Mother Lode

Not happy doing a negative revue on any venue but they advertise as open until 2, yet they throw customers out at 1:50. I could see others not happy about this. The security people are quite vocal. I was personally told to drink up and get out. Surely, there’s no need for that. Felt like they were all bored and just wanted to go home. I actually really like this venue but the staff are ignorant. The barman with the floppy hair has zero customer service skills. I really loved the music and all the video screens but I’m grateful I don’t have to frequent this place. Whoever is in charge needs to motivate their team. 🤷‍♂️ Just my humble opinion 😒

My favorite bar on the blvd in West Hollywood! Some of the best music and videos. Good, friendly diverse crowd of patrons and always a fun time there. Friendly bartenders, thanks Jeremy. When Tony goes on the dj decks you know it's gonna be a fun time. Always a fun theme going on at the Lode! Cheers to you all

The bouncer, manager everyone was awful. The bouncer obviously did not like me for some reason. Maybe I reminded him of his younger mother lolll. It was so strange. I was talking with my friend outside for a little bit and then I tried to go in and he was like you’re way too intoxicated. Im not a big drinker and literally had had one drink the entire night. I told him that and he was just like you’re not getting in you’re not getting in and I was like this is crazy. This is gay weho. These arent exclusive clubs 😭. The manager came out and handed me a bottle of water and was like we’re not letting you in, sweetie. They were really condescending. I was like I’m a grown woman. I’m 39 years old. You don’t have to call me sweetie. He then made fun of my vintage 80s jumper and was like what’s going on here youre unbuttoned. Meanwhile, bro, had his shirt completely unbuttoned down to his belly button, exposing his hairy chest. I pointed this out and he got all flustered and flounced away. Lots of bitter men that run this place.

This bar is always a part of my bar crawl whenever I'm in West Hollywood. Mark makes my drinks exactly how I like them and has an awesome personality. They are more than doubling the size of their patio, so people watching will be even better. Don't let the construction scare you away. They are open for business!

A cozy gay bar in the heart of weho featuring good music and music videos, affordable and strong drinks, and great service!

my first time coming here at motherlode, i love it. I came here once for pride and it was packed. ill come back here again 😊

My experience at this bar took a disappointing turn, leading me to change my review from five stars to one. One of the bartenders behavior was unprofessional and aggressive and I already reported him hope his behavior gets better next time he needs to respect people and STOP assuming everyone is drunk and treat them bad you should know BETTER.
