This two-story Grand Victorian saloon greets you with a breath-taking staircase and a palatial, museum-like experience complete with sporting sculpture, collectible prints and original works of art featuring sports legends and Washington’s own storied history.

Establishing relationships with local farmers, Clyde’s Restaurant Group was farm-to-table before it was a term. Not only does this provide fresher ingredients for our chefs and guests, but we consider it part of our ongoing collaboration with the local economy to design dining experiences that support the region’s growth. Our chefs proudly support local watermen of the nearby Chesapeake Bay and other east coast fisheries. Our seasonal menus showcase the true “bounty of the sea.” In addition to our local, farm-grown produce and seafood, we proudly serve Linz Hertitage Angus, Keystone Farms Chicken, and Leidy’s Premium Duroc Pork. Thank you for considering Clyde’s of Gallery Place for your upcoming event. Our sincere belief is that great dining begins with fresh ingredients, friendly people, and an unforgettable atmosphere.
