By CHAD GARLAND | STARS AND STRIPES Published: March 5, 2021 Soldiers are mourning the closure of a popular veteran-owned pub near an Army base in Tennessee, after fire ravaged much of the building. The Blackhorse Pub & Brewery in Clarksville suffered significant smoke and water damage, owners Jeff and Sherri Robinson said in a post on the business’s Facebook page Wednesday. A former helicopter pilot with the 101st Airborne Division at nearby Fort Campbell, Jeff Robinson got the idea for the pub while serving in Desert Storm in 1991, the Clarksville Leaf Chronicle reported. He opened it on St. Patrick’s Day the following year.

CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – At lunch time on Thursday, what would normally be one of the busiest doors in Clarksville was blocked off by yellow tape. The entrance to Blackhorse Pub & Brewery was propped open to air out the water-soaked interior, revealing a lobby floor covered in shattered glass and debris.
But a look through the remaining windows showed less damage that what many feared: The main dining area is intact, along with the inside brewing station and the 1800s-era mirrored antique bar.
The furnishings are a different matter: “Everything in there is either wet or ruined or it’s dirty. Smoke and soot. It’s a big damn mess,” said Jeff Robinson, who owns the Blackhorse with his wife, Sherri.
