Garth Brooks wants to open a police substation next to his Nashville bar

Garth Brooks is planning to incorporate first responders into his new bar in Nashville.

Since purchasing the building at 411 Broadway, which will become his Friends in Low Places Bar and Honky-Tonk, Garth has been working with city officials on turning the alleyway next to the building into a substation for the Metro Nashville Police Department, the Tennessean reports.

The legendary singer plans to pay for the station in full as a way to provide police resources, security and traffic control on the busy Broadway street. Garth will need approval from the Metro Council to move the plans forward.

“I commend Garth Brooks for stepping up to help make Lower Broadway safer and more enjoyable for everyone,” Nashville Mayor John Cooper says in a statement. “These additional resources will add new tools to reduce traffic and improve community safety downtown while continuing to prioritize other initiatives for neighborhoods and families throughout Davidson County.”

The honky-tonk gets its name from Garth’s classic 1990 hit. He’s one of many country stars with a bar on Broadway, including Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley and Miranda Lambert.
