Cactus Club Cafe confirmed two new U.S. flagships set to open in 2027: Uptown Houston and Miami South Beach. Following recent successful openings in Boston’s Back Bay and Downtown Miami, these locations mark the brand’s entry into Texas and its second restaurant in Miami, accelerating its position as one of North America’s fastest-growing restaurant collections.
Cactus is elevated everyday dining, creating a sense of occasion, even when there isn’t one. The vibe is upbeat, stylish, and polished, not pretentious–fueled by energetic music, great people, and spaces that feel as good as they look. Their chef-driven menu delivers bold, refined dishes with something for every craving. Fresh yet familiar, it’s easy to love and easy to come back to. The menu is helmed by Executive Chef Greg McCallum and the Test Kitchen team of culinary experts.
“Joining our team in Houston or Miami is an exciting opportunity for ambitious hospitality professionals,” said Andrew Latchford, President of Cactus Club Cafe. “As we expand into these new markets, we remain committed to what defines Cactus Club Cafe: food people love, a consistently great dining experience, and a vibrant atmosphere.”
Miami South Beach
Spanning nearly 9,000 square feet, Cactus South Beach will be an anchor go-to for visitors and locals alike in South of Fifth. Completely transforming the heritage location at 850 Commerce Street, the space will seat over 200 guests across a lounge, dining room, mezzanine, and patio. Highlights include a striking floor-to-ceiling backlit wine display and a vibrant, gallery-like layout anchored by artwork from acclaimed artists Daniel Mazzone and Giovanni DeCunto.
Both locations are designed by Jeffrey Beers International, with architecture by Bergmeyer Architecture and lighting design by Think L and Ian Marsh Lighting.
Houston Uptown
Spanning two levels, nearly 12,900 square feet, and 345 seats, Houston Uptown will be Cactus’ largest U.S. location. The design features a dedicated lounge, dining room, patio, and a two-story entrance tree. Artwork curated specifically for Texas includes a custom mural by Taylor Smith, Western-inspired pop art, and pieces by Giovanni DeCunto.
Hiring is officially underway for Houston Uptown. With nearly 40 years of experience advancing hospitality careers, Cactus provides long-term growth and leadership opportunities. Candidates can apply online or attend the Houston career fair on Dec. 1 and 2 at cactusclubcafe.com/hiring/united-states/.
