We sat at the bar for brunch, which was delicious. Music was on point with a live atmosphere. The only problem is that the service sucks. As we were placing our, she rudely walked away and began clearing another area of the bar (not too far but not close enough to here us either). Once she was done cleaning, she resumed taking our order. From there, we had to keep flagging our bartender/waitress down. If gratuity wasn't already included, she would not have received a damn cent from me.
Went here for lunch, but instead, they had brunch & and on a Friday. That was cool. I had their brunch burger served with an egg & was very good. My wifey ordered the avocado toast and also topped with an egg. Our drinks were the michelada & my wife had the "Just in Time". Our friends had a peach crown mixer. All the food & drinks were good. We did have a little confusion with the whole brunch thing. They weren't serving from their lunch menu items at that time (12pm) during "brunch". They said they don't start serving from their lunch until about 2 or 4. Idk... so we didn't get to try anything from their lunch items, which looked good. Oh well, I think they should've just called it something different other than brunch. Just my 2 cents. The only other issue that bothered me was the loud music. It was good music, but it was so loud that I had to yell just to talk. We couldn't even hear the waitress. And I don't recommend taking your kids their at that time cause the music is explicit. All though I think it's cool they have a live DJ playing.
Mayne.... I love the Breakfast Board concept. The wings are crunchy yet still juicy, and the waffles are thick with a slight crisp. I didn't want to do the Advocado Toast, but I did. It happened. Haha. Soooo worth it, especially with a side of bacon. (Yeah...yeah... ignore how I took a healthy meal into what I WANTED IT TO BE. Move around. :-)...).
Service....pshhh... it's busy but the entire team from morning to evening shift was on point, present, and knowledgeable. Bar was quick with drinks. Hennessy Side Car and Espressso Martini were both great. Destiny and CeCe (sp??) Were great, especially during the shift change. They split tips, so if possible, pay and tip in cash so they leave with bread in their pockets.
Owner...or GM (IDK) moved around, kept a vibe and checked on his staff from servers, bar, security, and bussers. Shared the love with everyone. (IYKYK)
Atmosphere: If you're unhappy, then you just don't love life. (I said it...). Music alone is at a volume that keeps the crowd engaged and moving. DJ was on point with the best list. The snare drummer walks around and engages the guests, allows them to try thier best to play along and is on point with the DJ. Sheesh!!! Took everything in me not to ask for the sticks. Lolol.
As you can tell, I can't say enough about Clutch. But I will 'cause I need to try the hookah (and to get in that snare :-z). I was told it was only $40 for the hookah and had a variety of flavors by a guest seated next to us. Let me stop now. I have much love to you and the culture you brought to the Heights area. <3 Aurora.
JK... Not done.... I should have read previous reviews because I was shocked to see an average of 3.5 stars.
Firstly. Racist/Colorist was not on display at ANY point during the 3 hours we were there. It's unfortunate to hear that people felt that way, but we will never know the whole story.
Jordans not being allowed... lies. So many people were in Js and they dressed their color ways to perfection. I will say, I did not see a single person dressed down. And I wouldn't come casual for an exceptional establishment like Clutch. The staff does not show up looking lazy, so don't do them a disservice by not coming to have a good time and feeling your best. Simple.
