song, co-written by Wilson along with Paul Sikes and Trannie Anderson, is featured on her Grammy-winning album Bell Bottom Country.
