Editorial Review for Tootsie's Orchid Lounge – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
In the '60s, owner "Tootsie" Bess had a soft spot for struggling writers and nurtured the stomachs--and bar tabs--of greats like Roger Miller, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson. Today, the purple facade anchors Lower Broadway's colorful past, and the interior walls are crowded with publicity stills of the greats, the hopefuls and never-wills who came to town chasing dreams. Ultimately, this is the place locals insist on taking visitors when touring Nashville's nightlife.

Definitely a place to visit. Really busy and a great atmosphere. Really is a basic club/pub and the bar staff are really busy & some fairly hot too :) I've come over from the UK on a Tessitura conference and everyone from the UK and US enjoyed equally. I wasn't into country or bluegrass, but seeing it live has changed my opinion. The only disappointing part was I wasn't ID'd at all in Nashville. I obviously fit in with the mid 30's crowd
Pros: Great music on both floors
Cons: Downstairs was a bit busy

A singer named Melanie Torrez damaged my hand purposely because we didnt tip her on 8-15--08. We had tipped already several times. My hand is damaged and I will be seeing the Dr. and a Lawyer
