P.J. Clarke's
Mad Men's Favorite Old-School Manhattan Watering Hole

This Third Avenue institution has been serving up classic American fare and stiff drinks since 1884, and it's exactly the kind of timeless New York joint where Don Draper would feel right at home. The mahogany bar, checkered floor tiles, and that unmistakable old-school atmosphere have made P.J. Clarke's a filming favorite for Mad Men and countless other productions trying to capture authentic NYC charm. Step inside and you're transported to a New York that feels both vintage and eternal – the kind of place where Wall Street types still belly up to the bar for a proper burger and a bourbon.
Tip
Grab a seat at the original mahogany bar if you can – it's where all the real action happens and you'll get the full authentic experience that made this place a Mad Men backdrop.
