Loose Change

When Loose Change first opened its doors in the beginning of 2005 its popularity was somewhat lacking. For a southern college town, the atmosphere simply didn't fit and the amount of business being driven through the doors reflected this misfit bar's lagging reputation. Originally done up as an artsy/cafe sort of establishment, management soon came to realize such was not the popular choice for Clemson.

After a quick revamp of its image, Loose Change rapidly became a popular hot spot for locals and college kids alike.

Although first impressions after walking through the door would suggest that the focus in solely on drink, don't be fooled. The kitchen staff offers a wide variety of very reasonably priced tasty delectables. Anytime from 4pm to 10pm patrons can indulge in everything from MexTex styled finger foods to Wings and full blown southern burgers.

Saturday night marks the weekly acoustic country music covers and  its never uncommon the find the joint packed with members of the community from all walks of life.

At this point in time I'd like to take a moment to give a shout out to a good friend and Fraternity brother of mine, Trey Hemphil. Trey is a very recognizable bartender and patron of Loose Change. It also happens that he is a member of the class that dictated the origin of this blog, so it is only fitting that he be dually noted.

Next time you're looking to start your evening early with the combination of good drink and economical food, head to Loose with that spare 'change' and ask for Trey.
