Tootsie’s

Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge World-Famous Honky-Tonk on Broadway

Nashville’s iconic purple landmark and country music institution since 1960, when Hattie Louise “Tootsie” Bess turned a spot called Mom’s into a legendary haven for songwriters and stars like Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and countless others.

Tootsie’s pulses with non-stop live music across three stages and three bars over multiple floors, delivering a mix of classic country, modern hits, originals, and crowd-pleasers every day—no cover charge.

The open-air rooftop offers epic skyline views, prime Broadway people-watching, and that electric Lower Broadway energy right across the alley from the historic Ryman Auditorium.

Grab Southern bites from the kitchen (served to all floors), cold drinks, and dive into the fun, chaotic heart of Music City—where legends were born and the party never stops.

 Hours: Open daily 9:30 AM – 3:00 AM (kitchen until 1:00 AM) Details: 21+ venue, full bar & food, rooftop access
