"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
"There’s no missing this festive holiday pop-up at Schulman’s, which has been covered with enough lights to make Clark Griswold proud. Once your retinas have recovered, head inside the retro kitsch interior for boozy cider or spiked eggnog. Stick around for darts and a rich prime rib sandwich served with zingy horseradish aioli." - Ellen Fort
"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
"Named in honor of David “Skull” Schulman, the local behind Skull’s Rainbow Room and the pioneer of Nashville’s authentic dive bar scene, Schlman’s is a tried-and-true dive bar with dart boards, a jukebox, and an old-school cigarette machine that dispenses cartons. The drink menu is tightly curated and includes a martini, a negroni, a bushwhacker, and a seasonal margarita. The bar — which also offers fried bologna sandwiches and fried pickles for munching on — is open seven days a week until 2 a.m." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
