Our story
A place to
settle in
Bell’s Backwater Tavern has been a steady presence on North 9th Street — a spot where the drinks are poured with care and the mood is easy. No fuss, no pretense. Just good people gathering over solid food and well-made cocktails.
Whether you're unwinding after a long week, catching up with friends, or looking for a relaxed evening out in Clinton, this is the place. We keep it simple: quality drinks, honest food, and a room that feels like home.
