Skull's Rainbow Room

Great atmosphere and music. I came on a Sunday evening with my boyfriend without a reservation. The tables were fill but there was room at the bar and this was the best choice anyway. The bartenders were helpful and friendly as were the other guests seated around us. To start, we shared the beef carpaccio. It was both of our first times having that so I have nothing to compare it to but it was good. For mains, I had the beef short rib which was good but nothing that blew me away. He had the prime rib, which again, was a very good piece of meat but just a typical prime rib. We shared the bacon Brussels sprouts on the side which were tasty and sweet but could have been crispier. I had a taste of the rack of lamb and it was a delicious main as well. We didn’t order any cocktails but I wish we had since they looked absolutely delicious. There was a 3-person jazz band playing throughout our time there and they were groovy but emotionless and lacking stage presence. Was more of a background vibe. They were very accommodating for gluten free, so if you are someone who doesn’t eat gluten then this is a great option. I felt very safe.

The food was delicious. The atmosphere is different than the rest of Nashville, being they played Jazz instead of country. We tried to stay for the cabaret, but didn’t want to wait an hour standing on the stairs. Prices are typically for a steakhouse of this quality. Good experience, but wish we could have stayed for the cabaret. The waitress knew what gluten free options they had available. It was much appreciated.
