P.J. Clarke’s has been serving the same things since opening back in 1884 – fresh food, frosty drinks, and great conversation. The American gastropub located across from Independence Hall offers both indoor and outdoor dining with fresh seafood, tartare, a plethora of appetizers, burgers, entrees, and classic cocktails to go with an atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve been there before. Indicative of their convivial aura, famous singer Buddy Holly once proposed to a woman he had met at P.J. Clarke’s just a few short hours before. As P.J. Clarke’s says, “Come in once, we’ll know your name. Twice, we’ll know your order. Three times, and you’re family.”
