A new restaurant is on its way to Brookline, and it will be replacing a dining spot that has been around for about five years.
According to an article from The Brookline News, Clementine is planning to open in the space in Brookline Village where The Garrison House currently resides, with Mathew Freid (who was behind the now-closed Idle Hour in Quincy) being the owner. Very little is known about the upcoming place other than the fact that it plans to have seating for 128 inside and 32 outside and that it hopes to be open until 1:00 AM on weekends; more should be known soon (a hearing on the plans is slated for today), so stay tuned for updates.
The Garrison House debuted in late 2021, replacing Magnolia Smokehouse; Hawkeye Hospitality (Elm Street Taproom, Five Horses Tavern, The Chester Tavern) is behind the spot, which is known in part for its classic American fare and pub food.
The address for the upcoming Clementine (and Garrison House) is 6 Harvard Square, Brookline, MA, 02445.
