About
The return of Neon Cactus, an iconic West Lafayette nightclub that closed in 2020, brings with it parts of another former campus staple.
Ethan Brown, the new owner of the Cactus, is the son of Bill and Angie Brown, who owned Jake’s Roadhouse, a campus bar that closed in 2018 because of the then-planned demolition of Chauncey Village.
Brown, who grew up watching his parents run Jake’s and worked in the kitchen area since he was 15, said the Cactus will be the sixth store he has owned since he was 18.
“I have a lot of experience with the restaurant, bar business,” Brown said. “This is what I’ve done my whole entire life.”
