This…read moreis the quintessential neighborhood bar, conveniently located in Riverside Village, with plenty of free parking nearby and a few great walkable restaurants nearby as well. I consider myself lucky to live within walking distance of this awesome local establishment, and have been able to stop in a for a drink or two a handful of times over the last few months. The service is always great, there's plenty of seating inside and out, and the drinks are classic and tasty. I have yet to eat here, but my friends are all big fans of their tavern style food menu. Mule Mondays are one of the best deals in town ... all of their mule offerings are only $6 for the entire day. They also have Wine Wednesday and Mimosa Weekend specials.

We were told to seat ourselves so we sat out in the patio because the weather was nice. Took a bit to get noticed, & by the time our waitress came by, it was 10:33pm & we were told the kitchen closes at 10:30, but they were nice enough to go ahead & finish our order, but just a heads up. Food came out pretty quickly & the staff gave us a heads up that the only beer cheese they had left for the nachos was from the bottom of the pot, & to let us know if it tasted off & they'd remove it from the ticket which was nice, but I thought it was fine. We ordered the pub Reuben, bratwurst, & southwest pub nachos, & a Belgian blonde ale. Pretty solid for pub food! It's not going to win any awards but they had a good drink selection & the food hit the spot & is very reasonably priced for eating out nowadays. Would recommend for a chill hangout spot to grab a beer & share a bite, but it was crowded even at 10:30 at night!

It's cute and divey, with an expansive patio that is always packed on a beautiful day. My husband and I stopped in right after a rainstorm around 2 PM, which is probably why the bar wasn't too busy! We ordered some drinks and a late lunch as well. I went with the Steak Pita, which was massive and stuffed full of meat, cheese, greens, and two tasty sauces. Crispy sweet potatoes were served on the side. Honestly the pita and the sauces were my favorite part of this meal. The steak was flavorful but a bit chewy. However, my husband ordered the Chopped Cheese and it was delicious! Also stuffed full of mix-ins, and with a bit of Greek-inspired flavor. The seasoned fries on the side were also tasty. I'm sure we'll be back soon to take advantage of their awesome happy hour deals. And judging by other reviews, it sounds like I need to try their falafel!

Love that there's a little lot for parking. We came on Sunday and it was during happy hour so margs were $6. My friend wanted to get the oysters and when they came out, I kinda doubted them because they were small, but wow it was delicious and fresh. Even better with the vinaigrette that came with it. We also got the mezze platter, which looks colorful and good, but it was all a little bland. Felt like blended chickpeas and cheese. I love hummus and this came with hummus, honey whipped feta, and garlic, which was a good spread, but I didn't love it. I tried my friend's beef pita and I also thought the food was bland and didn't have a lot of flavor unfortunately.

When I run into a place that supposedly has good drinks, I have to order a Last Word. They nailed it. I ordered some food as well, and decided to go with the cheeseburger (note that it doesn't come with fries, and the fries are super pricy). The cheeseburger was definitely a step above typical bar food. I'd give it a 4/5. The food took about 20 minutes to come out, so a little slow, but manageable. I'll definitely be back. Seems like they have a fun rotation of music with different genres.

We then proceeded to place an order of food. We finished our cocktails and finished our food. After waiting for about 15 minutes and no one acknowledged us, we waved one of the bartenders down as she approached the cash register and requested to close out. The bartender seemed bothered that we flagged her down and quickly turned back using a micro aggressive tone and responded that she needed to complete helping a customer before she can help us. I have worked in customer service/food and cocktail industry and her tone/response was completely unnecessary. We have been to a few "dive" bars in the past In CA, NY, AZ, TX, AL and other parts of Tennessee and we have never encountered a response like that before. Maybe it was a busy Saturday afternoon or maybe they do not cater to diversity. Regardless we will not be returning.

Burger 10/10- I would like to think I'm a burger connoisseur, so I know a good burger. This is in my top 3 in East for sure. Chili cheese fries- 2.5/5 nothing to brag to much on. The chili was different than what I'm used to. So I wasn't that big of a fan. Aqua Fresca- absolutely not! It's nothing like an aqua fresca you'd get from an authentic spot. It tasted like pure artificial flavor with no sweetness. If you're ever in the area and need an old school vibey chill dimly lit bar, it's Schulmans.

From entry to exit, the East Nashville vibes are felt, smelt and noted in everything about this place from the floor, ceiling, walls, art, music, menus to the ash trays and shelf of cigarettes for sale outside. It is a classic East Nashville spot that has roots in the city that stretch long beyond its opening on the corner of Greenwood and Porter. We had been hearing about the burger at Schulman's and finally decided to check it out on a Saturday afternoon. In addition the burger, we were after the vibes and a good cocktail, all of which we got once we bellied up to the outdoor bar. The menu is classic bar fare and we started off with an order of fried pickles, then jumped into our meals that consisted of a couple of burgers, a patty melt and pastrami sandwich sides with regular and beastie fries. I went with the patty melt, which was delish and the burgers were also a big hit! The fries were solid, especially the beastie...with that, they LOVE their onions here, which works, because love onions, especially sauteed onions...so put them on everything! To cap our meal off we shared the fried apple pie, which was fried perfectly and filled just enough with the goods to not be overwhelmingly sweet or messy. All in all, the food was stellar! For drinks, we all went with a few different things, I went with the Seasonal Agua Fresca and added Gin, while my friends went with a couple of standard cocktails and one decided to be fancy and ordered The Schulman's Champagne of Beer! All the drinks were delightful and I even got to keep the cup my agua fresca came in, so win-win! Service was excellent. From entry to exit, the bartender was friendly, engaging, fun and just an overall pleasure to deal with. The food runners were solid as well. Only downside, if you drive, is the parking is a bit limited, but that is Nashville at this point. Not enough to be reflected in the rating, but just be aware and probably best to scoop up that spot along the street if you see one close by. Overall, absolute fan of Schulman's!
