Eric Church’s Nashville venue appears to be honoring Morgan Wallen’s chair-throwing episode.
A now-popular TikTok posted by Edward James—allegedly an employee of the bar—on Tuesday, March 4, showcased a new addition to the drink menu at Church’s place, Chief’s on Broadway, called “The Chair.”
This drink includes raspberry vodka, raspberry liqueur, lemonade, and a hint of soda. A non-alcoholic version is also offered, according to James. “The Chair” is presented in one of Chief’s signature red cups with a miniature folding chair placed on top, which customers can keep as a memento. The price is set at $19.
Guests can order “The Chair” at the rooftop bar, the same location where Wallen, 31, is said to have thrown a chair in April 2024.
The Metro Nashville Police Department confirmed to Us Weekly that officers were present outside of Chief’s when a chair fell from above and landed nearby. An incident report indicated that police later viewed a video showing Wallen “lunging and throwing an object over the roof.” Subsequently, Wallen was taken into custody, with a bond set at $15,250. His attorney informed Us that he was “fully cooperating” with law enforcement.
Although Wallen did not disclose the reasons for his chair-tossing, he did issue an apology on social media for his conduct.

“I didn’t feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks,” he posted on X in April 2024. “I’ve connected with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the wonderful staff at Chief’s. I’m not proud of my actions, and I take full responsibility. I have immense respect for the officers working diligently to keep everyone safe.”
Eight months following the incident, Wallen was sentenced to a week at a DUI education center and eight months of probation after he pled guilty to two counts of misdemeanor reckless endangerment without a weapon. The initial felony charge of reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon and a charge of disorderly conduct were dropped.
“The plea agreement with the Office of the District Attorney requires Mr. Wallen to complete 7 days in a DUI Education Center, undergo 2 years of probation—one year for each misdemeanor charge of reckless endangerment—pay a $350 fine and court fees,” Wallen’s attorney Warrick Robinson stated to Us after sentencing. “Upon successful completion of his probation, the charges may be dismissed and expunged.”
Robinson added: “Mr. Wallen has fully cooperated with authorities throughout these past eight months, directly communicating and apologizing to everyone involved. Mr. Wallen is committed to making a positive impact through his music and foundation.”
