Invite Friends to this bar:
This venue does a pretty good job of combining the best elements of a bar and a nightclub. The two levels both provide a dance floor and a lounge area.
Downstairs' bar is sheltered from the dancefloor and aside from the music level, could be an independent bar. The dancefloor is lit from below - very Saturday Night Fever.
Upstairs has a large balcony area which, in summer, is a great place to get away from the crowds boogying to commercial dance.
It's always tremendously busy here and you'll need to dress quite smartly to get past the bouncers (they will usually let suits in, although they're not encouraged).

Dave - 22/12/09 So funny reading comments on here by the losers been knocked back and still trying to get in. You only need to look at their names and language pretty much sums them up. One even admits that the have a hairy ass lol 4/5 innocent ;) - 07/01/09 HAHAHA oh golly, im not an annorexic mole with too much make up, im not a little rich girl, i have a certain standard when it comes to my personal HYGEINE and my appearance but hardly a pretenteous skank, and i've never had an issue with getting in... i prefer places like motel because if i lower my standards for even a minute ill end up in billboards (or somewhere equally as tragic) and innevitably end up being death stared by all the fat, outter suburban slappers that are clearly jealous of my ability to speak properly and maintain composure after a few champagnes. get over yourselves bogans. 5/5 smiles - 05/01/09 despite me rating this club an never been there before i just wanted to make a note to those who are complaning about not getting in an that u need to dress nicely etc! WELL have you people not realised that majority of club/bars are in fact looking for those who are dressed neatly an a little up town simply because they dont want slobs in there venues!! an to the guys who arent getting let in, did u ever think that theres already enough guys inside? and please think of the chicks who dont want to be walkin around consistantly being stared at by men! thanks ive had my say! =D 3/5 John West - 04/01/09 Its the Fish that John West rejects that makes John West the best.
never had a problem getting in. they reject groups of guys. if you come in with more males than females u will not get in. If you are poorly presented you will not get in, go to a pub or frost bites instead. 5/5 dicksuckcunt - 10/05/08 this is completly shit 0/5 Seanna 21/03/08 - 21/03/08 The club should be ashamed of it self from reading all the feedback I wouldn't and couldn't be botherd even thinking about going there I'm a model and club's like this put me off going out.
What happend to anti-Discrimination laws on people ??? beauty is more important on the inside SO this club needs to start CHILLING OUT.... 0/5 MOTEL IS GAY - 24/01/08 I don't have troubles getting in, but I must concur that the door policy and door man need to learn some manners and get some class and style.
I have had friends knocked back in a rude way when they are dressed nice and they are not ugly schmoes.
In summary, Motel can go kiss my hairy ass. 0/5 Jo - 17/09/07 LOL. This is hilarious! So many comments knocking the motel. One wonders why they bother? I mean if I got knocked back from a club, I wouldn't go back again. It means I'm not wanted, right? Go find somewhere else. Sadly most of these negative comments come from rival clubs promoters who are trying to knock off the top dog ;) 5/5 what a joke - 26/06/07 ok u know what it is bull that its members only like hw the fk do u get members..but who actually wants to go to a joint that is full of little daddy rich girls n guys who think they r fully sick with their super tight t shirts..ur all bunch of tossers..go blow ya self 0/5 hmmm - 06/06/07 got the usual "only members" bullshit. so asked him how i could be a member if he knocks me back everyweek? confused the bouncer so much he almost fell over. needless to say he said no. wankers 0/5 Annonymous - 07/04/07 Motel is awesome. We always have a mad time there.
If the boucers tell you its members only, its a nice way of knocking you back. They are fussy about who they let through the doors, but thats what makes it so good!!!
Girls get into clubs heaps easier then guys no matter where you go. Staff are wonderful, bartenders rock! 5/5 sticks - 08/03/07 number one 5/5 ruken - 30/12/06 bouncers suck
'members only bullshit' LIARS UGLY FILTH
NEVER GO HERE
WORST PLACE EVER
0/5 Angie - 12/12/06 there is only one part that is members only, the rest of motel is easy to get in to on a saturday nights! I was there last saturday and i had a great night. One of the only clubs you can go to when it's really hot because the upper level is half inside and half a rooftop area outside! 5/5 Whatver - 30/11/06 Well i have never been to the venue and i dont intend on going....I have tried to get in with my friends and as soon as we get to the door the bouncer tells us its members only..
I mean why is it only members on a Saturday...What happens if the clubs members decide to go elsewhere on a Saturday night and then all because of all of the knockbacks no body goes there anymore then they would have to close the joint.
Good I say...it serves them right....this is the only club where me and my friends have not been let in....I have never been to a place where the security is so rude and aggragant towards females....Unless Motel is now a gay club i dont know.
Anyway thats it from me......hope you close down soon and when you want to go to a club they tell you that its members only and dont let you in.
Regards
Whatever
0/5 Craig - 20/10/06 Ok place, Bouncers on 14 dollars an hour and little arms ruin it. 0/5 Barry - 13/10/06 Are they really going to do a top 40 night on saturdays ????????? what a joke !!!! 0/5 Dick - 06/10/06 Top place with cool people. There's some very good scenery, but it isn't at the expense of people being up themselves or stupidly drunk. Just having fun. 5/5 PIMP - 10/09/06 im reading comments and have never been to this club but am going to go. In general, women get into clubs more easily than men. My safe guard is come with a bunch of hot women or know people, bouncers, promoters etc. 0/5 Naomi - 25/08/06 Best place to go on Friday night in Summer. Fairly pretentious, but the good tunes and the awesome outside area make up for that. I've never had a problem with security, but I have heard other peoples stories...I guess that's just what you get when they want to keep the standard high. 5/5! 5/5 abbie - 23/08/06 Went there in the summer wat a perfect venue & set up, got there extremely late still managed 2 get in even with larger guy ratio, security were good to my mates and i, no dramas, been there a couple times since good but def cant w8 til summer again!
5/5 aaa - 11/08/06 a couple of years ago this place rocked..especially in the summer, a sunday nite was never missed, neva had a prob with security either, shame its no longer the same 4/5 Dogman - 07/08/06 Seriously rude. 0/5 first timer - 23/07/06 was my first time last night. walked in with 3 attractive women but am sure if i didn't have them i would have been getting cold!! but good joint with an ae set up. 4/5 Mazdameana - 19/07/06 well...i didnt mind it...APAP rocked the night i went and certainly rocked most of my friends' pants *wink*...although...the security really need to stop being such wankers...seriously, the "member's only" quote is soooooooooo unoriginal...other than that...HAVE A GREAT NIGHT!!! 3/5 lisa - 09/07/06 A great venue, stylish and funky with good lighting. Not too expensive, but some of the women are wannabe supermodels who will push past people even when there isn't a big crowd. attractive women but (some) with too much makeup and snobby attitudes. A fun place to go out with friends. I didn't find any problems with the security. 3/5 harmison - 26/06/06 Every one who complains about the security clearly arnt up to the standard go back to frostbites....motel has good women good tunes and get some pretty mad dj's 5/5 pompous pete - 25/05/06 Official headquaters of the Vacuous and dim witted.
Skanky chicks and spikey haired try hards congregate here on a regular basis.Favourite topic of discussion is Big Brother or 'are they Roy jeans'?
p.s Beware of the dragon print t-sirt brigade...they have been known to bore people to death! 0/5 john - 10/05/06 good when an event is on, otherwise pretty crummy 2/5 Mark - 03/05/06 I was one of those who got told it was members only night, so when i waited for two minutes outside, a mate walked by who i lined up with. He knew the bouncer and lo and behold, straight in... 2/5 Marcus - 14/04/06 Went last week; heres a summary
- Security; Arseholes, i mean dude ur earnin 14 bucks an hour to get into fights .... stop with attitude.
- Chicks; or should i say skanks.... this place somehow got a rep. for having decent women... all i saw was aneroxic moles with attitude problems and too much make-up 1/5 Kris - 12/04/06 I had a top night, but you get over having to yell to hold a conversation. The outdoor decking is ace! Pretty peppy crowd, have to dress well. No thongs :( 3/5 Fee - 09/04/06 Me and my friends have never had a problem getting in, and its awesome on Saturday nights - May Day!!! 5/5 Sash - 20/02/06 Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!!!
Motel wins the arrogantly, superficial "I'm sorry, members only" award which I firmly believe, should be presented to them at an exclusive gala event where, you guessed it, its MEMBERS ONLY!!!.
Preserve your dignity and go elsewhere
1/5 bam - 04/01/06 I've never had a problem with security, bu if your with some chicks the bouncers are fine. I know security though. 4/5 Jaime - 02/10/05 Gotta agree with the arrogance of the security, not a place to head with a group of people if you want them all to get in. Very picky and often strangely turns to a 'member's only ' night if the wrong person walks up to the line. 3/5 21/09/05 3/5 Matt - 30/08/05 It used to be my favorite place on a Fri or Sat night, I knew prety much everyone there but I heard it has changed quite a lot in the last 12 months. Perhaps I should go back for a visit and hopefuly they guys will let me in. 4/5 Con - 05/02/04 Good venue, better on sunday night but does get very busy. Security are very arrogant, only downer but otherwise good place with a good crowd. 4/5
