The perimeter initially established is still being held as crews investigate the incident. The Nashville Fire Department reported that flames were spotted in the bar’s ductwork, which would align with firefighters being seen climbing the ladder to the top of the building. WKRN’s Peyton Kennedy later shared photos that were captured at the scene confirming that Kid Rock’s Big Honky Tonk & Rock n’ Roll Steakhouse did, in fact, suffer fire damage. “Visible damage inside Kid Rock’s — crews on scene could not immediately comment.” Visible damage inside Kid Rock’s — crews on scene could not immediately comment — we are waiting to hear back from the Nashville fire dept @WKRN https://t.co/WdHFsYHelk pic.twitter.com/Ngc212kfLl — Peyton Kennedy (@peytonTVkennedy) March 17, 2026 Those pictures do align with the initial reports from the NFD saying the fire had been spotted in the ductwork of the bar and restaurant. So far, no injuries have been reported. The Nashville Fire Department has yet to release an official statement on the incident.
