Nashville is on the verge of reopening businesses, much like every other city in America. And to keep things as safe as possible, the local health department was out this past weekend.

14 businesses in the area were fined for being out of compliance with health orders according to Taste of Country. One of those businesses was none other than Kid Rock’s Honky Tonk bar.

The citation was for serving customers at the bar and not following social distancing guidelines. There will be a fine to pay, but the amount has not been decided yet.

Here’s a photo from the bar over the weekend:

This was last night at Kid Rock’s bar in Nashville. Our cases in TN are skyrocketing. All of our local, independent venues have been closed for three months, and there’s no sign of financial aid coming their way from our city, state, or the federal government. Steve Smith – the man who owns this bar, and many others in Nashville – is fairly cozy with our mayor @johncooper4nashville and carries a lot of weight here in town. He has also reportedly been antagonizing people into removing their masks at his businesses and boycotting our shutdowns entirely. He likely wants to see all of our local independent venues fail because he stands to benefit financially from it while our local original music scene will collapse in on itself. He and his businesses have been a stain on this town for years now*. I don’t even really know what to say, except: speak up on behalf of our more sensible populace and our local businesses that have been hung out to dry. They need your help. *Please note, I don’t begrudge anyone for going to work right now. Unemployment and $1,200 are nowhere near enough, if you were even able to get it in the first place. #Repost @jerryroe #nashville #kidrock #savesmallmusicvenues #musicvenues
