FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA21) - Less than a year after Fort Wayne's renovated music venue opened its doors, The Club Room at The Clyde is expanding.

The Quimby Village venue has begun construction to double the capacity for dining and special events.

The restaurant, bar and live music venue on the city's south side will expand into the existing alley and into the adjacent building to the east.

A small patio is also slated in the project.

Along with more seating and a larger stage area, the new facility will also include the new Crescendo Coffee & More, featuring coffee from locally-owned Utopian Coffee and using the locally-designed Modbar coffee delivery system.

Owners Chuck and Lisa Surack said The Club Room will remain open during construction.

“We are thrilled with how the community has embraced The Club Room in the past year and made it a destination for outstanding food and live, local music. There’s no other place like it in Fort Wayne,” Surack said.

“This project reinforces our commitment to redevelopment in the area.”

It will open this summer.
