After the riverboat, I headed to an iconic Honky Tonk. As one does.
The place was jam-packed, standing room only, and barely enough room to stand.
After a while, manged to get a seat at the bar. The bar tenders never stopped working for an instant, but they were attentive and friendly the entire time which was cool.
Great music, a fun atmosphere, and it was time to order lunch.
Probably the cheapest lunch on Broadway:
Yep, I ordered the famous Recession Special.
It arrived reasonably quickly as the cook was also jammed up with people ordering the special, among other dishes.
It's the iconic order there.
But, the fried baloney served with lettuce and tomato was tasty, filling, and the included PBR worked with it, as did the chips and Moon Pie for dessert. It was the cheapest lunch I've had out just about anywhere.
Stayed for some tunes and then decided to do a bit of a bar crawl.
Next stop was Tootsies Orchid Lounge, back in the day, prior to 1979, the hang out for the Opry performers as the Ryman Auditorium where the Opry had been located, was next door.
A solid live band was performing:
Had a local brew, Hap and Harry's Lager, which was ok, and listened to some tunes.
Then headed off to do some more wandering around.
