About this venue

Editor's Take: P.J. Clarke’s brings the spirit of a legendary New York institution to the heart of Washington, DC. Known for its 'Cadillac' of burgers and impeccable raw bar, it remains a favorite for the city's political and business elite.

We are a classic American saloon serving fresh seafood, aged steaks, and our famous burgers. Our 'Sidecar' bar offers an intimate setting for perfect martinis and fresh oysters.
