"Schulman's is the type of neighborhood bar where you can pop in for a martini at 3pm or 1am. The East Nashville spot opened not that long ago, but the place looks straight out of the ‘70s with stained glass lamps, a wide lacquered bar, and overstuffed leather booths. The martini is pre-batched and kept in the freezer, so it can cool your bones on any scorching Nashville day, plus the green olives are massive and briny. The backyard is also a sprawling oasis riddled with ashtrays for those who prefer a cigarette in one hand, and a vesper in the other." - bryan kim, team 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
"A nod to Skull’s Rainbow Room’s proprietor, David “Skull” Schulman, this nostalgia-inducing dive bar in East Nashville comes adorned with worn beer signs, hanging stained glass lampshades, black and white checkered floors, and plush leather booths. The menu is as no-frills as the decor here, including classic cocktails done right, a selection of domestic and local beers, and bar bites like fried pickles, burgers, and chips and dip (bacon French onion, to be exact)." - Kellie Walton

"Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name. But sometimes you just wanna grab a Coors Banquet and fade into the background. Schulman’s is perfect for both. This neighborhood bar is peppered with vintage beer signs and tufted booths that are always full of people trying Fernet-Branca for the first time or wearing camouflage ironically. You can barely hear the music over the sounds of conversations and that’s the ideal backdrop for a low-key night of beers, patty melts, and darts with your buddies. And if you’re flying solo, just rip a shot (or two) with the bartenders and work the room. How else will you get everyone to know your name?" - adam sloan
