Bootleggers Inn

I stopped by Bootleggers on July 4 on Nashvilles Broadway, and Im so glad I did! The atmosphere was calm but vibrant, even at 10 am. What really made my experience stand out was the exceptional service provided by my waitress, Melody.Melody was warm, friendly, and attentive from the moment she greeted me. I was alone and she took the time to chat with me about my favorite drinks and made me a fun moonshine bevie. Her enthusiasm for her job was palpable.The bar itself is cozy and intimate, with a great selection of beers and cocktails.Overall, my experience at Bootleggers was top-notch thanks to Melodys fantastic service. If youre looking for a great spot to grab a drink or meet up with friends, look no further. And be sure to ask for Melody - shell take great care of you!

Enjoyed the Thursday night country music and moonshine flights. Cocktails were good too. Bartender was attentive and even made the root beer moonshine better by adding splash of coke

Great low key place to escape the heat and the madness of Broadway. Prices arent too bad, music was good and the bartenders were very friendly and attentive. The only downside of this place was the irritating construction that is currently taking place right next door. The noise of it was loud and almost drowned out the sound of the tunes. I know its not Bootleggers fault and its only temporary so they still get 5 ✨s from those ol cowboy 🤠!

Popped in for a beer while walking broadway. Good location and great atmosphere. Love the live music.

This was my favorite bar on broadway. Jake is super talented, he has a great voice. Janet’s super friendly and mixed a great cocktail. The laid back vibe and live tunes made this my favorite spot on broadway. The moonshine is delicious and their price is the best on the block. I highly recommend stopping if you’re visiting this area.

We didnt eat there so I dont know how the food is. We signed up for the line dancing class that took place upstairs, which was so much fun! The instructor was great, the atmosphere was fun, and the shots we had tasted good. Overall it was a fun time.

Ducked in after trying to escape the craze of broadway and it was perfect. A nice blend of people but space with great music and a fun decor. Definitely a great time!!

A small place, they had a great singer. Music wasnt blasting and a large selection of moonshine.

Looked for a place to have a drink and picked this place for no special reason, but it was a jackpot!!Second floor had softer music and less people in it, but the first floor is where the action is.Had a beer, made small talk with some people, and listened to a great band, that played different songs from different eras and styles.Dont know about the other honky tonks, but this one was great!!

Great live music by Rocky Bottom! Not many in the crowd due to construction on the sidewalk. People missed out because the one man band had some of the best musical talent along Broadway.

Liked the smaller bar. Service was horrible. 3 bartenders all standing together playing around with each other. Clearly seeing several of us waiting to order drinks.. completely ignored us. We literally had to say .... Hello? Can we order drinks? There were only 5 other people in the bar. Really unfortunate, we would have stayed for a while, enjoyed the band and ordered more. Really there was no reason for the poor service.

By far my favorite bar on the strip, prices were on point and the drinks were delicious. I recommend the apple pie cocktail and the strawberry margarita, also try the oatmeal cookie moonshine it’s excellent! Every bartender was super friendly and engaging, and the bands on both floors were great.

Great music and really friendly staff - thank you! Would highly recommend!

Rooftop bar was a blast. Crowd was energetic and fun. Drinks were reasonable price and good pours. Try the Mule Kicker!

Super fun, friendly, and great drink prices for Broadway. Entertainment is top notch. Great place to chill during the day with mostly acoustic acts and great bands starting in the evening to close. Might have the coldest beer on Broadway, and the moonshine is delicious.

This place have everything you could want in a local watering hole type place. Intimate setting. Really great two peice band was playing when I went there. The bartender was super nice and friendly. This place definitely gave me an at-home vibe, like it could be my local pub down the street.

Cool bar to hang out in. The service was great and the atmosphere is just the same. We stopped by on a Sunday morning and relaxed with a few drinks. Live music and cold beer-isn’t that what it’s all about. Definitely recommend it.

Many of the Broadway bars are loud and heavy on the party. Bootleggers was a perfect stop for true acoustic guitar pickin’. The performer, Steve, was engaging with the crowd, and played more of the older honky tonk songs. It was a much needed break from the loud booming music in other joints. Katy at the bar was fast and kind!

Great service with friendly staff. A bit off the grid. Layout works but is a bit different than the norm. Bathrooms ok.

Love the moonshine choices here. Had to have the Mango Habenero. Tasty and hot. The band performing when we came in was fantastic, as always. Great atmosphere for such a small space

Bootleggers was by far the best little dive bar on Broadway. Music was amazing and the drinks were not over priced! The staff and bartenders on point! We bar hopped everywhere in Nashville but always ended up back at Bootleggers. Best hands down

We stopped here on our walking tour of Nashville. This is an old time bar, not corporate. There was a great energy in the place. Band was playing on stage. Crowd was happily watching and enjoying the atmosphere. We were allowed upstairs to take pictures, that was a great space.

Wife and I were walking down the street and heard a woman’s voice belting out a Joan Jett tune. So we went in for one and then heard Pat Benatar and then a bunch of other classics. Met some super nice patrons in the cozy little place and had a blast. You gotta stop and get a little change of pace there.

I left a negative review of an experience I had with an employee, and the owner was quick and eager to hear what I had to say. This is my go to bar to just chill and listen to good music from artists I’ve never heard before. Back again, after a long break from Nashville. I love this stage. I love the one artists and a guitar thing.

Okay bar at the end of the strip. Crowd was a bit older. Literally no beers on tap (is that even a bar?). Lots of weird moonshine flavors. They did have live music, which was a plus. Also not crowded - another win.

My absolute FAVORITE bar on Lower Broadway. While some may be offended at dive bar, I use that term with endearment. A great little spot with some amazing bartenders, great mixed moonshine drink selection and fantastic music. Its a must for us every time and should be for you as well!

Small bar, not crowded, good musician. Reminded me of Nashville from 20 years ago. Probably my favorite bar all night.

Cool lil iconic spot! Gets a lil tight when busy, but that’s part of the experience. 😂

Cool bar! They had a low key vibe and live music that was great.Bar tender was super knowledgeable and insanely talented. She was the only one working and she took care of everybody super quickly. Impressed.Drinks are on the pricier side, but I guess thats typical with any bar. Cool experience!

Service was amazing, live music was fantastic (Jake Blue was his name I think) and the atmosphere was fun and inviting!

Loved it they played the old time country music

This is always our first stop on Broadway, the bands are good, the venue very comfortable. The service is fast and friendly. Very personable. Mixed crowd, lots of inpropmptu dancing and fun light party atmosphere. Easy to talk to people here. Not a place for food, but grab s drink and relax a bit.

Fair drink and beer prices with a good selection of moonshine. Always has a good entertainment as well.

Great place. Staff gos out of their way to help you

Great small bar for that personal experience in the heart of downtown Nashville. The bar has a mediocre stock of whiskey, but to their credit, they have a ton of moonshine flavors. The live music was great. I really liked Finlay. 👍It may be important to note that this is a bar only. They do not serve food.

Great live music. Usually just a solo act with a guitar which is a nice change from some of the bigger venues. Moonshine was great all different flavors. We tried the apple pie (easy choice), oatmeal cookie (by far the best out of all we tasted), fruit punch, and jalapeno. Small place but definitely worth stopping in!

You can smoke in this place!!! I dunno . . . it might even be mandatory. Music is pretty decent. Roomy enough place. Its worth going just for the smell of draft beer and old tobacco. Loved it!!

We did a line dancing class upstairs here. Had a blast then had a few drinks down stairs. Good fun, good drinks, good live music.

We took line dancing classes here. Highly recommend, it was so much fun.

A bar with just the right Nashville atmosphere. You have to be at a certain skill to perform I guess but the singer today was really good. The bartender was very good, friendly and professional and the crowd was clearly into the music and enjoying their time there. Will definitely go back.

Superb bar. Just had drinks here and loved the place

Every time I visit Nashville I come here because the drinks are amazing. I love the moonshine drinks they make. The easiest one to drink in my opinion is the watermelon moonshine, but the oatmeal cookie is still very easy to drink and absolutely delicious. Check it out if you plan on visiting Broadway.

Went upstairs and had a few drinks while listening to the band sing some 90s country which was great.

Great little place to catch some great music off the beaten path

Cool bar with tons of moonshine, some even made in house. The bartender was nice and efficient, talked us through a lot of the flavors and what was good and giving good recommendations. Would come back to try other flavors and for the friendly service

Bar service was really slow the night we went even though it wasnt very busy. I liked the band that was playing and really liked the moonshine. They had a ton of flavors to choose from. I had the oatmeal cookie moonshine.

A bit hidden near the end of Broadway, but well worth the visit. Because of the smaller crowd, youll find yourself being able to have actual conversation with the folks around you.

Superb selection of Moonshine. I sipped on wild cherry. Loved it.

Didnt eat...there for lime dancing lessons but enjoyed by all

Purposely bent and snapped a VALID state I.D in half due to their belief it was fake. It was a state issued drivers license. There was no funny business either. Not even an apology after Metro PD confirmed its authenticity. I cannot wrap my head around this. Good luck to out of state vistors flying home right. Very disappointed in this establishment.

Stopped to hear some great music and a drink. Great place.

Great place for underage kids to get into with fake IDS. I was outside smoking and overheard the manager with gray hair kinda young looking tell the security guy to let everyone in he didnt care if the ID was fake or not. I personally will not be going back there and I will be posting this on my Instagram account. SHAME ON YOU ALL

I don’t know if they serve food but they have good drinks and this they say is the oldest bar in downtown Nashville. It’s a narrow little place you might even miss. It’s just past kid rocks bar heading toward the Cumberland River. The night I was there they had a really good musician playing. Kept me in there for a while.

Amazing time in our line dance class great instructor, fun experience. High recommend

Our first bar/drink in Nashville. Warm inviting atmosphere, reminded me of a small Wisconsin tavern. The live music was great and the stories the band told were even better.

Decent bar. Not really my scene but I did appreciate that it was calmer than the other bars nearby.

My wife took line dancing lessons here and had a blast where I washed out and had a blast watching the class. 3 of 4 men in the class wound up on the sidelines - a dance background is helpful. The bar is fully stocked - the staff is OUTSTANDING - the beer is ice cold and the ambiance is 20th century Bootlegger!!! Loved it here.

We enjoyed something a little different than the rest on Broadway!

When you think of an original bar in Nashville this is it. The bar manager was amazing. Went in towards the end of the night. She had been in since before the Saints game hours before and was still smiling. Dont miss out.

It is an absolutely great place to enjoy a dance and a drink. Weve been here twice (from the UK), 2nd time being our honeymoon, and the wife got to dance with a cowboy! Brilliant time.

Key is an awesome bartender. Took care of us and quick service. Music on Monday nights was brilliant classic country. Well done Bootleggers!

All the different moonshines were cool and the atmosphere was nice. I felt like the bartenders gave off an annoyed or inconvenienced vibe when I asked questions. Overall it was fine and I would try it again.

Love this Place! Ms. Janet is the Best Bartender EVER!! Music was amazing! Will come back and party there Every Time!

Cool little bar. The one man band musician was Great!

Melissa is an awesome host and drink dispatcher. Good vibes and good service.

Loved the experience there with the love band playing, Mandy Lovett playing 🎵 I would definitely make a trip back here🍻

This place is a gem. If you’re looking to get away from the commercialization of Broadway, but still hang out on Broadway, this is the spot. Day 1, we were greeted by Summer and Yaya. Day 2, Kayti took great care of us. Amazing music and great service! We pick one place each trip to get a souvenir and we just had to walk away with a shirt to remember this great time. Thank you, ladies, for making our time so much fun!

We had no problem getting a beer when there were only a few people in the bar. There were two bartenders and one guy that was behind the bar but not serving. The male bartender was making drinks for a large party, and the female bartender was busy with a conversation with the guy behind the bar not serving, and her back was to the bar. I held my beer can up to get his attention. He saw me but continued the conversation. We left after that. Worst service on Broadway.

Awesome. Thats all I have to say.J Edwards is amazing! I am not typically into that style of music, but man, he definitely had me with goosebumps and I know there were tears shed with some of the softer style songs. Thank you for letting me listen. Never will forget

Great spot at the end of the stripGood music and a lengthy list of moonshine options

Love this place. One of the smaller venues on Broadway, but its always fun because you dont have to fight for drinks and can get your requests in easily.

Hands down the best bar in downtown Nashville. We stopped in while bar hopping but had such a good time that we ended up staying there for the night and had a blast. Mike the bartender was awesome and kept the drinks flowing! A damn good time

Recently visited Nashville for a good friends bachelor party. I was recommended this place from a mutual friend. We were blown away by the service and the live music! Carolyn took care of us and had great recommendations for our entire party, very conversational & friendly! When i am back in nashville i will definitely be back and to ask for her. keep up the great work bootleggers!

Great Atmosphere! Bartenders could be a bit more friendly, however it didnt take away from the experience

This was our favorite bar the whole time we were in Nashville! The very cute door guy, Key, and the young man playing both nights were there MADE IT LIKE A HOME BAR! Every time I go to Nashville, I will end my night there ALWAYS!Key definitely made mine and my bestie’s night each night. The joking around, sharing music, and chatting away! Also, thank you for helping me pick on him. It’s my favorite past time.If you want to feel like your hanging out at your home bar wherever your from, Bootleggers Inn is the place! I just wished they had a pool table. Then I’d be there alllllll night!

Feels like one of the few originals left on the strip. Great musicians, classic covers or originals - not the ra ra of many other places.

Interesting bar that’s been here since 1919 and the only bar that sells moonshine.

Real good time! Great bands! Staff was excellent! We didnt eat any food🤷 Drank moonshine and jammed with Easton Hamlin!!!

Street vendors ripping people off and these businesses that host them do not care one bit.

This place is awesome! Great atmosphere

First time in this bar and it was amazing the drinks were great the service attendees were great and the band playing for New Years was off the chain

The best place for a quick / cheaper drink before raging on Broadway. Go in, grab a few shots, and then tear up Broadway!

Drinks were priced less than some of the other surrounding bars. I think by $3. The music was great. I def had a great time in Nashville.

Great band! However, the bartender (Yaya), seemed to think she was the main attraction. She was rude, poured very short drinks, and ruined the entire experience. The band was enough to stay for two drinks, but her attitude couldnt sustain any more. Sadly. Do not recommend.

YaYa and Key (and the door man) were the nicest people in the WORLD! I was traveling from South Bend IN to Tampa FL. My bus was delayed and I tried to get a plane, rent a car but nothing was available. So I thought to try to at least enjoy a beer in this new state I’ve never been. No one on Broadway would let me in with my luggage. But this nice bar did. They actually had a heart. If I ever return to TN again- I would make sure to see the nice people at Bootleggers. You two are invited to my lake house whenever you want!

Good prices on beer. Moonshine cocktails were decent. Music was good. Nice change of pace

Me, my wife and two cousins from Oregon where in there I didnt tip the bartender because I had to wait while she was on her phone texting. She told me not to come back to her and I could leave. The music is good. Just the bartender is rude.

First time we visited. We were on vacation, and the music was great, not crazy loud. The bouncer in front said the upstairs was more mellow compare to downstairs, and it was. The staff was polite and did a great job handling the crowd without ignoring anyone and service all with equally well. For me the best part was I dont drink alcohol and they didnt scoff at me getting soda like many other bars have. They made the time there pleasant. We will return when I return to Nashville.

For me, this place is the epitome of the Broadway legacy...a modest bar, with friendly staff, comfy atmosphere, not over the top, with great music. Its a place you want to stay and soak it in for a while listening to the music and having a few cold ones. Its not overrun with the younger crowd and bachelor parties - we used to be into that thing, but honestly that scene gets old after a couple hours, especially for us veteran day drinkers. Not against the younger crowd having their fun, but we prefer a more laid back location away from that hustle and bustle.

Stop in still local still legit love this bar!

One of my favorite places on Broadway.Worth checking out, the music that flows through there is incredibleThe moonshine menu is also amazing

Great vibe one of my favorite bars

Great bar - a hidden gem in downtown Nashville! Tons of delicious moonshine available. Awesome bartenders. Great live music. Highly recommend the upstairs - most people don’t venture that far so it’s less crowded and super fun! I will definitely be back!

Took a line dancing class.We had a lot of fun. 🤗

Visited while in town for a Titans game. They were pretty busy just like all places on Broadway during a Saturday night. Went to the second floor where the liquor selection is a little smaller but its not as crowded. Tried a few drinks and enjoyed them. The band didnt always accept the requests from the crowd but Im sure they change regularly.

Had an amazing time 2 nights in a row hanging out. Key was fantastic as ourBartender, and Patches provided amazing music both nights! Highly recommend!

Great little spot with darn good music and good service! Cool shirts for sale and cool decor. Took a group in on Monday night and they loved it here. Cheers to still having live Country in a real honky tonk !

Our bartender was so friendly and made us great drinks. Also had great suggestions when we couldnt decide what we wanted. We were there on a Sunday afternoon so the crowd came and went but was always fun and friendly. We also saw Adam sing and hes honestly incredible....one of the best we saw on our whole weekend in Nashville. We had such a great time there today!

Had the best time. Went informed one drink about 6pm and ended up staying till close. Not impressed with first duo who sang as they were rude to my daughter but loved solo singer who came on late and was great. Girl behind bar was brilliant. We would definitely go there again if we ever fly across the pond to Nashville

If you spend cash, this is NOT your place. Bartender refused two different 100 dollar bills, concerned I had counterfeit money I cashed them in at a bank the following day, in fact not counterfeit. Millennial card only spenders, definitely your place.

Great music and a great variety of moonshine drinks or shots. Nice bar servers. Ours even got on stage to sing. Bar is on the small side and the seating area is not very plentiful but there was plenty of room for us. We had a great time!

Nice alternative to the huge and noisy bars. Its a great dive bar with a friendly atmosphere.

Cool hole in the wall style its got going.The bar was unique and had a wide arrangement of moonshine and liquor.The beer selection was horrible, nNothing of interest for those that like beer.Miller lite and Busch are.ok, but a better selection of IPAs or ales or e en stouts would be ideal..even a local beer would suffice. Also putting the bottles on the very top shelf was poor marketing. I couldnt see the beer selection because there was zero lighting on that part of the shelf.The rest of the set up for the liquor and moonshine was the main focus and would draw anyone looking for liquor. However beer and small craft breweries have become just as popular and the style bar would do better with being able to see that or choose that.The live music was amazing though. The two people I was able to hear today were outstanding and very good at keeping a crowds attention as well.Overall, Id come back and recommend this over kid rocks bar. Any day

Came here for sure line dancing & it was great!

So far the cheapest place to drink. Great atmosphere

Great live music and fun atmosphere. Drink prices on average with the other bars in the area

Jason and Josh were awesome!

Very friendly service. Bartender offered us their specialty, moonshine. She was nice, pleasant, and helpful when I asked about them. Some bartenders get very annoyed when you ask what their most popular cocktail is. With so many specialty moonshines it was nice that we actually were able to get some feedback on them before ordering.They had a great musician when we were in there. The acoustics were great. We heard the same musician later in the day and it was such a bummer to hear him in a venue that made him sound to loud.

Great place. Great music. The atmosphere was very nice. Only negative thing was the waiter telling us that we didnt need to worry about using the mask. We are in a pandemic, please encourage people to use it, not the other way around.

Loved stopping by this classic bar for a moonshine spicy margarita and to listen to some legit country music (not the crazy top 40s bands playing down the street). When I think of going to a country bar in Nashville, this is it, pool table at the back, more hole in the wall type of bar with descent priced drinks and awesome bar tenders. Definitely stop in to get away from the crazy.

Cold drinks and decently priced shots (for Broadway)

I spent a few hours in Nashville...this place was fantastic

Went here on a Tuesdsy night, and it was fantastic. Rocky Bottom, the one man band, was playing. Awesome vibe. Excellent musician and great relaxed. Could have stayed there all night if not for a 5am flight out of Nashville!

Stevie hornbeck was our bartender, and she was absolutely fantastic!! She went above and beyond to serve us. She made us feel very comfortable! Just all around great service/experience. Highly recommended!ASK FOR STEVIE!!

Love this place! Great food and service! Taco Tuesday was very filling!

This is my favorite bar on the Nash-vegas strip. Its small, the bartenders are great and the drinks are mixed strong. Not to mention we never heard bad music in here. Every singer/band they had was great.

I come to Broadway a few times a year and always have to stop on at Bootleggers. The main level is fun, but do visit the upstairs for more fun.

We stopped in here on first night in Nashville.One of our favorite spots.Great band friendly staff.

The atmosphere is wonderful and they always have amazingly talented musicians on the stage. The wide array of moonshine is amazing and I have yet to try one that I didnt like. Bar tenders are friendly and helpful with drink selections.

Small but we really enjoyed it. A little down the strip and not as popular as the big name bars but the music was good, the drinks were reasonable (unlike the popular bars) and we had an opportunity to talk with the bartender. All wins in my book.

We had a great time! On a Thursday night even 🤪 The band was good. The staff was attentive. My only downside was that they only had Guinness for dark beer and I only drink dark beer

This place was fabulous. Very nice host and servers. Oatmeal Cookie Moonshine is delicious (as is the blackberry), and the 2-person band (Katie Origer on fiddle and Joshua? On guitar) was phenomenal. A must stop when you visit Nashville.

Had an unexpected day off of work, so I decided to walk around Broadway. Stopped at Bootleggers Inn for a drink (its 5 oclock somewhere) and was served by a lovely young lady, and got to listen to some pretty cool live music. There are a lot of honkey tonks on Broadway in Nashville, hit them all up, have a drink at each one, but make sure one of them spots is Bootleggers Inn. This place was worth the whiskey 🥃

Had a great time in this bar.The music was amazing, the atmosphere just right and the prices...they were some of the least expensive on the strip.

Me and my friends stumbled here twice in one weekend. The drinks were a bit pricey but we managed to grab seats even on St. Patricks day and the bands were great! Definitely a nice hole in the wall feel to it.

Another bar on nashville Broadway to get a cold drink, and some hot food

Exceptional bartender who seems to love her job. Brit Stokes is a superb artist, whos original music is sure to top the charts. If you get a chance to catch him, take it. Enjoy a flavored moonshine and a great song.

This is one of my favorite places on Broadway. The crowd is typically a bit older (as am I) and less rowdy than some of the larger venues. Amazing selection of moonshine. Try the oatmeal cookie flavor!

Great bar ..Great music

First time in Nashville (CMA Fest) and we found this little “gem” of a place. Highly recommend it!! Kayti is amazing ! Rocky Bottom (the singer) is high energy and keeps the crowd engaged…. Love the place! Great pre-concert start!! Highly recommended!

Bought a T-shirt and by the time I got back to hotel the lettering was falling off. I have attempted to contact owners several different ways to send shirt back for refund but no one replys.

Im from Miami Fla. I heard J. Edwards was performing there on Sunday. Was not disappointed! Great little spot that was a refreshing change from the rest of Broadway. Was also refreshing to hear REAL music and storytelling! What Nashville used to be and hopefully will be again. Keep having J. And well continue to come. Bar staff were fun, welcoming and accommodating! Eric.

They had a nice crowd and a live band, with no cover charge, but they do i.d at the door, not as big as alot of the other bars around there. More lay back and chill spot. I hope this helps you out and have a great day

Male bartender rude and lazy. Only ordered one initial drink and completely quiet and talking to my friend only and requested a rare flavored liquor when he said I was done for the night. Upon consulting with female bartender they were out of the specific product so why the lying and prissy attitude from the male! This was after Charli XCX concert, lost a customer from a bartender in Nashvilles daughter

Stopped by on a Saturday night and enjoyed the upstairs bar and band. Great bartenders recommended moonshine so when in rome....enjoyed cookie dough and apple pie moonshine...not together.

Absolutely had a blast with key behind the bar and patches on the stage. Best spot in Nashville for good vibes and good music!!!

I love this place. Small, great bar tenders, good music Its the last of the hole in the wall bars on Broadway and has an unmatched moonshine menu. My favorite is mixing the chocolate and bannana moon pie moon shine. Shaken with ice and strained. So good its crazy.

Quiet place on a Tuesday. They had a very nice Duet performing.

What a great place to hang out! Wonderful staff and the best music we heard all day! Wish I knew the mans name that was playing. He had a cast on his ankle and was singing his heart out 💝

Comfortable place with great music

Clean and well kept. Super friendly bartender. The guy singing was phenomenal. I tipped him well and we had our own private jukebox. Lol.Much better than the big name places down the street!

Im inspired to look up the history of the building, the floors spoke of the tales. The lady bartender was very helpful and courtesy. AmyJane performed, she was amazing!!!

Took line dancing lessons upstrs! Great time

I loved the music and atmosphere. Check out the second floor for more space and a second, equally customizable experience with talented acts. Drinks were priced fairly and the staff were attentive and kind. Would definitely recommend.

100% stayed for the bathroom service!!!! She is AMAIZING!

Worst service we had on our trip.. Early afternoon visit... There was about 1/4 of the bar stools open, 2 bartenders and all they did was chat to wach other. We left and so did the people sitting next to us... I did like the atmosphere. The t-shirts were cool but we could not even get a price for them!

Nice place to have a few drinks and listen to live music!

What a great bar! We started our Nashville experience at this bar and ended it at this bar! Try as many of the Moonshines as you can. They are all so good! Service was awesome and friendly as well!

Great drinks made strong. House band was awesome. Bar tenders were cool and on top of it. Drinks were made fast and staff was friendly.

Our favorite stop on this busy stretch, the bar is quaint and the music never disappointed. They have all kinds of drinks, but our favorite was the assortment of moonshine, just about every flavor you could imagine.

Loved the music and vibe of the place. Is definitely a must see if you go to Nashville and enjoy great music and drinks

Decent dive bar with an amazingly good singer. Good place for a pit stop.

Our bartender was so sweet! The Oatmeal Cookie is absolutely amazing, and the beers are ice cold! Got some swag too, a t shirt and a coozie 😊 We will be back for sure!!

Nice hole in the wall bar friendly bar tenders and security staff. The music is awesome be sure to check out upstairs which opens Thursday through Saturday.

For some of the best moonshine this is the place to go. When you do head to the top floor if you want a more relax experience with great live music.

This is a great dive bar in the best sense of the term! Great staff and great music!

The bartender was not very friendly and her service was slow. Also, for the price of the drinks a little alcohol wouldve been nice. I dont think there was any in our 2nd drink. Great music however.

Nice little venue on an insane strip of crazy. They were down towards the end and were not quite as packed, especially in the upstairs bar. It was nice after all the shoulder rubbing. Plus they had two different bands to choose from.

I was trying to visit this establishment, but the bartender said my kind wasnt welcome there. This was a few years ago in 2013. I think he didnt like the fact that we were 10 men of Mexican descent. Some of us proud serving military servicemen, some retired from the military. I cant remember the name of the place, but we licked our wounds and walked a block or so, and found a nice place that was accepting of everyone. ... if your skin is on the darker side, stay away from this place.

Probably my favorite bar in all of Nashville. The flights of moonshine were awesome

Had so much fun here!! This past weekend was our first trip to Nashville. We liked all the big places but Bootleggers definitely gave us the Nashville feel! We stumbled upon this hidden gem after the Super Motorcross and ended up staying until close! Band was very interactive and AMAZING!

Good local feeling place. The band was good. Go early, if you dont want to sit at the bar, theres only 7 or 8 tables.

Fun little local spit. Closer to your local bar than a typical Broadway bar but thats what we were looking for. Use this place as a quiet place to get a drink or for a reprieve from the loud, fast paced bars around it.

This is a smaller more subtle bar on Broadway. It definitely had a nice feel. You can typically get in and get a place to sit. They have the love music as well.

Small, cozy, friendly staff and talented live entertainment.

Friendly service and as good of prices as you are going to get in downtown Nashville. A much better music selection than most of the other bars we visited in this area.

We had a blast. The live music was incredible. The moonshine drinks are delicious but expensive -- $9.50 for a small plastic cup.

This small bar looks unassuming, but a few steps in reveals the best part of this place and thats the moonshine menu! Definitely a great spot to relax and enjoy Nashville.

The bar was really cool, had great music playing. Only problem is Micheal C started a fake tab for me and my cousin when we where paying cash all night. Practically stole $98.

Drinks were reasonably priced, bartender was so lovely and friendly, live music was great and atmosphere was perfect. Absolutely loved my visit, small bar but definitely worth a visit, you wont regret it!!!

Great bands, little unassuming from the outside but big vibes inside. One of the best places on Broadway to sit down, grab a beer and lose yourself

Our favorite on Broadway. Friendly service, good music, good drinks. Not overrun like other places on Broadway. The way you think about Nashville. I look forward to next time.

Nice music, entertainers were wonderful and had the audience involved. Drinks good, beer cold, great place to go and have a good times with friends and meeting new friends...a must to go and experience in nashville

Great vibe. Nothing flashy, just great drinks and bands. Good selection of whiskey and moonshine. Id recommend it for sure.

One of my personal favorite little gems on Broadway. I came in here twice and both times I was greeted by friendly service, and great live music. The old time creaky wood floors, stool lined bar top, and dimly lit atmosphere is exactly what we were looking for on Broadway. Live music (while we were there) was mostly singer/songwriter soul country, mixed with some outlaw southern rock. A nice change of pace from the generic, cookie cutter, cover bands that are available any time of day up and down Broadway. Bootleggers is apparently known for terrific moonshine. We heard excellent things, however i do not drink liquor so i can not personally vouch for it. I will say that the beer selection was excellent and as I recall, the beer prices were towards the lower end of what you have to pay on Broadway. I believe domestic beers on a Saturday night were $4.00 which you will quickly find out, is quite a Broadway bargain lol. Bootleggers is the ideal example of what I was hoping to find in a live music honky tonk bar while visiting Nashville.

Have the jalapeno Shine its expensive but tasty and Im homegrown WV

Very nice atmosphere. Great service and comfortable environment.

I go to this bar every time I go to Nashville. If you are looking for a lower key place with amazing music, this is your place.

Great place to see a band and hear live music. This is a smaller bar on the strip but had a great atmosphere. Drinks are not overpriced which is a plus. Bartenders were great.

This place is awesome! Good prices, awesome live acoustic music and a friendly down home feel.... Oh... And 25 or more flavors of good moonshine. Found it on accident, going back on purpose.

Always a great time. My favorite bar in Nashville. A little lower key with a great staff. Cant wait to see you guys again.

Cool laid back place on the strip of craziness that is Broadway. An oasis from the Kid Rock/Jason Aldean/Jimmy Buffet circus. Real good singer-songwriter playing the night I was there, and a decent beer and liquor rack.

Loved this bar - we had a quick in and out of town one night stay in Nashville and wanted somewhere where we could all have a seat at and listen to good music. This was the spot.

Absolutely loved the vibe & I was visiting from Alabama. Perfect atmosphere!!! The live music was great as well.

Great music. Great moonshine. Great conversation. The extra bonus is that since its towards the end of Broadway it was less crowded.

This bar is great b/c it isn’t one of the main attractions do you aren’t packed in like sardines! However because it isn’t a main bar, the music may not always be top notch. The last band I saw in there played Pearl Jam so they were a winner in my book!We discovered this bar several years ago during a girls’ trip and have gone back during each subsequent trip. In fact in this last trip, we went back both nights we were in town!This is where I was introduced to Oatmeal Cookie Moonshine and my life will never be the same! It is delicious over ice and goes down way too easy. My friend loves the Bloody Mary with Jalapeño Moonshine!

Had a great time. The band was engaged with the crowd and a lot of fun. They take all requests. Daniel, Steve and the gang its Bob from Chicago. Keep rocking !!!!!!

Moonshine flights are amazing!

Good music, good drinks, good location. Plenty of seating, a fun crowd and attentive bartenders. Specialty cocktails were good.

Stopped in New Years Eve. Got sent upstairs. Room wasnt that full, but even after tipping decently, service was slow. We left at 1130 to go elsewhere. Good choice.

Great live music n dancing Reasonably priced drinks..

Absolutely amazing! Brit Stokes put on a great show. He was the best act we heard from all the places on Broadway.

First place we stopped at on Broadway. It was not that friendly and never felt welcome. Way better service from all other places on Broadway.

We were down on Broadway for a few days and we always seemed to end up at bootleggers. Staff was super friendly and the music was great every time we went in. When we come back to Nashville we will definitely go back.

The only bar on Broadway that wasnt playing country music! They had a fun rock cover band the night I was there. The vanilla moonshine was delicious!

Fun place! Music was awesome! Some great musicians there on Feb 15, 2018. Thanks for sharing your talents gentlemen.

We loved how small and intimate this place was. The music was amazing and sounded so good. We also enjoyed the flavored whisky and moonshine! We will be back.

This is our absolute favorite place in Nashville. The music was amazing and we loved the Moonshine!! Justine Blazer and band rocked the house. An absolute must stop

Great little hole on the wall (lovingly said) that has cool local live acts. The drinks were wet, service want the worst ever, and that is on July 4th when every place downtown was absolutely packed
