What is the happy hour at Motel No Tell?
Motel No Tell is an East Village bar and restaurant done up like a 1980s Palm Springs motel, all neon signs, a diving-lady sign and vintage poolside kitsch. The kitchen turns out Neapolitan pizza, small plates and sandwiches while the bar leans hard into frozen and tropical cocktails.
You will find it at 210 Avenue A near 13th Street, a quick walk from the First Avenue L, not in Bushwick or Ridgewood despite the vacation-mode branding. Between bottomless weekend brunch, midweek trivia and bingo nights, it plays as a full-on themed hangout rather than a quiet cocktail den.
The Happy Hour
Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 4 to 7 PM, and Sunday it goes all night from 4 PM to close. The deals cover $10 poolside frozen cocktails, $10 select cocktails and margaritas, $9 select wines, $6 select cold beers and $10 margarita pizzas, so you can pair a frozen drink with a pie for the price of a couple of cocktails elsewhere.
The Room
A playful multi-section space channeling a retro motel: neon signage, diner-style booths, velvet gold-trimmed furniture and Art Deco light fixtures under a palm-print, poolside theme. It is bright, campy and built for a fun night out.
