Some artists talk about giving back, and Post Malone just went ahead and did it.
In true country-rooted fashion, Posty is putting his money where his heart is this Thanksgiving by dishing out free meals to Nashville’s on-duty first responders at his Broadway bar, Posty’s. There are no cameras and no headlines, just a heartfelt thank you with a side of brisket mac and cheese.
From Wednesday, November 26, through Friday, November 28, uniformed heroes, including firefighters, EMTs, and police officers, can visit Posty’s and receive a free meal worth up to $30. While most of the country is sitting down with family, these m𝐞n and wom𝐞n are on the clock and keeping the rest of us safe.
“To the l𝐚dies and g𝐞ntlemen who keep Nashville safe each day, we would love to thank you for your service,” Posty’s team wrote. That is not just lip service because that is the real kind of gratitude that hits you right in the ribs, much like the sticky barbecue ones they serve up inside.
Posty’s is not your average celebrity cash grab. Since opening earlier this year, the place has already established itself as the largest artist-owned bar on Broadway. It took over the old Tequila Cowboy space and transformed it into a honky-tonk haven. Sure, Post Malone was overseas on tour when it first opened, but when he came home, he threw a ribbon-cutting bash so big that it shut down blocks of Broadway.
Now, he is making noise again, and this time it is for all the right reasons.
For You
The bar’s menu pulls from the best of both comfort food and country kitchen classics. First responders can fill up on heavy hitters like short rib pasta, cowboy ribeyes, and the already-famous brisket mac and cheese. For dessert, there are deep-fried Oreos and a scoop of old-school Americana with their classic ice cream sundae.
While Posty will not be in Nashville to personally shake every hand this holiday, it is not because he is laying low. He is spending his Thanksgiving with the Dallas Cowboys and performing the halftime show during their face-off against the Kansas City Chiefs. The performance also kicks off the Salvation Army’s annual Red Kettle Campaign.
“I am from Texas. I grew up a Cowboys fan and have been watching this halftime show for years,” he said. “It is a real honor to be part of the Red Kettle Kickoff with The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys and help bring hope to so many people.”
For a guy with diamond records and genre-bending bangers, Post Malone is proving he is more than just a crossover success. He is crossing over into something even more valuable, which is authentic country character. When it comes to showing respect for those on the front lines, he is not waiting for a PR opportunity. He is opening his doors and firing up the grill and saying, “Come eat.”
In a town that respects tradition, family, and showing up when it counts, Posty’s gesture is not just good. It is downright honorable. In a world that too often forgets its everyday heroes, he is reminding us all what country music’s heart really looks like.
This Thanksgiving, Post Malone just proved he belongs in this town, and he did it one plate at a time.
