The Honky Tonk Scene in Nashville: Tootsie's Orchid Lounge

Eric & I get a friendly wave
from a man passing out
brochures in front of
Tootsie's Orchid Lounge.

Tootsie's photo hangs over

the bar.

She ran the bar from 1960

to 1978.

Steve Smith took over Tootsie's in 1993.  His goal is to maintain Tootsie's traditions on the Honky Tonk Highway.

A singer performs near
the front window.

The second floor bar

There's a bar playing

here too.

The roof top bar

The view from Tootsie's

roof....

.... includes the Bridgestone

Arena.

I like this....  Let's see what Nashville's other  Honky Tonks have to offer.
