Garth Brooks’ new bar will sell “every type of beer” when it opens, the country music crooner said in a new interview.
Friends In Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk in downtown Nashville, Tennessee is currently under construction.
“I want it to be a place where you feel safe, I want it to be a place where you feel manners rule and people like each other. And yes, we serve every brand of beer. We just are.” “It’s not our choice,” Brooks told Billboard. “Our thing is this: if you [are let] Come into this house, love one another. If you’re an asshole, there are plenty of other places to eat on lower Broadway.
Brooks joins a handful of musicians who have taken sides in the Bud Light controversy after the beer giant gave transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney a personalized pack of beer featuring the likeness of Bud Light as part of an ad for the company’s March Madness contest Influencers had sent.
Since then, angry customers have boycotted all Anheuser-Busch products.

Big & Rich’s John Rich and Kid Rock have taken a different stance than Brooks, as both musicians oppose the beer brand.
“Customers aren’t going to order it,” Rich told Fox News Digital, specifically speaking of his own bar in Nashville. “I won’t have it in stock. We only have a limited space. I have a limited bar. It’s like… I have to line up beers, whiskey and vodkas here that people want to buy and want to support… And brother I can tell you now, it is a vicious attitude towards Bud Light.
Kid Rock shared his thoughts on Bud Light’s partnership with Mulvaney, a transgender woman, in a fiery video shared on social media.
“Let me tell you all something, and make it as clear and concise as possible,” he said, before leveling his gun and firing at crates of Bud Light. “F— Bud Light and f— Anheuser-Busch.”

Bud Light, which continues to face consumer backlash, experienced another seven-day period of declining U.S. sales in the last full week of May.
For the week ended May 27, NielsenIQ data provided by Bump Williams Consulting to FOX Business showed that Bud Light saw sales decline 23.9% on a dollar basis from a year ago. According to the data, sales of the Anheuser-Busch-owned brand are down 24.5% over the past four weeks.
If Bud Light continues to see sales declines of 20% in the weeks leading up to July 4, some retailers “will be forced to start reallocating shelf space to other brands,” Bump Williams, CEO of Bump Williams Consulting, told FOX Business on Tuesday.
