50 Best Bars near Clarksville

“We had a cheeseburger and we shared the hot wings. We had the wings shaken in buffalo sauce and they were perfect. The cheeseburger was so good and had been hand pattied. The bar had several beers on tap.We had good service and the prices were extremely reasonable!It is a tavern. So it is not too kid friendly.“

“We were headed to an appointment on Veteran's on my Birthday and wifey said "Where do you want to go for your Birthday dinner"? My answer is always...ALWAYS...Chuy's. Since we've been by this location a few times it made the decision easy.

From the outside to the inside, Chuy's is themed very well. It's colorful, has a shaded waiting area outside, and as you approach the building you get drawn into the experience. The inside is just as vibrant as the outside, and there's so much stuff hanging from the ceiling you wonder how it stays up. There are also multiple dining areas, and the building is much bigger inside than it looks outside.

The staff is constantly in motion here, and one of the cool things they do is provide your silverware in a sealed paper bag, ensuring that is has been cleaned and sanitized.

Chuy's tortilla chips are amazing...no, they're fantastic...no, they're OUTSTANDING. Thin, light, and crisp, and freshly made. I've eaten chips in (and this is not an exaggeration) hundreds of Mexican restaurants. These are THE BEST, hands down. They have a (I'm guessing) sour cream based jalapeño salsa that is out of this world delicious.

I ordered the steak burrito, and I was only disappointed when I was done with it. :( It was amazing, and the steak was cooked like it was in a contest. I'd have taken a picture, but it would have meant waiting to start eating it. Chuy's is also not afraid to use spice, and the steak burrito was definitely my idea of perfectly spicy.

Because Wifey mentioned that it was my birthday we got some delicious warm, fresh churros in an amazing warm caramel sauce. Chuy's doesn't play the "Let's Sing Happy Birthday to the Birthday Guest" game (thankfully), but to be honest, those churros were better than a piece of birthday cake would have been anyway.

Our first visit to this location was great and since we're routinely in Clarksville, we will 100% visit again!“

“The service has greatly improved, definitely will be back soon!“

“Quaint, quiet, couple atmosphere nice drinks I will be back“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tartan House: My New Personality Trait. You know those bars where you walk in and immediately think, "Oh, this is the spot?" Yeah, that’s Tartan House. From the moment you step inside, you just know your night is about to level up. ✨ The cocktails?? Unreal. 🍸 Like, sip once, immediately question every basic drink you’ve ever had kind of unreal. The bartenders? Straight-up artists. They craft drinks so good, it’s almost rude how effortlessly cool they make it look. And the vibe?? Chef’s kiss. 👌 It’s giving classy but not pretentious, cozy but still a little mysterious—basically, the kind of place where you could have a deep life talk or plot world domination, depending on the drink. 😏🔥 Final thoughts: If you haven’t been to Tartan House yet, fix that immediately. This isn’t just a bar, it’s a whole experience. Your taste buds deserve this. 🍹💃“

“We love Decade and hope they bring back the happy hour burger thing they had going for a while. The drawback is the same as so many local restaurants that we want to support - the prices are getting out of control, especially for cocktails. Help us help you!“

“One of the best burgers I’ve had the pleasure to consume! And I seek out burgers all across this awesome country! Just sayin“

“Tho I am very much a Scotch lover, this bar dedicated to Bourbon deserves well earned praise. A dark, moody atmosphere, with leather sofas and chairs, and lots of natural wood. Stepping in here increased my testosterone by at least 500%. A perfect place to sip a wonderful selection of Bourbon.“

“As we all know, today I went to Planet of the Tapes. It was a cool summer day and my cousin and I tasked ourselves to find a record store that was open. We did and we went there, then left. That part had little to nothing to do with Planet of the Tapes. We also ate kebabs which is another meaningless fact but not for the bit where I spied a bidet in the bathroom when I went teetee. I too own a bidet and love it! I don’t know if planet of the tapes has a bidet, but what they do have is an excellent unique atmosphere, great tunes that are at the precise decibel of maximum listening pleasure, drinks that are the perfect mix of booze to mix ratio if you are into that sort of thing, and did I mention moon pies? I know what you’re thinking. Chris, there are moon pies at Publix. Why don’t we just drink there? I’ll tell you why…Publix doesn’t have excellent events going on frequently. Where the last time you got to watch a gore movie at Publix. Probably only once and you had to stream it on your tablet didn’t you….and I bet you watched it alone and everyone thought you were shoplifting. I don’t frequent this side of town but there used to be a big fun bar beside it called Jillian’s or something, I can’t remember, anyway ample parking so I don’t have to Uber because I can’t parallel park. Let me tell you something else. If you don’t go here and see what all the fuss is about I will tell everyone that you have the hots for your stepmom and secretly draw pictures of her gams all day then spray her perfume on them. PS I noticed one of the tags above says rooftop. Yes, they have a roof on top.“

“Amazing beer selection, vibe and owners!“

“Simply the best! Highly recommended!!“

“All good, no complaints try it out“

“Great experience away from the tourist traps. They bring Whiskey to a art form. Hidden gem in my opinion.“

“Such a comfortable friendly place!“

“Mellwood Tavern is a treasure. Great food and drinks and the best staff in town. The fried chicken and sides they serve on Tuesdays and Thursdays are second to none. Live music is always great and they have the friendliest patrons you’ll find anywhere. It’s a really special place and we’re lucky to have them in the ‘Ville!“

“People are really friendly they make u feel at home, the atmosphere is amazing, and they always have great live music, Wednesdays are bingo nights and Thursdays they have open mike, hope to see u all there“

“Great place to come by boat.“

“Fun place run by good people, Fantastic bartenders and a great atmosphere. Sunday Sinema is my pick to click !!!“

“Great dive bar. The staff were super nice and the Bloody Mary was simple and delicious. This place is no frills and chill. The pool tables have seen better days and a few of the cues could stand to be replaced but if you just want to play a game of slop while you kick back a great drink at a reasonable price, it does the job just fine. The bar side was a little loud due to the music volume but the side with the pool tables and games was very reasonable.“

“This is the first time my partner and I have been to Louisville and we decided to stop by Meta. If you too decide to stop by you'll be met with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The bartenders were so chill and willing to work with us to get our drinks just how we'd like them. Nataleigh and Khryss were super awesome and made my partner and I feel so welcome! Thank you guys so much for making our time in Louisville that much better! We hope to see you again next time we visit!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cheese & Vibes? Say Less. I walked into Cultured thinking I’d have a cute little cheese moment—and walked out a full-blown dairy enthusiast. 🧀✨ If you love great wine, perfectly curated cheese boards, and an atmosphere that makes you feel effortlessly cool, welcome to your new obsession. The selection?? Next level. Every cheese, every pairing, every sip of wine feels intentional, elevated, and just straight-up delicious. Like, I took one bite and immediately started questioning why I ever settled for basic grocery store cheese. (I’ve changed. I’m different now.) And the vibe?? Absolutely flawless. It’s giving "I’m sophisticated but also fun"—the kind of place where you could have a romantic date, a gossip-filled wine night, or just sit alone and pretend you’re the mysterious lead in an indie film. 🎭🍷 Final thoughts? Cultured isn’t just a wine & cheese shop—it’s a lifestyle. If you haven’t been yet, grab your people (or just yourself, no shame) and go treat your taste buds to something truly elite. 🧀🍷🔥“

“Cool place!!! Great beer and burgers!!!“

“I'm not drinking anywhere but here. The bartender was super friendly. You dont see natural care and concern in ther service industry at this caliber.. I watched him offer a patron a ride come as well as after offering me a menu of a local spit--- offering me his personal food. I've never walked in an establishment and had the vibe scream "family" so loudly. Nothing but love here.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Craftery: Sip, Create, Repeat. If Pinterest and happy hour had a baby, it would be The Craftery. 🎨🍸 This DIY dreamland is where you go to unleash your inner artist, sip on something strong, and leave with a project that’s both brag-worthy and totally custom. From paint to power tools, the vibe is very much "I made this—and also I’m fabulous."

The team is friendly, the drinks are flowing, and the playlist? Always a bop. 🎶 Final thoughts? The Craftery is the go-to for creative therapy—with a cocktail. Come thirsty, leave crafty, and bring your friends—because this is one experience you’ll want to do again and again. ✨🍹🎨“

“Such an interesting place! Absolutely a wonderful spot for locals and visitors alike. The staff here are friendly and fast. The atmosphere is clearly well thought out, but not overly fussy. It’s a great place that one could enjoy on their own, or with the whole famn damily! I’ve only had a chance to visit once, but I’ll definitely be visiting again and again! You should go!“

“band nights and atmosphere“

“This place is always a hoot. Fridays and Saturdays karaoke is a lot of fun with genres and personalities all over the place! The dj is too funny.The bar staff are so nice and do well keeping up with the busy and loud crowds.Other nights, it's a low key place to have a drink and a chat.“

“They make their craft cocktail syrups in house & the quality surpasses my expectations every time! Their food never disappoints & you can tell that their staff cares and we always have an amazing time when we visit here.“

“Spencer and Ellis are stupid amazing food came out so fast and accurate. They are A1 employees tip tf out of them“

“Fun trivia on Wednesday’s!“

“Dear staff, thank you very very much for your great hospitality: We enjoyed your generosity and kindness on 18 february 2025. Very good and fresh made food in a really nice corner! Best regards from Family KERN from Cologne, Rhineland/Germany!😃“

“We loooooove the Silver Dollar!! We're so happy that our favorite neighborhood restaurant has reopened. We are looking forward to trying all of their new menu items. My dog & I enjoy sitting out back on their cute patio & my son is addicted to the Chicken & Waffles. I'd highly recommend Silver Dollar to anyone who wants to refine their bourbon palate. We've been indulging in the $40 bourbon flight specials on Wednesdays. All the Silver Dollar bartenders are very demure, very mindful especially Jay! We loooooove Whiskey by the Drink“

“Excellent music venue in the back. Bar in the back saves you the walk out into the bar which tends to stay very busy and you will wait longer for drinks. The bar staff makes excellent cocktails.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps inside and out“

“I was there this week for an event. The hotel was fabulous. Here’s what made it even better… I needed to make a purchase at the Trading Post on the third floor. I received the absolute best customer service from Tony Greenwell, and his associate Kyle… I can’t tell you how much I appreciate their level of customer service and professionalism. I love Louisville and travel there a few times a year for work… Hoping to stay at this hotel again so that I can receive the same level of customer service each and every time. Thank you, gentlemen, once again.“

“We were in town for a bourbon trail trip, for which we used Matson & Gilman for our trip planning. Part of our itinerary was a private / guided tasting at Trouble Bar. Our hose, Nicole, was extremely engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate about the pours that we had and answered all of our questions. We had a great time here and would recommend it to anyone in the area.“

“Great place to hang out at! I’d like to give a shout out to two of most chillest bartenders in the business as well as two of the most realest down to earth people I’ve ever crossed wakes with, Allen and Karla! You two are awesome! Nugget Fever!!“

“Everyone is welcome great atmosphere and food“

“Incredible place from top to bottom! They went above and beyond accommodating our group. Ami was sensational! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“One of my favorite places to hang out. I always feel safe there. Great prices on drinks wonderful back patio.“

“We went here for a bingo event and had an absolute blast! I wont lie, when we first walked in the vibe just seemed off. We weren't greeted by anyone and had no clue where to sit or how to order drinks or food. We finally asked one of the staff members and got it all figured out. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was very friendly! The bingo event was so much fun and we won a bunch of really cool prizes! We will definitely be returning!“

“Hands down one of the most unique eclectic literal gems of Louisville“

“The BEST boneless wings!! Try the Caribbean sauce, you won’t be disappointed. Love the atmosphere and outdoor space. Great place to go if you’re in Louisville!“

“If you are into dive bars with the locals then Marma Dukes is the place for you. They have the cheapest drinks in town and the atmosphere is always a blast. Saturdays there is karaoke and it is more fun than you can imagine. This bar is a true to live CHEERS where the locals know everyone's name and it is a very homely place to chill have drinks, play pool, and even on Saturdays let loose your best impressions of famous musicians.“

“This was a beautiful bar located inside the Omni hotel decorated like a classic library. The atmosphere is top notch and has a very relaxed feel. The bartender was kind and made amazing drinks. The specialty cocktail list is limited but we tried three of them and loved each of them. The alcohol and ingredients they use is high quality, so expect an amazing drink. If you are in the hotel district downtown, I highly recommend visiting this bar for a quick drink or even just to relax in the space.“

“went for my first time tonight. it was a fantastic atmosphere and welcoming people. the cast was fantastic and the owners are great! I recommend pride bar. I am a straight male who will stand by this and state they really have the hospitality we need in the community! I'll definitely be back!!!!“

“Best show in town on a Saturday night!“

“The bar itself is wonderful, great music, atmosphere. But if you’re a girl looking to ride the bull, don’t attempt to if the blonde girl with fluttering fake eyelashes who looks like she hates her job is behind the control center. She didn’t give any girl a chance, she immediately threw them off unless you were one of her friends of course. Everyone should get the same treatment. They also charge a cover charge to get in, which is understandable but it automatically trys to get you to tip 25% for a cover charge…“

“Really fun location, close to lots of great spots!“

“Finally a bar without an old, ancient, first hand experience at stonewall gay man making the drink. Its like a hidden gem, but i found it ofc. You should def visit if your good at talking so you can bag a few trades and paint them before the night is over 😘“

“If you plan on doing karaoke, you better bring your best! Everyone that went up tore the house down. Service was excellent, and drinks were reasonably priced. Great atmosphere and incredibly welcoming. I'll be by again if I'm in the area“
