“Mother’s is a staple bar in Gainesville. The food is homemade and always affordable. The staff are accommodating, friendly, and personable. It is always a fun and safe atmosphere. There is always entertainment of some sort. Management tolerates zero shenanigans and yet will still go out of their way to make you happy.“

“I lived in Gainesville for 6 yrs and this was my first time coming here. I'm not a drinker or anything, so I avoid bars, but this was more like 'pool tables with drinks' than 'a bar with pool tables.' This place is clean, reasonably quiet, and very spacious. I wish I would've come here years ago.“

“We went late on Sunday night to enjoy happy hour and half priced games and had a great experience. We were quickly seated and our server had great energy that really helped set the tone for a fun night. We started with a chicken quesadilla which was delicious and packed with huge chicken chunks. For my meal I ordered the eat and play combo wings and they were terrific. They were crispy underneath and the sauce was sweet and very flavorful. We also enjoyed happy hour beer, although I did not realize it was domestic beer only so my Modelo did not qualify, which was a small surprise. We did an hour of free game play and there was a really good variety of games, especially for a group of three. The game room had a large selection and everything felt well maintained. All of the staff we interacted with were pleasant and friendly. Overall we were really impressed with how much they offer, including catering and large event options. We will definitely be back again.“

“Awesome exterior heating system on the rooftop bar!“

“Mat Green is awesome. He brings class to the place with his sweater vests.“

“With all the local closures, eating at this lone survivor feels like the end of an era. I sat there staring at my half-priced apps, suddenly realizing Andy Bernard was right: I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.“

“our attentive server today name Cadence, she is awesome, friendly and definitely gave us choices for drinks that i appreciate a lot, hope if you go there you get her as your server she made our visit enjoyable. foods great, drinks are great, my husband felt his drink was a little bit on the sweet side but Cadence took the time and see how to change it for his taste.“
