Tropical space adventure in South Park! Exotic cocktails. Interplanetary fusion small plates. Named Best Bars In America by Esquire Magazine.

WALK INS WELCOME - Walk-in tables are available daily. Early arrival is encouraged and there is a paging system in the event of a waitlist.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: MOTHERSHIP recently landed on Esquire’s best bars list for its top-tier vegan plates and inventive riffs on tropical drinks with unlikely combos like amaro and TANG cordial. But it’s the sci-fi design details that are especially impressive, including colour-changing lights, menus that resemble flight manuals, and a shuttlecraft-turned-bar.

    Went there are a birthday party with 4 women in their late 70s. They loved it. The food was great but strange, the ambience was wonderful and the waitress was great. The only issue is that is is hard to find (tucked back between a tatoo parlor and a pizza joint) and the parking was difficult. Be prepared to walk a block or two.

    Cool atmosphere & great vegetarian food! Cocktails had cool names and were great, I liked that they had a grading regarding their estimated alcohol content. Labeled I.e. as worb speed for a stronger one.

    Cool place, maybe a little over hyped. Our server basically rushed us out after one drink. I definitely recommend eating before you go!

    Our first time at Mothership. Very nicely decorated place , ambiance is fantastic and the appetizers are good too. The drinks look really nice visually but they taste ok. Definitely would recommend to try out if you are in the area.

    This place is incredible. You really do feel like you’re transported into a different world. It’s so well thought out and every aspect of this place follows the world they’ve created. The drinks were also spectacular. Well worth a visit.
