Great for brunch
Great for creative cocktails

‘Motel No Tell’ is a single bar divided into a few different sections, and each section has a similar connection with the theme. It has a 1970s feel with diner style booths, velvet gold-trimmed furniture and Art Deco light fixtures.

Whether your birth date was in 1960’s or 2000’s you’re gonna feel welcome. Come hang out, grab a tasty cocktail, sample our Neapolitan style pizza out of our imported Italian oven, sit on velvet fabric from the famous ‘Gramercy Park Hotel’ while you meet up with some friends and have a laugh!

Bring a group, claim a couch or two, or hang out near the bar and make new friends while watching a live band. If you want to hang out in the equivalent of a “roadside motel” with a fully stocked bar, Neapolitan pizza and a disco ball start making plans now.

Experiences

Motel Brunch!
Multiple dates available
Dive into our Poolside Package—$25 gets you 90 minutes of sunshine, good vibes, and all the drinks you could want (or need)! Choose from an espresso martini to wake up your senses, an Aperol spritz to keep it light, or a Bloody Mary if you’re feeling extra ‘morning’. We've got everything from mimosas to pilsners to make sure your brunch is just the right kind of wild. Plus, an entree to keep you in check—at least for a little while!
Motel Happy Hour!
Multiple dates available
Take a break and grab a drink at Happy Hour! Monday through Thursday, we’re serving up the best deals from 4-7 PM, and on Fridays, we start the weekend early from 2-7 PM. Great drinks, no excuses—come make your week a little brighter!
Motel Trivia Night!
Multiple dates available
Check in, drink up, and test your questionable knowledge at Motel No Tell’s Monday Night Trivia—where the wallpaper is loud, the drinks are strong, and the answers are probably wrong. Step into our vintage ‘70s wonderland, grab a cocktail, and prove that your brain still works after the weekend. This party fills up fast, so a reservation is always a good idea—unless you like living on the edge. Winners get prizes, losers get a consolation dance, and everyone gets a damn good time. See you at the front desk… or the bar. Same thing.

Aifa and her coworkers were amazing! They were on top of it never letting us or anyone’s drinks go empty while dealing with a super busy brunch service. Thank you ladies!

The food was very good, the drinks were good! The service was great in the beginning but towards the end, it became slower.

Reserved a big table for my best friend’s bday and they kicked us off the table after 1.5 hours even though the confirmation says you get the table for 2 hrs. They were nice about it but also couldn’t help us find a spot and so we were suddenly a party of 10 with nowhere to go. Sucks because the place is cute and drinks are good. Would recommend to come with just 1-2 other ppl, before 7pm and sit at bar.
