Mother Lode

(124 Ratings)
No WeHo attitude in sight

Strong men drinking even stronger cocktails. Mother Lode dismisses the pretense of its neighboring bars by creating a mellow atmosphere with an easygoing vibe. 

A classic dive bar, this friendly hideaway is welcoming to all who are fun, and funky and prefer a no-frills, drama-free night out. 

Don't let this unassuming dive fool you, this spot gets downright packed and rowdy on the weekends so prepare to rub some elbows... and more with some great Hollywood gays!

There are a few bars in West Hollywood that don't necessarily feel like West Hollywood, if you know what I mean (it's a good thing). And Mother Lode is definitely one of them, and probably the best one. If you want to escape the craziness of The Abbey, or Mickey's or Revolver, come to Mother Lode and get your drink on. And buy me one while you're at it. Love it!!

Wonderfully Dive-y

Tasty drinks, friendly bartenders, down to earth clientele and some really good music and remixed videos; this place is great to chill.

Best drinks I weho!!!

Molo is one of the original bars in weho! It is a locals bar where men gather to drink play pool and chat . Tuesday and the weekends are the most busy!

Get a website, NOT a facebook link

Really disappointed by bars that switch there websites links to facebook. This requires a membership signup that really piss's me off. I didn't get in shape by spending my time in front of a pc or on an iphone. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS BAR, and all other facebook bars TO GO BACK TO HAVING A WEBSITE! Equality is all that I am asking. FYI 40% of us normal folk refuse to be on facebook, for various reasons. Google it! But I think that this bar would be a bar that I would want to visit when I come this December, IF IT HAD A WEBSITE.

Of all the bars I've been too, this one makes some fierce drinks. I think they try to kill you! You must stop here when you are in WeHo. Cash only but well worth the visit!
