"Kid Rock’s establishment ruined the days when you could casually walk down Broadway and decide where to check out based on the music coming out of each bar. There’s a full band going hard from open to close, and Kid clearly insists that only his music blasts through the speakers in between. It looks like a giant warehouse taken over by “rock and roll, man” and it smells like bad decisions as soon as you walk in. The main floor bar is outfitted with blacklights, a slang term for female anatomy is illuminated in pink neon on the second floor, and the menu has a staggering amount of syrupy sweet drinks with names like Fist of Rage. All of this is supposed to complement a $56 ribeye. For a place where the goal is to be the loudest and most obnoxious, it thankfully employs some powerhouse vocal talent most of the time." - ann walczak

"The merch table at Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk & Rock ‘n’ Roll Steakhouse on Lower Broad sells bumper stickers that read: “Don’t turn Nashville into the sh*t hole city you moved here from.”" - Daniel Maurer
"Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk & Rock ’N’ Roll Steakhouse, which remains open — coincidentally, at the same intersection as Ole Red and Luke’s 32 Bridge." - Madeleine Davies
"After inspectors observed staff serving patrons at the bar on Saturday in violation of Phase Two rules, I report that the Metropolitan Beer Board unanimously voted today to issue a five-day beer permit suspension to Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Steakhouse; under Phase Two restaurants may open at 75 percent capacity but bars must remain closed. Inspector Melvin Brown said the establishments “were in violation of two points of the order that states bar areas must remain closed to the public,” adding that “no interaction with the public is allowed, and alcohol can only be served at tables and booths,” and he said he’ll make repeat visits to check for further violations. Mayor Cooper announced the city is on track to enter Phase Three on Monday, when bars could operate at half-capacity." - Delia Jo Ramsey
