Alan Jackson just announced a new Nashville museum that promises to take fans through his life and career journey.
The unique attraction will also allow the elderly to sip whiskey while touring.
- The Alan Jackson Museum opens on June 25.
- The full name is Alan Jackson’s Silverbelly Whiskey Distillery and Museum, as the drink will be blended and bottled on site.
- On June 27, Jackson will play his last show at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
A Silverbelly Whiskey distillery will occupy part of the same space at 121 3rd Ave. South in Nashville. It’s the spirit Jackson introduced to fans in 2022. It’s distilled especially for him, but in quantities fans can buy and enjoy.

The whiskey goes from barrel to bottle on site, and anyone 21 or older can visit the museum with a glass in hand.
Where is the Alan Jackson Museum?
Alan Jackson’s Museum will lie right next to it Johnny Cash museum, in a space previously occupied by Show Pony and before that Johnny Cash Bar and BBQ.
Both venues are across the street from Lainey Wilson’s Bellbottoms Up.
The Business Journal revealed Jackson’s involvement in March, stating only that the distillery was in the works.
While Lower Broadway and its side streets are teeming with celebrity bars and restaurants, museums have become a tough sell. The Country Music Hall of Fame is within walking distance, and the Cash Museum opened in 2013.
Others like a museum that honors Patsy Cline and one focused on Glen Campbell has come and gone.
However, the “Chattahoochee” singer knows the landscape a bit better than most. A short walk away on Broadway, AJ’s Good Time Bar is one of the first artist-approved bars.
Jackson also owns the place, making him completely unique in Nashville.
Details about what kinds of exhibits will be inside the museum, as well as opening hours for the facility, are not yet available.

Here are all the country star bars or restaurants in Nashville, ranked according to their Google reviews. Plus, highlights (or lowlights) from these reviews so you can map out your Lower Broadway experience with confidence.
Certain things are true of any country singer bar in Nashville: the drinks are expensive, they probably don’t serve draft beer, and you’re going to wait for service during rush hour. A few bars go above and beyond on all levels, while others…well, they might consider changes.
The difference between a 4.1 star establishment and a 4.8 star establishment is how you treat people (and how little water you put in the drinks).
