ADDRESS: 422 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37203
CURRENT PROMOTION: 2010 marks Tootsie's 50th Anniversary!
BIO: (Full Version available upon request) - In the '60s, owner Tootsie Bess had a soft spot for struggling writers and nurtured the stomachs - and bar tabs - of greats like Roger Miller, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson. Today, the purple facade anchors Lower Broadway's colorful past, and the interior walls are crowded with publicity stills of the greats, the hopefuls and never-wills who came to town chasing dreams. Ultimately, this is the place locals insist on taking visitors when touring Nashville's nightlife. Today's country stars often drop in and surprise patrons with impromptu performances. Kenny Chesney, Kix Brooks, Hank Williams, Jr., Dierks Bentley, Randy Houser, Kid Rock, and John Rich are among those who've recently visited Tootsie's.
