Tootsie's World Famous Orchid Lounge Review

Absolutely felt amazing to be inside such a great place. Standing room only, at noon and they are partying hard.

Amazing! Went up to the rooftop bar and it was fantastic. Great views and great music.
Recommend you visit here!

A great place to hear country music and the people aren t bad, either. What history at the bar? The walls and tunnels that lead from Ryman to Tootsie s are legendary. Enjoy.

Very cool iconic place in Nashville. Music in several levels. Fun place. Worth stopping in.

To many people in a small bar. Could not even move.

Fun place. 3 floors of live music. Could use a little better beer selection

Its a Nashville classic, a must see, but I'd not frequent it if I lived here. Too crowded, which is to be expected, but also seemed very dirty and dingy. Rooftop was kind of neat though.

TERRIBLE BAR. DO NOT GO HERE. WILL WITHOLD YOUR IDENTIFICATION ILLEGALLY. IGNORANT BARTENDERS

I LOVE THIS PLACE. MY HUSBAND TREY HARRIS'S PICTURE IS ON THE WALL AT THE REGISTER 2ND FLOOR.

Great to see just to check it off the list, but way too crowded. I don't know how the fire marshall allows it to stay open with that many people in there

The rudest place I have ever visited. They close at 2:30am. But are more than happy to sell you a bottle of beer at 2:29 for $7. At exactly 2:30 they turn the lights on and scream at you to get out and then grab your drink from your hands. I went to get a plastic cup and the barmaid literally smacked it out of my hand and said you can't have a cup. In addition, the women's bathroom was disgusting, no toilet paper and garbage all over the floor. Maybe past artists have made Tootsies famous, but today (2018) your better off patronizing other establishments.

At first when you walk in to Tootsies it might get overwhelming because its so narrow, but when you have fantastic live country music you won't care one bit, because Tootsies has shows you how big it is with a great time! Before you know it your dancing and singing along with the music with not a care in the world! The drinks did where not cheap, but if you're not going to spend money you're going to the wrong city. The food was really good I had the Pulled Pork. Also, the staff was great for how many people fit in the place! Keep on Rockin Tootsies!

It was nice to have a server come up to you and take your order on a busy day even though you couldn't get a table yet. 3 floor of great music. Nice rooftop bar with its own bar so that you dont have to go back inside to an over crowded bar.

Classless men with classless cops. If you want to be insulted by patrons and police, it s a great place to go. I ll never be back.

Rooftop terrace was good but a little pricey in comparison to same type of bars along Broadway St

Extremely slow service, and when we tried to get in the second time, the bouncer at the door would't let my husband in because "he has stains on his shirt"...never mind the fact that he just got done working on the Pipeline that supplies this entire city!!

Very cool bar. The ambience is awesome and the bands are great!

This place is a Nashville must! Live music on every floor with top notch acts and a great atmosphere. Could stay here all day and never get bored.

There are a lot of honky tonk choices on Broadway but we finished our night at Tootsie's and are very glad we did. The band rocked!!! We hung out on the upper deck bar for a few hours and met a lot of cool people. You know it's a good time when you go in thinking "I've got to get up at 6 to get on a plane home" and you don't call an Uber until around 2 AM. This was a great place to drop the rest of my travel budget on drinks on our last night in town. Lots of history in this place as well which makes it one of the must-see bars to hit while you are out on the strip.

Historically awesome and the walls are something to see with all the memorabilia. Good music too!

Love this place..Brad Paisley did free concert for his video..plus many more stars frequently visit.

Great Fun, the place is massive with 3 stages, and a roof deck. The top floor is the way to go, much more room!

This place had the most energy out of Every bar I visited on broadway, the live music is phenomenal.

Historic place...always packed. $7 beer seems crazy but whatever

Decent bar with live music. This is a staple in Nashville that you have to go to at least once. Drinks were priced high, but no cover when I was there so it equals out in the long run.

One of our favorite experiences of Nashville. The live music was really great, it seemed like the people there were having a good time, polite and fun to meet. We would go back in a heart beat if we visited Nashville again.

They basically shovel as many people as possible though the front door to charge them for over priced beer - $7 PBR - This place is awful. Only go here if you enjoy a a real strong rip off. Never again.

A must go to place!! We loved the vibe, people and bands. It's our favorite place in Nashville.

Great bands! Cool multi floor setup. Lots of people having a good time!

Awsome experience. Went on a Saturday Night and it was packed. Would like to go back when its not so crowded. Tootsies Orchid Lounge is definitely a *MUST* when in Nashville, TN!

Unbelievably OVERCROWD. you couldn't move once you finally pushed through the narrow path between the bar and tables and had a harder time leaving. I would not go back Truly a fire hazzard. That many people should not be allowed in. I am guessing Tennessee doesn't have a occupant limit??. The band was good.

If you are in Nashville, you must have a beer here. It is one if the oldest bars downtown.

Loved Tootsies. The band playing on the 2nd floor was amazing!

Music is great, atmosphere is fun, and Coors light is $6. Your choice.

Great atmosphere, friendly bartenders, band is constantly asking for $20 to sing a request and walking around asking for donations. Bands don't get paid .

Vintage Nashville....what we all come here for. Real country, Real people

Great music from an up an coming group, Lando Hel r on. Awesome!

World renown great music a small place so you may have to stand but it's a must on the trip

Always love this place. Little crowded but they have the best bands

Off the charts fun! The live music was great and I had the best time I can remember having at a bar ever!

Okay, to be fair, this place would qualify as a tourist trap to some. But we had such a great time it is deserving of some love. The band played the crowd wonderfully. Drinks were expensive, but the same as all the other Broadway bars. The bartenders brought those drinks fast! Probably won't go back unless I'm entertaining out of town guests, but this will be one of our stops.

Nothing is cheap while visiting the tourist trap downtown area of Nashville however one can't put a price on drinking a cold one at some of the famous honky tonks. Expect no cover but double the cost of what one would normally pay for drinks. Bring plenty of cash these bands get paid with tips, help the up coming chase their dreams.

This place is loud, crazy, and everything you want in a honky tonk. Can't beat the history. Go and stop in for a drink and hear some great music!

A Nashville treasure to be sure. Fun atmosphere and good stuff to drink.
Even on a Wednesday night, place was packed!!! That should tell you something.

Happy bday to the lounge! Amazing live concert in the street!

This place is a landmark for honkey tonk bars. There are up and down nights, but you always know what you get when you go here. Location and consistent fun are the reasons I rate this 5 stars.

Apparently after 6pm you can't wear a sleeveless shirt in there. It's hot as heck out, like come on!

What else is there to say? Tootsies is a classic and is a must-visit.

Amazing music. The food was alright and the service was kinda bad. The only reason why it is a 3 because of the music.

Staff could be a bit more pleasant and maybe smile every now and then!!!

Lunch was delicious. Service was a little slow even though it wasn't busy but all in all a good experience. Amazing live music !!

Great live music, and the food and drinks were good

Can barely walk..if you like to get shoved around ...pressured to tip people in bathroom an rude bartenders other than that..it was ok

Great place for some good music at nice, has a nice rooftop bar as well.

Loved the live music on the top floor! Went during the day on a Sunday afternoon and had a drink with a large group. Great rooftop view too.

Love the atmosphere and there is always live music! Best to avoid Friday and Saturday as you will wait for at least an hour..pretzel bites were delicious

Always a great time to be had here!
I visit everytime I'm In Nashville.
