East Nashville restaurant, sports bar to open second location

East Nashville restaurant and bar concept Noble’s will see a sister outpost open in MetroCenter in mid-2024.

The business will operate at 2222 Rosa L. Parks Blvd. in a building that longtime Nashvillians will recall as Fountain Square, since rebranded as 2222 RPB. Opened in 1987, the property's main building (there are two smaller structures located on the site) offered a cineplex, various shops and restaurants, and a nightclub called Heartthrob Café. The complex — recognized, in part, for sitting on a small man-made lake — experienced a short-lived existence, closing in 1990. (Read more here from Southeast Venture.)
