Dragon King's Daughter's relocation to Market Street begins at the end of June.

Yesterday, we learned of a forthcoming brief respite for Quills.

Public service announcement for fans of Quills, which will be closed for a few days for the alley move.

Next in line is Dragon King's Daughter, making the long-awaited move to 129 W. Market Street -- Gary Wolf's market, at least to some of us old-timers.

Of course, this means there'll be a space to fill at the corner of Elm and Bank. If you hear anything, let us know.

At some point between now and mid-July, we'll also be seeing at least three openings: Longboard's, Double Barrel and Pints&union. for more information, skip to here ...

Downtown NA restaurant and bar scorecard: one new location, two openings and four coming soon.

... and take note that The Wright House Bar BQ seems already to have decamped to a different location in Clarksville.

The restaurant will reopen with some new menu options, including the only robata grills in the region, according to General Manager Ryan Westphal. Robata is short for robatayaki, which means “fireside cooking,” and is a Japanese cuisine similar to barbecue that originated centuries ago when Japanese fishermen cooked around a communal hearth.
