Mother's Pub

One of the better bars in Ames. It has a real Cheers feeling to it. I'm no longer a regular on the bar scene like I was 20 years ago as a student, but it seems I always bump into someone I know when I go to Mother's.

I was so sad when I'd heard the Boheme closed, but Mother's is a great bar.  There are pool tables and TVs, great drink specials, well drinks served in Mason jars, and a surprisingly decent beer selection.  I have a musician friend who plays there frequently and it's a good space for a show.
