Bootleggers Inn

Found Bootleggers In on Groupon because they offer line dancing classes in their upstairs portion. I mean when on Broadway in Nashville country line dancing is a must right? It was easy to find and upon entering it's a nice small space with a small stage upfront and then a long bar. This bar specializes in moonshine and they have quite a number of specialty flavors. It's a full service so if moonshine isn't your thing you can choose something else. The day I went it was during the day so it was on the slower side but the bartender was very friendly while I waited for the instructor to show up. The upstairs is spacious and they have a stage and bar up there but the upstairs bar only opens when busy or an event is going on. Cute little place in Nashville.

The trolley booth next door gave us discount stickers and recommended we pop in for a drink. We got discounted moonshine for $7. I got an Arnold Palmer sweet tea and it was so good. Couldn't even taste the moonshine. Fun spot if you're looking for moonshine.

This is one of the places we always stop at. Smaller and cozy, good entertainment and friendly staff. It's becoming a tradition to start and end here with jalapeño moonshine and a Bloody Mary chaser here.

Best variety of moonshine in Nashville under one roof. They do not sell food here. They carry Forge and Old Smokey Mountain here and have an array of ones to try. My favorite was the oatmeal cookie and strawberry creamsicle. They were yummy like a dessert.

Bootleggers was a cozy little honkytonk that specializes in moonshine cocktails. It sounds weird but you have to try the dill pickle margarita! Across the street from Chief's it was a bit quieter than the celebrity bars. Definitely worth a visit

Rating this a five for just what it is. You don't go into Bootleggers with a bachelorette party of glittery pink youngsters. You go there for a mellow solo musician playing music to a bunch of people that just want to have a drink and listen to music.This is not the party place. This is the country music soloist, dark, semi-clean, moody, bar that you need sometimes. Take it for what it is. I am not comparing it to other places on Broadway. It is a place of its own and should be judged that way. I especially like their cowboy hatted bouncer guy.

I put Bootlegger's Inn on the list after someone told me I must try the moonshine shots.BI is basically like any ol' honky tonk on Broadway. Kinda seedy, kinda sticky, kinda stinky. It wasn't crowded on a Thursday evening comparedto some of the other bars in the neighboring area. Maybe that was an indication of how good (or not good?) it was.Anyhoo, they have quite the collection of flavored moonshine. I was surprised when they toldme two shots were $19! Pricy! We got an Oatmeal cookie (good) and Salted Caramel (sickeningly sweet). Glad we got to try it, but don't need to repeat.

After a few days in the "rest of Broadway," I was looking for a quieter place with good music and drinks. A quick peek inside, and Bootleggers looked like that place. Walked in at the beginning of a set of an artist who was a last-minute sub to another artist. Her music was all original and it fit the place and the vibe it gives with the lighting.

Super rude bartender. Tall, thin older dude who thought his stuff did not stink. So arrogant and dismissive. Would not recommend to tourists.

Loved this bar in Nashville! Great music, amazing atmosphere - and the shots weren't too bad either
