How To Not Get Carded Outside Tootsies Like a Baby Bird: A Crash Course in Tootsie's Age Policy
Let's face it, folks. You're in Nashville. The boots are scootin', the guitars are twangin', and there's a honky tonk legend on every corner. But before you grab your cowboy hat and hightail it to Tootsies Orchid Lounge, the undisputed king of them all, there's a hurdle to jump: age.
How Old To Get In Tootsies Nashville |
The Age-Old Question (Literally): 21 or Bust?
Yep, just like buying a round of Fireball shots (questionable choice, by the way), you gotta be 21 or older to get into Tootsies after 7:00 pm.
Why 7:00 pm, you ask? Well, that's when the music gets a little louder, the drinks flow a little freer, and things turn into a full-blown honky tonk throwdown. Minors are welcome before that magic hour, but they gotta be with a guardian and ready to hightail it out before the party gets started.
QuickTip: Read section by section for better flow.
Signs You Might Be Too Young for Tootsies:
- You ask for a "Shirley Temple" with a wink and a nudge.
- Your fake ID has a picture of a hamster wearing a Stetson hat (creative, but not gonna fly).
- You try to use your participation trophy collection as collateral for cover.
Look, there's no shame in being a young buck (or doe) with a hankering for some good ol' country music. Nashville's got plenty of other great spots with live music that are all-ages friendly. But for the full Tootsies experience, you gotta wait until you're legal to sip a cold one and two-step the night away.
