About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Innovative
  • 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 experience! We went for for my daughters 21st birthday. Our reservation on open table had issues but they worked with us to get us a table big enough for all of us. I thank them for making by daughters 21st birthday memorable. The service was amazing.

    Really cute spot with such fun menus and drink options! Very immersive experience and would highly recommend checking it out. Food was pretty good (would recommend the potato!) and drinks were delicious. A little pricey but you pay for the experience and service!

    A very cool theme and idea! There are so many hidden details and explanations for decor. Food was excellent and drinks were incredibly tasty. We went for a girls’ night while visiting with a friend. They have lots of mocktail options and the staff are wonderfully helpful. It’s a little tight table-wise so we felt a little in the way at times where we were sitting, but staff were gracious.

    We unfortunately had to wait about 15 minutes past our reservation time and didn’t get it added back to our 90 minute time limit there. The decor was very cute and unique. Our server was nice and gave us quick service. It was just odd that most all of the drinks had rum. Not much of a variation making them taste similar

    Every thing was great except for how they packed in the room. I was at the bar and constantly had people running into my chair.
