Premium Sports Bar & Craft Beer Destination

Nashville East Bank Stadium District 2027

Prepared for Investor Review

01 The Spot

Your crew's go-to before and after the game.

40 taps. Big screens. Good food. The kind of place you text "meet me at MCGRAW'S" and everyone knows exactly what they're walking into.

Not a honky tonk. Not a chain. Not trying to be fancy. Just a really good bar in the best sports district in the country.

02 The McGraw Advantage

The only name in America that bridges sports and music.

The Father

Tug McGraw

MLB Pitcher • 1969 Miracle Mets • 1980 World Series Champion

Tug McGraw's leaping celebration after the final out of the 1980 World Series is one of baseball's most iconic images. His rallying cry — “Ya Gotta Believe” — became a battle cry for every underdog in sports.

World Series Champion 19 MLB Seasons Ya Gotta Believe
The Son

Tim McGraw

Country Music Icon • Actor • 30+ Year Career • Currently Touring 2026

106 million records sold. 49 #1 singles. 19 #1 albums. 3 Grammys, 21 ACMs, 14 CMAs. And every time the Predators score, 17,000 fans sing his song. That’s not a marketing strategy. That’s a 15-year head start.

Half the taps dedicated to Tennessee breweries. Bearded Iris. Southern Grist. Yazoo. The best stuff brewed down the road.

07 The Difference

You already know what we're not.

Not this

×Broadway tourist trap with $18 beers
×Sticky-floor wings chain — 200 TVs, no soul
×Celebrity vanity project that's all merch, no vibe
×Pretentious gastropub where you can't cheer

11 How It Works

Three roles. One business.

The same model behind Nashville's biggest celebrity venues — TC Restaurant Group runs Jason Aldean's, Luke Bryan's, Morgan Wallen's. Ryman Hospitality runs Blake Shelton's Ole Red chain. The artist is the brand. A professional operator runs the restaurant.

The Brand
Tim McGraw / TMEH
Owns the name, likeness, creative vision. Controls menu direction, design, events, partnerships. Shows up for openings, media, marquee nights.
Retains: Brand control + majority economic upside
The Operator
Management Partner
Runs the restaurant every day. Hires 75-95 staff. Manages kitchen, bar, floor, vendors, inventory. 15+ yr multi-unit track record required.
Earns: 4-6% of gross + EBITDA incentive above threshold
The Capital
Series A Investors
Provides $7.5M to build and launch. Preferred equity with downside protection. No operational involvement required.
Receives: 8% pref return + exit at 1.78x base MOIC
