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

Reservations offer 90-minute experience like no other, venturing towards the outer limits of the tropical flavor galaxy!

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 color-changing lights, menus that resemble flight manuals, and a shuttlecraft-turned-bar.

There was some open table reservation snafu that caused a delay, but after we got seated service was perfect as usual. So, not their fault, sounds like open table managed to double book, but we got our table in like 15 minutes and I love this place.

The outer space ambiance, detailed and creative menu, and fun service was all truly outstanding. This is a bar/speakeasy that really lives up to its theme. I enjoyed my visit and can't wait to come back.

It was our first time here. I took my girlfriend, she had no idea where we were going. When we walked in she was so surprised and happy as she has seen many tik toks and pictures on social media of this place. The drinks we had were all delicious, especially the winter special drinks

The Mothership is an experience. From the entrance, decor, service and food. I truly enjoyed the donuts. I also had the noodles and tofu. If you’re alone you’ll be seated at the bar. I believe it was the best seat in the restaurant. If I’m ever in the area again, I’d try their sister restaurant too.

Super immersive themed bar for fun, tropical cocktails! From the moment you walk in you are transported to another world, from the selection of music to every little detail. I loved it.
