    Small chill bar. Live music and TVs around. Not much to it but sweet girl bartenders. Close to category bar.

    Live music

    Had a rough week and am thankful for the quick and friendly service at quick shots. While not always the deepest selection with liquor they make sure you feel welcomed. Have plenty of Jell-O shots, live music, and feel more than comfortable being there. From the bartender lending her amazing voice to the friendly service, you honestly couldn't find a better place to escape the craziness of Broadway but have all the experience. I am so happy to have stopped in and will continue to come here. From the staff, music and drinks, it's a wonderful Nashville experience!

    I've been to big shotz twice. It was just as fun this time as it was when I first went with my sister. My dad enjoyed his mango habanero whisky and I enjoyed my rubber ducky. Bad decisions were made and they were delicious. The service was good and the bar itself is always fun.

    Dropped by on a Friday afternoon with a girl group while we were exploring Nashville. We stopped primarily because they had a woman playing music, which is actually harder to find than you think. Neve Cunnan, she was great. She played female artist lineup and it was awesome, Alannis, Janis,Joanie, 4nonBlonds etc. Good sound, we could still talk. Excellent Nashville music experience. Bartenders were super chatty and nice, also all female. They talk to us about where we are from, what we're up to this weekend, really nice. We said we would and did go back later in the evening. Different vibe, larger Rick heavy band, but good. They learned and played an Indigo Girls Typical Nashville bar fair, specialty shots, hello shots in servings, etc.

    So much fun!!! Come with good vibes. We're attracted by the live music, stayed for the INCREDIBLE double shots (big shotz is a very fitting name). The names are hilarious and the drinks are tasty as can be. Tried a few double shots and the dirty pirate hooker shot was insanely good. We also tried the southern Barbie and it was nice and sweet. If you enjoy good music, friendly service, and tasty drinks, Big Shotz is a must.

    Good drinks, good music. Double Shotz are $5. I was hoping for munchies to snack on, but the only food is Jello Shotz. Smoking is allowed, but it didn't get too smokey. Overall, not bad.

    No thanks

    Like everyone else, was overcharged. Server lady had bad attitude even though I was all smiles. 1 star for the attitude, nothing but remorse for overpaying.

    the bands are always awesome here

    Never had a bad time at BIG SHOTZ----love the classic rock music that they are typically playing----you can get pretty hammered here if you don't watch because they always have drink specials and they are really good...the food specials are good too...the little cheese stuffed pretzel bites are freakin' awesome......they take request for songs like ac/dc and stones all the things you want to hear and sing along to.....if your looking for a good time but not the meat market scene go here---it is just old hippes and drinkers that love music hanging out and enjoying life....

The 4 of us hung out here…read morefor a couple hours one morning to hear Joshua Hedley and the Hedliners, twang their way into old time honky-tonk souls. There's a row of boots on the wall, which I think is for display only and a call out to the time when they actually sold boots here. This historic building itself feels like a shotgun (long and narrow) and apparently once served as a Civil War warehouse and later the Sho-Bud Steel Guitar Company. To prolong our stay, we ordered cheeseburgers and beer (fries and onion rings were extra) for brunch. I tried to interest folks in their $6 "Recession Special" - A grilled or fried bologna sandwich piled high, with a bag of potato chips, a Moon Pie, and a cold Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) beer, but got no takers. We sat up on the balcony, which we had all to ourselves and with a nice view to the main floor below. Our waitresses were down home friendly, hard working, and good at what they were doing. We felt right at home and this was perhaps the most classic and authentic Nashville experience we had here. The band even wished my Happy Birthday. :)

The live music is always top-notch, and the vibe is exactly what you want in a classic Nashville spot. And don't sleep on the food--the grilled cheese is a must. Simple, perfect, and hits the spot every time. Pair it with a whiskey and a pickleback, and you've got the full experience. If you want true country, great energy, and a place that keeps it real, Robert's is it.

We grabbed a two top by the stage and across from the bar and ordered up a couple of cold snacks. The snacks were cold and the music was great. Bootleggers inn is a shotgun type bar, skinny and deep like a New Orleans house. The bar area is packed and they sell some neat T Shirts as well. The bartenders were attentive and quick with service and the music was excellent. Bootleggers Inn has clean bathrooms, and is a very lovely spot that was full of people for early afternoon on a Saturday. The drinks were very reasonable price wise and the overall ambience was great. This is a good spot to just chill with a beer and listen to good Music. It wasn't rowdy, it wasn't overly loud and it wasn't over run with woo hoo girls. Give Bootleggers inn a try when you're in Nashville, it's a good little bar with great music.
