"With $4 Modelos and bright cocktails, this femme-centered queer bar in the Mission is the place to sit at the bar under sultry purple lights and meet your future lover—or ex. At prime time, people at Mother start dancing to whatever low-key playlist is spinning, but don’t expect a rowdy night. Instead, people crowd around the bar chatting with someone they just met, work their way around the room, or just lounge with some friends on the giant banquette in the back while a projector plays a wide array of queer media. Just don’t count on the bathroom line being short, we’ve counted way too many people coming out of there at once." - ricky rodriguez, peter astrid kane
