We are a polished casual restaurant that is locally owned. We had a vision to bring exceptional food to Clarksville. We took our years of restaurant experience and developed a menu ambiance and taste like no other in Clarksville. With a spacious concrete bar top that just screams at you to be sat it and eat great food and drink cold beer and watch one of 11 TVs. Guests have the option to sit in the dining room phase of Clyde's that is more for families and date nights, without the distractions of tv's so you may talk as a family and or talk with that first date. The dimness of the restaurant is only so you may decide your lighting at your table with your personal lamp that has four light settings that you can decide on. Set the mood for romance, business or just a friend night. Great Food Exceptional Service Great Ambiance. All we are missing is you! Come see us at Clyde's where the guest experience is #1. The deck overlooking the golf course is a view that is like no other.
