Garth Brooks recently celebrated the opening of his new bar, Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk. Patrons will be delighted to find that the establishment’s menu includes the wedding cake served at his and Trisha Yearwood‘s wedding.
Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk enjoyed its grand opening on March 7 after having a limited opening giving select guests a taste of what to expect from the Nashville-based venue. It was already promoted for having food made by fellow country singer and chef Yearwood, to whom Brooks has been married since 2005, but now diners know they can enjoy a very sweet taste of memories.
Part of the menu served at Garth Brooks’ new bar is the wedding cake he enjoyed with Trisha Yearwood
Yearwood holds dominion over the menu at Friends in Low Places and part of it is a tribute to her and Brook’s love. “This was my mom’s recipe,” Yearwood revealed, speaking with Good Morning America on the big day of the bar’s opening.

“It’s a sour cream pound cake with just a decorative frosting, and it’s a piece of history for us,” Yearwood added.
Yearwood’s parents were banker Jack Yearwood and Gwendolyn “Gwen” Yearwood. In 2008, Yearwood released a cookbook co-written by Gwen along with Trisha’s sister Beth, entitled Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen. That cake recipe served at Brooks’ bar isn’t the only thing Trisha got from Gwen; that cookbook and many that followed are inundated with recipes from her mother, right to 2021’s Trisha’s Kitchen: Easy Comfort Food for Friends and Family, which is touted by Barnes & Noble as “her most personal cookbook yet.”
The love story and wedding to go with so sweet a cake
Both Yearwood and Brooks were married and separated from someone else at least once prior to tying the knot with one another in 2005. The two first met back in 1987 at a demo recording. Back then, they were both strangers in each others’ hearts and unknowns in the world of country music. Brooks promised she could open for his shows whenever he landed a record deal, a promise he later kept.
After Brooks split from his wife of 15 years in 2001, he began dating Brooks. Brooks was ready to focus more on family life, including being there for the three daughters he shared with his ex, Taylor, August, and Allie. Soon, she was happily bestowed with the title of Bonus Mom.
They got married at a private ceremony in December 2005, hosted at their Tulsa, Oklahoma home. Brooks had proposed to Yearwood six months prior to the event. “It’s the perfect Christmas gift to each other. We could not be happier,” Tulsa native Brooks gushed at the time.
