Kid Rock’s Nashville Bar Damaged By Fire
On Tuesday morning (March 17), emergency crews were called to Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N’ Roll Steakhouse on Nashville’s Lower Broadway after reports that the building had caught fire.
Firefighters quickly arrived on the scene, along with police officers who cleared the area and temporarily blocked it off until it was safe for pedestrians.
Videos taken by onlookers captured the moment the Nashville Fire Department extended a ladder to the top of the four-story building.

Officials told WKRN the fire occurred in the VIP room’s ceiling on the mezzanine, near a front window. It was later confirmed that flames were first seen in the bar’s ductwork, likely caused by a heating element that had gotten caught on a piece of insulation.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported. It’s still unclear how much damage the fire caused to the bar.
Photos shared on X by news anchor Peyton Kennedy show visible damage to the ceiling.
