Country music star and owner of Redneck Riviera John Rich said that his Nashville bar is open for business and following all coronavirus guidelines.
Rich told FOX Business' Stuart Varney that the bar has only been partially opened due to state and local restrictions.
"We’re not allowed to have live music, for instance,” he said. “But we’ve got people coming through the doors and right now we’ve had no issues with people following the rules. Everybody’s keeping their distance and doing it the right way.”

“Nashville doesn’t require customers to wear a face mask but we offer masks to all of our customers,” he said. “And then, of course, all of our employees have their temperatures checked and they are wearing masks.”
