Luke Combs To Open Third ‘Category 10’ Location – Orlando 2027
Adding another major city.
Back in 2024, Luke Combs turned heads by becoming (at the time) the latest artist to open their own bar on Broadway in Nashville, joining the likes of Eric Church, Morgan Wallen, Miranda Lambert, Jason Aldean and many more. Named Category 10, in reference to his certified-diamond hit Hurricane, the bar is still thriving in Music City and features five unique experiences across the venue, three indoor stories and a 9,000 square foot rooftop.
Last October, it was announced that Combs was expanding his popular Nashville establishment into Las Vegas, teaming up with Opry Entertainment Group to open a second location, right on the Las Vegas Strip at the Flamingo. Set to include 34,000 square feet of space, a dining area with three bars and a dance floor, the Beautiful Crazy Women’s Lounge, a bourbon bar, an outdoor patio space called the Still and a third-level Eye Rooftop with another dance floor, Category 10 Las Vegas will open this fall.
Just when you thought that Combs was done expanding out the venue, this morning, it was announced that a third Category 10 location is coming to Orlando, Florida in the fall of 2027, teaming up with Opry Entertain Group once again.

As of now, an address for the new venue has not been revealed. However, it has been confirmed that Orlando’s Category 10 will be approximately 33,000 square-feet, three stories and will include “experiential areas influenced by Combs’ music and passions.”
In a press release, the “Beautiful Crazy” singer would express just how excited both he and his wife, Nicole, who is a Florida native, are to open the new spot.
“I have a line in my song ‘1, 2 Many,’ ‘there’s no stopping me once I get goin’. Well, I guess you can say the same about Cat 10 now. I know Orlando is a worldwide destination spot, so I’m super pumped and humbled that we’re getting to open a location there. My wife is from Florida, so we’re both super excited about this. I am glad to be bringing our brand of first-class service and awesome tunes to the Sunshine State.”
Colin Reed, Executive Chairman of OEG parent company Ryman Hospitality Properties, would also comment. Noting how popular of a tourist destination Orlando is to people worldwide, Reed would express how excited he is for tourists to be able to receive an “authentic country music experience” at Category 10.
“Country music is reaching more people nationally and internationally than ever before, driven in large part by superstars like Luke Combs. With Orlando welcoming millions of visitors from around the globe each year, expanding the Category 10 footprint into this world-class entertainment destination allows us to introduce visitors to an authentic country music experience inspired by Luke’s Carolina roots.”
Category 10 is set to break ground on the brand-new Orlando location in summer 2026 and more details on the project will be revealed over time.
