The new Mojo Smokehouse & Ales is in Omaha, for Omaha! Locally owned, family owned and dedicated to showcasing all the great things Omaha has to offer. Mojo features eleven tap handles of Nebraska brewed beers. From Lucky Bucket Lager to Nebraska Brewing Company’s Cardinal Pale Ale, and lots great brews in between, Mojo has a wide variety of brewing styles to choose from. Mojo knows Omaha is a hard working town that knows the value of a buck. So, great specials are offered nightly on popular bar items.
Omaha is a town that loves good food and the name says it all. Mojo Smokehouse specializes in taking the great flavors that come out of the smoker and presenting them in both traditional and innovative ways. Yes, BBQ is at the core of the menu but you haven’t lived until you’ve tried Mojo’s Smoked Chicken Nachos or Smoked Brisket Bruschetta. Smoky pub food with flair, that’s what you’ll get at Mojo!
And speaking of things that no other town does better, how about the Omaha music and entertainment scene? In its first year, Mojo has sponsored the kick-off party for the Maha Music Festival, provided a stage for up-and-coming singers and songwriters and hosted “live band karaoke” with Themotherdudes. Oh, you like comedy? Thursday nights Mojo transitions from “Smokehouse” to “Jokehouse” with Comedy Surprise, an open mic opportunity for serious comics to get up and try new material or first timers to just give it a try.
Mojo is centrally located in Aksarben Village at 67th and Frances Streets. Close to Aksarben Cinema, Jones Brothers Cupcakes and the new Blue Cross Blue Shield Headquarters, Aksarben Village offers a wild range of entertainment and retail experiences that Mojo is excited to be a part of in this growing neighborhood. Stop by and see what you’ve been missing!
