After several years in the works, American and Caribbean eatery Clutch Restaurant will open this weekend in Brookhaven.

Located at 1860 Corporate Blvd NE, Clutch will debut July 9 with an opening night performance from R&B group Jagged Edge. The building was formerly home to neighborhood bar Montie’s Public House.

The restaurant, which was originally supposed to open in 2018 but was set back due to licensing issues and the pandemic, is owned by Lemont Bradley, who also owns car wash/eatery combos Auto Spa Bistro and Eco Car Spa.

Auto Spa Bistro, which opened in 2011 on 14th Street in Midtown, has attracted big names including Julio Jones and Shaquille O’Neal, and rappers Jermaine Dupri, T.I., Lil Baby and Polow da Don.

The menu will include options such as smothered porkchops, cowboy steaks, lamb chops and macaroni and cheese, alongside Caribbean items such as jerk chicken and rasta pasta.

Clutch plans to promote theme nights each weekday, such as Meatless Mondays, Taco Tuesdays and Comedy Nights on Wednesday.
