Nostalgia comes in a can at this basement bar. Located below Sheppard’s Pet Supply in the Avondale Mills shopping center, Mom’s channels every ’80s kid’s childhood. Wood paneling, pinball machines, mismatched sofas and a fridge that stays stocked with beer are just a few of the highlights at Mom’s. “The idea [for the bar] came from the memory of hanging out in your parents’ basement,” says Patrick Nelson, who co-owns the bar alongside locals Rae Baker, Wes Frazer and Dan Drinkard. “It was just something everyone could identify with and relate to.” Because the bar was inspired by a simpler time, the foursome decided to go for a casual vibe with the bar’s decor and menu. Only serving beer and wine from the can, Mom’s makes us all long for the days of cutting up in the basement with friends — letting the hours effortlessly slip by.

QUIRKY QUIRKY QUIRKY. Play pool, darts, or pinball. Get your pics at the photo booth. Get a PB and J with your beer.

Karen's favorite dive bar. It's like a 70s basement with wood paneling and a pool table and arcades, covered in photos of patrons' moms. Rock n' roll.

Our local watering hole at the end of the street. Zero pretentiousness. Zero James Beard awards.
