PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Clayton’s The Libertine serves up New American cuisine across a menu of appetizers, sharing plates, and large individual dishes, studded with standouts like pork belly on a bed of kimchi grits and slow-roasted bison and marrow bones. The exposed brick walls and sidewalk seating imbue the Libertine experience with a sense of sophistication, but this doesn’t mean you should be afraid to dig into the finger foods on the menu as they’re meant to be ingested: messily and zealously. Enjoy the double diner burger, which is slippery with white cheddar cheese whiz with house-made bacon. The Libertine is worth the grease stain on your button-down.
