When I worked in Nashville, it was my primary hang out. Couple of leather couches, big screen TV and the guy is real cool fella.

Sadly, I do believe that place is closed.

Mr. Hog,

was just in Nashville over Thanksgiving (that's where my 'people' are from)... While anti-smoking laws there aren't as tough as California, they are not as lax as South Carolina standards, either.

Some places that allow cigarette smoking don't allow cigars (not trying to start any flame war... just reporting the news like Connie Chung). So a few phone calls will go a long way (as mentioned above).

Uptown's is an excellent B&M if you need a few hours of down time, but it would be a pretty solid distance from the Arena.

[tour guide]

Bridgestone is a nice place to watch a game... Been there to see the Preds four or five times.

Must see in the area: Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, the bar made famous by Hank Williams Sr when he was with the Grand Ole Opry in the 40's and 50's. When they couldn't find Hank at showtime, someone had to go round him up from Tootsie's and prop him up on stage. Tootsie's is on the opposite corner from Bridgestone, and is the premier honky tonk bar.

[/tour guide]

Have fun, and tell Nashville I said hey.

Called the number on the website this morning... Out of service.

My brother lives LITERALLY 200 yards from there. Saw the empty store front last weekend, and was just hoping they had changed locations. I'm thinking that's not the case.

Was there last weekend. Still alive and well. Nice place, with a very deep beer selection and well stocked humidor.

They had no issue with me 'smoking what I brought', but I did pick up a cigar to help out with their bottom line.

Thanks Ted.....the B&M idea isn't an option as only a couple of the guys going are "cigar guys". Tootsie's sounds great though, is it cigar friendly?

I don't know if it is cigar friendly. It's a small place, so I'm guessing 'not'... prolly worth a phone call, though.

It's one of those 'bucket list' things, though... Buy a shot of well whiskey that burns a hole in your soul, feel a bit like vomiting into Broadway, and then hum your favorite Honky Tonk tune.

I'd pass on the whiskey, but always have a few Honky Tonk favorites close to my heart.
