Kane Brown’s name is going on a building on Lower Broadway, and the story behind it is a genuine full-circle moment. Brown’s On Broadway, a 4-story bar, restaurant, and live music venue spanning 11,400 square feet, opens this summer at 312 Broadway in the historic space that previously housed The Valentine.
Brown used to spend his early career nights at The Valentine, drawn to its live music and energy. Now his name is on the building. He and The Elia Group have built something that reflects both the artist and the street it sits on, from a main floor anchored by a full-scale live music stage set against exposed brick and steel-and-glass accents, to a mezzanine with dedicated bar service, a 3rd-floor lounge wrapped in walnut paneling and platinum records, and a rooftop delivering Broadway’s ultimate day-to-night experience against the Nashville skyline.
Brown laid out his vision directly: “We wanted to make it a place that stands apart from everything else on Lower Broadway. I wanted to build a place that I want to hang out at, my friends want to hang out at and will be an unforgettable experience for anyone who visits. Nights in Nashville are about to hit a little bit different.”
Elia Group Founder and CEO Zaid Elia called the partnership a defining moment for both the company and the city, describing Brown as “a visionary artist who has continually redefined boundaries while remaining deeply rooted in authenticity,” a philosophy that mirrors the group’s own approach to hospitality.
For Elia Group, Kane Brown’s On Broadway is the next step in a multi-venue Nashville expansion that also includes Zuzu Nashville, an upscale Asian-inspired dining experience on 1st Avenue South, and a 3rd concept on 3rd Avenue with an artist partnership still to be revealed.
2025 was already a landmark year for Brown. He released his acclaimed album ‘The High Road’, launched an arena tour of the same name, earned his 2nd RIAA diamond certification with “What Ifs” featuring Lauren Alaina, guest-starred on 9-1-1: Nashville, and executive-produced a Lifetime film alongside his wife Katelyn Brown.
