Good Time Design

Our Story: Bringing Good Times Since 2006

Good Time Design is an all-encompassing hospitality and entertainment group based in San Diego, California, and Nashville, Tennessee. Established in 2006 by renowned businessman and hospitality entrepreneur Ty Hauter, the company has experienced rapid growth and now owns and operates various distinctive restaurants, bars, and live music venues.

Current projects include Moonshine Flats, Moonshine Beach, and The Blind Burro, while past projects encompass Wave House, Bootlegger, Bub's at the Ballpark, and Typhoon Saloon. GTD venues are renowned for their diverse offerings, from Mexican cantinas and sports bars to BBQ smokehouse menus. No matter the concept, each GTD project shares a common goal: to provide a good time for all.

In 2016, Good Time Design expanded its footprint beyond California with the introduction of Cerveza Jack's, a south-of-the-border live music eatery, and the acquisition of The George Jones, a 40,000 square foot entertainment venue, both nestled in the heart of downtown Nashville, Tennessee. As dedicated members of the Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music, GTD and Hauter are passionate supporters of the songwriter community through individual artist development and numerous music venues.

In 2018, Good Time Design broadened its horizons with the addition of country music artist Martin McDaniel to its Entertainment Development & Marketing portfolio, signaling an exciting foray into the country music scene.
