What's it called......Friar's Tavern?

Everyone has heard of Fiesta Grill... I mean Flip Flops... actually, I think its now called Friar's Tavern. In the three years I've been a part of the Clemson community, the stucco party bar has gone through some intense make-overs; none of these which seem to help it stay in business any longer than the last.

Regardless of the name, the establishment has always been prime real estate for college partying tailgaters during football season. The drink menu closely resembles that of any other higher education watering hole with one exception, the Jet Fuel. Invented sometime prior to the current owners, Jet Fuel is a smoothly mixed ice slushy containing only three ingredients: one part ice, one part orange concentrate mix, and one part Everclear. The combined concoction could give Charlie Sean a buzz --- a perfect house drink for patrons looking for a quick gameday fix.

The food menu spans more ground that Epcot does cultures. All in all from what I've seen Friar's is a jack of all trades when it comes to edibles and an ace of none. Regardless, for the gameday munchies, mixed with a little Jet-Fuel, the food might just taste as good as any.

All in all if you're looking for a party hearty kind of time, a fitting atmostphere, and enough chips, salsa, and cheese sticks to get you by ---- Friar's is the place for you. Anything else and you better keep walking, the Esso is down the street.
