The report about


Jan 18, 2018, 6:29 PM

Tigertown Tavern reminded me of something you youngster will find hard to believe. When I was a student at Clemson there was ONE place downtown where a beer could be bought. All others had to be visited by car! That one place was called Nick the Greeks (I think) and rarely was there more than a few guys in there. I never saw a coed in the place... and I visited it frequently! Things have really changed, and most for the better.

The Esso club was a gas station and garage and I think they sold beer but I’m not sure.

Buddy Royal had his regular spot on a stool at the counter. Good times, good memories.

Looks like they had a minor fire due to some power issues. The tweet's I saw seemed like it wasn't a big deal. I thought I might have to take one more trip back to Mecca for a minute.

Lamar's and Red Carpet was the same place correct?

Lamars and Red Carpet were NOT the same place


Jan 19, 2018, 7:36 AM

Lamars was out on 123 and Red Carpet was half of what is now Tiger Town Tavern (Triple T to those of us who haunt the geriatric corner there)

I worked at the Tiger Den from about 78 to 81. This was when Bobby ran the place. Slug bartended there then too. And some youngster JC. :)

Very good times. When the Den was shut down, I got one of the leaded glass sidelights to the downstairs fireplace. It is now hanging on my Clemson wall in the "man cave".

In the 68-72 time frame, I only remember Red Carpet & Tiger

Den. Hung out a few times in the mid-70s and there was a pretty good sized place out on the north side of town, had a dance floor, can't remember the name though. There was also the old former grocery store on North Main, that I think was officially named "The Grocery."
