Garth Brooks says his new Nashville bar won't boycott Bud Light

Country music star Garth Brooks has confirmed he has no plans to boycott beer brand Bud Light at his new Nashville bar after a recent brand partnership controversy with Tik Tok star Dylan Mulvaney. 

Brooks said during a Billboard Country Live panel that his “Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk” is "going to serve every brand of beer. We just are. It’s not our decision to make." 

Brooks said as a guest in his bar he expects patrons to "love one another. If you’re an a**hole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway.”

He said of the bar, “I want it to be a place you feel safe in, I want it to be a place where you feel like there are manners and people like one another.”
