Mothership

Mothership is a sci-fi tiki cocktail bar and fully plant-based restaurant in South Park, opened in August 2022 by the team behind the vegan restaurant Kindred. The immersive, crash-landed-spaceship interior won an Orchid Award, and while the rum-forward tiki list is the headline, the bar also runs a genuine, fully built-out zero-proof program: its menu carries a dedicated "Beverages" section where every drink is labeled zero-proof. Named alcohol-free options include the X-Ray (white cane NA spirit, lime, Szechuan peppercorn, spearmint, peppermint oil), Tracking Device (coconut water, coconut cream, lime, hibiscus), Baby Bird (Italian bitter NA spirit, blood orange, caramelized pineapple, lime, soda), and Mindchiller. Mothership ranked among Yelp's 2023 Top 25 mocktail spots in the U.S.

“For a good alcohol-free drink, I approach it the same way I would a cocktail. It needs to be balanced, have a good nose, solid presentation, and unfold on the palate.”

— David Kinsey, beverage director
