À propos de ce lieu Mother Lode

Mother Lode, at 8944 Santa Monica Boulevard, is the old-school gay dive bar on the West Hollywood strip. Drinks are strong and cheap by WeHo standards, the room is small, and the crowd is mostly local men, many of whom have been regulars for years. Go-go dancers work some nights. It's a quieter option than the big clubs on the same stretch, and it's busiest at happy hour and late on weekends. The bar posts its schedule on Instagram (@motherlodebar) rather than a website, so check there for current nights and hours.

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!

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.

Terrible experience with the bartender, his attitude was extremely rude and insult my friend when he left no tip for his nasty attitude.

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.
