World's longest bar set to open in Middle Tennessee — built with Garth Brooks in mind

• World's longest bar is 518 feet long with 202 barstools.
• Venue at Nearest Green Distillery will bring elevated food, cocktails and live music to Shelbyville.

When Keith and Fawn Weaver, owners at Nearest Green Distillery in Shelbyville, Tennessee, set their minds on something, they always shoot for a best-in-class experience. So when the couple decided to open a restaurant/bar/live music venue at the distillery, they went all out and ended up with something unexpected.

Customers might expect bar food, like potato skins and nachos.

What they will get are chef-driven entrees such as creamy burrata with prosciutto, grilled peaches, arugula, micro basil and a balsamic reduction.

They might expect whiskey, but they'll be able to drink curated cocktails like the Queens Gambit made with Uncle Nearest 1856, pineapple gomme, lemon juice, Sorel and Hella apple blossom bitters.
