I want to do my brakes and clutch tomorrow, but Honda Parts will be closed. Is there another good brake fluid that I can by at local parts store?

Honda brake fluid is not exactly special. There is no need to specifically use it. Go get any DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.

If you track the car, you might want to use a high boiling point fluid like the ATE product. However, if yours is a daily driver like mine, I've have good success with Valvoline Synpower DOT 4 fluid.
Keep in mind that generally speaking, the higher the boiling point the more hydrophyllic the fluid tends to be, so must be changed more frequently. Track cars benefit from such fluid but need more changes.
