Good morning, Chattanooga!
Clever Alehouse, run by a group of college friends turned restaurant co-owners, is looking to be a community hangout in Red Bank.
“We want a place where people can stop in and enjoy a casual environment,” Jason Bowers, restaurant co-owner, said by phone. “You can eat a meal or just have a beer and meet new people.”
The friends are hoping that residents will buy into the concept through their Kickstarter, which features a lifetime mug club, and have plans to work with local nonprofits.
“Chattanooga can be small, and you run into the same people, so I’m excited to meet new people that I haven’t run into,” Nelson Taylor, restaurant co-owner, said.
Here, learn more about the upcoming business and the three friends who run it.
