About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • 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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
MOTHERSHIP is a captivating restaurant that transports guests to a "unique celestial world." The "immersive" atmosphere and meticulously crafted drinks make it a "must-visit" spot. While the food menu is limited, the "vegetarian options are delightful." Service is often praised, though some find the 90-minute dining limit restrictive.

    Tiki but space themed, escapism at its finest. Solid drinks and just probably the best atmosphere

    Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food, a. great time. We've been here multiple times since they've opened and we love it every single time. It's great for grabbing a drink and sharing small plates. Can't recommend it enough.

    From the moment you walk through the door you are transported to space. The small space is cozy and fun! The lighting sounds and even the restroom were on point for the theme! The cocktails were inventive and delicious and the “Bread” (eggplant tomato dip w/pita) was yummy.

    Awesome and trippy experience! A San Diego must do now in my opinion, the ambience and attention detail is out of this world, no pun intended. I def recommend their Paella rice!

    Fantastic drinks, really cool ambience (with some cool surprises!) and surprisingly comfortable seating, which is a great way to wrap up a heavy night out. Loved it!
