Mom's Bar

My favourite bar in L.A..mom’s bar, located along Santa Monica boulevard, Moms is a spacious yet intimate bar with friendly staff and security. Great selection of drinks and cocktails, ping pong table and outdoor patio. Open late, DJ plays on weekends creating a club atmosphere, Would highly recommend a visit to moms

Came here on a Sunday around 6:30pm and it was very quiet. I wanted to check out their Happy Hour. I have posted the menu they provided me (check out my photos in menu section) but the bartender told me that well drinks, domestic beer & drafts were $5, unlike the pictures I posted of the menu (provided by QR code).I guess I’ll find out for sure when the bill comes. The place is very dark…very dark. Also, there is NO FOOD (emphasized for those who don’t read this whole thing) ONLY drinks. Whoopee for the drinkers! If you want food there’s a 7-11 and a pizza place across the street. The best part, in my opinion, is that they have an outdoor patio area (see photo). Great place for drinks and just spending time with friends, your bestie, or a significant other! Tip: 1) Happy Hour 4pm-8pm every day 2) Patio Seating is brighter and airy 3) Eat before you get here 4) Bring a friend, otherwise you may look creepy

It’s so clean?!? The bouncer was quick to help clean a broken glass, and the tables at the end of the night. The seats are all in good condition and there are antibacterial pumps at every table. The candles are a really nice touch. The bartender and bouncer are absolute gentlemen, too. Music has great bass and makes you want to dance. Lit!

This was an absolutely awesome night. We were celebrating my boyfriend's graduation from UCLA and went with a large group of friends reserved our tables ahead of time and the staff was amazing great atmosphere clean bathrooms. And the drinks were pretty damn good. The only thing I would complain about the acoustics when the DJ was playing all we have here with noise you couldn't tell what song was playing just listening to the beat but we still dance all night!

The “smoking patio” is non smoking… lol They’re super babysitter on that by the way, also the entire atmosphere feels like you’re in 4th grade with your teachers looking over your shoulder, which is absolutely crazy I’ve never been to a stricter BAR in my entire life lol The service also sucks really bad but whatever i guess if you’re willing to pay way over priced for wells and never smoke or cuss this is the right place for you ! Also the games here suck, and mote than half of them are broken or missing pieces lol

…MOM’s - GREAT LOCAL SPOT - with friendly STAFF … great happy hour…and easy parking too…stopped in today for an afternoon martini with OLIVIA behind the bar … She (and Kevin) make a wicked martini … JC 🤙

Nice bar but unfortunately bad experience with being overcharged. I got the receipt for the fellow next to me (multiple fireballs) instead of my couple of beers. The guy next to me got the same receipt (but accurate for his actual order). Made a comment, bartender corrected it. Found out the following day that he did not correct it and I got charged on my creditcard for both my drink and the guy’s next to me. Now fixing it by disputing it with my CC provider. Be aware people.

The workers here are very nice 🙂 This is why I gave 3 stars for service. The drinks are good and strong. Happy Hour 4-8 everyday. They don't have any pool tables. No jukeboxes.The outdoor patio used to be OK to smoke at. No Smoking on the patio. The restrooms had No Lights in there. I believe that Moms changed owners at some point. Now they have a karaoke 🎤 night that could be fun. I was there on St Patrick's Day. Very empty.I thought they would have done something special for St Patrick's Day. If you want to go to get strong drinks at good prices Moms is the local bar to go to. Atmosphere is OK. Karaoke night could be a fun time.

Olivia, the bartender, is awesome! It's a pleasure having Mom's in the neighborhood. Lots of memories over the years.

We always have a good time when coming here! Parking on the street is not so bad and we often get here early. The vibes are always so great and everyone is bound to have a good time! The Capri Sun is a must and contains Pink Whitney lemonade vodka, High Noon pineapple seltzer, and will definitely remind you of back in the day since it all comes in a pouch, too! The Espresso Martini is also another delicious choice and this contains espresso vodka, Mr. Black coffee liqueur, and Bailey's! They play bangers frequently, put awesome games on, have a cool ping pong table, and the seats, especially those in the other rooms, are so comfortable. It is definitely a fun spot to go dancing with friends and enjoy cheaper drinks!

If there's one thing anyone should know about me is I love a good dive bar. Mom's does not disappoint. The only reason for four stars I don't remember who it was that was bartending, but it took them a while to come over and say what's up...now, as a Bartender... One of the most important things you can do is greet your customer sitting down fairly quickly so that they know that you see them. and I remember being involved in a conversation with my friend always sat down but to me that's no excuse. I always come over and I always say sorry for the interruption. Here's our drink menu. Let me know if you need anything. My name is Myla. I'm gonna let you guys take a look at that menu... and then I bring them water... Eventually he came back around and I got a shot of wild turkey and a PBR...There was some sort of a drink special going on...not sure. Mom's is exactly what you would expect dark, divey with interesting patrons. I have since gone back. Service was a lot better. It was a girl this time but Mom's is a staple a dive bar stable. I've not eaten any food there... But it's a place where I'll always fall back on. I love Mom's. It is what it is.

bro, this pace is actually so fckin nastyy. I was sitting at a table with my friend harley and Isaac, this was when a man in an orange two peice came over and took my drink. I told him to put it down and he ignored me so I brushed it off and bought a new one. after that, I was at the ping pong table and he came over ands started grabbing my arm and fucking CARESSING IT...this made me so mad and I left with Harley and Isaac. the others gays were actually very nice other than that one guy

Stopped by this spot and was really glad I did. The vibe is laid-back but still full of energy, and it's the kind of place where you can either hang out and talk or jump right into the fun. Drinks were solid, the crowd was friendly, and the atmosphere just made the whole night flow. It's one of those bars that makes you want to come back, and I definitely will.

This is THE PLACE to watch Packers games! What fun! The vibe is amazing and the drink specials were spot on. Our services was great. Definitely go here!

It's been a while since I've been to Mom's and was so happy to find that it hasn't changed. Went there for a group event. Cool spot, that is a whole lot bigger than you think. Love the lounge room in the back with the fireplace. Fun and reasonably priced drinks, and the bar tenders are great. Try their spiked capri sun drink that comes in a pouch. Great music when the DJ comes on. Would have taken pictures, but it's really too dark in there for them to show anything, so you'll have to use your imagination.

Really cool experience coming here. It went all the way to the back where it was nice and quiet, with comfortable seating. Drinks were good during happy hour and it was cool to see that ping pong was center stage. I will definitely come back and perhaps stay a little longer.

I came to Mom's bar because one of my friends had highly recommended it. Well.. she did not disappoint. I really loved this bar with its low lighting and lowkey vibe. The music could be a little better but that didn't ruin the fun time with other patroons dancing the night away. The drinks were pretty tasty and pretty well priced. I honestly don't remember what I ordered but it was fruity as hell. I will definitely be back here.

Solid dive bar and bartenders that free pour strong drinks and charge appropriate prices. A very good spot whether it's dead or packed.

Mom's is almost always a good time! Drinks are good and DJ Bossa Nova on weekends is a pretty solid dj. It's small and pretty casual but there are always people dancing which is why I like it here! I tried using the photo booth last night though and it didn't work :( it charged me $5 all for the pictures to come out blank. So don't use it if you go to Mom's lol

If you're looking for a "watering hole" this is what you've been looking for. Those of you who have seen my other reviews know that I prefer my bars on non-sports nights so I can chat with friends and other patrons. This is my second time here and the experience was equally enjoyable and exactly what I was looking for -- a good drink, a good place to sit and some good conversation. One INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT ingredient in this mis is the bar staff: very friendly without being overly solicitous, knowing exactly when to check in on your possible need for a next drink. Atmosphere: comfortable and relaxed, with pool tables (play was pretty mellow) and a pleasant surprise, an outdoor area and a small library style nook that makes you feel like you are in a drawing room club. Excellent selection of whiskeys (Irish and Scottish), and bourbons. I am told the vodka selections are pretty deep, and the tequila shelf (and its cousin mezcal) with look to be well stocked as far as selection. Happy Hour has very well priced beers and cocktails, and the complimentary potato chips were a nice touch (warning -- they will help you surpass your recommended daily allowance of sodium by about 820%).

Phoenix the bouncer was extremely rude. I literally thought he was joking when he told our group of 10 that we couldn't come in due to arriving in a party bus. I asked if he was serious and he said "I can tell you've been overserved." I was dead sober. The only reason our group was in a party bus was because we had been celebrating a friends birthday in Simi Valley and wanted to all ride back to LA together. It was truly a bizarre interaction. As an LA native I recommend going to literally any other bar.

My wife and I seem to just love every time we end up at Mom's. The coconut mate and white lotus are a couple of our fav drinks. The service is consistently good, Andy is our fav bartender!! We always have to stop in when we're in the area. In fact, I think I'll get in my Range Rover and head over there now.

This place is so fun and everyone was super friendly. I had the capri sun drinks and they were delicious.

Great Green Bay Packer bar in LA. Like watching the game in a bar in Wisconsin. Drink specials, free brats and a green shot at halftime. Go Pack Go!

Parking was easy, the lights are low, there's no pool but there's a paddle ball table lol. The jerky is freaking pricy and there are like 2 slivers in that bag. Free yummy chips though!!

Love the packers and these guys do too. It's great to watch the games there on Sundays. Music, brats, and winning shots, even dancing when they win. I can't think of a better place to be.

A very tiny dance floor. So many college kids & single dudes trying to hit on Girls in the club. Bar Tenders are awesome and drink is not pricy. DJs are okie. Dive bar turned to be a hip spot on the weekend. Bar hopping worth for the weekend.

Great place to play ping pong. I used to play there before COVID. It's a lot of fun. I miss the good time I spent over there.

Mix of dive bar in the front and classy back room lounge. Came with friends and ordered some drinks on a Saturday night. Good mix of beers, cocktails, and margaritas. Decent crowd but was able to get a table quickly. Bartenders were attentive. Dance floor started getting packed after 10pm. Overall good experience.

Usually go on weekends when there's music and dancing. Service is great and drinks are good. Will definitely be coming back in the future.

Really enjoyed this place! Went twice about two weeks ago on Wednesday and Thursday. Two pretty chill days for the bar. It's somewhat of a typical dive bar on the inside with the exception of their being more soace than a typical dive bar. There's the main bar area, the patio, and a whole back section of seating that gives more of a speakeasy vibe. The staff on both nights were very friendly, including the security on Wednesday night. It had rained so the patio was technically closed but he let us sit outside and even turned the fire thing on and placed it near us. That was kind. They also have a PING PONG table that goes away during the weekend or at least on Thursday it was gone in place of a DJ and dancing. Prices are decent. I had a margarita for 9$ and the DJ was fun. It took a second to get a lot of people dancing but he seemed to cater to what was more popular and what got people on the dance floor which I liked. I was super close to this bar at a hotel across the street so it's why I chose to go. I'm happy with that decision there's plenty of bars like this around but they have enough space and decent prices to rival the rest. Oh they also have a Photo Booth if that's your thing!

Great atmosphere, they have a f@&$.. ping pong table!!! I loved it! Last time I played ping pong was 31 years ago!! Don't judge! Anyway, it was great experience and if you are traveler like me, take a leap! It a good place !!! I think happy hour is 6pm - 8 pm. But even after that decent prices!! I am still little drunk but I wanted to post before u forget!!! :) Thank you !!! Live long and prosper! :)

Good vibes, though a bit outside my age bracket as it definitely skews young. It'd probably be great during the week with a group of friends, on the weekends it was quite loud and boisterous. Not exactly a dive but it's definitely not pretending to be swanky. It wants to feel local but in the end it just felt like another college bar.

We had a great time cheering on Green Bay Packer. The server was attentive. Free bratwurst and shots at halftime. Great variety of beers. Go prices. Go Pack Go!!!

Great place to party!! I loved going there it was full of good vibes and good times!

TW: DRUGGED Wanna preface that I love this bar and have had great experience with bartenders and bouncers. This recent Friday night, I went with some friends to go dancing and have a few drinks. There was a LOT of people there and it was very lively. I drank around 4 drinks total and I'm not a lightweight so this should not have been enough to make me feel like wasted but probably a bit drunk. Anyway, we end up leaving and long story short I was drugged at the bar. Don't know how or who but We're talking, not able to speak, not able to walk... the wholeeeee thing. Very scary. My friends felt weird and sipped from my drink but I know I was on a whole other level. Also would get drinks alone at a very busy area so you never know. To my ladies, make sure you're watching your drinks and just be super careful as lots of college peps are roaming around. AGAIN. I love this bar and usually have such a lovely experience so wanted to just keep yall aware. Crazy people are everywhere. UPDATE: was able to talk with manager who was so kind and helpful with the report. He informed me that they have drug tests behind bar if you ever feel unsure. Love this bar and upset this happened.

Can we say KELLY is the bartender How she able to handle the this whole by herself and give the best service ever ! Such a fun spot to spend your Sunday funday thank you Kelly for such a fun experience

This place is popping on a Friday night. There was a little delayed in getting our drinks. Maybe because I looked a little out of place since we came right after work and just needed a drink. While everyone else looks like there to have a good time and dance all night. There is a lot of places to sit and have a chat. The music was really good and the drinks were decently priced. I would definitely come back and enjoy their bar but maybe not on a weekend night.

Very strange location. Behind a smart n final, and next to a lightbulb store. The last place you would look for a bar with a decent scene, but surprise surprise, here it is. Went on a Friday night, doorman was a bit cheeky but hey that's how most doormen are. Stepped inside and was surprised to find it packed, decent music and crowd, no one seems belligerent or bad vibes, drinks were pretty cheap for west LA, there's a nice quiet area behind the bar in the patio where you can get some air and room to talk. Dinged a star for how long it takes to get the bartenders attention and how crowded the entrance is, I don't feel like it'd be safe in a fire. But otherwise, super fun spot, highly recommend.

Come pretty offten, open everyday. Nice place to have a drink and great music during weekend.

Awesome bar with dope atmosphere, cool bar Tender and best music!!! I would def go again!

Cool spot. Affordable drinks for the area, bartender is chill and made us feel welcomed. They give you free chips, I didn't try them but they look cool. Will be back if I'm in the area.

Kelli was our server and she was AMAZING !! Super sweet and super attentive . It was my first time here and I'll DEFINITELY be back ! Thank you Kelli !!!

update; Since correcting the doorman error Mom's remains a staple in the neighborhood and a fantastic time

Very fun bar had a great atmosphere and pricing worth coming back to especially for LA.

I came here at midnight to celebrate my 21st birthday a couple of weeks ago. I had SO much fun! The bartenders were so kind. I even got a birthday shot on the house. I loved the music, the other patrons were generally pretty nice, and the staff really helped me to enjoy my first night of being legal. I also thought it was funny how the bouncer laughed a little because I came EXACTLY at midnight. I totally would've laughed if I were him as well lol! Good prices, good drinks, good music, good bartenders. Now that I'm legal, I think Mom's has earned my loyalty for life :)

Great time at this place, vibrant, and fun! I was surprised to find such a variety of fun things to do!

Not sure about reviews saying the dance floor is tiny. The dance floor is pretty much the entire bar. Drinks are fine, but weak. DJ bossa nova was a lot of fun. It was a mix of early 2000s R&B, top 40, and the occasional oldie. Crowd is a bit young and kind of fratty, but the vibes are good.

It was quite a disappointment. The waitress was particularly rude whilst she was verifying the vaccination QR code + passport. The cocktail (Cadillac) was really salty and merely drinkable. Improvements should be made otherwise it will be a cesspit.

If you are from Chicago we all know the famous Greenbay Packers bars on Racine and Wells. Think about those and multiply by a gazillion on game days. Moms Bar will blow your mind. It's run by the most fun loving and generous people around. The only area without a tv is the bathroom and that may be coming! Ok, ok let me back up. First the drinks are cheap and they don't skimp on the booze! When Packers play it screams fun. The sound system is cranked. You can even buy a couch to watch the game on. A COUCH!!!!! If all of this don't get ya moving they also pass out shots when Packers score. Brats are FREE and pizza too! I just can't stress the heartfelt warmth from these people. They love the Packers and they love their patrons too. If you are in the LA area and Greenbay is playing please take some time and check this place out. You will leave a much happier person. Side note: They should have shirts made.....size 2XL!!!!

This is a fun spot- the dj plays bangers. Its best to go late at night when there's more people there. But they have a cool back room with couches for when you just wanna chill and talk

The people were fun, bartender was nice, cool ambience. Drinks were a bit strong but nothing to complain about

My (soon-to-be) wife Annick and I went here tonight for happy hour for the first time and were lucky enough to get Kevin as our bartender! What a joy! Not only is it relatively chill on weekdays, which we needed, with delicious food and drinks, but Kevin celebrated our upcoming nuptials with enthusiasm and sincerity! Thank you Mom's Bar and Kevin! This will be our new local date-spot!

Local, buried beneath the permafrost -- wasn't even aware of its existence until now. Fridays and Saturday nights much like Another popular bar not too far off wilshire , this place gets super crowded quickly. If you don't want to wait in those amusement park lines, I'd suggest you get here before 9:30 pm. Same with the other. This place is cozy. Front -- very 'divey' except there's like a study/reading room with an astroturfed fireplace' tucked away in the back. Thrown into the mix is a patio area with lush astroturfed 'ivy walls' So there's a little bit of everything for everyone. However, Wasn't too keen on the crowd that night, nor the noise level. I feel this place definitely exceeded the capacity limit. dive bars with loud music and a DJ is not as good as a dive bar with an option for purchases at one of those 'everything' music kiosks. Might be willing to give this another try.

I came here for the first time on a Saturday day. Place was full and had great energy. The music was very good and the crowd was dancing and having a great time. Drinks were reasonably priced and the bartenders were friendly. I lost my car remote while there and emailed/called them the next day and Ben responded back that they'll have their janitors look for it. Thankfully they found it and Mom's left me a voicemail and email to let me know the status. Great follow up and hospitality- I'm a fan.

Cheap strong drinks with a laid back atmosphere. There was a DJ that played good music ranging from hip hop to old school. There is no dance floor per s3e but they clear out the front of the bar to make room for it. There is seating at the bar and at tables and there is a separate back area to sit. Overall a decent place to go to on a Saturday night...

Great place,.. drinks and ambiance! Friendly topless waitress Wednesdays are awesome!
