The country star said he has no plans of banning Bud Light at his new bar, Friends In Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk, in Nashville, despite conservative boycotts.

It looks like transphobic and homophobic Nashvillians will have to keep drinking at Kid Rock's Honky Tonk because Garth Brooks will be serving Bud Light at his new bar.

The country star and longtime ally of the LGBTQ+ community claimed he has no plans on caving to conservative criticism and banning the brew at Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk, set to open some time this summer.


If you recall, many bigoted conservatives threatened to boycott Bud Light after their partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Many even filmed their mantrums and posted them to social media... for example shooting up cases of the beer with a semi-automatic rifle *cough* Kid Rock *cough.*

But not only does singer plan to provide Bud Light, he also plans to provide a safe place where everyone feels welcomed and loved.

Brooks recently explained to Billboard:

"I want it to be a place you feel safe in, I want it to be a place where you feel like there are manners and people like one another."
“And yes, we’re going to serve every brand of beer. We just are. It’s not our decision to make."

He continued:

"Our thing is this, if you [are let] into this house, love one another."
"If you’re an a**hole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway.”

People on social media shared their excitement over the welcoming bar and applauded Brooks for speaking out against immature bigots.







Some country music fans expressed their outrage that their beloved performer has gone "woke", but Brooks has been an outspoken ally for decades.

In 1992, he even released and performed "We Shall Be Free," which boasts the lyrics:

“When we’re free to love anyone we choose.”

Well done, Garth, and thank you for being one of the few to stand up to the backlash instead of backing down.
