Best place for a bite downtown. Was a good balance for a visit to town as an alumnus with my college bound daughter. Food is great and the drinks are too. Staff was awesome. read more

We were visiting Clemson and happened to stroll by. It looked like a fun place. Food was good. We felt like there were plenty of options. Service was good. Looks like a dive, but I wouldn't consider it a dive at all. Would totally go back. read more

Food delicious and waitress kind. I especially loved the pub chips with amazing seasoning. I paired it with a juicy hamburger. That tasted homemade would definitely eat here again. Next time I come to Clemson. read more

We stopped by Loose Change in Clemson and ordered burgers, a veggie wrap, a club sandwich and hush puppies. The food hit the spot--solid pub grub done right. The homemade potato chips were a standout (huge bonus points for that!). The place has that perfect college-town charm: laid-back, funky, and welcoming. The bartender and staff were super friendly, and the whole vibe made it feel like the kind of local spot you'd want to become a regular at. Dan is definitely a cool dude! Definitely worth a visit if you're in town! read more

We stopped in for lunch The food was very good and reasonably priced. Everyone was very nice. I don't know that the atmosphere is appropriate for families even during lunch. I had to dodge a few questions about the decor hanging from the ceiling and in the bathroom. Having said that, I'd go again. It was delish. read more

Hamburgers are the best! Check it out you will not be disappointed. Great atmosphere, great food and friendly folks. read more

Fun place. Great dive bar. Fun bartenders. Super cheap which is great! I'd totally go back and try food. read more

Loose Change - High Noon tequila - yummy - Sports Bars Near Me - Clemson, South Carolina

Get the zucchini fries they are amazing! Can't wait to eat them again! We got them as an appetizer and I got the bird dog which was soo much food and delicious, I tried the jalapeño tater tots as my side and they were good not overly spicy. Would like to try regular fries next time. My husband got a burger and it was amazing! Puts 5 guys to shame. Dripping deliciousness. For an appetizer, one drink and two meals it was almost $40. To be expected in downtown and the quality was amazing. read more

We stopped by Loose Change late on Saturday night and as you can imagine in a college town, the bar was FULL of college kids. We were easily the oldest people in there so we stuck out like sore thumbs. A bar like this was definitely my vibe 10-12 years ago but wow, how fast time goes by! The walls are full of dollar bills which I couldn't quite figure out so I'm curious about the story behind that. From what I remember, the drinks were cheap but I cannot speak to the food. I saw someone mention spicy ranch which is right up my alley so we'll have to go earlier and try the food next time. I would say Loose Change is a great college bar but maybe hit it earlier to avoid the younger crowd. read more

Loose Change - a crowd of people in a bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Clemson, South Carolina

There were at most 6 tables at 7:00 pm on Saturday night. It took 30 minutes to receive 2 burgers. The fries were cold ( not luke warm-actually cold). They automatically charge .75 for using a card before asking if paying cash. Sneaky charges for sauce -just ask if I want to pay for sauce? Manager asked another table about their meal, but passed by us. $4 for a can of beer. $10 for double burger. Extra $1 for cheese. Another $3.75 for a side. Not a cheap dinner. read more

The staff was very friendly and the burgers were actually delicious. Don't let the fact it's a "college bar" deter you from grabbing dinner here. read more

Great college bar with excellent shrimp po boy sandwich. Great location downtown by campus.

Went here for an early dinner. Wasnt that busy but filled up quickly. Had the special which was bbq pulled pork quesadilla and wow, it was amazing! Expected just bar food, but was so much better. Small staff but handled the busy tables well. read more

My favorite place to get burgers. The staff are amazing and the place holds such a relaxed and lowkey environment. Their homemade chips are delicious as well. read more

Good people and great service. I'm far removed from college but fell in love with the college prices. A must visit again. read more

This is an unsafe business during the reopening, no staff wearing masks. People milling about the bar. Wandering around the dining area's. We were hungry after traveling all day and came because of the reviews. An unsafe place to eat, Food was good and I am sure in normal times a fun place to hang. read more

burgers are good, pickle chips are good prices kinda high, service is good for a bar nothing remarkable read more

This place is as advertised. It is a dive, and I love a good dive joint. I could spend some time here. The service is fast and pleasant. The food is off the chain. I had a chicken finger appetizer that I could have made a meal. Then got a burger with fresh cut pub chips that I couldn't stop eating. Then there's the atmosphere, did I tell you I like dives? If you don't like this place something's wrong with you! GO, EAT,DRINK & HAVE FUN read more

My daughter is a senior at Clemson and we regularly eat here. Last week, I got the Buffalo Shrimp Tacos! They were fantastic! The food has always been great! Can't go wrong here! read more

Great burgers, fired pickles and cold beer. Went to check out Clemson. Very cool dive bar and the kids were great

This place checks all the boxes for dive bar atmosphere with excellent food! The bacon cheeseburger was one of the best I've had in a long time. The beef seemed to be fresh - not frozen - and was so well seasoned it didn't need anything other than the lettuce tomato & onion that came on it, not even mayo, ketchup or mustard, it was perfect "as is". The pub chips dipped in ranch made the perfect side. My wife got the chicken quesadilla which was also excellent. The draft beer selections were great too, all craft beers. They also have domestic cans & bottles for those of you who still haven't figured out what good beer is . They have good classic rock playing but not so loud that you can't have a nice conversation. I'd come back anytime! read more

Excellent burgers and fried zucchini strips. Worth seeking out. A double of real hungry. Delicious.

I had the 1lb burger and it was fantastic! The hush puppies were also amazing. Thanks!

Great college town atmosphere food and drink dive! In the heart of downtown. Decorated in dollar bills taped to the walls with customers names written on them. You seat yourself. Service was friendly and prompt. Menu has mostly appetizers, sandwiches, salads, and tacos. We had the Shrimp Po-Boy with fries, a burger with fries, and a chicken burrito with chips and salsa. The po-boy was excellent with a spicy cajun sauce drizzled on top, the burger was actually THREE burgers, the burrito was fresh and good quality meat, and the fries were seasoned moderately spicy. Service was great at 1:30pm on a Thursday. I can see how this place could get crowded easily and service or available tables be less than ideal. read more

A classic bar in downtown Clemson. My boyfriend and I actually went on our first date here! They have good food, and we recommend getting a plate of the nachos! A fun, bar atmosphere! read more

Well...it's basically bar food and over priced for bar food. Maybe the restaurants downtown Clemson have to spend so much on rent that they skimp on quality of food read more

Great bar; great food; great peeps. Came to visit the campus. Our tour guide recommended it for lunch, and it was perfect. Great food and reasonably priced. read more

We went to loose at the senior bar crawl and we tried to get drinks from the bartender Maggie and she refused to serve us. She kept taking drink orders from guys over our heads and proceeded to take shots with them. We waited for 20 minutes until we moved to one of the other bartenders to be served. There we're two girls next to us that asked if they could order and she blatantly said "no" to their face. It was rude. Will not be returning. read more

Pregame drinks were flowing as two friends and I travelled the three and a half hours to catch the Tigers of Clemson taking on the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest. (The review is overdue by a few years) Simply put, Loose Change represents exactly the college experience I never had, and can easily admit, the one I had wished I had. Campuses and the surrounding bars in NYC do not seem to enjoy the same ease and care free enjoyment. A fun young crowd ranging from students to townies, all sporting the proud Clemson Orange. Tap beers went their way down the hatch, shots to follow approximately every fourth Bud Light served up by super cool bartenders. I'm my second life, I know where I'm going to college. read more

Ok so we are here for a campus tour with my son. And I get the bright idea to ask the tour guide - a college kid - for food advice. Great idea right? Well, this kid was SPOT ON! Loose Change was awesome. Ambiance is great. Menu alerts you that they are Clemson's only "5 star dive". I can attest. They are 5 star. Service was very good. Drinks kept full. Friendly. The burger was top 10. I got a double but they go all the way up to the "quad" 4 patties - 1lb. I got cheddar and bacon. The bacon was the thick cut stuff. A1. My son got the buffalo chicken wrap. He loved it. We also got some sides to share - hand cut fries, hand cut chips and jalapeño cheddar hush puppies. We got spicy ranch dip with each. That dip was very good. The fries are also Top 10. The chips were served cold so that was a disappointment. We were hoping they were warm. However, all in all 5 stars. We will be back. read more

Waiters are all so friendly and nice. Service is great and so is the food. One of the well known bars in clemson

Ordered a burger and fries around lunchtime on a Thursday afternoon. A quarter of my fries were burnt crisps and the burger wasn't anything to brag about. It was a bust for me, service was fine and it was slow when I went, but the food quality was comparable to a fast food chain. Not what I was expecting. read more

Extremely mid and the staff threatened me with a knife after I asked for a side of ranch

Loose Change is a great dive bar in Clemson, great for drinks and even better for food. I love their fried pickles the spicy ranch is the best! Service is as expected for a bar, but overall a great spot for any time! read more

Better be ready for your change to be loose if you go to this place. It costed me a kidney and my right hand for what?? Literally a small medium rare chicken cutlet. Don't recommend read more

We stopped here for a beer and some apps while we were in town recently. The staff was friendly and we enjoyed the apps. It was decent bar food. We had nachos, hush puppies, and fried pickles. We will come back the next time we are in town. read more

Got a single burger and fries. Overall better than the 5 guys we hAd a few days ago. My son had a couple chicken tacos and a steak taco. Great service and our food came out quick. read more

My favorite place to go while at Clemson. In fact, it is traditionally my first stop once I get into town. Best tacos I've ever had and usually friendly, efficient staff is available to serve you. read more

Awesome spot, simple food done great! Service is awesome and that's saying something in this bar / college town. Left several mediocre spots before getting and sharing several orders of tacos, quesadillas and beers at lose change. Super glad I ended up here. I save the 5th star for elite dinning experiences but on the strip in Clemson this is the spot. Thanks! read more
