Venue Information

Since 1968, The Original Mother’s has been a Chicago favorite. With a capacity up to 600 people and a host of live music, dancing, DJs, an arcade room, LED pong, a martini lounge, karaoke ’til your throat hurts… Mother’s likely has just what you're looking for.

From our earliest days hosting bands such as Chicago, Cream, The Mekons, and The Velvet Underground to nursing house music out of its diapers, Mother’s has firmly established ourselves as an entertainment Mecca in the Gold Coast. The tradition continues today with live music every Thursday and Friday nights.

Featured in many movies but immortalized in the 1986 classic “About Last Night” with Rob Lowe and Demi Moore, Mother’s remains a place you can chill and have a few drinks.

Mother’s features a huge dance floor, a killer sound system, private party space for gatherings of up to 600 people, and party packages that’ll make your wallet happy ...
