//The line

The Infatuation calls the 140-year-old saloon 'almost always insufferably busy,' with the after-work crowd known to spill out onto the streets of Third Avenue. The site attributes the demand to the bar's enduring reputation and its famous cheeseburger.

According to The Infatuation, weekend tourist traffic adds to the difficulty of securing a seat on top of the regular after-work rush. The review notes reservations are available via Resy and are recommended given how consistently packed the room gets.

How long is the wait at P.J. Clarke's?

The Infatuation describes it as 'almost always insufferably busy,' especially after work, though it doesn't cite a specific wait time — expect a crowd most evenings.

Does P.J. Clarke's take reservations?

Yes — The Infatuation's page links directly to a Resy booking button, and recommends reserving given the venue's near-constant busyness.

Can you walk into P.J. Clarke's?

Walk-ins are possible at the bar and saloon area, but The Infatuation notes the after-work crowd spilling onto the street, so seating without a reservation can be tight during peak hours.
