K Street, the road to the White House, is also the proud home to P.J. Clarke’s — the storied American Saloon with a history that dates back to the late 1800s. The original P.J. Clarke’s in Manhattan has stood beneath rows of skyscrapers for nearly 130 years, collecting famous and infamous regulars. Appreciated for the friendly ambiance and classic fare, P.J. Clarke’s is the quintessential American Saloon. In our nation’s capitol, the story continues as oak and mosaic floors, red leather banquets and walls lined with eccentric portraits and nostalgic photos contribute to a reassuring familiarity that is classic P.J.s, but also construe a distinct Washington sensibility. Seasoned bartenders make favorite classic cocktails the right way; dexterous shuckers ply the freshest shellfish at a marble topped Raw Bar; and the old-school dining room welcomes government A-listers, students and their families, and visitors to our capitol.

Hit or miss. Their happy hours are great! Drinks at a great price and small bites that don't break the bank. Came here for lunch a couple weeks ago, and had a very sad and expensive chicken...
