I dont have enough words to describe how awesome this place was for my friends and I. We decided after seeing the christmas lights and people singing through the window that we should try this place out, and BOY we weren't disappointed. First was the bouncer, doing a heck of a job, busting an underage gal for using a fake ID. Then we go in and order delicious food, which was amazing. The drink names, and the actual drinks itself were phenomenal ( I would recommend moms juicebox). There was karaoke and everyone absolutely nailed it. Crowd was supportive as hell, and just wanted to sing along. Two days later we decided to go back and this time they had LIVE BAND KARAOKE. My friend got up and CRUSHED it on Creed-Higher. If you were there you'd totally agree. Again, the bartenders were quick, nice and the drinks absolutely killed. So good my friend bashed her head on the table when she was picking up her phone. Again everyone there sang their hearts out, were supportive and sang along. Lady was so nice in the bathroom and offered my friend a piece of gum, after puking up all the lovely drinks we drank. Moms place was a highlight from the best trip I have ever been on. Couldn't recommend it enough.

We came visited Chicago and stayed on the magnificent mile. We found out Mom’s place was very close to our hotel and we love singing Karaoke so we decided to try it out. We had so much fun and the bartender JR not only had a lovely singing voice, he was the best bartender! I would absolutely recommend checking it out!
