A luxurious dine-in cinema, entertainment venue to arrive in Nashville

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — A luxury dine-in cinema and experiential entertainment venue is coming to Music City.

Southwest Value Partners and AEG announced an agreement with EVO Entertainment Group, the nation’s leading and largest operator of cinema-entertainment centers, to open a more than 48,000 square-foot experiential cinema and entertainment destination at Nashville Yards.

Plans for EVO Entertainment Nashville Yards, set to open in late 2024, include a 12-screen luxury dine-in cinema, eight lanes of bowling, a scratch kitchen and bar and private event spaces. Gaming and attractions including gravity ropes and advanced virtual reality experiences will also be included.

Nashville is a world-class entertainment and hospitality destination, and we can’t wait to be a part of this community. I’ve kept an eye on the progress at Nashville Yards since it was first announced and the dynamic, multi-faceted venue that Southwest Value Partners and AEG are creating is a perfect fit for EVO.

-Mitch Roberts, founder and CEO of EVO Entertainment Group

EVO Entertainment Nashville Yards will inhabit an entire floor of the 420,000 square foot Class A+ creative office building in the heart of Nashville Yards. The development will also feature an up to 4,500 capacity, a live music venue and a curated collection of food, beverage, entertainment and shopping experiences.

The private event spaces offered as a special feature of EVO Entertainment Nashville Yards will include screening rooms, providing the supreme setting for gatherings and celebrations of all sizes including corporate events and private parties.

A scratch kitchen and bar will serve both the private event spaces and guests at a full-service, dine-in restaurant and cocktail bar that overlooks the plaza in front of the music venue.

There is no cinema experience like EVO’s in this part of the country and we’re thrilled to bring their elevated entertainment offerings to Nashville Yards. EVO perfectly aligns with our healthy living, healthy working and hospitality focus. With something for everyone, from a state-of-the-art dine-in cinema to private event spaces, EVO Entertainment Nashville Yards will be a destination, and is a terrific addition to the brands and tenants selecting Nashville Yards as home.
