Most Missed in Nashville

You: red cowboy boots. Me: ten-gallon hat. Go boot scootin' with me or you'll end up in one of my songs. Judging by its Craigslist page, most people in Nashville meet (or almost meet) in supermarkets -- but dust off those bolo ties anyway and hit these nightlife spots:

Tribe -- "Straight or gay, it doesn't matter -- as long as you're confidently hip and ready for a good time," wrote the New York Times about this music video bar and club. 1517A Church St.

The Stage -- Maybe the Oxford English Dictionary is out to see on where the word "honky-tonk" comes from, but that's exactly what you can enjoy here underneath a painting once owned by Waylon Jennings. 412 Broadway

Layla's Bluegrass Inn -- This "hillbilly and country music" bar is not an actual hotel -- but you wouldn't be able to sleep with the sound of boots on the wood dance floor, anyway. 418 Broadway
