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

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.

    I really appreciate the spaceship team. The appetizer we ordered was excellent, and the drinks were perfectly balanced, which I absolutely love. It was great to have just the right amount of alcohol. Keep up the good work! Will come back😌

    Drinks were strong and atmosphere was super cool! Definitely gave some Disneyland vibes! But the BIGGEST down side is constantly being RUSHED through your experience by the not-so-pleasant staff. Not to mention, arrived 5 minutes before our reservation to be turned away because “they weren’t ready for us yet”. Glad we got to experience this, but one and done because of the service.

    This place is awesome! The way they designed it and the detail is fantastic. I loved it. The ceiling of stars and flying stars is incredible. We had the potato and quite delicious. We will be back for sure.

    The potatoes were really good, the place is different from other speakeasies. It’s a bit small but not a problem, great for date nights.

    Great date night with my wife. We ordered the $40 bowl for two and our waiter made sure to be cautious of my wife’s allergy. Altered the drink, but it still taste fantastic! We will definitely be back to try more of their selection.

    It was not worth the time or the wait. It was a waste of money and time. I will never return. Im happy that I came so that I'm not left wondering if this place will be fun. It was meh. Good luck with everything, you'll be fine.
