Review:
The Esso Club is a sports bar frequented by fans of the Clemson University Tigers. The Esso Club began as a small gas station in 1933, over the years the site expanded, and by 1952 there was a bar at the service station. It remained the only place in Clemson to sit and drink a beer until 1958. In 1972, a tenant began cooking BBQ in the station’s back yard. The site began to expand, and several renovations and owners later, stopped serving gas in the 1980’s. Today, the Esso Club is still the place to go for drinks and live music on football game days. The bar has garnered national attention and is frequently listed among the top college sports bars in the United States. Walls at the bar are covered with Clemson football photographs and artifacts, many of them signed.
