Motiv is a nightclub located in downtown Santa Cruz where DJs play music for dancing on a large dance floor. Owners Mike Pitt and Jenine Leigh's started the space with a vision to create a nightclub where mature adults could enjoy dancing, drinks and dining. The nightclub is located on the first floor, and the restaurant, called Fusion, is upstairs in the space previously occupied by Pearl Alley Bistro. Motiv will also host occasional art shows, political discussions and other social events.
