Fans of Morgan Wallen will have to wait even longer to drink at his new “This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen,” which was scheduled to open during this Memorial Day Weekend in downtown Nashville. Though the social media for the bar was still advertising the grand opening as of Friday afternoon, a representative from the restaurant group confirmed to Scoop: Nashville an opening would not happen. In recent weeks, the Nashville Beer Board denied both a catering permit and a temporary permit for the location, as Fire & Codes had also not issued any approvals. In addition to the loss of their sign, which was not approved by Metro Council, it’s been a rocky start for the chair-throwing musician. Approval of permits from multiple departments could delay the opening by several more weeks.
