Guys Getaway

Hit the Greens

Tee up for 18 holes at Swan Lake Golf Course, Eastland Green or The River Club…maybe all three. From Eastland Green, enjoy  a hearty American entree at C.A.P.S.'s Neighborhood Grill, or swing in Golly G’s for a hand-churned ice cream or milkshake and other baked goods. The River Club offers a restaurant on-site. Downtown, find an old-fashioned burger and fries, fried chicken sandwiches or honey bun and cream at Johnny’s Big Burger across from APSU. Fresh beef on the grill just like it has been since 1965.

Shoot Your Shot

If shooting is your preferred sport, countless options are in store at the 126-acre Montgomery County Shooting Complex. Choose between sporting clays, trap, skeet, five-stand, tactical pistol ranges, 3-D archers, dynamic steel rifle/pistol ranges, long-range rifle and more.

Cross Creek Clays is one of the nation's premier shotgun destinations nestled in the rolling hills of Palmyra just 20 minutes from downtown Clarksville. The property has three 16-station sporting courses for shooters of all abilities, two 40-foot towers with launching platforms, two covered 5-stands with Wobble traps, four FITASC Parcours practice fields, and a beautiful 7,000-square-foot rustic clubhouse complete with a pro shop.

Top Places to Hangout

Looking to unwind with a cigar and a beer? Visit Up In Smoke Cigars or Screaming Eagle Cigars, both veteran-owned and operated lounges. Enjoy beer on tap, televisions, games, and more. If you need a break from the hustle and bustle, drop by and relax.

Kick back or kick up your heels with live outdoor music every weekend all year long at Beachaven Winery, during the summer months at Old Glory Distilling and the first and third Fridays during the summer at Downtown Commons. 

Grab a pizza and enjoy the beer and trivia at The Thirsty Goat. Take in panoramic cityscapes at Skyline 500. Take a turn at open mic night at Joker's Comedy House or sit back for a top-notch lineup of scheduled acts.

Duck Pin Bowling, drinks, and a taco truck under one roof at Varsity Pins might just be the perfect evening pairing. For later nights, fuzeball, pool, drinks, food and plenty of big screens are on tap at Upstairs at Strawberry Alley.

Get Outdoors

Other ideas for outdoor adventure include the North Ford Street Mountain Bike Trail, disc golf at Rotary Park, rock climbing at Kings Bluff, or fishing any of Clarksville's dozens of rivers and tributaries. 

Highlight the History

The Tennessee Wings of Liberty Museum opened in 2026 to showcase the history of the 101st Airborne Division and other special forces units stationed at the Fort Campbell Army Post. See and engage in captivating displays from 1942 through present-day conflicts. The museum is free and located just outside the installation. Fort Defiance Civil War Park & Interpretive Center illustrates the area's Civil War story. The site's earthworks are some of the best preserved in the nation.

Local Libations

Take in a tour and tasting at Old Glory Distilling. This small batch, grass-to-grain distillery offers Old Glory Tennessee Vodka, Smooth Shine and Jumper’s Stash White Rum, and Premium Tennessee Whiskey. At veteran-owned Leatherwood Distillery downtown, enjoy bourbon, whiskey, rum, gin and vodka, along with creative cocktails and mocktails. Capture the passion of local brews at Star Spangled Brewing, Strawberry Alley Ale Works, Blackhorse Pub & Brewery and Evill Nash.

Burgers & Breakfast

Eggs Up Grill, Keke's, Harvest Kitchen + Spirits, and First Watch (opening in late 2026) serve full and satisfying breakfasts daily. For a local experience, Cafe 931 serves up a variety of hearty breakfast burritos with a Mexican flair, along with healthier options like create-your-own acai bowls and fresh cold pressed juices. On weekends, enjoy hearty brunches at Joe's Garage, The Mailroom, Strawberry Alley Ale Works and Blackhorse Pub.

You'll find dozens of choices for great burgers! Johnny's Big Burger is your classic diner, serving fresh beef on the open grill since 1965. If your palate is more adventurous, try the stuffed Mac and Cheese or Chili Cheese Tater Tot Burger at Kinlea's Cheesecakes, one of Clarksville's newest restaurants. Then top it off with any of a dozen or more cheesecake flavors.
