Keeping his ever-growing expansion of the Kush restaurant brand, restaurateur Matthew “Kush’’ Kuscher has partnered up with Jesta Hotels & Resorts to take over the food and beverage program at the tourist-loved Clevelander South Beach Hotel & Bar. This opening marks the eighth restaurant for the local restaurant group, including outposts like LoKal, Kush, Spillover, and Vicky’s House.
The property star is the now-open Kush at the Clevelander — a sports bar-style restaurant taking over the former Games on Sports bar space behind the hotel’s infamous pool. In true Kush sports bar fashion, the restaurant features plenty of televisions for game day watching, a variety of eccentric, Miami-inspired sports memorabilia, and plenty of pop culture references found throughout the space.
