The Wildhorse Saloon was a country and western-themed restaurant which offers live music in addition to a dance club in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It is owned by Opry Entertainment Group, a subsidiary of Ryman Hospitality Properties (formerly known as Gaylord Entertainment Company).[1]
The Wildhorse Saloon first opened on June 1, 1994, in a converted warehouse,[2] centered around line dancing. It operated for three decades as a bar and dance club with a three-level live concert venue for all genres of music. It was also used as a banquet hall.
On April 13, 2023, it was announced that the Wildhorse Saloon would be replaced by a concert hall and honky-tonk inspired by Luke Combs's song "Hurricane" with building updates expected to be completed by mid-2024.[3] [4] In January 2024, the Wildhorse Saloon officially closed its doors in preparation for the upcoming changes to the venue.[5][6] It is expected to reopen in phases, beginning in late 2024, under the new name Category 10.
