President John F. Kennedy signed legislation in May 1962 allowing liquor to be sold to patrons standing up.

When B&J lost its lease after one too many brawls occurred there, Davidson rented the two front rooms of the building and established Clyde's there.

[1] Georgetown University student John Laytham began working at Clyde's as a busboy six months after it opened.

[3] The 1976 hit song "Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band was inspired by the spicy happy hour menu at Clyde's of Georgetown.

[5] These restaurants underwent a significant renovation from 2016 to 2018, and F. Scott's was closed, becoming a new bar and lounge area for 1789.

These include The Tomato Palace (1993), which opened next door to the Clyde's location in Columbia; Tower Oaks Lodge in the Tower Oaks development of Rockville, Maryland (2002); Clyde's Willow Creek Farm in Broadlands, Virginia (2006); and The Hamilton in Washington, D.C.

[8] The Van Metre Companies, developer of the Broadlands mixed-use planned community, provided the same package of rent-free land and no-cost infrastructure to allow the construction of Clyde's Willow Creek Farm.

[10][11] On July 4, 2017, Clyde's Restaurant Group closed The Tomato Palace,[12] and repurposed the 4,600-square-foot (430 m2) space into a music venue called The Soundry, which opened on June 1, 2018.

[16] In May 2023, Clyde's purchased Rye Street Tavern, a two-story, 12,000-square-foot (1,100 m2) waterfront restaurant in South Baltimore's Port Covington neighborhood that opened in 2017 and closed in 2021, from Andrew Carmellini's NoHo Hospitality.
