Square Grouper Tiki Bar
The neon sign was given to Jackson by the owner of the famous tiki bar in Jupiter, Florida, where Jackson filmed two of his music videos. Also on the beverage menu on the first floor? Sweet tea on tap!

Alan Jackson Performs
Following a pit stop at Nashville's Ascend Amphitheater in May, Jackson and his eight-piece bands surprised guests with a performance on the first floor's "Honky-Tonk" stage. Jackson is known to pop in and out of the bar when he's not on tour.

"GT" Bar
As the name implies, the second floor of AJ's Good Time Bar is dedicated to sports- and auto aficionados, where car-themed memorabilia and 12 big screen TVs adorn the walls.

"GT" Bar Plush Seating
The second floor is also the perfect setting to hear live, acoustic music or watch a Titans or Predators game, from the comfort of a couch, one that used to take up residence at Jackson's lake house in Georgia. Now it can be your home away from home.

The Ultimate Man Cave
Instead of framed pictures, framed jerseys and hubcaps round out the décor of the second floor. The jerseys are from Tennessee teams, and those given to him over the years from different sports venues. All the hubcaps are from American-made cars, with some previously belonging to Jackson.

License Plates Display
Nothing like old license plates to spruce up the walls! Many of these are from Jackson and his wife Denise. And the best part? All 50 states are represented here.

Yee-Hawg!
After ordering a shot, take a ride on the wild side—or wild hog, that is. This original 1950s coin-operated ride is a great way to end the night.

Hullbilly Bar
Grab a drink from the third floor of AJ's Good Time Bar, which is home to some of Jackson's maritime adventures and fishing excursions. The bar is actually a custom-made model of Jackson's Merritt Sports Fishing Boat, "Hullbilly," as seen in his "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" and "Long Way to Go" music videos. The replicated boat counter gives new meaning to the term, dive bar.

Framed with Memories
Next to the stage on the third floor is a wall of photos, including one of Alan and his dad, Andy Griffith (Jackson is a huge fan), and various boat and lake shows. Also, the "Jackson Fish Camp" sign is from Jackson's very own river house, and the "Hoochie Coochie" transom was taken from one of his custom wooden boats.

Fighting Chair
You can see that this is the same chair and the deep sea fishing pole in the picture of Alan Jackson on his "Hullbilly" fishing boat.

Best Catch
All the fishing poles and grill come from Jackson's Century boat and personal fishing stash.

Coming to the Stage
When Alan Jackson can't make an appearance, this life-size standup is a fill-in on the third floor. Guests can also enjoy karaoke and live music.

AJ's "Star Bar"
Because who doesn't love a rooftop bar? Particularly when it includes an outdoor space overlooking downtown, while under the watchful guard of "Big Al."

Crowd at AJ's
As the evening draws near, crowds gather outside the new bar. It reminds us of this line in Jackson's "Good Time" song: "Countin' the days 'til Friday night, that's when all the conditions are right for a good time." And you're sure to have a good time at AJ's.
