Mother is the worst place in Shoreditch. The music is bad, it's a scary atmosphere with intimidating people.

Terrible....I went there on a friday night and it was very dark and grimey and not only did it take the best part of 15 minutes to get served the drinks were rather expensive too. Alot of nasty people there all very drunk adding to an already bad atmosphere. My girlfriend had her hand bag stolen aswell which pretty much ruined the night. Probably won't return as there are better bars in the area.

If you look at how old the reviews are on this page. All I can say is IT'S CHANGED! It is the worst place. Overpriced drinks (£3.80 a pint/ £8.80 Double vodka/ £12.40 D/Vodka and Red Bull). And it closes at 2am. The only good thing about it is that it's sometimes free. And good to go for a little boogie when you're already drunk and there is nowhere else open.

This venue used to be called Mother because an older lady used to play excellent funk and old skool music regularly on a Tuesday - it was a good old knees up with people dancing on tables etc. Unfortunately, this is taking me, and the club back a fair bit and it has long since lost its charm. In saying that however, Mother is still good on a Sunday night.

Mother is a cool bar full of lots of interesting lights and groovy seating. There's a club downstairs if you fancy kicking on past closing, but this is a pretty upbeat venue. Mother has a huge range of drinks and cocktails but be prepared to wait when it's busy.
Arrive late so you're not the only ones there.
