Bootleggers Inn

A narrow, two-story moonshine bar on the quieter end of Lower Broadway, Bootleggers Inn delivers an intimate, classic honky-tonk experience without the corporate celebrity gimmicks. Embracing a rugged Prohibition-era aesthetic complete with whiskey barrels and exposed brick, this localized staple focuses heavily on Tennessee's distilling heritage, serving creative moonshine cocktails, flights, and an impressive lineup of bourbons. Its tight 150-person layout fosters a highly energetic yet approachable vibe that stands out on the strip, consistently earning praise from regulars who favor strong drinks, conversational bartenders, and a welcome escape from the standard tourist circus.
