With hearty portions of chicken 'tendies,' a 1990s throwback chocolate lava cake, and shuffleboard, Mothership is open in Cambridge, down the street from Alewife station. It's an approachable, fun venue that feels like just what the neighborhood needs as more buildings go up and more residents and workers pour into the area.
The restaurant looks a little different from the early-2018 vision the team had planned (yep, it's been a long road)-a beer hall with 10 'highly curated taps,' plus food and games like shuffleboard, Ms. Pac-Man, and Golden Tee. (No pinball-Postal hates pinball.) The shuffleboard made it into the final plan; 'it's here and rocking,' says Postal. That's it for games at the moment, although Shirazi muses about the possibility of having some sort of boardgame corner for the kids one day. There's beer, sure-the opening menu includes selections like a Notch Czech lager and a Lamplighter IPA-but Mothership is definitely a restaurant, not a beer hall. And there's an exciting cocktail focus, too.
