Our vision when Fugitive Motel was set up in June 2019, was to build a community focused food and drink brand that would put genuine choice and authentic hospitality at the heart of what we do.
Inspired by the spirit of U.S motels and mid-century design, Fugitive Motel is a multi-dimensional destination bar with striking personality.
The genesis of what would become Fugitive Motel developed over a number of years between Founders, Liam Tolan and David Burgess.
With two other old school friends, the pair would take annual trips away to the world’s best beer destinations. A quest for discovery, became a kooky obsession for the latest drinks trends, with ideas picked up from across Europe and the U.S helping to hone their vision.
The Founders are backed by a shareholder group who passionately share their vision.
