Schulman's

Schulman's officially has my heart. This vintage-inspired dive on the East side has everything you need for a memorable night. My husband and I stopped in for a quick drink on a summer Friday and ended up chowing down on some of their delicious burgers and smothered fries. We found some street parking a ways down the road, and were not surprised to find this place packed! Even still, we managed to snag a small diner-style booth. They do have patio seating as well - but it's a bit warm for that these days. You order food and drinks at the bar, and then they'll bring your food directly to your table. The bartender was incredibly friendly, the prices are spot on, and our food came out hot and fresh in less than 10 minutes!We each ordered one of their cheeseburgers, which are pretty sizeable and definitely shareable if you're not super hungry. If you like pickles with your burger, I suggest sipping on their pickle beer! This was such a fun addition to a delicious burger. We also ordered two sides of fries - one "Beast" style and one topped with chili and cheese. These comforting classics hit the spot, and I have no doubt we'll visit Schulman's again soon.

I had a late dinner here last week and I left impressed with the food, the bar and the service.The menu is very limited but a friend recommended trying the pastrami here so I made the trip to see for myself.It's a small parking lot, and would probably be easier to walk or take an Uber to get here.It's a bar, and it's definitely a good vibe. It's casual and classic. I would definitely return for the sandwich and this would be a great place to hang and have some drinks.

Best burger in Nashville. You can fight me. This is such a cool "dive" bar that has awesome service, such a great vibe and I swear the fries animal style and the burgers are better than In N Out.

Great neighborhood bar! My favorite thing about it, and the reason I return every week, is the fabulous music the DJ plays on vinyl. someone mentioned the vibe is like a 70's bar in the Midwest, and this makes for a fun atmosphere with the dozens of old beer signs and fun floor tiles. A lot of thought went into designing this bar, and the live DJ is the frosting on the cake! Their hamburgers are great, and the vegan chicken sandwich is delicious (I'm not a vegan). Most bartenders are 100% on their service game; others need a little polish. PS - Love the comfy bar chairs.

We brought the folks to this spot and it was very cool experience. We sat ourselves in a booth and checked out the menu. A sign at the table advised to order at the bar. We ordered 2 pastrami sandwiches (awesome btw) for the group and I had the burger which was great. My wife ordered the vegan chicken sandwich (fantastic)with an order of fries (hot/tasty) for the table. The food was amazing and cooked to perfection and everything was extremely tasty. The bartender came by and checked on us a couple times to make sure we were good. Had a couple of Budweisers and enjoyed the retro space. The jute box is cool and OG as well as the TV with its tube screen. My 80 year old dad loved everything about this spot and we will be back soon!

If you think there's a better bar in Nashville than Schulman's I'm here to tell you you're wrong. Darts? Check.Patio? Check. Beer? Check check.Vintage signage that you couldn't find on the deepest searches of eBay? Check.The best and nicest bartenders in the city? CHECK!Fried pickles, burgers, and pies? Check.A killer espresso martini? You guessed it, check!Must I go on? If you haven't been yet, go. Immediately. Schulman's is the best. Argue with your momma, not me.

I hope there is eventually a solution for parking for this area but I doubt that will happen as you usually have to find street parking in the neighborhood to get in. Aside from that, the ambiance has a great traditional dive/neighborhood feel to is where it almost feels as if it's always been there. These crowds can definitely vary on what night you go and what time you show up so don't be surprised if you go and it's completely sparse or others, there is not a seat anywhere in the house. Been a couple of times where it definitely was standing room only. Other times, you can pick your seating. What makes this place stand out is the fun area in the breezeway that they created to be another alley bar feel. For a confined spot, they designed plenty of different feels for where you want to enjoy some drinks and even some bar food snacks. They have a 40oz happy hour special on Friday's which I think is clever and they've been experimenting with menu items so everything is worth trying. Since it's nearby, it's easy to stop in when I see it's not crowded with peeps.

First time here tonight and it won't be out last! Loved the ambiance of a 70s Midwest bar right in East! The staff were very friendly and attentive. The beers are reasonably priced, and the fried pickles were delicious! Great place to just hang out, and we can't wait to play darts next time.

Great interiors and fantastic feel especially with the vinyl DJ. Really great vegan chicken sandwich and fried pickles. Drinks are pretty good. It is regularly very crowded so it can be a while before you can find a table or get the bartender's attention to order

A great local watering hole with indoor and outdoor seating. My group snagged a spot on the patio and really enjoyed the vibe. A decent drinks selection and the fries beastie style were so good.
