Kid Rock’s Big Honky Tonk & Steakhouse Experience
If you’ve ever wandered down Broadway, Nashville’s most electric mile, you know this stretch is lined with honky-tonks, neon lights, and the sound of live guitars seeping out of every doorway. Among all these spots, Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk & Rock ‘n’ Roll Steakhouse stands out like a rebel in cowboy boots. My first time here, I was drawn in by the unmistakable energy—the kind that makes you want to stay all night, even if you’d only meant to pop in for a drink. What really makes this spot pop is the fusion of rowdy, freewheeling country bar energy with a surprisingly solid steakhouse menu. The place feels larger-than-life, from the sprawling multi-level layout to the sheer noise of it all. If you’re after a spot where music, great people-watching, and unfiltered fun collide, this is definitely it.- Four-story entertainment venue with live music on each floor
- Rooftop bar with skyline views
