Local restaurateur and celebrity chef, Tim Love, can add yet another credential to his name: music venue owner. The new venue, Tannahill’s Tavern & Music Hall, is set to open its doors this fall on East Exchange Avenue in the Stockyards’ Mule Alley.
Love, who named the venue after his music-loving son, partnered with Live Nation to bring a venue that curates to artists and concertgoers alike.
“There's one thing that makes artists happy is when they get to the venue and they're kind, cater to you, and give you great food and a great cocktail,” he says. “It’s our goal at Tannahill's to be the number one hospitality to the fans, on the tour, to anyone in the world, and I’m excited about that.”
In addition to music — because, you know, it’s owned by a chef — the venue will also offer an extensive cocktail and food menu that includes grilled oysters, bologna sandwiches, and smoked baby back pork ribs.
During a big Thursday afternoon Stockyards shindig, Love announced the first slate of music acts that will grace Tannahill’s stage.
The diverse lineup includes the likes of rap star Ludacris, 70’s soft rockers Foreigner, local boys Green River Ordinance, indie artist Futurebirds, and many more.
The venue’s first artist is slated to be country duo Muscadine Bloodline, who will perform Oct. 1.
