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 spin to a Tiki Bar experience. My wife and I didn’t eat here so I can’t really commit on how the food is but the tiki drinks that we had, the customer service, and overall ambiance of Mothership was Outstanding. Will definitely come back here again when I’m back in San Diego.

    An escape to a faraway place. A place where plants are the only food source, and where creativity of cuisine is necessary to survive. The air is breathable by humans and there are plenty of tasty libations. Gravity in the bathroom malfunctioned briefly but other than that, it was a very enjoyable experience. 👽 🚀 🛸

    A little slow with the drinks but they were excellent m. Potato appetizer was delicious. Chips and dip left something to be desired. Overall I would recommend and try again.

    Great atmosphere and drinks! Service was okay, 10 minutes elapsed between sitting down and being greeted by our server, and our drinks came out after our food, which were ordered at the same time.

    Great place to drink and socialize with friends/family. The spaceship themed ambience was most excellent. Tapas style bites to eat were very good. Will go here again.
