Tucked behind an unmarked door in downtown Nashville lies Buddy’s Backroom; Jelly Roll’s intimate speakeasy where leather couches, elevated cocktails, and raw emotion collide. What started as a private sanctuary honoring his late father is now Music City’s most exclusive weekend experience, blending the star’s gritty authenticity with unexpected luxury.
