Outside of the drinks, the overall experience at Mother is just as impressive. The service is attentive and friendly, the atmosphere warm and inviting with its dim lighting and laid-back vibe.

Incredible. From the moment we walked in the door we were so impressed! The host at the front was very pleasant and introduced us to the bartenders who actually greeted us too and spoke with us the entire time we were there. This friendly gesture and customer-centred atmosphere was just the beginning of a great experience.

We came from another bar where our experience was … not great, but this bar totally turned our night around! We got lucky and were able to get a seat at the bar, but we will make a reservation for next time! This is a cozy little space, and it seemed like it was quite popular!

We ordered multiple drinks, some from the menu and others the bartenders got creative with. We loved all of them. They CLEARLY take a lot of pride in their work and we were so impressed not only by the quality and attention to detail with the food/drinks, but also how friendly and welcoming the staff were. I feel like it can be hard to have these kinds of experiences at bars/restaurants now, but we left wanting to become regulars!

Thanks so much for an amazing night, keep up the great work! We will be back!

Mother Bar was an amazing experience! We visited based on a friend’s recommendation, and it did not disappoint. The bar’s layout is inviting, creating a welcoming vibe, and the staff were friendly and respectful, taking the time to explain the menu to us in detail. We ended up ordering more drinks than we planned because everything sounded so intriguing.

Each drink was beautifully crafted, with its own unique story and presentation. My personal favorite was the porcelain—it had an incredible aroma that made the experience even better. Although we didn’t try the food this time, we’re definitely planning to pair it with some dishes on our next visit. This place is a must-visit for anyone looking for great drinks and a warm atmosphere!

The bartenders and servers were nice, and the food was great. We ordered karaage, steak, and udon. My personal favorite was the steak, but they were all worth trying. For cocktails, we tried Honey+, Porcelain, Casablanca, and Summit Alexander🍈. Taste-wise, I liked the Summit Alexander with melon and passion fruit. Appearance-wise, Porcelain and Honey would definitely catch the eye.🌸 But don’t get me wrong—they all looked great! Overall, it was a fantastic experience.

Everything is just so great.

I recommend take a second dinner here, kitchen opens before 11 or 11:30pm. We ordered their udon and jerk chicken karaage. It does not taste like anything I have tried before although it’s really common type of food. Absolutely the best.

The service is friendly and great, the environment is relaxing.

We had three drinks there, skyline collective, toasted chai pina colada and a customized one. All offer different vibes.

100% recommend and a must try!
