Eric Cloutier

Born and raised in Montreal, Canada, Eric came to America in 1996 after signing a contract with the NHL’s Boston Bruins. After a series of injuries, Eric was sidelined from the NHL and spent four years playing for various minor league teams. Not content with his career in hockey, Eric decided to leave professional hockey and go into the hospitality industry opening several successful establishments ranging from lounges, nightclubs, restaurants, and entertainment venues over the past 20 years. His most recent success has been the 2015 opening of The Reserve in DTLA, with $4,000,000 gross in 2019 before COVID-19 closed the doors for 13 months. With the reopening in April 2021, Reserve is projected to mark $6,000,000 in gross revenue at a 40% profit margin.
