Earls Hits the Music City Vibe

So, here’s the scoop. Nashville’s bustling with new developments, and the latest big news? Well, brace yourselves because Canada’s Earls Kitchen + Bar is setting its sights on downtown.

Setting the Stage: The Pinnacle at Nashville Yards

You’ve got Nashville Yards, this massive, multi-use behemoth rising at Commerce Street and 10th Avenue North (check it out on Google Maps). And guess where Earls is landing? A sweet spot with nearly 8,600 square feet of prime real estate on the first floor of The Pinnacle.

Here’s the thing – The Pinnacle is connected to a 4,500-capacity live music and event venue. You know what that means, right? It’s not just a dining spot; it’s an experience waiting to happen.

Downtown Nashville’s Retail Buzz

Nashville Yards isn’t messing around. Let’s talk numbers: 90% of The Pinnacle’s retail space is already snatched up. That’s both The Pinnacle and their neighboring Nashville Yards office building, where big names like the Creative Artists Agency (CAA) are the main attractions. This prime area? It’s the talk of the town.

Earls Makes Its Mark in Tennessee

Now, let’s zero in on Earls for a moment. Mark Hladik, the big guy at Earls Restaurant Group, puts it this way. Nashville’s dynamic vibe and love of great food are right on target for their brand.

If you’re keeping score, this marks Earls’ inaugural venture into Tennessee and their 13th in the United States. The folks behind Nashville Yards couldn’t agree more, they think Earls’ approach will resonate with the city’s unique rhythm.

A New Culinary Destination

We’re talking about an eatery that’s pushing boundaries with a chic, upscale casual dining twist. You can thank Chef David Wong for leading that charge. Want a midweek bite or a post-concert unwind? Earls promises something special for everyone, any day of the week.

Cary Mack, a managing partner at Southwest Value Partners, believes Earls’ indie charm signifies a perfect pairing for presence in Nashville Yards.

The Real Estate Backstory

Real estate heavy-hitters like John Few, from SRS Real Estate Partners, orchestrated the lease deal from their Costa Mesa base. Details on the deal? Keeping them under wraps for now.

This venture could just be the start of a new chapter for the city. With Nashville’s unique musical and cultural fabric, adding a touch of Canadian culinary flair should definitely shake things up.

Earls’ Fabulous Expansion

Spurred by its Canadian roots, Earls thrives in 70 locations across Canada and the U.S. Perhaps it’s the perfect pairing for Nashville’s vivacious culture and fondness for good times and even better food.

So, whether you’re a lifelong local or just passing through to catch the latest gig, keep your eyes peeled. Late 2025 is when Earls plans to open its Nashville doors and you won’t want to miss what they bring to the party.
