Tootsie's World Famous Orchid Lounge

Disappointing. I could walk down any bar in my hometown of Wisconsin and find the same trashy bar that I could going down broadway. I'm sure it was great at one point in time, but it sure as heck isn't anymore.

The whole point is it's trash dive bar feel. Anyone who's someone in country music has picked strings on a stool here. It gets crowded but you can't come to nashville and not visit.

If you're into country music and drinks then this is the place for you. If not, then you're out of luck. 

Thought it's a great venue, 3 floors and a patio balcony. Just be prepared for stairs lol. Also watch out for awnings dripping with black stuff on this block. It'll stain your clothes.

I'll start by saying that I don't think that touristy places are necessarily bad... and if you're on Broadway, everything is going to be touristy already. The drinks are pricey, but there's no cover. Personally, I think it's worth it to stop in for a bit and soak in the vibes, but it probably won't be a life-changing experience for you.
