Skull's Rainbow Room sits at 222 Printers Alley, in the heart of downtown Nashville's historic nightclub row. The name comes from David "Skull" Schulman, tied to the Alley's history — "The Alley will always be here, I expect," he's quoted as saying, "and I'll stay here with it."
The menu leans steakhouse-meets-Southern: prime rib, an NY strip, a pork chop, and catfish share the table with a rainbow roll, lobster bisque, mashed potatoes, and cheesecake for dessert. A full bar and cocktail list run alongside the food, and prime rib and the cocktails have built a following among regulars.
Live jazz plays nightly, with burlesque shows adding a dinner-and-a-show rhythm that fits the Alley's identity as a nightlife strip. Regulars point to the room's speakeasy feel and attentive service, and it's become a go-to for celebrations and special occasions.
