The well-known P.J. Clarke’s has brought a piece of New York to Las Vegas. The original watering hole was founded in 1884, and the Vegas version is its first location in the West. The centerpiece is the majestic mahogany 'Phoenix' bar that was imported from the Rothschild’s estate in Bordeaux. The décor is enhanced by hardwood floors, red checkered tablecloths, and a mix of nostalgic old photos of vintage Vegas and those of celebrities that have dined at P.J. Clarke’s. A good starter is the crisp Parmesan tater tots, reminiscent of deep-fried mashed potato. Not to be missed is the Patrick Joseph Clarke’s chili, bolstered with huge sirloin chunks and fully loaded with sour cream, white cheddar and red onions. P.J. Clarke’s is famous for its burgers, but we also like the dry-aged New York steak, accompanied with a choice of five sauces. Finish with the warm bread pudding, accented with cherries and served with a side of bourbon cream sauce. Old-school bartenders serve classic cocktails along with more than 20 beers.
