Welcome to the Farm
Country stars opening their own restaurants and music venues is one of the latest trends, with everyone from Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, and Florida Georgia Line. All of these stars have focused on Nashville while Chase Rice is looking to bring the country music experience to other cities across the country. In 2022 Rice will partner with Forward Hospitality Group to open Welcome to the Farm on the East Bank of the Flats. Forward Hospitality Group also owns some of Cleveland’s hottest spots like FWD and Good Night John Boy.
The 5,250 square foot building is near the Alley Cat and other popular restaurants in the Flats. Welcome to the Farm will have space for about 280 people and a center stage where live music will be booked all the time! Grab a cocktail at one of the multiple bars that will be present with garage doors opened up to overlook the water. Rice is passionate about opening up his new spot in Cleveland as his late father grew up in Columbus and he is inspired by the Rock & Roll hall of fame. “It’s awesome to know that we’ll be just a mile down the road from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which is home to people like The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Nirvana, Tom Petty, and so many more who have all had a huge impact on my career,” says Rice.
