I have been there 4 or 5 times, and every time there has been a great 1950s/1960s sounding country or western swing-ish band playing in there. The rest of the neighborhood is revolting ultra-touristy (except for, perhaps the Ernest Tubb Record Store across the street from Roberts). But do hit Robert's. No cover, but if you like the bands you give them a tip in their jar. There's a grill in the back making cheap burgers, the beer is reasonable, and if you need a pair of boots... Also, after reading my first review of Omni Hut on the crusty old Tiki Bar Review pages, this guy DAC Crowell sent me a looong list of things to see in Nashville. It is still up on my old site: http://www.tikibars.net/tiki/OmniHut.html Scroll down towards the bottom of the page and check it all out. It is a pretty exhaustive list. Too bad you're not going through Memphis too - Graceland and, even better Graceleand Too. Graceland Too is my fave roadside stop EVER.
