A recent assault on a doorman at Robert’s Western World in downtown Nashville has left the owners of the well-known honky-tonk shaken. The attack took place on Thursday, June 20 around 10:35 p.m., and was captured on surveillance camera footage. According to Jones, the victim was punched, choked, tackled, and kicked while on the ground by a man in a black polo shirt. This is the third incident in recent years where an employee of Robert’s Western World has been physically attacked.
The community has shown support for the honky-tonk and helped identify the suspects involved in the assault. Charges against the perpetrators are pending. Jones emphasized the importance of holding offenders accountable for their actions and expressed gratitude for the friendships and connections fostered through Robert’s Western World. The owners stand by their employees and musicians, considering them an extension of their family. Despite this incident, they reiterated their zero-tolerance policy towards violence.
The doorman who was attacked is recovering well, but this event serves as a reminder of the need for community solidarity in condemning harmful behaviors and promoting accountability. The owners have turned to social media for support, denouncing such violent acts and asserting a stance of intolerance towards them.
