Luke Combs is bringing Category 10 to Orlando, Florida.
Combs opened the first location of his bar in November 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee, and he previously announced a second location opening later this year in Las Vegas, Nevada. He confirmed on Tuesday morning (February 17) that another establishment is headed for CityWalk at Universal Orlando Resort. It’s expected to open in late 2027. Combs named his bar as a tribute to his 2016 breakout single, “Hurricane.”
“I have a line in my song ‘1, 2 Many,’ ‘there’s no stopping me once I get goin’. Well, I guess you can say the same about Cat 10 now,” Combs said in a statement. “I know Orlando is a worldwide destination spot, so I’m super pumped and humbled that we’re getting to open a location there. My wife is from Florida, so we’re both super excited about this. I am glad to be bringing our brand of first-class service and awesome tunes to the Sunshine State.”
Combs married his wife, Nicole Combs, in August 2020. They’ve since welcomed two young sons — Tex Lawrence Combs, who was born in June 2022, and Beau Lee Combs, born in August 2023 — and Baby No. 3 is on the way.
Combs is opening his third Category 10 location with Opry Entertainment Group. Colin Reed, the Executive Chairman of parent company Ryman Hospitality Properties, said the genre “is reaching more people nationally and internationally than ever before, driven in large part by superstars like Luke Combs. With Orlando welcoming millions of visitors from around the globe each year, expanding the Category 10 footprint into this world-class entertainment destination allows us to introduce visitors to an authentic country music experience inspired by Luke’s Carolina roots.”
The upcoming Orlando location will be about 33,000 square feet, spanning three stories with “experiential areas influenced by Combs’ music and passions,” per a press release issued Tuesday morning. See a rendering here:
