The Nashville Metro Council has approved Morgan Wallen's Broadway bar sign just days after his court sentencing for a chair-throwing incident. The sign will be displayed at 'Wallen's This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen' following a 30-1 council vote with six abstentions.

The approval comes after Wallen's December 12 court appearance, where he pleaded 'conditionally guilty' to two misdemeanor charges of reckless endangerment. The country star received a sentence of seven days in a DUI education center and two years of supervised probation. Upon successful completion of probation, the charges will be eligible for dismissal and expungement.

The charges stemmed from an April 7 incident where Wallen threw a chair from Chief's bar rooftop, nearly hitting two police officers. Witnesses reported seeing him laugh while doing so, though he later released a statement taking responsibility for his actions.

The approved Broadway sign features 'Morgan' positioned above red and white lettering spelling 'Wallen's,' with a 'This Bar' logo underneath. Additional signage includes a Tennessee-shaped sign, which fans have already spotted and shared on social media. Despite some council members expressing concerns about Wallen's past incidents, including the 2021 racial slur controversy, the sign received overwhelming approval for installation.
