NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Gaylord Opryland has opened its newest venue, Foundry Fieldhouse Sports Bar & Taproom, to the public.
The opening is the first food and beverage concept unveiled as part of the resort's multi-phase transformation.
The two-level venue features indoor and seasonal outdoor seating for up to 707 guests. The space includes four bars, 14 large TVs, and a 38-foot floor-to-ceiling screen.
The sports bar features a scratch kitchen led by Executive Chef Michael Coyle, where classic comfort dishes are reimagined. Key components of the menu are made in-house or sourced from local partners.
The taproom offers 16 beers on tap, including a mix of local favorites, craft standouts, and international classics. The selection features the Foundry Fieldhouse Tennessee Lager, an exclusive recipe created in partnership with Tennessee Brew Works.
A collective of local artists produced 13 custom works for the venue, including murals, sculptural installations, and mixed-media pieces. Drawing from Nashville’s creative community and regional archives, the art references vintage sports culture through historic stadium signage, archival photography, classic athletic gear, and Tennessee landscapes.
