Text reading 'M.O. HOSPITALITY' in white capital letters on a black background.

M.O. (modus operandi) n.
A way of doing things.

Not a formula, a set of standards. M.O. Hospitality is a San Jose-born collective of award-winning restaurants and bars. Each concept has a distinct identity, but all are united by a shared approach: immersive experiences that are serious about craft, relaxed in spirit, and rooted in community.

OUR STORY
A hand holding a flamethrower aimed at a tall glass of pink frozen drink with ice crystals, garnished with a cinnamon stick. The drink is on a reflective dark surface.

Serious concepts, designed for a good time.

From upscale dining, to craft cocktail lounges, a vinyl listening room, and an arcade bar, no two concepts are the same—and that’s by design. Rooted in San Jose, each one is created to bring new energy, new ideas, and new destinations that help shape the Downtown community, and expand what the city has to offer.

PAPER PLANE

A cornerstone of San Jose’s cocktail scene known for its expertly crafted drinks, standout food, extensive spirits list, and high-energy atmosphere.
