Jonathan’s The Rub Expands to Cypress with Fourth Location

Jonathan’s The Rub, fresh off the opening of its third restaurant in Houston’s East End, is set to expand again with a new location in Cypress. The fourth restaurant will be located in Village Green, part of the 925-acre Bridgeland Central, an “urban district” developed by Howard Hughes Holdings. Scheduled to debut in fall 2025, this new spot will feature a 5,500-square-foot indoor area and two outdoor patios totaling 2,600 square feet. The flexible dining room, available for private events, and an elevated bar area with a draft system for beer, wine, and cocktails, are designed to reflect the natural greenery and trees of the area. The menu will echo the approachable yet eclectic offerings of the existing locations, featuring diverse appetizers, pasta, steaks, and a reasonably priced by-the-bottle wine selection.

Jonathan Levine, owner of Jonathan’s The Rub, shared that they had been eyeing Bridgeland since 2021 and were drawn to the project once they confirmed it was a Howard Hughes development. Jim Carman, President of Howard Hughes Holdings, highlighted the excitement surrounding Bridgeland Central, which will also welcome an H-E-B grocery store by year’s end. Carman emphasized that the arrival of Jonathan’s The Rub is just the beginning, with more businesses and retailers to come, aiming to create a vibrant community hub for Bridgeland residents and the entire Houston region.
