Cledis Burgers & Beer occupies a fast-casual space in The Gulch, one of three Nashville locations alongside Bellevue and Elm Hill. The menu centers on smashed burgers, sandwiches, and wings, backed by a rotating tap list of 24 local and regional beers and ciders — each location runs its own beer menu.
The Gulch space mixes indoor dining with an outdoor beer garden and fire pits, plus bar seating for a quick bite. It's dog-friendly and built for a laid-back, come-as-you-are visit.
The restaurant is named for founder Shane Nasby's late grandfather, Cledis Nolen, who ran the Midway Cafe in Charlottesville, Indiana — the small-town, neighbors-at-the-table feel Nasby set out to recreate. Regulars point to the atmosphere and service as much as the burgers, with repeat customers citing friendly staff even as reports note some inconsistency in food quality across the three locations.
