honky-tonksville - View this location on map  if you're ready for a cold one, you're in luck. ''lower broad's'' stretch of authentic honky-tonks offers free live music night and day. do not leave nashville without visiting robert's western world (615-244-9552) and tootsie's orchid lounge (422 broadway, 615-726-0463). robert's does indeed have some choice boots for sale, but the priority is boot scootin' across the small dance floor to tunes by the likes of bob wills and johnny cash. at tootsie's, every square inch of wall is covered with autographed photographs of country stars. this once was the honky-tonk of choice for willie nelson, roger miller and pals -- it's just across an alley from the ryman auditorium, onetime home of the grand ole opry.
