The live music here is exceptional. Two bands: one upstairs and one downstairs. They take requests for tips (Free Bird is a $100 song, apparently, but they will play it!) The crowd is an eclectic mix of the very young and the middle aged which makes for an interesting dynamic. But it works most of the time. It gets pretty... more

Tootsies is jammed pack with fans. It is a great place to listen to some great bands BUT I would not eat there and make sure you find a restroom someplace before entering. I have never seen a place as dirty as that one! Try the Second Fiddle close by - the restrooms are cleaner and the music is just... more

When we were on vacation in Nashville in June, my wife graciously volunteered to watch our young children one night so that I could go downtown and check out the live music venues along Broadway. Well, stopping at the world-famous Tootsie's Orchid Lounge was a no-brainer! The place was packed on the Thursday night that I visited, and though I... more

Tootsies is jam packed with people out to have a good time. If you are into drinking a cold beer, dancing and listening to some great music, then Tootsies is for you. I have watched Steven West twice and he puts on an awesome show...Smokin HOT!!! more

We were in Nashville for a week and went to Tootsies on April 11th 2009. We saw a band called Renegade in the afternoon. They were great. We went back to hear this band for a second show in the evening of the same day. We were surprised to see that Ronnie Godfrey was on stage with them performing. What... more

While this place was really quiet a hoot, it was definitely not of the quality of a good ole Texas honky tonk. They (the band upstairs) did not even know the words to David Allan Coe! Other than the stupid band and the musty dirty smell we had a pretty good time. I knew when the music improved dramatically about... more

We went there in Feb. of 07. We drove up to Nashville, from "The Road To The Horse" competition, held in Murfreesburo, which is about a half hour away. My best friend, my daughter and myself, were looking forward to checking out some of the night spots in Nashville. I had heard that Tootsies was a 'must see' place. -There... more
