I honestly don't understand why people complain about the ambience or theming... That's literally the point of the restaurant/bar. Like, they have a disclaimer on their front door, saying if you're not ready for the experience, it'

I LOVE Mothership! It was such a blast and i definitely recommend making a reservation! The whole restaurant was packed. The second you walk in you're in a whole other world. The music and the decorations are perfect. The staff are beyond effic

Stopped in for drinks on a whim and we were lucky enough to get a spot at the bar. Place is super cool if you're looking for something unique. Drinks were incredible in all ways looked great, tasted amazing and were strong! We've already m

certainly not the most welcoming atmosphere, staff is just in a massive hurry to get you out the door- it's a really bizarre business model they even tell you when it's your "last chance" to order food or drink? it's a very s

This has been one of the worst dining experiences in my five years living in San Diego. Im not sure where to begin. There is such a strange feeling to this place, it almost feels like it shouldn't be running in the first place. For some reason
I loved the ambiance in this bar.
It felt like I was transported into a sci-fi world. Even though the drinks had a lot of ice, they were still really good and strong. I tried the Star Rider and Homing Beacon, and my partner had the Forbidden Frequency and Wormhole. They were fruity,
The interior is space themed and I love the starry ceiling.
I would recommend to check out their cool bathroom! We came as a walk in around 10:30pm and got seated around 11pm, but we were welcome to sit at the standing tables inside while we waited. We sat at the bar and our drinks came quickly. Warbird: Swe
One of, if not the, best themed bars I have ever been to.
As soon as you enter, you are transported to outer space. The walls are made to look like some sort of space cave or like a space ship that has crashed into another planet. The menu continues the theme with uniquely named drinks and food items. Even

The hype lives up to the experience here! Had a great time grabbing drinks. We enjoyed the Atomic Zombie and Away Mission. Great cocktails in a very well designed space made for a unique and fun date night. We only had drinks this time around and o
Vibes 10/10, nice staff.
Was able to get in on a weeknight. Small place, so know you will most likely need a reservation on a weekend.

I've drank and eaten here many times throughout the years, why have I not written about Ballast Point yet? Like every respectable San Diego micro-brewery, Ballast Point has a vast variety of beers from light to dark, all delicious in their own w

Super cool experience good drinks interesting and good food would love to come back, you get an hour and a half and it's just enough time to enjoy a couple drinks and some food

Well I had read some reviews and totally wasn't sure what to expect. I made reservations and we got there early and got seated at the bar. The bartenders were nice. The menu was interesting I guess. The decor was somewhat interesting. I suppose
Drinks were nice! Although not too much seating.
Service was amazing! Was always tended to!
A great find while traveling.
Didn't know what to expect, but ambience, service, drinks... all great! Highly recommend!

It was a good experience.
Always wanted to check it out. The decor is awesome. We spent $33 plus tip on 2 drinks. The drinks were laughable due to the large volume of ice they put in it. One and done, won't be coming back because of it. If they wanna rob someone, they might a

What I had: - Chips ($11) - Truth serum ($16) - Polaris ($16) - Homing beacon ($16) - Mindkiller $18) How it tasted: - Realistically most of the drinks are at least moderately sweet. If that's in your realm of preferred taste, then these are perfec

Very cool and unique ambience, great service/bartenders, delicious drinks. Would recommend to anyone who likes sci-fi and tiki drinks. Very neat experience and unlike any other.
Long wait for drinks the first round but very worth it.
Super cool unique place and I am so glad we stopped by. Definitely recommend making reservations though because the space was pretty small and had over a 2 hour wait by the time we left.
I loved this place.
Loved it! The entire process was painless - book a reservation online in less than a minute, show up 10 min before reservation, bam seated. My visit was alcohol only but each drink i tasted was amazing. Even the non alcoholic "Tracking Device&qu
Fun and inventive.
The drinks and food is all crafted with care and feature fun flavors. They definitely stick to the 90 minute limit, which should be enough time since it's drinks and light bites. However, you should come in knowing what you're going to order first so

The founder definitely put thought into every aspect of this place. From the starry ceiling, to menus, even the bathroom was well thought out and on theme. As the dd of the group, I was impressed with the variety of the mocktail selection, the innova

We came in at the earliest reservation time they had and it was really cool because we were able to take videos of the place. The waitress explained us the menu and offered us help if we had any questions. I loved how they had a a bar of how much alc
Great drinks (expensive) but worth it.
Such a cool, fun theme inside and definitely worth the experience. Make sure to have a reservation.

This would've been a 5 star review if they only had a working phone number :( I just feel like if you're gonna charge for a no show reservation, you need to have a working phone number where I can actually talk to a human and say that I'm running lat

The ambiance is fun and cool to do once! Maybe I don't have an elevated enough palate but I didn't like the food, it's space themed and very... experimental? Same for the drinks, I'm sure a lot of folk would like the flavors so I still rate this plac

The drinks are so good! I got the mule and it was just the right amount of strong (coming from a lightweight, but they have a variety of choices). The drinks are aesthetic and fit the vibe, great to come here on a double date or with friends.
Family friendly, super place
We went there with our two kids (10-12) and realy enjoyed IT. Kids were playin pinball games while we took a Beer. People there are friendly and they realy like what they Do. Do not hesitate to ask questions or to ask for a taster before you order.
Mothership was a cool vibe.
It was right on track with how it's advertised. We didn't have a reservation - we got there right when it opened. We had a party of three - I believe our wait was around an hour. This place is decorated head to toe in space theme. I loved the creativ

Food is super delicious 10/10, but I wish there was a different alcoholic beverage selection, but thats just me. Definitely recommend the experience overall.
Wow, I am stunned that Mothership only has a flat 4-stars.
It really should get five for uniqueness and theming alone, but as they say, there's no acocunting for taste. I've been there three times now, and it has been stellar (pun definitely intended) every single time.To begin with, you just have to respec

We managed to get a reservation after months of trying to get one. To make a reservation, you do have to pay $5 per person. You are refunded you when you show up to your reservation. I had made two reservations, one for a group of 4, and one for myse

My wife and daughters took me for my birthday and we some amazing food plus drinks. We totally recommend it to whoever loves vegan food plus some great tasting drink!!!!!!!
The drinks are amazing.
Do NOT get the "Rice" dish. Potato dish is great. The rice dish taste like something my roommate would make and it's not that good. Plus I can't believe they charge $19 for a handful of tteokbokki with a meh sauce... not worth the money pai

Randomly came on a Tuesday night for drinks! The atmosphere was awesome, fans of Star Trek will definitely get a kick out of it. Drinks were tasty, but a little pricey.

We had a great time at Mothership! For context, as a party of 4 we arrived around 8pm with no reservations on a Friday night. So we had low expectations on getting in, but the host was incredibly nice and got us into the bar area in less than 30 minu

It's a cool place! Everything was new vibe for me! Bit of a price in the drink but good place to hang and talks. It can be crowed as people said but I came during rain so it's mot bad. Had to wait a little for seats. The music but weird! I would give
5 stars: Drinks order is taken straight away
Every restaurant owner knows profit comes from the drinks people consume with their food. – not with the food itself. When this is recognized the business benefits with profit, waiters / waitresses benefit with more tip money and the consumer benef
Connect with users posting reservations for MOTHERSHIP San Diego
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with MOTHERSHIP San Diego. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to MOTHERSHIP San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the MOTHERSHIP San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at MOTHERSHIP San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at MOTHERSHIP San Diego!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
