Slow service. The food was served cold. When we complained we just got ignored by the server. When we finally did get the attention of a "manager" he was rude but did get the food remade. More likely it was just heated up in the microwave because the bun on the burger was like chewing gum. I'll never go back. read more

The worst food and service I've ever ever had!! The employees and manager are very unfriendly and the price isn't worth it!

Horrible even before the 'Rona caused so many problems. Just go to TDs or TTTs, you'll be much better off

I stopped in with a few other guys from the 87th Ranger SEALs Regiment We were in our way to door gunner training at NASA. But I digress. We waited 30 minutes for a table. When we were seated, we ordered a round of PBRs( ironically). They don't carry PBR apparently. So, we went with a bucket of ZIMAs as the owner recommended it as his favorite. Not bad The food? We ordered the burgers and fries. Cold, greasy and bread soggy. In the Stan, we had better chow than this but that's classified. Price tag was about 87 dollars for 4 guys. Can't recommend. read more

It's one thing to be anti gun, not my thing but your opinion is your right. It's also your right to limit your patronage as you see fit. If someone brings a gun into a privately owned place, and the owner doesn't want it there, that's fine by me. The difference is when you cross the line from respectfully declining service to attacking the moral values of your customers. That is the essence of poor customer customer service. If you let your political or social views cloud your ability to provide quality customer service. Even if I wasn't a CCW holder and I saw this sign on your establishment, I would not go there. Not because I don't agree ideoligically with the sentiment, but beceause any owner of a business who would verbally attack a segment of their possible patronage is not someone I want to give money to. Hope the owner comes around and talks treating everyone with equality and respect. read more

While you have your right to serve whom ever you please, we have a right to not be served by you. I don't wish for business to close because of the employees needing jobs. However, I hope that you, the owners, feel the tremendous pinch of losing customers because you are denying them their Constitutional right to cary a weapon, concealed or not. OH and by the way, how the heck are you going to know if they have a concealed weapon? Not very bright of you. As a law abiding citizen who believes in our Constitutional right, I will never shope, eat or visit a place who denies me any of my rights. I am a gun owner and a licensed concealed carry law abiding citizen who has served this country for you to be able to show our ignorance and to defend our Constitutional rights. read more

Decided to try this because of the beer selection, and it was quite good! Typical college bar joint with decent food choices!

Had the sampler and a dozen wings- both were great! The sampler came with 4 sauces and the wings were plump, hot, and spicy. Split between 2 people, there was excess food. Great beer selection as well! read more

Backstreets Pub & Grill - Appetizer sampler, 12 wings, beer - Pubs Near Me - Clemson, South Carolina

If was not for the other patrons this place would suck! Cheap drinks is all thats good for this place. Service was so bad they totally forgot about us till we grabbed someone! Pass next time! read more

Backstreets is the best bar in Clemson. The deals can't be beat. The wait staff is nothing but great. This is the most underrated bar in Clemson. $7 mini litchers can't be beat. That's the equivalent of 3 drinks for $7. Name any Clemson bar, ANY bar, that can match that. That's their EVERYDAY price. I want a Backstreets merch line. read more

Horrible service. The staff was rude. The wings tasted like cardboard and the drinks were pretty light on alcohol.

It's a bummer that 5 is the maximum number of stars that I can give. I would give a hundred if I could. I love Backstreets so much I wanna give them a kiss on the mouth. Everything here is amazing from the food (doobie wrap ) to the rumple shots. read more

Great wings, great service, great people. I was doing a college visit in Clemson with my son. We ended up in Backstreets on a Friday (non Football weekend) night. Spent time on the outside deck talking college and chatted with our server who is a Clemson grad. No one could have been nicer. The wings were big, juicy and great. Ended up teaching my son to throw darts. Overall a very welcoming pub, and I will be back as my Clemson "go to". read more

My wife and I were looking for some Pub Grub on a recent business trip to Clemson. A friend that lives in the area mentioned Backstreets, so we all went there for dinner. Staying with the Pub Grub theme, we decided on two pizzas for our group. The wait staff was unknowledgeable, inattentive and slow. When the pizzas arrived they looked OK, but tasted like the ingredients were aged (not in a good way). I asked if the food was cooked fully, and again the wait staff was of no help, in fact, they sent over the owner. The guy who said he was the owner acted in an unprofessional manner. This is probably why the staff that works their is unable to give good service. We also needed a few beers to wash down this poorly-made/cooked pizza, but their beer selection was lacking. Not really sure how they stay in business (college crowd). I wouldn't waste my time or money there unless you have no taste buds and don't need a good beer selection. read more

Food was mediocre and the service was awful. Don't waste your money or time at this place.

If I could give less than one star, I would. Consider this your warning. The staff is rude, food is bad and service is lacking.

Visited Clemson as part of a school visit for my daughter. Wandered past this place and liked the name/thought it looked like a good place to try. The beer was cold and it showed up fairly quickly. The meal took forever and the quality of the food was pretty meh.... If I were interested in just beer - the place would probably would work out. For food - the place is a no go. read more

Honestly some of the best food DT Burger kicks ass, Club same, wings amazing personally downstairs is better read more

Backstreets is one of the best bars in downtown Clemson. Although it lacks a dance floor they still play upbeat music with a great variety. They have an excellent selection of mixed drinks that you can order by the glass or in a pitcher for a fair price. The staff is friendly and their are substantial places to sit. If you are looking to catchup with friends or just unwind at the bar this is a solid choice. Keep up the good work! read more

Good bar food. Nothing is a wrong order here: burgers, bbq, sandwiches are all good. Also an interesting place in general. Every time you go you discover a new item on the ceiling or wall that you didn't notice before. The decorating is fun. read more

I was extremely disappointed with the staff at backstreets. It truly made me lose hope in humanity and the kind people that I know are in Clemson, SC. There was a group of men that were very disrespectful to a friend and myself. We were nicely waiting under the awning, where another employee said that we could wait for a ride. Then this group of men came up and told us to go sit in the rain and that they didn't care what happened to us all the while raising their voices at us while we were trying to explain that an employee said we could wait. It was extremely rude, and I was very disappointed, especially after the reputation that Clemson has of nice, small town people. Do not waste your time or money in a place that allows their employees to act this way. read more

Only reason I give one star is because the bartenders are amazing, so nice, and drink are fabulous. Anyway I came here as an Alumni with my family. We decided to go here to get a drink. The bouncer was nice (so we thought) and we gave him a cigarette because he was complaining he was out. My cousin was being funny and pretended to pick up the wooden statue by the front. Out of nowhere the same bouncer (curly hair, short) picks up my cousin, no warning at all, and throws him through the doors and he lands face first on the concrete. There was never a warning and he was not harming anyone at all. This was super disappointing from this bar. We came for a family outing and this is what we get? My cousin went home that night with blood and cuts all down his arms from this bouncer aggression. It was clear the aggression was coming from somewhere else because the response was not appropriate to the situation. A nice, hey can you not do that or we're gonna have to ask you to leave would have sufficed. We said the other bouncer "Are you serious, was that necessary?" , to where he turned a blind eye because what could he do. Love Clemson, love downtown, but will never take my family or friends here again. Not a reflection of the bar itself, just the overly aggressive bouncer. read more

So I'm more reviewing this as a place to have lunch. I ordered a sandwich with trim and some tots. For the price the portion was large. Service was effective. Overall. This is a dive. If that's not your scene this won't be a good choice. read more

I had a black angus burger and beer. I didn't particularly enjoy the burger. Too charred for my liking. But some people like that. My fries were fried too hard. But again some people might enjoy it that way. My beer was really flat for a draft on tap. I just can't justify the $ I spent here. But I can share my experience to benefit those who are unsure about this place before trying it. read more

6/10/2015 Slow service. Something wrong with the hamburger meat - tasted strange - could not eat it. Beer mug was not clean - looked like it had cleaning spots on the inside. Just paid and left. read more

A cool, eclectic spot with lots of character. They have the best wings in Clemson. Their tots are pretty killer with some queso and their grilled chicken salad is one of the best I've ever had. Great beer selection and their mini litchers are a DEAL. read more

I love Backstreets! It's my favorite bar in Clemson. They have a delicious menu as well. Plenty of beer on tap and great mixed drinks too!

One of the best beer selections for a bar in Clemson. The service is just absolutely horrible. The bouncers treat you like you are undergraduate trying to skip out on your check. They do have pretty good specials during the week, but the service is just too slow to deal with it. Definitely for the minus-20 crowd. read more

Ate there last year while in town for the Carolina Clemson football game and had a problem. When I asked for the manager/owner, the person that came out was way beyond just being rude to me. The food was horrible and I wont' ever go back, but it appears that since he has expressed his constitutional right to run himself out of business, I won't get the chance to go back next year when I'm in town. Maybe when he lands in his new job turning fries as McDonald's, he'll learn a little business savy and a little something about customer service. read more

The wings here are really good and the drinks are decent. Patio is actually pretty nice on a sunny day. The service is pretty quick too!

Had a burger. Looked good except for the hair in the burger and wilted brown lettuce. I asked for another burger and was told there was nothing wrong with it and wouldn't get me another. At that point we got up and walked out. Judging from the cleanliness of the place I really believe they think there was nothing wrong with the burger. Never again. read more

The staff refused to put the game on that we wanted to watch. And also the wings were really bad. I got teriyaki, and it was like they just poured a bottle of sauce over over-cooked wings (there was a puddle under my wings). I wish I'd picked anywhere else to eat and get beer before the game. read more

Horrible! I'll never go back! Food was horrible & servers were rude & lazy. Don't know how they stay open. There are plenty of places, all of which are better than this one. read more

I've had the pleasure of meeting some very nice people at Backstreet, great atmosphere, great food.

Terrible place. Food was inedible. Beers were warm. And service was the worst part. Need I say more...? Plenty of better places to visit in Clemson. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.... read more

Place was horrible, the staff was rude and slow. I could get better wings from a low calorie frozen dinner. I don't understand how this place is still getting good reviews or still in business. I would give it no stars but I needed to express how awful this dump is. read more

Food was mediocre at best and service was bad. It's hard to make a burger and fries that lackluster. Really no reason to eat here.

Wow, one of the worst bars I've ever been to. The clientele and staff were all extremely rude. I ordered a beer and a burger and the bar tender took ten minutes to pour my beer and the food never came. I left $5 on the bar and walked out. If i could give this dump 0 stars, I would. read more

Typical college bar. Was recommended by a local hotel to have good for and a good beer selection. My co-workers and I went there after work. The place was not busy for a Monday. Appetizers were OK at best, a little over cooked for a sampler and onion rings. We ordered some wings and some of them came out cold. Not under cooked, just cold. Like something a college kid would eat for breakfast. Not a good experience for the reviews and recommendations that we heard. Just disappointed all around. read more

Went for the first time about two weeks ago for their Wednesday night wings and beer special. $6.75 a dozen and $5 yuengling pitchers with a good variety of flavor choices. Can't go wrong there. Typical college bar atmosphere. Wings are the best in Clemson in my opinion. Definitely recommend it especially for a Wednesday night. I will be making a return visit in the near future! read more
