Tootsies World Famous Orchid Lounge... Pier Park

[Smiling JOe]

That's right, Nashville-based, Tootsies (without the ' ) World Famous Orchid Lounge will soon be opening in Pier Park. Word is that they will have live music from 10am - 2am. That's a lot of music.


Pier Park is coming to life very quickly. Several restaurants are open for trial runs (for friends and family only). Landscaping is coming together, as are several stores. Grand Opening for several stores will still be this Thursday, Feb 14. Tootsies will open at a later date.

Oh boy- this ought to be good. Don't we know somebody named Tootsie?

[DD]

Looks like a funn place. Any place with the word "Lounge" in it has got to be funn.

Since you will never know which store is directly across the street from Tootsies, I'll tell you -- Mermaid's! lol. I am totally serious. Neither has their sign posted yet, or else you'd be looking at photos. The Bier Garden looks really cool inside, with a bunch of long pub-style tables, and plenty of outdoor seating.

I think you should be there for the grand opening.

Is Tootsies the place in Nashville that has boots lining the walls. At midnight the boots get marked down 50%?? A pretty good marketing idea, as I almost bought some one night. Think they'll do that at the beach? Maybe they'll have flipflops on the wall!!!

their people have not contact my people, for some reason.

A Nashville landmark comes to Sowal - How lucky are we!

[Paula]

Frankly, nothing can be our SoWal original Tootsie. But it's good that someone tries just to keep things interesting.

You should have gone in! This place is some kinda fun!!! The night we went we met some hockey players from the Canadian Maple Leafs, they were in town to play the Nashville Predators ()! Anyway, we had waaaaay to much fun.

That was back when I was young and could stay up past 8:45. We must plan a wench trip to this location.

There's Toronto Maple Leafs, and Montreal Canadiens, and many a years' strong rivalry between the two Original Six squads.

Allez Red Wings!

OK, so we may have been to a couple of places before we got there. Toronto is in Canada, so......I was close. Either way, we had a rip roarin' good time, whoever the heck those Canadians were, that played professional hockey.

What the puck...you had a good time! That's all that matters!!!

[Jdarg]

OK- I am still confused. Last time I visited you, you lived in Atlanta. Why were you watching the Nashville Predators? Did you move or sumpin'?

And did you drunk-buy some boots off the wall?

Put me in the penalty box. (If FBB only knew)

This was several years ago! I was on a business trip.

And did you drunk-buy some boots off the wall?

To the best of my knowledge, as if I had any of the evening, there were no boots on the wall. I don't think. I didn't have any strange boots the next day.
Like I said, "we had a reeeeaaal good time. That was before I ever drank a dargarita. Can you imagine.

[Teresa]

I would absolutely love love love to do this!!!!

[Jdarg]

OK- this place better be open this spring, and we will go when our "veteran Tootsie's professional", GGTBM, is in town to show us the ropes.

SoWal wench night at Tootsie's. There won't be any boots left in that joint.

Way too cool!!! Love, love, love country music - especially live!!!
One more reason to move there!!!! My list is growing!


So, when is Tootsies opening?

Tootsies is on the same strip o Broadway in Nashville, and the back alley spills out into the alley behind the Grand Ole Opry (the original, not the amusement park) and all the stars would go by Tootsies and hang til they came on, ar come and sit in after their show. The place with the boots is Roberts Western Wear, former home of the fabulous rockabilly band BR-549. I saw a Brazilian Elvis impersonater that was right on the last time I was there, name of El-Vez, and the fried baloney sammitch at midnite sealed the deal! If Tootsies goes with local and regional talent, and the talent pool here is deep, it ought to be fun!

[tistheseason]

You are totally right. The boot place was Roberts Western Wear. . . .and we went there specifically to see BR-549. (Love them!)

Tootsies is a really good time! On the rare occasion that I do decide to drive downtown and go honky tonkin', I got to Tootsies and Legends Corner (a few doors down from Tootsies). A few weekends ago my friends girlfriend set up a scavenger hunt through downtown Nashville for his brithday and 4 teams of 4 had to listen to clues on a CD and then drive to various locations to get the next clue. One of the clues lead me to running in the back door of Tootsies (from the back alley behind the Ryman Auditorium), through the upstairs bar, downstairs to the lower bar and ending up on the sidewalk in front of the bar where I had to play guitar and sing in order to get the next clue. The tourists gathered around hoping to get a show and I badly disappointed them! If you guys come to Nashville Ill buy you a beer at some cool hole in the wall music venues. Deal?
