![]() ![]() The interior is a bit plain–and that’s fine because all eyes are on the stage. It’s a karaoke bar with a bazillion tracks of popular songs. Hours: M-Th, 11am-close, Fri-Sun, 10am-close. ![]() The menu might surprise you with choices including sushi, a veggie burger and an elk-burger. Floor 3 is another stage along with a bar and a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Floor 2 is more a restaurant vibe with live music piped in from below and a whole bunch of TVs. There’s live music leaning toward modern country on the first floor. Statistically speaking, police are called to Kid Rock’s more than any other establishment on Lower Broadway so take note if you’d prefer a less rowdy environment. The menu includes more steak options than most places but they also serve chili, burgers and salads. Not into music? There are 4K TVs on each floor. By the numbers: 5 floors, 5 stages and 6 bars. Unlike some places that lean toward acoustic solo performers and duos in the afternoons, Kid Rock’s is all about bands. The playlist includes ’70s-’90s rock as well as Kid Rock covers. If you’re looking for music that leans more toward rock than country, there’s a good bet that you’ll find it here. Kid Rock’s Big A– Honky Tonk Rock’n’Roll Broadway. They’re available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Upstairs you can drop in for a line dancing class. Both floors have stages where you’re likely to hear country and southern rock.

When I was growing up, this shotgun shack of a building housed Tillman’s Butcher Shop these days, it’s out with the T-bones and in with the 100-proof moonshine. Quite a feather in their cap!

On the first floor, home to Acme Radio Live, you place your food order at the counter and they’ll bring it to you while you listen to live music.
