Nashville has opened its arms to a new entertainment hotspot with a country flavor, spearheaded by Luke Combs. The country music star's new venture, Category 10, commenced with its grand opening yesterday at the heart of Downtown Nashville. Fans eager for a close encounter with Combs' world could step into the sprawling 67,000-square-foot space as early as 11 a.m. after the artist treated some lucky fans to a private concert the previous night, reports WSMV.

According to NewsChannel5, the bar is a walk through Combs’ lyrical journey, with thematic forms borrowed from his chart-toppers. It features multiple bars, live stages, and an expansive rooftop deck dubbed "The Eye," which promises panoramic views of the Cumberland River and Nissan Stadium. However, fans must wait until 2025 for the rooftop’s unveiling.

Delving deeper into the multi-level experience, the first floor boasts the largest dance floor and stage downtown, serving honky-tonk vibes that resonate with Combs’ roots. "This a fan first venue with a little something for everybody," Combs said on stage, according to NewCountry1039fm. Category 10 appears to rise from the historic grounds of the former Wildhorse Saloon with a tapestry of experiences, including Hurricane Hall, an immersive light and sound haven, alongside a carefully curated bourbon bar known as The Still.
