Kush Wynwood Reopens in October 2026 at 2003 N. Miami Ave. With New Cocktail Bar and Worker Housing

Kush Wynwood will reopen in October at 2003 N. Miami Ave. with its original menu favorites, a new cocktail bar, and ten income-restricted apartments for hospitality workers above the restaurant.

Kush Wynwood will reopen in October at 2003 N. Miami Ave., returning to its original address after roughly two years of renovations. The work turned the property into a mixed-use project called Kush Korner, Matt Kuscher’s restaurant group announced.

The restaurant has not announced an opening day. It will be the ground-floor anchor of a building that also includes ten studio apartments reserved for hospitality workers.

Kuscher had given earlier targets for the return. In April 2025, he said he hoped to reopen that fall. He later said he was aiming for June or July 2026. Matt Kuscher’s restaurant group now lists October as the target.

The menu brings back dishes from across Kuscher’s restaurants. The “Johnny Utah” burger is scheduled to return with corned beef, cheddar, and LoKal sauce. The “Frita by Kush” combines guava jelly, potato sticks, bacon, and Swiss cheese. The “Jewban” sandwich stacks pulled pork and corned beef on grilled rye. Reuben croquetas, alligator bites, and banana cream bread pudding are also on the announced menu.

The drink program expands beyond the craft beer that drew customers to the original Kush Wynwood in Wynwood. Matt Kuscher’s restaurant group said it plans to serve cocktails, zero-proof drinks, and a $5 happy hour. Guests will also be able to buy a beer for the kitchen staff for $2.

Upstairs, the ten studio apartments are subject to affordability requirements laid out in an Omni Community Redevelopment Agency notice. The notice sets eight units aside for households earning no more than 80 percent of the applicable area median income and two units for households earning no more than 100 percent.

Under the City of Miami’s 2026 multifamily rental limits, a one-person household can earn up to $76,300 for the 80 percent cap and up to $94,400 for the 100 percent cap.

The notice requires the apartments to remain income-restricted for 50 years. The Omni Community Redevelopment Agency notice does not list rents or an application process.
