The former Wildhorse Saloon in downtown Nashville has reopened as Category 10. The 67,000-square-foot destination was conceived by Opry Entertainment Group and creative studio Journey, with country music star Luke Combs at its heart.
Channeling Luke Combs and country music
Spanning four stories, the reimagined venue features five immersive spaces that channel Nashville’s deep musical roots and embrace its dynamic nightlife.
At street level, a two-story honky-tonk—complete with dual bars, a retail shop, and a central stage for live performances—sets the tone. Here, an installation featuring 290 hats sourced from Combs’ personal collection and his Bootlegger fanbase is the standout.
Hurricane Hall, also on the ground floor, serves as the venue’s vibrant core. It boasts downtown Nashville’s largest dance floor, a state-of-the-art stage, and advanced audiovisual capabilities to accommodate performances for up to 1,500 guests.

The experience continues upstairs at the Still, an intimate bourbon lounge with river views that showcases Combs’ personal memorabilia and a curated spirits list. Adjacent, the 5 Leaf Clover Sports Bar—named after one of Combs’ songs—features oversized screens, flexible lounge seating, and a real-time sports ticker that wraps the space.
On the rooftop, the Eye offers 10,000 square feet of outdoor gathering space (making it the largest rooftop deck along Broadway) with panoramic views of the Cumberland River and Nissan Stadium.
Rounding out the experience is a women’s-only lounge outfitted with vanity stations, photo ops, and color-changing lighting that adapts to the energy of the space.
