Where to go before & after basketball game?

I’m planning to go to a Wed night hoops game at Clemson, and I’d like to experience the classic Clemson vibe. Where should I go for dinner before the game and for a craft beer after?

Esso Club before any sort of athletic event is a must. If you’re looking for good beer close by afterward, Backstreets (downtown) has the best selection in town, but you might run into the college crowd. If you don’t mind going a little ways out to avoid the downtown scene, there’s a beer garden in Pendleton

Thanks! I’m a retired college administrator, so the college crowd and downtown scene are exactly what I’m looking for!

Then another spot I’d recommend is Tiger Town Tavern (TTT or Triple T’s). It’s right in the middle of downtown and is the quintessential Clemson bar

Brave person to attend Clemson basketball. Not good for the blood pressure :slight_smile:
