The 20 Best Bars In East Nashville - Nashville - The Infatuation

"Remember that parents’ basement you used to pilfer beers from? Maybe play a few records? Oh, uh … us neither. But if we did, we bet it’d look like Schulman’s, with its stained glass hanging lamp shades, wide lacquered bar, and overstuffed leather booths. They’ve got $12 ice-cold martinis complete with really good olives, a fruity and crisp IPA collab with Southern Grist, and a Happy Hour $4 forty special on Fridays. To fully experience Schulman’s simple-but-classic ethos, order their $9 double cheeseburger with special sauce and pair it with a Donna’s Pickle Beer. The backyard is also a sprawling oasis riddled with ashtrays for those who prefer a cigarette in one hand, and a frozen margarita in the other." - ann walczak, bailey freeman, adam sloan
