The spot formerly home to Virgil's Sea Room officially traded in the boat for one that can go to outer space. Mothership is a sci-fi-themed cocktail bar in the Mission that has groovy lights, futuristic curved white walls, and, naturally, a dance floor. This place also has a big back patio with a hanging garden and lots of tables. The drink menu includes refreshing cocktails that are a step above the classics, like the Knee Deep with mezcal, chile ancho, and a Sichuan salt rim, and the Dinner Theater with tomato gin and vermouth. Mothership also hosts frequent DJ dance parties and special events.
