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.

    Fun and unique experience! We love to bring our guests here and Disney enthusiast friends. There is no drink minimum and they actually allow kids in the dining area! Also, the bathroom is kinda trippy! LOL.

    Super fun and different for a cocktail experience to change things up. Alfred was super helpful and whipped up delicious drinks! Great way to start off a Saturday night.

    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.
