Framptons was a venue operating in the early 1980s. It was previously known as The Waikato Motor Hotel. It was described by Walter Becker in Nexus as:
L.D. Nathans Framptons doesn't seem to have captured the imagination of anyone in particular. As a venue for enjoying rock music it hasn't worked till now.
