On Dec. 17, the Metro Nashville City Council gave permission for the installation of a 20-foot-high neon sign over Morgan Wallen’s This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen, with the council giving its approval by a vote of 30 to 1, according to The Tennessean.

East Tennessee native Wallen partnered with TC Restaurant Group for the six-story This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen, which opened back in June at 107 4th Ave N in Nashville. The approximately 30,000-square-feet venue features three music stages, six bars and an open-air rooftop. TC Restaurant Group is also known for other celebrity restaurant/bar concepts including Miranda Lambert’s Casa Rosa and Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Rooftop Bar.

The sign approval for Morgan Wallen’s This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen comes after a previous failed attempt back in May, when the Metro Nashville City Council rejected the original request from Wallen and TC Restaurant Group, with only three members voting in favor of the sign at that time and some members of the council citing Wallen’s past behavior.

Wallen made an appearance in a Nashville courtroom last week, where he pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment following charges of throwing a chair off of the roof of Eric Church’s Chiefs bar in downtown Nashville back in April. During the hearing, Wallen was sentenced to a spending a week in a DUI Education Center, to probation for two years, and to paying a fine of $350.

Wallen also picked up four trophies at the Billboard Music Awards earlier this month, including top male artist, top country artist, top country male artist and top collaboration (for his Post Malone collaboration “I Had Some Help”).
