The Five O'Clock Club of Philadelphia was a social dining club founded by a group of prominent Philadelphia business and government leaders in 1883. With 35 members, the club had no building of its own, but organized dinners, banquets, and other entertainments at other clubs and hotels in Philadelphia. While the club was created by newspaper men, among its members were local Republican politicians, including Philadelphia Mayor Charles F. Warwick, Philadelphia Mayor and US Congressman J. Hampton Moore, Pennsylvania Attorney General Francis Shunk Brown, Pennsylvania Attorney General F. Carroll Brewster, Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice William I. Schaffer, US Congressman Robert H. Foerderer, and US Senator Joseph R. Grundy.

Foerderer, and US Senator Joseph R. Grundy. In its early days, the club met on the second Saturday of each month, taking the summer months off. The Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, the Manufacturers' Club and the Union League of Philadelphia were frequently the scene of Five O'Clock Club meetings. The club was the successor of the short-lived Thursday Club and was launched within days of the folding of that club, and was a main competitor to the similarly organized Clover Club of Philadelphia, which survived the Five O'Clock Club. The Five O'Clock Club was dissolved in 1937. (en)
