ABOUT US
WHERE YOU START IS ONLY THE BEGINNING… Clyde’s Restaurant Group (CRG), a family of 12 distinctive restaurants and bars, we believe it is more fun to eat in a saloon than to drink in a restaurant. Our menus are rapidly changing, driven by local and fresh ingredients. Clyde's began sourcing locally 30 years before farm-to-table was a phrase people understood. Our beverage program is a model for the saloon business with evolving offerings of liquor, beer, and wines selected by an active committee of managers and employees. CRG was recently recognized by The Washington Post as one of the top 150 places to work in DC based on an employee feedback survey. We pride ourselves on delivering great service and value to our guests in a fun and welcoming atmosphere. We are looking for outstanding people who share our commitment to hospitality and strive to be an integral part of an extraordinary dining experience.
