'Chaos' as Nashville's Broadway shut down for Post Malone free concert and new bar opening

Thousands of Post Malone fans descended on Nashville's Broadway last night as the star marked the opening of his new bar with a free concert.

Country stars Lainey Wilson, Dierks Bentley and Brooks & Dunn made special appearances for the coveted hour-long show at the singer's new venue called Posty's Bar, which stayed open till 2am.

And to make things even better, the 'I Had Some Help' hitmaker covered the bar tab all night for those who could squeeze their way inside.

It's pretty cool to be able to say Post Malone once bought you a beer...

Naturally, thousands of music fans flocked to the area, as people shared footage of the 'chaos' on social media.

In one TikTok video, a fan admitted they were 'elbow to elbow' in the crowd, panning through a seemingly endless sea of people.

Though some had concerns over crowd management, News Channel 5 Management reported.

One woman claimed she fell in the crowd and shared photos of scrapes on her arms.

"This was wild….I didn’t expect that crowd," another fan said on TikTok, as a second complained: "People were so rude! Idk why I expected any different."

"Couldn't see a thing," a third wrote, while somebody else claimed they had the 'time of their life' at the concert.

Posty's Bar spans 26,000-square-foot and three floors, making it the largest first-floor space of any bar on Broadway.

It features six bars, three stages, a VIP lounge and even a gift shop.

There's also a karaoke bar in the basement and a rooftop space to take in Lower Broadway's neon streets.

Behind the scenes, the bar is operated by TC Restaurant Group, a powerhouse in Nashville’s bar and nightlife scene.

The company is no stranger to star-backed venues; it also runs Morgan Wallen’s This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen, Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Rooftop Bar, Luke’s 32 Bridge, Miranda Lambert’s Casa Rosa, and Lainey Wilson’s Bell Bottoms Up.

Posty's Bar isn't Malone's first venture into the food and drinks business, either.

The Grammy-nominated record producer started up his own line of French rose wine in May 2020.

Maison No. 9 sold out within two days of launching. A 750ml bottle retails for around $21.

And in April 2023, Malone redesigned a Raising Cane's restaurant near his home in Midvale, Utah.

The 890 Fort Union Boulevard branch of the popular chicken shop is now bright pink and decorated with Malone merch and nods to his music videos, including his classic 1974 Ford F250.
