Patios and outdoor dining in Clarksville

Last checked 2026-10-18. Refreshed every three months.

Clarksville’s outdoor dining is mostly downtown on North Second Street, where The Mailroom’s patio and Shelby’s Trio’s ground-floor seating and rooftop bar sit near Downtown Commons and F&M Bank Arena. Old Chicago on Wilma Rudolph Boulevard, Hooters on North Riverside Drive and The Thirsty Goat’s beer garden in Sango round out the list.

How we made this list. We started from the OpenStreetMap records for restaurants inside Clarksville tagged with outdoor seating, the same records that feed our local directory, and kept a place only where its own website, checked on 2026-10-18, mentions a patio, outdoor seating, a rooftop or a beer garden. The Mailroom and Shelby’s Trio were added from their own sites. Places whose sites do not mention outdoor seating are left off, even if the map records say they have it. The list is alphabetical; it is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. If your entry is wrong, write to us.
