Jason Aldean: Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Rooftop Bar

Known For: That said, who could resist dishes like Trash Talkin’ Taco Salad or Kiss My Country Grilled Chicken Sammie? (Not to mention a vodka-based Hillbilly Seltzer!)

Alan Jackson: AJ’s Good Time Bar

The Vibe: A true honky-tonk, this place is filled with history — it was once a Civil War hospital and was the home of Bullet Records in the 1940s. Since 2016, it’s housed an Alan Jackson mini museum, with music on multiple floors and a bar that’s a replica of the “Chattahoochee” singer’s beloved fishing boat, Hillbilly.

Known For: The venue offers karaoke night for wannabe stars and, true to its owner, authentic live country music — after all, it’s just a stone’s throw from the historic Ryman Auditorium.

People Say: This place is loud! “Take a pair of earplugs with you.”

Justin Timberlake: The Twelve Thirty Club

The Vibe: The Memphis native opened a honky-tonk — for visitors with deep pockets. A $6,000 annual membership gets you into the Honorary Member Lounge, among other perks, but there’s a casual restaurant with live music downstairs.

Known For: Pricey, straightforward American fare (think: a 12-oz New York strip steak for $70 or pimento cheese) and a whiskey cart for tableside pours.

People Say: “Def tourist prices. Ouch!”
