Mum-friendly watering holes
Unless your mum's Madonna, the hottest bars in town can sometimes seem like an inappropriate place to take the old girl for a drink or two. There are plenty of places for a cosy cocktail or a warming glass of vino that won't cramp your style or make her feel uncomfortable. Wherever you go, just make sure you head out a little earlier in the evening and be sure to select a venue with plenty of seats, less wild drunks and music that won't thump deep in her chest cavity.

The Local Taphouse
Darlinghurst
|
If your mum is partial to an icy ale in the evening, this is the perfect spot for a celebration. The interior is sweet and unpretentious, there's a decent bar menu and countless beery options to test out. Ask the knowledgeable staff for a taste of something different: a chocolate-flavoured beer perhaps?

Bar Lourinha
Melbourne
|
As relaxing as a European getaway but as close as Little Collins Street, the best seat in this bar is the window bench, perfect for people-watching. You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting a bevvy but we recommend settling on something red and exotic.

Pause
Balaclava
|
For crafty mothers with an eye for creative decadence, this bar offers cosy cushions and Middle Eastern opulence. Just don't go ordering the Bitter Bitch cocktail - it probably tastes great, but in times like these, it's probably best to stick to a French Martini.
