Justin Timberlake Set To Open Bar In Scotland With Tiger Woods After DWI Bust

Justin Timberlake is set to launch a new sports bar in Scotland, having previously opened one in New York, named T-Squared Social.

The franchise is birthed from the singer's collaboration with veteran golfer Tiger Woods. Their latest venture will see the duo repurpose the New Picture House Cinema in St Andrews for the project.

Justin Timberlake's move to open a new sports bar comes after he was arrested for allegedly driving while intoxicated in New York.

Reports have emerged that Timberlake plans to open another version of T-Squared social overseas. The sports bar currently has its only outlet in New York City, and it is a partnership between Timberlake and Woods.

According to Billboard, the new outlet will be launched in St. Andrews, Scotland, a location of "special significance" for the "Mirrors" crooner. Rather than building on new land, Timberlake and Woods plan to repurpose the New Picture House Cinema in the area.

Fife Council, the local authority overseeing the area, has already approved the project, per real estate documents obtained by the publication. The project is expected to create 40 to 45 new jobs, including positions for builders, plumbers, and other construction workers. While neither

Neither Timberlake nor Woods has revealed when work on the project will begin, but in accordance with the approval's terms, it is anticipated to happen within the next three years.

When the sports bar is completed, it will feature "state-of-the-art sports simulators, duckpin bowling, and darts. The two original cinema screens are expected to be preserved as Timberlake and his partners plan to honor the "theatre's legacy while creating a modern entertainment destination."

The project would also allow locals to "experience a broader range of cinema, dining and entertainment" and will be "crucial in helping to secure a cinema offering going forward."

Although it has yet to be revealed, the new sports bar may offer a membership package similar to its New York counterpart, which comes with priority access to Box Seats and other special perks.

According to the T-Squared Social website, Timberlake and Woods were inspired to begin their sports bar franchise because they desired a place they "would be proud to share with family, friends and fans."

The website also mentioned that the duo were "already looking to new locations around the world," suggesting that more sports bar projects will be greenlighted in the future.

The announcement about the sports bar comes in the wake of Timberlake being arrested for DWI.

The singer was arrested while driving home after a night out with friends at Sag Harbor's American Hotel. According to reports, traffic cops noticed that he had run past a stop sign and swerved between lanes, spurring them to initiate a traffic stop.

During the incident, Timberlake failed a field sobriety test and refused to take a breathalyzer test to confirm blood alcohol levels.

The 43-year-old star was later charged to court on Tuesday on one count of DWI and was subsequently released without bond. He was also cited for not observing a stop sign and failing to stay in his lane.

For the DWI charge, a hearing for the singer is expected to be held on July 26. Meanwhile, he is required to pay fines for the citation as determined by the law in New York State.

Following his arrest, Timberlake joked about the incident during one of the shows as part of his ongoing "Forget Tomorrow World Tour."

"So uh, is there anyone here tonight that is driving and … no I'm just kidding," the singer told the crowd, triggering spontaneous laughter, per The Blast.

He added, "Is there anyone here tonight, that it's your first time here to the show? Is there anybody here that you've been to 1, 2, 3, maybe 4 of our shows? For all of you that it's your first time tonight — on a serious note — I hope that you feel the fellowship and the love."

If the "Sexy Back" singer is found guilty of his DWI charge, he may face further fines and be ordered to participate in mandatory community service or take driving or substance abuse courses. In the meantime, his driver's license has been suspended for six months due to his refusal to take a breathalyzer test.

According to The Sun, Timberlake sold his Nashville ranch for $8 million 10 months after placing it on the market.

The "Sexyback" singer made a $4 million profit from the transaction after first buying the plot for $4 million in 2015. However, he took a $2 million hit after initially asking for $10 million.

The property sits on a massive 126-acre and boasts unique mountain views and lush green space perfect for horseback riding, fishing, and mountain biking.

It is only a few hours from his hometown of Memphis and is close to the lush village of Leiper's Fork. Famous people in the area include Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill.

According to the news outlet, the undeveloped estate's new owner is understood to be a limited liability company.
