One of the District's best-known nightclubs, Tootsie's dates back to the 1960s, when Hattie Louise Tatum (aka "Tootsie") opened this downtown honky-tonk and gave stars-in-the-making like Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson a place to play. Today, the lounge has lost little of its original "dive" atmosphere, except for maybe a few added pictures here and there that trace the bar's history. If this is your first trip to Nashville, eschew everything else and head here first.
