The bar will be designed to conform with Nashville’s Broadway Historic Preservation Overlay.
It will also feature entrances on both Broadway and 4th Avenue, with two fifth-story outdoor rooftop decks.
‘We’re looking forward to having a place in Nashville that we call home,” Jon Bon Jovi said in a statement.
‘When Big Plan Holdings and the team of Josh and Tara Joseph asked us if we were interested, it wasn’t because we were just another rock band, it was because we are a band with deep roots in Nashville,’ he added.
‘We have had wonderful times in Nashville recording several albums and working with some of the finest people in all the music business,’ he continued.
‘I can’t wait to toast all of Broadway and get to know our neighbors!’ he concluded.
He joins other music stars who have bars on Broadway such as Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley, Alan Jackson, Kid Rock and Miranda Lambert.
Stars such as Luke Combs and Eric Church also have bars that will be opening in the area soon.
He also recently confirmed he will be performing at son Jake Bongiovi’s upcoming wedding to Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown.
