The Blackhorse originally opened in 1992 as the Franklin Street Pub in downtown Clarksville. Our founders, Jeff and Sherri Robinson, decided to settle down after Jeff’s deployment in Desert Storm as a pilot in the 101st Airborne. Clarksville was, and remains, a military town with many of our beers, like the Batch 160 and Batch 101, reflecting the special connection that the Blackhorse has with our military. The Blackhorse has been a mainstay of downtown Clarksville ever since, and we have been honored to be part of countless graduations, weddings, Hail and Farewells, reunions, and more.
The combination of chef-inspired food, expertly made craft beer, and historic downtown Clarksville location makes Strawberry Alley Ale Works a place like no other. Our recipes are made fresh from scratch using the best ingredients we can find. Our mission is to be your favorite locally owned watering hole: a place where friends can gather to celebrate great food, great beers, and great times.
