In the Riley Strain case, Luke Bryan’s bar reports he had just one drink before exiting.
The bar’s account challenges Strain’s family’s fears of him being overserved. His stepfather, Chris Whiteid, reported to FOX 17 that the bartender suggested Strain had been overserved while paying his bill.
TC Restaurant Group, owner of Luke’s 32 Bridge, stressed their support for the investigation.
They swiftly gave Nashville Police details, including security videos, timestamped photos of Riley Strain, transaction data, and staff statements.
During the tense search for Strain, who failed to return to their Hilton five blocks away, his friends and family reported him missing.
This sparked a city-wide search—by ground, air, and river—without any trace of him yet.
Authorities and Strain’s family urge anyone with information to come forward, hoping for his safe return. The case raises questions about establishments’ duty to ensure patron safety, especially with alcohol involved.
