Hot spot
Great for brunch

‘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.

Get down to Motel No Tell before 7pm on a weekday for a happy hour of unmatched proportions. What better way to wrap up the workday than with the finest value in the city. Pints, Pina Coladas, Pizzas... It doesn't get much better than that!

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.

Excellent food and drinks, great service! A bit loud indoors on the weekends, so keep in mind if you want to have dinner conversations. They were able to seat us outside, which was quieter. Overall lovely experience! I have been here several times before and the staff is consistently friendly and accommodating.

On a Saturday evening, it was extremely loud - very very boisterous - a pretty young East Village crowd - this is a fun, young, loud, loud, loud restaurant. As 40-somethings we were probably the oldest people inside by a decade. It's okay, we survived. The spicy rigatoni (chicken added) was a simple dish that was absolutely amazing. Hit the spot. Easy meal. Decor is kitchy, fun, amusing. Nice place. But one of the loudest places I've been to, in the city, ever. Kids are loud, what can you do? And by kids I mean, 20 somethings.
