At the age of sixty-one, Brooks is currently engrossed in the grand opening of his latest establishment, Friends In Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk, situated in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee. Eager to cater to a diverse range of potential customers, he intends to offer a wide selection of beers, including Bud Light, despite the ongoing conservative push to boycott the brand until it dissociates itself from the transgender icon.

In a recent interview with Billboard, Brooks expressed his desire for his new bar to be a haven of safety, where individuals can interact with respect and camaraderie. He emphasized his intention to serve Bud Light and all other beer brands at his establishment. However, since his conversation with Billboard, some fervent fans have expressed their outrage by declaring their intention to discard his records and abstain from attending his concerts. Their disappointment stems from his decision not to join the conservative boycott against Bud Light following its alignment with the transgender community.
