What makes Mother special

Mother is colourful, purple and uncomplicated. During the week people sit at the bar with signature cocktails; at weekends the bar stays open later and there is dancing. The programme ranges from experimental DJ sets to drag nights. The atmosphere depends a lot on the night.
