About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Great decor and experience. Really loved the cocktails and the food was good but not amazing. Lots of vegetarian options which are appreciated! One thing that does need attention are the chairs need to be replaced. There was a metal thing sticking me. The service was also fabulous. Overall a fun themed restaurant.

    The ambience and theme are amazing. Service was great- but know that your reservation is strictly limited to 90 min. Didn’t bother us, just something to be aware of. Drinks were tasty Abe very inventive. We weren’t super excited about the food options but we also weren’t planning and didn’t get food. A great place for a special-occasion pre-dinner drink.

    Just a really fun atmosphere! Committed to the theme of space-tiki bar with decor and menu. Huge drink menu, with delicious concoctions.

    Sat at the bar. I was able to get last-minute. The bartender was so dope! The vibe was great! Definitely would come back.  I forgot his name but he’s in the picture I took!

    The server Ryan was so hospitable and patient with all 7 of us. He really made the effort to go through the cocktail menu with us and try to curtail our palettes to the cofktails he recommended! The cocktails were alright but it almost felt like we were in disneyland!
