A second spinoff of P.J. Clarke's opened in Lincoln Park in late 2007. The first floor barroom mirrors the vintage look of the original with red-checkered tablecloths and a woody bar, but owner Jonathan Segal (who also owns Minnies and is a partner in Japonais and Le Colonial) has created a very different look for the second floor restaurant. The whimsical-meets-kitschy retro-inspired supper club theme features bold red stripes, custom-made trellises, white plank wood flooring, and 1920s-30s inspired artifacts and furnishings. The menu features comfort food faves from the original P.J.'s like the meatloaf dinner, hot turkey sandwich and chicken pot pie, plus there’s slow-roasted lamb and pork cooked in an exhibition rotisserie kitchen.
