Anyone hoping to spot country star Riley Green (and maybe some of his famous friends!) while in Nashville should head straight to his new bar, Riley Green’s Duck Blind.
The establishment, which is open now at 1913 Division St, sits adjacent to the famed Loser’s Bar and Grill, and is the former home of the bar Winners. This is a place that holds a special place in Green’s heart and played a major role in his career, therefore, when the opportunity arose for him to put his name the bar, he jumped at it.
“That bar was where I met everybody in town I know. I played some of my first shows there. So when they asked me about a bar, I didn’t have an interest in downtown. That bar was where I got my start,” he explained during a recent interview with Lon Helton on Country Countdown USA. “To now have my name on it is so cool.”
Riley Green’s Duck Blind features drinks, live music, and food, including a few “Riley’s Choice” menu items, like Riley’s BBQ Chicken Wrap, Duck Fries, Steak Biscuits, and Pot Roast.
It’s become a place for the Alabama native to hang out when he’s off the road, and even celebrate career milestones. He’s even been known to hop up and sing a few songs unannounced and bring some friends, like Jamey Johnson and Ella Langley, along with him.
According to Green, he’s also welcomed a few other guests to the bar, including Post Malone.
“He comes by the bar, me and him will get behind the bar and fix drinks and bartend for a little while,” the “Worst Way” singer shared. “I spend a lot of time there. I think that’s why these people go to these artist bars.”
Riley Green will have the next month or so to pop into Riley Green’s Duck Blind because he’s slated to kick off his headlining Damn Country Music Tour in March. The highly anticipated trek launches on March 27 in Abbotsford, BC, Canada, and will make several stops throughout the Great White North before returning to the States on May 1.
The tour will feature an array of special guests, including Ella Langley, Vincent Mason, Mike Ryan, Lauren Watkins, Drake White, Jake Worthington, Preston Cooper, Erik Dylan, Wyatt McCubbin, and Channing Wilson.
“I learned to play guitar to my granddaddy’s favorite country songs from back in the day and the new album is a throwback to the era when I first became a fan. For this tour, I was able to find some of my favorite artists and songwriters to join us, and singing with Ella every night will be a lot of fun,” Green previously shared.
His new single, “Worst Way,” is at country radio now.
