    a bar with red walls and stools
    Rudy M.

    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.

    Fruity drink that I don't remember the name of.

    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.

    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!

    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

    The bar in general.

    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%).

    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.

It had a cool vibe and tons of allocated bottles on the bar (tequila and whiskey and whisky to name a few categories). The staff greeted us quickly and supplied us with some menus. I opted for the Idyllwild cocktail and loved it! It had the most complementary flavors and was so refreshing with the bourbon, yuzu, chartreuse, honey, and lemon flavors. My husband opted for a neat Caballito Cerrero Puntas pour (high proof agave spirit). They only had 0.5 Oz for their bottle and only charged for the partial pour. People came in and ordered anything from cocktails to neat pours to flights. It was a cool spot and the bartenders seemed pretty well versed in different cocktails, giving a few suggestions to different patrons. Even making a few Espresso Martinis for a couple of girls that didn't really like their initial cocktails. Staff was cool, attentive, and pretty quick and efficient with the pours. I'd definitely be down to try more drinks here if we roll through again. Luckily, we found some close street parking and it wasn't super busy so we easily found parking in the area. It also wasn't super packed in the venue so we could've opted for other seating--lounge areas, a few tables, or just at the bar.

Everyone was extremely nice. I was recommended the crispy ahi bites, and it was so good, I would have licked the hosein sauce off the plate, but I'm a lady so I withheld the urge. The crispy rice was perfectly crispy, chewy, and delicious. Highly recommend it. The fish taco was perfect. Nothing special just good. I'll love to go back for brunch one day.

Most of the bars are dive bars in downtown Santa Monica, and parking is quite accessible for this place. So I'd recommend for that reason. In terms of the drinks, I'm a huge fan of cocktail but I would say their menu selections are a bit limited. Nothing in the signature cocktail looks interesting to me, so I had the bartender make a classic cocktail instead. He's very attentive and friendly, didn't take forever to get a drink either, no attitude. Drinks aren't watered down either. Nice! You come here to grab quick drinks when you don't feel like being at a loud dive bar in the area, it's in a hotel but not too upscale, no strict dress code. Music is not loud and they have couches and booth if bar table if not your thing, you don't have to yell or pretend you hear everything to hold a conversation here (lol). ** Keep in mind 20% gratuity is automatically included in bill, it's my first time here. But I think I've other spots I'd prefer to be in, even at Santa Monica. Wouldn't be self-motivated to come back because there are better places that specialises mixology, and there are also better upscale hotel bars to be at. But if you're around the area it's a great intimate bar for date night that's not overly pricey. Wouldn't travel all the way to here just for this (if you know what I mean).
