Nashville's Metro Council says the country singer's chair-throwing shenanigans have tarnished the city's rep -- and as a result, he won't get a neon sign outside the bar ... a la Garth Brooks, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan and every other country crooner who has a downtown bar.

LIGHTS OUTThe Council voted overwhelmingly against letting Morgan's name join the neon club -- only 3 members were on board, while 30 gave it a hard pass.
FOX 17 NewsIn particular, councilmember Jordan Huffman called out Morgan's comments and actions as hateful and harmful -- making it clear he's not exactly Nashville ambassador material in his book.
Morgan's got quite the history of controversial behavior ... and most recently, he was taken into custody on April 7 and booked on 3 felony counts of reckless endangerment and 1 misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct after throwing a chair off a downtown bar's roof.

Morgan's since pumped out an apology, claiming he's appalled by his own behavior.
But it seems like the damage is already done, especially when it comes to his new hangout spot getting the VIP treatment.
