Inside the Bar
Tucked into Nashville's historic Printer's Alley, Skull's Rainbow Room is the city's most atmospheric jazz and burlesque supper club. Live music nightly, classic cocktails, supper-club service. Reservations essential.
Open since 1948 (with a 2015 restoration that preserved the original character), Skull's runs nightly live jazz and a weekend burlesque programme that traces back to the venue's founder, David 'Skull' Schulman.
Located in Printer's Alley — Nashville's historic entertainment district — Skull's Rainbow Room is one of the city's longest-running cabaret venues. The room runs jazz nightly with a rotating roster of Nashville musicians, and Friday-Saturday burlesque shows that channel the venue's mid-century heyday.
Cocktail program leans classical: properly-built martinis, manhattans, and old-fashioneds; a short list of seasonal house creations. Supper-club menu of steaks, oysters, and seafood sized for a post-show late dinner.
Reservations strongly recommended for Friday and Saturday. Dress code applied (no athletic wear). Cover charge for headlining shows; included with dinner reservation. Full bar service until 1am most nights, 2am Friday and Saturday.
