Interesting facts and trivia about At the End of a Bar. By Songfacts®.

This driving duet between Chris Young and Mitchell Tenpenny is an ode to their cherished watering holes. The two country stars sing of the many opportunities you can find at a bar, including: Making a best friend without ever learning their name. Finding "a pair of blue eyes" who becomes your true love. Listening to a '90s cover band bringing back memories. Looking "for answers at the bottom of a glass."

Young and Tenpenny wrote the song alongside Chris DeStefano ("From the Ground Up," "Something in the Water") in February 2021. They penned it at DeStefano's home in Brentwood, a Nashville suburb.

DeStefano had already started on a track based around an unassuming acoustic guitar riff when the other two arrived at the session. A few days earlier, Young and Tenpenny met up for a few cold ones at a hot spot near Nashville's Music Row. When Young nonchalantly mentioned their night out at the end of the bar, Tenpenny quickly spotted a song idea. "I'm normally really good about picking things that people say out of a conversation and going, 'That's a song title,'" Young told American Songwriter. "Well that day, I was talking to Chris and I was like, 'The other day, me and Mitchell were sitting at the end of a bar…' and Mitchell went 'That's what we need to write! It all starts at the end of a bar.'" They all agreed it was a cool idea and wrote the song in about 45 minutes.
