Great enviornment, wonderful cocktails, and amazing service! A friend and I stopped by after seeing their happy hour deals and were pulled in by the ambiance. The decorations were so cute for Halloween and the energy was very fun and relaxing. 10/10 definitely coming back for a longer stay next time!

If you’re looking for a unique and unforgettable experience, Motel No Tell Bar is the place to be! From the moment you step inside, you’re transported to a retro haven filled with eclectic decor and a vibrant atmosphere. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between cozy and lively, making it an ideal spot for both a laid-back evening or a fun night out with friends.
I've been coming here from the opening and will be coming back until the day I die. There's plenty of cheeky boys in there to have fun with and the drinks are sumptuous and strong as hell. The owner's girlfriend was there one day and she was sooooo fun, I hope that I see her everytime I go there.
All the employees are super kind and attentive. They create the most welcoming atmosphere ever. I've never waited more than 3/4 mins for a drink. And the shots are always flowinggg. If you want to have a good time, please come here.
BEST BAR IN EV! If you haven’t been to Motel No Tell, then you are truly missing out!!! I come here by myself and as well as with friends and have never felt alone. The staff are immaculate and make you feel at home. The food, cocktails, and atmosphere knock any East Village bar out of the water, and I’m continually impressed how Motel has captured the hearts of many. Whether you need a good laugh and some Guinness or to turn up with some Brat Punch, Motel has your back for every occasion. This bar truly gets to know its locals and welcomes new ones daily. Oh, and don’t forget to snag a hug from the 6’7” Irish owner…they are simply the best:)
Espresso martini was amazing and vibes were just ????

I’ve been coming here since Motel no tell opened. The staff has always been super friendly and made me feel at home. But tonight was just weird. I was ordering drinks next to two girls, and one of them claimed to be the owner’s girlfriend. She was bragging about how she drinks here for free and even asked me how often I come here. When I said I’ve been coming since they opened, she accused me of lying because she’s never seen me before.
Things got even stranger when I started chatting with the other girl, and out of nowhere, the “owner’s girlfriend” literally inserted herself physically between us and asked who I was despite us already talking. She then told me to leave them alone. I was completely thrown off because we were just having a friendly conversation. In fact, the other girl even commented on the strange behavior of “ The owner’s girlfriend”.
I waited over 15 minutes for my drinks, only to find out they’d been delivered to the other end of the bar without anyone telling me. The whole thing felt so unprofessional and left me really confused. After coming here regularly for a while, I’m not sure I’ll be back after this experience.
Edit: The owner, Who has always been super gracious and Very hospitable, right before this incident happened, had introduced this woman as his girlfriend, Drawing a professional connection. This was not just a patron. It was someone connected directly to the bar and who was making that connection well known.

We really liked the bar; it has a cool vibe and is nicely decorated. We went for a friend’s birthday, who had reserved a section of the bar. The service was good, and while the food was quite basic, the noise made it hard for us to stay for too long.

I had my 30th birthday party here and it is such a great venue . The staff was able to set up a portion of the bar for our party and was really accommodating with decorations and our cake . Couldn’t recommend this space more for a party !
Wow, I don’t even know where to begin. TLDR: you must come here as you will no doubt have a wonderful time, no matter the occasion or day/time. The staff: I couldn’t speak highly enough of the employees here. Everyone from management to the food runners are absolute gems and will make it their personal responsibility to ensure you have a great time. Hilarious, fun, and genuinely kind people, I’ve never seen an establishment so fully staffed with amazing humans. The food: surprisingly delicious for a bar. The pizzas specifically stand out as impressive- they have a proper brick oven in the back and the chefs are trained on making proper pizza. But the other items are just as good- the burgers, the pasta, even the plain fries. 15/10 The bar: the atmosphere is just good vibes all around. Super fun decor and plenty of room to mingle or play music bingo on Tuesday nights. It gets pretty busy and loud weekends but it’s a great time with good music.
I had my 25th birthday here & we had the best time. Drinks are great & the food is yummy. The staff is very friendly.

Cute, good service, good food. Nothing fantastic, but casual and fun. The AC blew down on me so hard, I had to move to another side of the table. I have a hard time believing this doesn't happen to every person who sits in that seat.

I love the vibe here! The decor was very on point and the bathrooms were so cute with different phrases on the mirror! The motel n out burger with animals fries is soooo good!! It is basically like an in-n-out burger just a little thicker which i find better! Also got the nachos which were phenomenal! Prices for the happy hour drinks were great especially for the beverages! So happy I came and looking forward to stopping by my next trip down to the city with friends!
