Despite Nashville Mayor John Cooper’s request to close down Lower Broadway due to the coronavirus, countless bars have refused to shut their doors
’s Big A-- Honky Tonk Rock N' Roll Steakhouse remained open, as did Tootsies Orchid Lounge, Rippy's Honky Tonk, Honky Tonk Central and the Diner. All venues are owned by Steve Smith, who initially called the mayor's request “unconstitutional.”
Meanwhile, the mayor held a news conference on Monday afternoon where he laid out his plans for the city’s response strategy. “The bottom line is that we are making health decisions that are both in line and on the leading edge of best practices nationwide for the sake of protecting our community,” Cooper said. “The decision to declare public health emergency, temporarily close bars and place restrictions on restaurants in Davidson county are serious public health decisions.
