Kush Hospitality brings its Award-Winning Cuisine to the Clevelander

Kush Hospitality Group — owned and operated by restaurateur Matthew “Kush” Kuscher — has been wowing diners and imbibers for over a decade with a varied portfolio of lively, fun, and whimsical concepts. The Kush family of restaurants – such as Coconut Grove’s trendsetting LoKal and the current incarnation of Tobacco Road (by Kush), among others – is entering the hotel industry in a big way. Kuscher is proud to announce that he is partnering with Jesta Hotels & Resorts and taking over the food program of the world-famous Clevelander South Beach Hotel & Bar. Details are forthcoming, but as with the previous Kush concepts, guests can expect the type of one-of-a-kind dining and drinking experience that has affirmed KHG’s reputation. The sports bar is slated to open by September 1, 2022, just in time for football season.

Built in 1938 and comprehensively renovated in 2009, Clevelander South Beach is an iconic hotel on Ocean Drive in the heart of the Art Deco District. With more than 80 years of history, the Clevelander has transformed to include something for everyone at its unique venues, including the Pool+Patio, C-Level Rooftop Terrace, and SPF4 Sun Deck. The hotel offers an ongoing schedule of weekly themed parties, including Rockstar Karaoke on Monday, Noche Caliente on Thursday, and its famous weekend Play Pool Party.
