    Skull's is a classed-up Printer's Alley dive open since 1948, known equally for a strong pour and a surprisingly good lobster bisque, plus weekly burlesque and live jazz that keep the room lively. The Infatuation calls it a Nashville institution.

  • Soups

    Skull's Rainbow Room in Printer's Alley is a bar, a live music room and a home for burlesque, and its lobster bisque is what keeps people coming back even on nights without a show. The bisque is silky, creamy and buttery, given depth by a splash of cognac, loaded with hunks of Maine lobster tail and finished with a dollop of creme fraiche. Order the lobster bisque.
