Legends was another bar known to Clemson students in the late 1980s. By name alone, it hinted at a venue celebrating greats of the past, and it became a popular hangout as the decade drew to a close. While detailed documentation on Legends is scarce, alumni often include it in lists of beloved ’80s spots, suggesting it had a loyal following. Like many college bars of the era – especially after South Carolina raised the legal drinking age to 21 by 1986clemsonwiki.com – Legends eventually closed its doors. It remains, however, part of the oral history of Clemson nightlife, remembered as a place where the last generation of 1980s students made some of their own legendary memories.
