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. :blink: 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.

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.

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? :idontno: Maybe they'll have flipflops on the wall!!! :rolling:

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

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?

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

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. :eek:

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!

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