Best bar in Clemson hands down in my opinion! I always am sincerely received with friendly service and cordial cocktails. Dave is one of the most entertaining bartenders amongst the rest of the staff. Backstreets hosted a phenomenal band last weekend, The Grateful Brothers, boasting a tranquil bar atmosphere with good vibes all around! I have high expectations for the future...

A lot of people put up false reviews for this place because they decided they did not want guns in their bar. They did it with a snarky sign and people got butt hurt. So here's the lo down on how they are as a restaurant and bar, and not an opinion on the extent to which 2nd amendment rights apply to private businesses: Their beer selection is the best in Clemson. Tons of cans and bottles and lots of taps. They get some really great craft stuff in. Plus this year they started the 100 beer club where you get a shirt and a plaque if you drink 100 beers there. The bartenders love their beer and make some great recommendations. Their food is bar food but they definitely step it up. Most things always have a little something something that takes it up a notch above standard bar food. Also their weekly specials are very good. Monday - 1 tacos, Tuesday - 5.75 large pizza, Wed -. 6.75/dzn wings, Thursday - burger night (6 for house burger and fries or tots, only 1 for speciality burger. They also have an upstairs and downstairs patio. Pups are allowed on the lower patio Mon to Thurs till 8. Update: Food is not as good as it used to be but it's decent bar food. Still a great selection of beer and staff is helpful. Two pool tables downstairs.

Can’t say enough about this place. This was an all time favorite bar of mine when I lived in Clemson and I visit it every time I’m back in town. Dave and Chip (hopefully both still there) were two of the best bartenders in town and make some of the best shots you can think of. The food is always good and always cooked to order. Support these guys! Great bar and really good food.

The food is very good with big portions. I particularly like the Philly cheese steak. Beer and drinks are reasonably priced. Service is great, I sit at the bar if I'm by myself, but never had a problem getting a table.

Oh my sweet baby Yeezus in the Oval Office... this place was delicious, those Texas Pete’s fries were delicious, the dipping sauces were delicious. But... BABY! That spicy chicken and waffle took my taste buds on a journey of which I never want to back! This was an beyond good idea and I’m glad I stopped in. I’ll be back soon!

Hands down the best wings in the upstate. Yes you order at the bar but, the service is always great. Never been disappointed with anything we’ve ordered, and we visit once a week. Don’t pass this place up.

Our organization hosted a social here last Friday and had a great time. The manager, Dave, patiently answered all my questions before and during the event. He rearranged tables downstairs and had warmers under our appetizers to keep them fresh throughout our event. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I really appreciate how above and beyond they went!
