Best Live Music Restaurants in The Nations / Village West

Had such a wonderful evening! The food was delicious. Drinks were festive and yummy. And the atmosphere was more than I’d hoped for! Really got us in the Christmas spirit!

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.

We decided to eat here for Thanksgiving Day and had a great time. The service was incredible, food was flavorful, and the ambiance was just what we hoped! It is pay to park or valet but we were able to pay for several hours, and leave the car parked here while we explored Broadway. Overall great experience at this HR Cafe location!

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