Live Music at MOTS
This is where the music lives.
Mouth of the South isn't just a restaurant—it's a gathering place and a damn good reason to stay out late or get up early. We bring in real musicians playing real music, right in the middle of it all. No velvet ropes, no separation. Just good sound settling into your bones while you eat, drink, and lose track of time.
We've hosted heavy hitters like Hector Anchondo, Tom Pevear, Dustin Arbuckle & Matt Woods, Gunnar Guenette, Steve Lovett, Brody Buster, Tony Holiday, and Max Kaplan. Whether it's a weeknight set or a weekend throwdown, expect scratch-made Southern food, strong drinks, and music that hits you right in the soul.
Blues Brunch | Select Saturday & Sundays
Our weekend reset. Live blues, bottomless good times, and the kind of brunch worth crawling out of bed for. Bring your people, camp out for a while, and let the music do the rest.
Check our lineup and plan your next visit.

MOTS After Dark | September 3rd, October 1st, November 5th
This fall, we're staying open late and turning our dining room over to full live bands the first Thursday of each month. We're calling it MOTS After Dark.
If you were here for our Mardi Gras party, you know the kind of night we mean. West Omaha doesn't get enough live music, so we're handling it ourselves. Hand-picked bands, kitchen open late, room turned loud.
