Clarksburg's independent scene is under pressure every city's independent scene is under. These places exist because people decided they were worth supporting. That's the only reason.
District Place Clarksburg
The Hill, Clarksburg
A Clarksburg institution that predates the current interest in this neighborhood by over a decade. Regulars are protective of it in the way people protect things they're afraid of losing.
First Spot Clarksburg
West Side, Clarksburg
Opened by a Clarksburg native who came back after working elsewhere. Narrow focus — they do one thing. They do it better than places that try to do everything.

The kind of place that gets one-star reviews from people confused about the concept and five-star reviews from everyone else. Know what it is before you walk in.
Original House Clarksburg
The Hill, Clarksburg
