The 14 Best Restaurants In Downtown Nashville 2024
"Skull’s is a Nashville institution that’s located on Printer’s Alley, one of the city’s most iconic strips. It’s changed ownership a few times since opening in 1948, but the spirit remains the same: a classed-up dive with good booze, good music, and an even better lobster bisque. The place sees its fair share of tourists, but don’t let that deter you—the live jazz and weekly burlesque shows draw a local crowd, too (fact: everyone loves a good whirling tassel). The room is usually packed, so whether you’re on a date or flying solo, you’ll feel comfortable here, especially when a single-barrel cocktail, perfectly seasoned rack of lamb or prime rib, and the aforementioned lobster bisque hit the table." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
