Tootsie's Orchid Lounge

After a day exploring the roots of the "Country Music Capital of the World," why not experience the sounds of Music City first-hand? If you're looking for an authentic atmosphere with top-notch performances, "World Famous" Tootsie's Orchid Lounge is the place to go. Since the days when the Grand Ole Opry still sought refuge at the Ryman Auditorium, this downtown bar has been featuring performances by both world-renowned and up-and-coming artists. You can swing and say at Tootsie's til the wee hours of the morning, and luckily, there is no cover charge. For a list of upcoming performances, check out the lounge's website.
