• Steakhouse • Midtown

Housed in a glorious Southern mansion in the heart of Music City, Jimmy Kelly’s continues to be the standard by which all American steakhouses are measured. Founded in 1934 while the country was in the throes of the Great Depression and just one year removed from the repeal of prohibition, Jimmy Kelly made a promise to himself and his diners. Simply put, he would serve a great steak, a generous portion of whiskey and insure the service was always attentive. Making good on that promise has been the cornerstone of the restaurant’s success and enabled it to survive and flourish. Now over 80 years later and operated by the third generation of Kellys, it has earned a reputation as one of the grand old restaurants not only in Nashville but the entire southeast. Come anytime and enjoy a great steak and a generous portion of whiskey!

Great dinner in a nice restaurant. Our server was fantastic and energetic, and she even provided us a hand written list of some nearby bars to check out. Very nice dinner. We had the prime rib and chicken fried chicken. The Mac and cheese was also wonderful. Great pours of champagne with some sparkly glitter inside and the lemon drop martini was nice

After reading many comments about Skull’s, we were thrilled to get a dinner reservation. The cocktails were fantastic, the food was incredible (try the pork chop) but the show was the best! We did not expect to see and hear such talent. It is worth taking a nap to be able to enjoy this late night!!

1st time at Sinatra’s and it did not disappoint. The ambiance was great, old school lounge feel. The service was great, food and drinks were very good. The alcohol was a bit over priced but expected for downtown Nashville. We enjoyed the live piano music and singing too. We will definitely be back.
