The Pepper Club, the Mediterranean restaurant opened by chef Todd English in The English Hotel in downtown Las Vegas, will close after service on January 2, 2026. The restaurant debuted in March 2022 as part of the hotel’s launch, aiming to bring a downtown New York aesthetic to the Las Vegas Arts District.
Anna Olin, co-founder of Z Life Co., the hotel’s developer, expressed gratitude for the support of guests, staff, and the Arts District community, and thanked chef Bruce Kalman for his leadership and creativity. Kalman, chef-owner of SoulBelly BBQ and a James Beard Award nominee, had recently joined as food and beverage director for Z Life’s Midtown project and was tasked with reimagining The Pepper Club, but appears to have departed the project.
No replacement for The Pepper Club has been announced. The English Hotel remains part of the Midtown neighborhood, a mixed-use development in the northern Arts District.
