Learn more about our one-of-a-kind private dining spaces by reading on. Georgetown in the 1960s was a far cry from the thriving center of upscale shopping and tourism that it has become today. Putting a dapper Harvard grad in the same bar as some burly bikers on M Street may seem unlikely, but that's exactly what happened when the young Stuart Davidson decided Georgetown needed its own neighborhood saloon. Upon leasing the two-room B&J Restaurant, he would rename it after the Scottish river Clyde, and transform it into a gathering place for diners and cocktail drinkers who, like himself, "would rather eat in a saloon than drink in a restaurant." With its own bar and private indoor balcony, the Piedmont Room is located in the Chinatown/Penn Quarter, one of Washington's most vibrant neighborhoods. The room is decorated in the style of a country farmhouse, complete with a large bronze horse, sterling silver trophies, and chandeliers.
