DETROIT – Detroit’s Rattlesnake Club restaurant has closed its doors for good after 36 years in business.
“We are grateful for the support of our loyal customers over the years. We are especially grateful for the loyal service of our dedicated employees,” Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Mark Tuttle said in a statement.
The restaurant opened in 1988. Tuttle said the business was unable to recover after the COVID pandemic.
“Changing dining habits, office occupancy and traffic patterns have negatively impacted revenue since the COVID pandemic. Private events, which have always been a mainstay of the business, have not recovered,” Tuttle said.
Tuttle said employees were notified of the closure on Saturday, June 29, and were offered severance pay.
“After 36 years, Rattlesnake Club Restaurant will be closing its doors permanently after June 28. We are grateful for the support of our loyal customers over the years. Above all, we are grateful for the loyal service of our dedicated employees. These seasoned professionals’ focus on producing the best food and exceptional customer service has helped maintain the restaurant’s reputation for many years since its opening in 1988. Changing dining habits, office occupancy and traffic patterns have negatively impacted revenues since the COVID pandemic. Private events, which have always been a mainstay of the business, have not recovered. Employees were notified today (June 29, 2024) of the closure and have been offered a severance package.
