Tootsie's Orchid Lounge on Broadway

Tootsie's Orchid Lounge is a historic honky-tonk established in the early 1960s located directly across from the Ryman Auditorium. The bar's neon signage, alleyway, and rooftop views are common subjects of photography and video; images and clips from Tootsie's are frequently reposted on social media. Its longstanding association with country artists and tourist foot traffic contributes to its frequent appearance in viral Nashville nightlife content.
