Mother Lode

After yesterday's flight, I was looking for a place to relax, and I'm so glad I ended up here. It was exactly what I needed after a long day of traveling. The atmosphere was welcoming, the music set the perfect mood, and the staff made me feel right at home. Everything was top-notch, from the service to the overall vibe. I left feeling refreshed and happy. I definitely recommend this place!

Staff was very rude and laughing at us to the side. They kept trying to blow fake smoke at us to make us leave, but people were already leaving because the vibes were so bad. Every time they asked us a question, they walked away and whispered to themselves and laughed. 0/10 experience. Guys in the photo were the ones being jerks to paying customers.

Absolutely terrible experience at Mother Lode. The short bartender with bleached blond hair gave our group attitude from the second we walked in, then actually threw our friend’s phone instead of handling the situation professionally. I’ve never been someone who skips a tip, but the behavior was rude, aggressive, and completely unprofessional. Definitely not the welcoming vibe you expect from a gay bar. Won’t be coming back.

Horrible experience. The short bartender with the buzzed blonde fried hair was incredibly rude and disrespectful to me and my friends all night. I placed my phone on the bar for a second to record us, and instead of asking me to move it, he shoved it and made it fall. His attitude was aggressive and insulting the entire time. Management seriously needs to address this because employees like this ruin the experience completely.

Not happy doing a negative revue on any venue but they advertise as open until 2, yet they throw customers out at 1:50. I could see others not happy about this. The security people are quite vocal. I was personally told to drink up and get out. Surely, there’s no need for that. Felt like they were all bored and just wanted to go home. I actually really like this venue but the staff are ignorant. The barman with the floppy hair has zero customer service skills. I really loved the music and all the video screens but I’m grateful I don’t have to frequent this place. Whoever is in charge needs to motivate their team. 🤷‍♂️ Just my humble opinion 😒

One of my favorite bars in West Hollywood hands down. Still a good vibe with that slice of dive bar energy. The service is sensational and the drinks are...

The bartender refused to make my drink order because i had not tipped him and he claims that tips are required. Low class!

Another great gay bar option in West Hollywood when you're in the area. It used to be a dive, which I liked, but it's much nicer now.
