I am looking at deploying a Clojure web app, and I remember using Heroku for rails which was brilliant. Is there anything similar available for Clojure?

As of July 2011, Heroku now officially supports Clojure:

We're very excited to announce official support for Clojure, going into public beta as of today.

Currently, the closest there is to Heroku for Clojure is... Heroku: https://gist.github.com/1001206

Google App Engine! GAE supports Java and hence Clojure. I don't have any personal experience of such a project, but this blog seems to have relevent tutorials. Google for it and you'll find some more links like this.

Also github.com/gcv/appengine-magic makes development in clojure for gae alot easier. excelent library! –  Mikael Sundberg Jan 3 '11 at 14:20
@Mikael Sundberg You should add that as an answer, because I was going to but you were here first ;) –  ponzao Jan 3 '11 at 15:30

You might also look at stax.net which offers a full Java container deployment (without the restrictions imposed by Google App Engine). CloudBees just bought Stax so Stax will become CloudBees RUN@Cloud service (according to their recent webinar).

You can read how to deploy Clojure on CloudBees here: https://cloudbees.zendesk.com/entries/452746-clojure-deployment-on-cloudbees
