Nicks Bar in Clemson

I absolutely liked their food and service, good location nearby to my home. The workers are always very nice. Highly recommended.

Friendly neighborhood bar with pub food, some craft beers and the best damn people in town. Like Cheers, but in Clemson.

Great beer and wine selections with a cozy small town bar atmosphere

Had a fine time. Enjoyed the bartenders a lot. The food was tasty, beer cold and the music good too.

Used to be my favorite place but they decided to stop serving pitchers. Hopefully they will go back to the old system

Happy, knowledgeable bartender and staff, tasty beer, a nice place for college kids to deal with their drunk friend or end the night, or for older people to hang out

Great beer selection and the food is pretty good. Tends to have a more sophisticated crowd, like professors instead of more brats

Super great experience and accepting of all kinds of people!

Definitely worth the stop! Nicks is absolutely delicious! Great variety of beers and the best fried mushrooms

If you love a bar atmosphere in the old time sense, you'll love Nick's. Full of beer memorabilia. Seating is limited, food menu is quirky, but beer selection is varied and has good representation of local and national breweries. Be sure to meet Ken, and ask him about Clemson baseball. You can find him behind the bar unless there's a game going on.

Best little bar in Clemson!!!

great place to hang out

Finest beer selection in town. Great food. Pleasant bartenders. Good vibe. Only bar in Clemson I can tolerate.

Definitely the best bar in the area! Friendly staff, great atmosphere, and a great selection of beers on tap. More of an older crowd than the rest of the bars in the area, but that can be a breath of fresh air in a college town.

Just went to hang out. I did not get anything, so I cannot properly review the place. The kegs with a pad on top as seats was unusual.

Best spot to get harder-to-find brews in Clemson. Great atmosphere too.

Best bar and food in Clemson! True classic

Great place for craft beers in Clemson. A little different than the standard college bar.

A nice local bar. They have an excellent variety of beers and the staff is pleasant, friendly, and helpful. If I come back to the area would definitely go again.

If you want a laid back beer, Nicks is the place to go! They specialize in all types of beer, so in many cases you won't have the same beer unless you want it, their selection is always changing. That also have killer sandwhiches!

Quintessential college town pub ... they serve mead here too ... try it!

An institution. Great selection of rotating taps, booties and cans. Always something new that I'll enjoy. Fewest rowdy college kids you'll find in a bar in Clemson. Surprisingly good eats, try the PCB basket for a fried pile of delicious.

Lots of beer and good food too. Friendly folks

Great service great selection of beer

Hands down my favorite bar in Clemson and possibly even the Upstate. Huge selection, which is constantly changing - AWESOME! It has the old-school, traditional feel that none of the chain places can even come close to replicating yet alone exceeding.

Best place in Clemson. Beer and wine only. Great food. Amazing staff. It is the kind of place that you walk into and it has history. There is awesome stuff on every wall. It's an eclectic, low key, cozy place and the food is always made fresh. Highly recommend if you like a casual, interesting, intellectual place to hang out.

So much to look at and just the right level of dim. Also, they have mead.

Wonderful food and atmosphere

Small space but good food, good beer, and good people!

Nick's is a bar for people who want to talk and get to know their bartenders and other guests (or sit for a meeting). You sit down, order your beer (and/or food) and chat. The employees care about anyone who walks in, and will sit and chat as long as it isn't too busy. It's an escape from the loudness of downtown, while still offering a wide variety of beer. There is something for everyone at Nick's.

Great place for a small group.

Cool quiet feel. Great beer selection and bar food.

The best beer. Ask to try a few things before buying. Simply the best bar I have ever been to.

Perfect dive bar for those seeking an alternate destination in a college town. Great beer selection, music, atmosphere, and service. The food is also really good for a bar. Love the falafel.

Great spot slightly hidden. The walls are layered with local history. The beer list is a monument to fine brews. The menu prices are amazing and the food hits the spot.

It's a very nice, cozy place

Hands down best bar in Clemson! Heads up - it’s beer and wine only, so if you’re fixing on 25¢ cotton candy bubblegum vodka shots, you’re best off taking your business elsewhere. This actually works out for the best as it keeps the 21 year old children elsewhere. Awesome craft beer selection, awesome bartenders, and the best bar munchies and sandwiches downtown Clemson. Also the bathroom art is something to behold. See you at Nicks!

What can I say about Nick's? It's been around probably 3 times as long as I have and I'm pretty sure everyone who grew up or went to school here knows it. It's got a chill pub-like atmosphere that isn't found in most Clemson bars. It feels almost wholesome in a way, which is how I like to feel before I get really messed up on expensive craft beer. It's not a place to drink cheap. It's not the place to go for dancing or live music. It's the people that make it really great. It's super cozy and friendly and they have the best microwave cheeseburger in town. Seriously, the bar food here is pretty good, and while I won't say it's the best value ever, the food is truly satisfying and prepared with love by really nice people. Also, you can get Redstone mead here at liquor store prices. Everyone should try Nick's once, and then most of those people should never come back because the ones that fall in love with it need the booth space and quiet to do smart people stuff.

Great selection of beer and wine (and mead). Chill atmosphere. This place is typically the go to for faculty and grad students, but it's a good place for undergrads too (speaking from experience).

Love Nick's! Great beer selection and good bar food! Been going here for many years!

Kind of a hole in the wall place. Good selection of craft beer. The food was good for bar food. It has this old school pub feel. It was the kind of bar that would be better if it were full of cigarette smoke.

Love Nicks. Great people and good food and sandwiches.

Good Ol' Nicks. Best selection of beer in Clemson, friendly staff, not as loud as most of the other Clemson Bars.

Best bar in Clemson, hands down. If you are trying to avoid the more unappealing aspects of a college bar and are looking for a good selection of beer, wine, and bar food nothing is better.

Best bar for grad students. No frills, no thrills. Just as great neighborhood bar.

Overall a good bar with a good craft beer selection. The crowd isn't as pretentious as it used to be, but that aspect still lingers. Some bartenders also don't act like they care, they'll never check on you even if the bar is not busy.

Awesome local bar with a good selection of craft beers.

Surprisingly delicious food, especially for a college town bar. Great ambiance, relaxed and laid-back atmosphere, at least on slow days. I can't speak for Fri/Sat night when it's probably shoulder-to-shoulder, but on Memorial Day it was very chill. Will definitely return next time I'm in town

My favorite by far

This is the best beer garden and tap house in all of Clemson! Pretty awesome, close atmosphere, good.
