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.

    Cocktails were phenomenal! I loved that the n/a cocktail tasted as good as a real one! Food was very good. Concept was really fun. Service was great, very fast, thoughtful and totally accommodating of our toddler! Great valenitne's day dinner for all three of us! I probably would have rated the food higher if it weren't for the fact that everything we've eaten in San Diego is amazing!!

    Super cool spot! We all loved our drinks, even the nonalcoholic was great (coconut milk one). Sandwich had good flavors, great service, cool atmosphere, and even got soft serve with a candle for my birthday!

    Mocktails were delicious and creative. I enjoyed the soft serve. Felt rushed through our time at the table, it was weird telling us it was last call after about 45-minutes or so (at 6:30 pm). We had a couple of drinks. Ambience was great.

    This is where vegans, sci-fi nerds, and drink connoisseurs intersect. The space is so detailed and interesting. The staff is warm and friendly. Drinks were spectacular, even the NA ones. Fresh ingredients and lots of interesting options. Scallion pancake was tasty too. This was the end of a need day I planned for my boyfriend. He loved it!
