Mother Lode

Mother Lode

Mother Lode, Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA, USA

Mother Lode is a West Hollywood staple that has withstood the test of time. This laid back bar with pool tables and video games has a low-key dive atmosphere, where there's none of the attitude you might find in some other places. Whilst the bar has kept its original character, it's remained at the top of the list of cool places to visit, with cheap strong drinks, lovely staff, and an energetic crowd drawn in for the party.
