The former Hooters building at 12710 Westport Parkway in La Vista is getting a new tenant, and this one is trading wing baskets for upscale Mexican fare. Clase Código plans to open a second restaurant location inside the old sports bar space in the city’s Southport West area, with renovations already underway.
Grow Omaha reports that Clase Código is an upscale Mexican restaurant and that the La Vista site would be its second metro location. The outlet also reports that Hooters closed there in May 2026, leaving the building vacant.
The restaurant’s first location opened in 2025 at 3350 South 143rd Plaza near Oak View Mall, according to Grow Omaha. The La Vista project would bring the brand to another part of the metro.
Renovation Timeline Points To Early 2027
Grow Omaha reports that renovations are underway at the former Hooters building and that Clase Código is targeting an early 2027 opening.
A separate Grow Omaha report said Hooters had closed permanently at the Westport Parkway location. The Southport West site remained vacant after the closure before Clase Código’s plans emerged.
Other Plans for Southport West
The restaurant is one of several announced projects in the area. 3 News Now reported that a separate Southport West project would add Slick City Action Park, a waterless slide park, as part of the area’s family-entertainment offerings.
