About Tootsie's Orchid Lounge

Tootsies is a country music institution and world famous honky tonk located right across the alley from the Ryman on Broadway's main strip. Tootsies has three stages which host live local talent each night usually performing a mix of originals, modern and classic country. According to legend, Willie Nelson got his first songwriting gig after playing here.
