Terrible, terrible, terrible. The bouncer here was so rude and inappropriate. He needs to be fired before anyone else should visit this bar. This man is a terrible representation of the establishment. I only have one star because I couldn't give zero.

Overall
A Nashville Must Do

This is a great place to feel the energy of Nashville for old and young alike. You can't help but get swept up with the music and the talent. What a thrill for country music fans to see autographed black and white photos of icons such as Hank Williams, Sr., Patsy Cline and countless others. It's a down-to-earth, old fashioned saloon located behind the historic Ryman Auditorium. If you visit Nashville, put Tootsie's Orchid Lounge on your list of things to experience. It is part of Nashville's rich music history, and you'll have a great time.
