Nashville’s Paradise Park to close for good this weekend

Lizzy Alfs | The Tennessean

It’s your final chance to bid adieu to Lower Broadway’s Paradise Park this weekend, as the honky-tonk will close its doors for good early Sunday morning.

The bar at 411 Broadway will host several farewell parties this weekend, including a vow renewal for couples on Friday, July 27 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Participants will get ring pops, top hats, tiaras with veils and a coupon for a free chili cheese tot and sweet tea.

Paradise Park owners Ben and Max Goldberg of Strategic Hospitality announced their plans in June to close the popular bar after 11 years. The news came about 10 months after the Goldbergs partnered with investor Bert Mathews and others to purchase the building for $27 million.

The Goldbergs plan to open a new concept in the building next year. The Nashville brothers have been mum about the specifics of the new concept, but said it’s the biggest project they have taken on so far. It will include all three floors and the rooftop.

Lower Broadway by the numbers Business is booming for Lower Broadway's honky-tonk owners as Nashville continues to be a hot tourist destination.

Strategic Hospitality also owns Henrietta Red, Le Sel, Bastion, The Band Box, Pinewood Social, The Catbird Seat, The Patterson House and Merchants.

Also planned for Paradise Park’s final weekend in business is a kid-friendly party from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on July 28 with $5 burgers and $6 pitchers for the adults, and a party that night before doors close at 3 a.m. Sunday morning. Paradise Park will be selling 50 framed pieces of its artificial turf and a portion of those proceeds will benefit the Oasis Center.
