I had an amazing time at The Original Mothers! The atmosphere is lively, and the drinks are top-notch, but what really made the experience unforgettable was the service from Bri, the bartender. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone was taken care of. Her recommendations were spot on, and she even took the time to chat with us between drinks, making us feel right at home. If you're in the area, definitely stop by – Bri will make sure you have a great time! Will definitely be back!
I started coming here with my girls towards the end of August and this place was a vibe and the music was right... Now the vibe is just off! Definenantly not coming here anymore especially since security here is awful.

This bar used to be cool. It is no longer. Paid a $10 cover per person on a Friday night, only to experience a DJ who wasn’t qualified to play a bar mitzvah and a bar that was basically empty on our arrival. I think this place mistakes its proximity to cool
bars as being a cool bar itself. Well, I’m here to correct that misunderstanding. Do not waste your money on a cover for this place as you’ll be sorely disappointed by the music, ambience, and lack of crowd.

Tonight at Mother’s on Division and State, myself and my guest was ASSAULTED by the manager, named China, and a few of his fellow security guards. I have been patronizing this establishment for over ten years and I am deeply saddened and shaken with fear for what I encountered from the manager of Mother’s this evening. After what I thought was a friendly back and forth banter we were denied entry into the establishment and as more words were exchanged, the manager with the red hat punched my guest at least 3 times while we were wrestled to the ground by the security team. I am saddened to see how this place has declined over the years due to the rude, unprofessional managers and security that are entrusted to run this facility. They are rough and aggressive with men and women, while the charge what ever prices they want to charge for you to enter.

I was there just for the night but enjoyed my time! The staff were great! Very helpful with drinks and general questions I had. They have 1 pool table and 2 beer bong tables. A dance floor with mirrors on one while of the wall. Would recommend for a quick night out.

Was here tonight 4/6 with my friend for the singles mixer - twice the bartenders did not put me on a tab even though I said yes to them asking both times. Also the music was very loud: loud enough people had to be very loud with their conversations and I could barely hear my friend.Also if there’s food there was no way of knowing about it as my friend and I only saw the drink menu

Sophia, the events/marketing director for Mother's and their sister bars, has always been lovely to work with for finding a venue/planning an event for large groups (200+) at the last minute (like, the day before the events are supposed to occur). Our group has always been very satisfied with the venue, the service, and their flexibility. Thank you!!

I thought the place would have improved as the last time I visited was 25yrs ago. Well it was quite dirty. Service was bad and the drinks were not good as the bar tender did not know how to make a few drinks.

Went here for the night before NYE and it was absolutely dead. There was maybe a total of 10 people. The performers were super talented and very entertaining. They interacted as they could with such a small crowd. The drinks weren't anything great, but priced pretty well.
