"A femme-centered queer bar in the Mission, Mother is where to go when you’re looking for the spot with the most suitable suitors who also so happen to love purple lighting. Music is pumping at just the right volume, so you can hear the character you just met who also has seen the Harvey Milk documentary projected on the wall. Everyone here always seems to be down bad, and with cheap, (cash-only) drinks it’s a great place to stop by in hopes of meeting your future lover. " - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1
"Mother in San Francisco is reimagining the genre of queer bars by combining warm community spaces with impressive drinks." - BySam Stone
"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
"Mother opened in early 2023, becoming the city’s first new lesbian bar since the Lexington Club, which opened in 1997 and closed in 2015. Vuong soon became a regular at the lavender-hued lounge, sipping beers from women-led breweries." - ByMelissa Kravitz Hoeffner
