Tootsie's World Famous Orchid Lounge Review

Went down on Friday night had a great time. The band was amazing great bartender. Drinks and dancing great atmosphere.

Great atmosphere, great music, but slow getting service at a time where it is not crowded on the third floor.

They should do something about that smell but the rooftop is pretty cool.

Watching Stanley CUP Finals Game from rooftop. Awesome

Historic bar with wall to wall people on all levels. Great music on every floor! Got to experience it!

3 floors of variety and alcohol! What more can you ask for?

Great people, awesome bartenders and incredible music.

Tootsie is the place to be. Check out their rooftop patio, beautiful view of Broadway. Overpriced shots, will ravage your wallet, but the view is nice and great live music.

Great band was playing and then Elvis showed up. Would definitely go again

Very smoky bar, and the drinks are expensive. But, on the plus side... it's supposed to be haunted by Hank Williams! At least the iphone ghost tour I was following said so -- but I didn't see anything. Maybe next time.

Huge amount of history! Artists of all kinds have been here and their pictures cover the walls to the ceiling for three floors! Awesome live music singers!

Pretty happy with our visit as Considering how busy it is ( even during the week) it was pretty easy to order!

Very very small. Old so looks dirty. Good music & the people were having a great time! A Nashville icon. Never did get a drink as couldn't get the waitress attention.

We paid a bit extra in order to sit at a VIP table while waiting outside The hostess was extremely attentive we were right next to the band and got to enjoy both the inside and the outside atmosphere around the bar

Awesome place to visit. Love the history in this place. To bad George Jones wasn't there.

My wife absolutely loved it here. Did not disappoint. It was exactly what she thought it would be, and I'll say the bands were top notch.

Incredible live music with three different levels - each with different bands. Requests will cost you $20 a pop but it's a great time and there's no cover.

Great experience to finally see the world famous Tootsies, it did not disappoint. Great music and great atmosphere.

I feel like you really need to be drunk to enjoy the atmosphere here. What is very cool is it's three separate levels all having a different band. One level actually had two bands on the same level which was kind of odd and the music interferes with each other as there was one inside and one on the rooftop. There were so many Bridal parties you really couldn't hear the music only the obnoxious girls screaming and trying to sing. we had gone here during the day and thought we were really excited to go back in the evening but when we went back in the evening we quickly left.

It's a place to go in Nashville ... Probably one of the best downtown Honky-tonks ... with Live shows ... Jam sessions ... A place to have good drinks ... And have fun ... Just or in a group..Highly recommended .. Ancient structure .. Bohemia ... I would return..No doubt ..

Cool venue great live music several floors and lots of bars

Perfect place to experience the Nashville experience

great time old school country dive.drinks are pricey

We had a great time, the band was great and the drinks cold! Very cool seeing the history on the walls. Tootsies is a must visit!!!

Tootsie's is a Nashville staple, lots of fun, and there's almost always live music

Music filled bar with multiple levels of fun. Each floor had a slightly different theme with live music throughout. We went during January so it was chilly, but the roof top was still a nice place to hang out as long as you're bundled up.

THE LGBT COMMUNITY IS NOT WELCOME AT THIS ESTABLISHENT. My friend was harassed by both the women's and men's bathroom attendents and was forced to stand and wait to use the bathroom while the attendents let others in line use the bathroom. While this was happening the attendents called security and my friend was escorted out for simply being himself and trying to use the restroom. Civil rights have been violated. We have proceeded to take legal action against the bar.
Ps. General Manager of the bar, please retain a laywer, you'll need one.

Extremely crowded the night we went but what a great time. Definitely one of my favorite bars on Broadway. There was a great band playing downstairs and an even better band upstairs. Also a very nice rooftop area to see the city.

As Professional talent agent , I can agree that Jenny Lou was the least impressive. Her look will never make it let alone her voice , she doesn t stand a chance .

Tootsies is a classic Nashville "honky-tonk" bar filled with great people and lots of energy.

Lots of levels, very busy bar, bar food, and a nice roof top.

I loved this bar - the only downside was the female bathroom attendant - she made it very uncomfortable to use the restroom and almost scared me to use it again. If you go here, be sure to use the restroom prior to going to the bar.

The blond tall bar woman makes you feel uncomfortable as soon as you walk in. She waves at you immediately and she asks you to order a drink. Totally not welcoming. I felt attacked. Come on let people breath first. No one is stupid enough to stand there without a drink. So weird. There are so many other bars around. People have a big choice so please don't act like that.

Awesome place music was good, great staff fast food.

SUPER crowded, the industrial A/C unit blows straight down on the people trying to hang out with their friends, even with two big ass fans and the garage doors open they couldn't keep the place cool... The band was great but the amount of people and the hoops you had to jump through to get a drink drove us out

Multiple levels of fun. I love the old memorabilia, signed pictures, etc....

SUCH a cool bar. Every level had a different performer and I truly loved them all. My favorite was the upstairs area because the band playing was KILLING IT. They played country songs and rock songs and did such a fun versatile variety. They were just really enjoying themselves which was fun to watch.

Packed house...from ground floor to the skyline..bar and live band on each landing

Overly pushy for tips for the band. Walked in the door and before one song had a guy begging for tips. And a new one for each floor. Drinks here are more expensive than most other bars nearby. And also was the most crowded. But it is a super interesting historical site. Go have a drink and move on.

Dam cool place and great bands and drinks. Right across from predators stadium

If the Ryman is the another Church of Country music, Tootsies is the sister venue. Just take time and look at all the pictures on the wall! It will test your country-western music knowledge. Foods pretty good too! The bands are A+++.

Well this place is a staple for any traveler to Nashville. Live music, rooftop, it has it all. Historical site with a buzz!

Great place , love it , recommend, good times always

Band on all 3 levels but very crowded no place to sit

If you get to Nashville Tootsies needs to be one of the top 5 places to go !!

I think this place is overrated and overpriced. Bartender was nice and made a good drink.

Fun time with great friendly servers and good music.

Great selection of brews. Lots of football on Sunday.

Overrated. Bands are very mediocre compared to the rest of the strip (they rarely play actual country songs), it's insanely crowed (literally being shoved into others), bar staff is nice though.

Great service for and extremely busy bar and the music was awesome

Three levels of restaurant/bar service. Rooftop bar has covered and uncovered areas. You'll recognize it by its pink color.

Amazing place where legends have played, music still thrives, and every night stars hope to shine brighter. A must stop on any trip to Nashville.

Damn good country music and the atmosphere is out of this world.

Tootsie's always has great live entertainment and now that they've added the extra level, crowds aren't quite as bad as they used to be (although there is always a crowd there). Not the best place on Broadway for traditional country music (I recommend Roberts and the Second Fiddle for that), as the bands are often more entertainers than just singers. As is the case with many of the Broadway honky tonks, I'd stick with bottled beer, as they aren't known for their cocktails. It's hard to go to Tootsie's without having a good time.

They have a no sleeve no entry policy for men only.

Good music...super crowded though, couldn't find space...we we're with a big crowd... would have loved to stay

Love this place for the real downtown Nashville experience! There are bands playing on 3 levels. The rooftop is great - especially at night because of all the neon lights on Broadway.

Very exciting place. Being on vacation, we had a blast

At Tootsie's the party never stops! A Nashville must! Don't miss it. Make sure you inquire about Grace Maher's next show; you won't regret it.
