APSU students need a dining place that is fun, reasonably priced, has great food and is staffed with some of the best service around. One such restaurant is located conveniently in downtown Clarksville only a few minutes away from campus at 132 Franklin Street.

The Blackhorse Pub and Brewery is a wonderful spot for anyone, especially students, to enjoy some tasty food and unwind from a stressful day.

The Blackhorse is extremely unique and interesting. Upon walking in, guests enjoy an old English tavern feel that manages to be a hip hangout spot for people of all ages. It was established in 1992 and has even survived the tragic tornado of 1999.

Initially, the restaurant and brewery were two separate buildings. Only those aged 21 and over could enter the brewery. However, in 1995, the separating wall was knocked out and the pub and restaurant became one.

The main attraction of the Blackhorse is its beer. The beer makes its way down all three floors tp the end of the brewing process the basement. People visit the pub to enjoy many different types of homebrewed beer. According to the Blackhorse Web site, "Our hand-crafted beers are what sets us apart from everyone else. We take time and care with each beer; from the all-natural ingredients to the time it fills your glass, to make sure it's fresh and flavorful."

The Blackhorse proudly states the Barnstormer Red Ale is its "Flagship Beer." If guests are looking for something lighter, the Blackhorse Ale is their lightest beer in color and flavor.

Blackhorse employees not only spend time on preparing beer and making sure it is perfectly served, but much attention is focused on the food as well. According to The Blackhorse Web site, "Our restaurant offers a diverse menu to suit every guest! Our kitchen staff strives to ensure a consistent high quality of food in a timely manner."
