We've had a pretty boring weekend of decluttering and answering emails, so we decided to take a break and check out Fugitive Motel in Bethnal Green.
I've wanted to go ever since I heard the name, but even more so when I spotted their retro Americana decor.
We sat in a diner style booth with a motel vacancy sign that you could turn on or off depending on whether you wanted company.
Not being the designated driver, I ordered a margarita and felt guilty that Tom couldn't try one of the 16 craft beers they had on tap, though I did offer to get him a 6 pack to take home.
It was then time for pizza and I had the tuna pizza with red onions and olives while Tom had the marinara with artichoke, anchovies, olives and capers.
As well as pizza and beer, there was a shuffleboard table and the cornhole games room where you could toss bean bags into hoops.
