Editorial Review for Mother's Tavern – by Sarah Schmelling

In Short
Harleys line the outside of this neighborhood tavern, which is located just a few blocks from the beach. Inside, expect a rough-edged, but casual charm, with decor ranging from a mounted deer's head to a stolen stop sign and dollar-bill covered walls. Check out the jukebox, which is fully stocked with top selections from the '60s and '70s, as reasonably priced beer fills pitchers and mason jars and peanut shells crunch underfoot.

User Reviews for Mother's Tavern

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

11/03/2005 Posted by scottdickinson

You never know what awaits you when you walk in. Could be just a bunch of beer swilling locals hanging on to the bar, or it could be a... couple of off duty strippers performing an impromptu strip tease, or a first time female patron performing her "mandatory" (if she decides to play along) hanging of the bra ritual. One thing you typically aren't for long is bored.

Pros: Beer, Flashers, Women

Cons: Parking, Cash Only, No ATM

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

If your looking for a fun place to hang out with cheap beer, a jukebox, a dartboard, and lots of crazy people, then go to Mother's. The place is a local landmark. If you're feeling frisky, feel free to add pictures or underclothes to the wall.

Pros: Fun, Cheap, near the Beach

Cons: Small, Smoky
