Link: Tootsie's Live Cam
The bar was invariably packed with people and they often left the back door open just to try to help clear out the cigarette smoke. Reeves could sometimes be found there sharing a pitcher of beer with Patsy Cline (and others, like his young lady friend Gail Talley). But Reeves and guitarist Leo Jackson also would go to the Maxwell hotel to play pool, or to a place on Broadway called Linebaugh's.
Anyway, Tootsie's Orchid Lounge (yes, the outside is painted lavender), looks pretty much today like it did back when Jim was stopping by.
Depending on what time of the day or night you read this post, you can see a LIVE CAM from Tootsie's, showing you live performances as they happen. Usually the people who take the mic at the bar are aspiring artists who haven't quite made it in the music business as yet, though occasionally a big name star will also do an impromptu set.
