Best Live Music Restaurants in Old Hickory / Hermitage

My husband and I really enjoyed our experience... we hope to make it a tradition to go during the holidays, as it was so beautifully decorated. We cannot wait to go again, the food was so good, and cocktails were perfection. Our server, along with the other staff, were wonderful as well.

The hostess was so fun and kind. Her energy was perfect as the first person you interact with when you arrive. Our server was very nice. Orders were accurate and timely. It was our daughter’s birthday and she loved the surprise Sunday.

This place is a very special dining experience. Nowhere can you find a spot with live jazz and mellow music in the middle of the dining room. This type of thing seems like a bygone era but not at the Scull. Stepping inside is like entering an alternate universe with old brick walls, creaking wood floors and upscale dining in an environment that is unique and beyond explanation. The menu offers many options, and pricing is high, but you are paying for an experience and atmosphere that is priceless. We made a reservation and visited the week before Christmas so the musical entertainers played a variety of holiday songs along with old world favorites from the likes of Frand Sinatra to Johnny Cash. I can't say enough good things about this place other than to say you must go and see for yourself.

The food was delicious. Lobster roll was market value, $36 that day for a hot dog sized roll with a side of chips. It was very good though. The Southampton Pizza was very flavorful, as was the New England clam chowder. Best chowder next to what we’ve had in Boston. It’s a little loud in the restaurant. But not obnoxious. The majority of the Christmas decorations (if you’re coming to see those because you saw it on social media) are on the rooftop level. The rest of the restaurant is regular ambiance. Very friendly service. I would go back.

Had a blast at the Ohio state football watch party!!
