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.

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.

We walked in and it was a cute place, the idea was just to get drinks before we left for dinner somewhere else. To be fair, its such a cute place and the servers are really nice. My partner and I decided just to get drinks and it took soooooo long just for two drinks. We were sitting there for a while as well. By the time we got our drinks, I just paid right away so we wouldnt be late. Didnt get food so cant comment on the food side, but totally wasnt worth it to me.

Such a fun space and creative menu. We tried 5 of the foods offered and they were all delicious! I am not vegan, but I enjoy eating vegan food and these food options are top tier. Definitely recommend!

This place is a lot of fun. While we only had drinks, no food, the drinks were excellent. If you are looking for a quiet bar to have peaceful conversations in, this isn’t it. If on the other hand you are looking for a fun ride on a spaceship to an exotic tiki cocktail planet, this is it.

Went to celebrate our anniversary and had a great experience! The ambiance was immersive and very cool to look at. We loved the space theme, which was carried through in every detail. The drinks menu had a strength meter, which was a fun and helpful touch. Everything we tried was delicious, but our favorites were the fried rice and the Mind Killer cocktail. We’d definitely love to come back!

Very cool space theme ambiance inside. Drinks and menu are all space themed, even the bathrooms! Food options are limited.
