Strange and amazing, unlikely and enviable, the life of Alexander Hamilton could be a blueprint for the evolution of Washington, DC. This is a man who started off an orphan and ended up a lawyer, banker and founding father before dying famously in a duel with the Vice President of the United States. First built to house the federal government, DC is now a city where polish and sophistication have been charmed by a bohemian spirit yielding a new, thriving, artistic underground. Located just two blocks from the White House, the District's newest destination for envelope-pushing, visionary music and talent defies convention, much like Hamilton himself.
About Clyde’s Restaurant Group
It’s one thing to open a restaurant in Washington, it’s another to grow a single concept into fourteen successful properties. Clyde’s Restaurant Group is a family of dining experiences, each distinctively different than the next, but all sharing the same reputation for consistent service and a fresh, delicious menu. Each of our concepts proudly serves local produce and features a signature burger made with only grass-fed, locally-raised beef. It’s how we continue to invest in the region we love and the customers we continue to surprise.
