If you like to watch the tourist find a table near the bar on the street. Or when there is live music you can "HOLLAR & SWALLAR"!!! I have been here at all hours and the bartenders are great and atmosphere is jumpin'. I have even met and seen the owners there on many occasions, they blend in with the crowd. I was sitting at the table and struck up a conversation and did not even know it was one of the owners. I recommend this bar/restaurant to any of my friend visiting Nashville. (You can even watch that crazy Tootsies crowd without being involved!)
Pros: You can sit inside or semi-outside
Cons: Parking...as with any downtown club
