Nice big spot to get your drink on and have a great time!…read more A group of us ventured out to Mom's Place after a few in the group had been before and wanted to go back. This was about 3 weeks before Christmas in 2025 on a Saturday night. As soon as you walk in and up the stairs, you are greeted by a ceiling hung Christmas lights display like you've never seen. It has to have been a nightmare to put these all up or, God forbid, have to chase down a bad bulb! I'd have to assume that these are up year-round. But look closely at the ceiling for all the additional bits-and-bobs hanging about. Several saxophones and other instruments along with statues and other "things". You could spend all night just walking around looking at the ceiling. There are several TV's, tuned to sporting events during my visit, to choose from. When we arrived, it was moderately busy. Throughout the two hours we were there, it probably tripled in capacity. But still comfortable. A band had been setting up and you never know what you're going to get with a cover band. I wish I knew the name of the band because they were great. Guitar, Bass, Fiddle, 3 Female Singers and I believe the Guitar player was singing periodically. I've seen and played in a lot of bands over the years. It's sometimes hard to pull off the multiple singer thing, especially when applying vocal harmonies. Again, I hate that I don't recall the name of this band because they absolutely crushed it. Their vocals and sound were tight and on point. Great band. It was Dec 08, 2025, if that's any help. There's also a downstairs but I didn't go down there. Some in my group did and they said it was more of the same, so I didn't give up my real estate that I was comfortable in and stuck where I was at. Would I go back? Yes. Great spot with good drinks and great people working the bar. A plus, for me, was that they had the real Strongbow Dry Cider, in the black cans, which is difficult to find in the US anymore.

Reservations and communication with the staff were superb. They're so responsive and courteous. I hope my further feedback serve as a suggestion to the owner because this place has a lot of potential to be a 5 star bar. Here we go... the sound system was not amazing. The loudest volume for the room was not sufficient for what it holds. We had the largest room (for 40) and with the sound system the way it is, people talking, laughing, and sighing are all competing with each other almost equally. The second feedback was the in room service. We had a party and had to order everything at the bar instead of having a server check in on us if we want to order more bottles, drinks, and food. They could have had a lot of opportunity to make a whole lot more if we didn't have to walk out of our room to order. Overall, a great experience and everyone had a great time. Thanks, Theme House!

An affordable, fun night with friends awaits you!…read more You book a room and utilize YouTube on the TVs in the room. If you're smart, make a YouTube playlist ahead of time to shuffle through to save time searching on the clunky digital keyboards. At least in the rooms we've booked over the years, you get 4 microphones that come with sanitary covers on them. The rooms and multiple bathrooms have always been clean. Something that shines here is the food!!! Seriously...some of the best fries in the city. We always get multiple rounds of snacks and they are brought directly to your room. The rooms get ridiculously hot no matter what month of the year you go. Definitely recommend wearing light clothing & bringing portable fans to make it more comfortable.

The room that is meant to accommodate up to 25 people, in my opinion, feels small and would be able to accommodate COMFORTABLY 15. There were about 10 of us in the room and it felt nice and spacious but it was getting hot despite using their fan, so I couldn't imaging the room being filled with 25 total people. The food selection was awesome; we got Korean army base stew, fried chicken, corn cheese, fried rice, tteokboki, and a bunch more and it was all absolutely delicious! They have a great selection of pop songs as well. Afterwards, the server was able to help me itemize the receipt and separate the check so that it did not include alcohol purchased to ensure it was work appropriate; we greatly appreciated their help!

There was even a group of 4+ girls who sang together on stage, and the energy was so infectious, it got the whole bar yelling the lyrics along with them. Would highly recommend!

What surprised me most was how welcoming the atmosphere felt -- people were cheering each other on during karaoke, and it created this upbeat, easygoing vibe that made the night even better. Drinks were well-made, the music kept the room energized, and there was always something going on that pulled everyone into the moment. Even with the place getting busier later in the night, the staff stayed attentive and kept everything running smoothly without making anyone feel rushed. I also loved how organized the karaoke setup was. Being able to add songs without waiting around made the experience feel seamless, and it helped keep the energy flowing. It's the kind of spot where you can unwind, have a laugh, grab something tasty, and forget about your week for a while. All in all, it turned out to be one of those unexpectedly great nights out. I'd absolutely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, relaxed place to hang out and enjoy some good music and good company.
