Raise a glass to America’s 250th birthday! To celebrate, Clyde’s Restaurant Group, a DC institution since 1963, has released a limited-edition merch collection — and once they’re gone, they’re gone. A donkey and an elephant, dressed to the nines in red, white, and blue, clinking glasses across the table. Because at Clyde’s, the bar has always been common ground.

The T-Shirt ($30 or $20) Unisex tee in white, with the full illustrated back graphic and a Clyde’s 250 logo on the left chest. Available in both adult and youth sizes.

The Hat  ($25) Embroidered Clyde’s 250 logo cap. Choose your colorway: white with navy thread, or navy with red thread. Structured fit with an adjustable back strap.

Grab a hat and receive $5 off an adult tee. Discount applied automatically at checkout.

Since 1963, Clyde’s Restaurant Group has been a staple in the Washington dining scene. What started as a single bar on M Street is now a family of over a dozen distinctive properties across DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia including Old Ebbitt Grill, The Hamilton, Rye Street Tavern, Cordelia Fishbar, 1789 Restaurant, The Tombs, Fitzgerald’s, and six Clyde’s locations. Each has its own personality while all share the same commitment to warm, polished hospitality. With Ebbitt House opening soon in Reston, the story keeps going.


Event

Bring the whole family for an evening of food, music, and unbeatable views. Avoid the crowds of the National Mall and give back to your community veterans. Grab a bite from a stacked lineup of local favorites — Capt. Cookie, The Hitching Post, Kona Ice, Timber Pizza, Rocklands BBQ, Tender Rib, Tea Love Boba, and City-State Beer.
