  Saw it once, don't have to see it again. The music was just ok, but I felt like a pinball cushion. I got bounced around on every side. I was very sore by the time our group of 5 left. My knees and hip hurt so much that I just had to get out of there. We went a half block down the street and we're lucky enough to get a table. Much better.

  Amazing place in Nashville. All pink. You cant miss it along Broadway. Terrific atmosphere. Live bands all day long. Playing jazz and country and western music. Was there on a Saturday night. Go early as it gets very busy.

  Wild and wonderful! Super spot. Lots of happy, friendly folks. I'd been there 20 years ago and got the chance to bring my down to see it. I wanted to show her two things in Nashville - the Parthenon and Tootsie's.

  Tootsies is definitely a place every tourist should experience at least once, but once was enough for me. the idea is solid: multi-level bar, with different live music on each floor. But the building is so crowded, you are lucky if you can squeeze your way through. I am pretty sure they were beyond capacity, and if I hadn't seen multiple police officers on each floor, I would think they were in code violation. The walls were gritty and grungy, the bathroom seemed to be the cleanest place in the joint... which was probably because they had an attendant in there continually wiping everything down. Restroom lines were horrible and the music was okay. Tootsies is a staple on Broadway. It was downtown before it was cool to go downtown, so it is a historical joint in Nashville. That said, there are cleaner, quieter bars with better music and room to dance. Go, so you can check it off your list, but don't plan to stay for more than a song or two at most.

  Super cool to visit the original tootsies! We went in the middle of winter and it was packed!! Like 3 floors packed with no place to sit. No room at any of the bars nor any available tables. I definitely like the one in panama city beach Florida better. But it was very cool to see it and experience it .if you like being crammed amongst others this is the place to be!
