The Montauk Club is a private club open to all. The magnificent Club House was designed by the famed New York architect Francis H. Kimball, who was inspired by a palace on Venice’s Grand Canal. The Club House was completed in 1891 and its Venetian gothic architecture, carved mahogany woodwork and beautiful stained glass windows remain its signature features.

Today, the Club is a vibrant part of its Park Slope, Brooklyn neighborhood. Members organize a variety of events year-round. Recent events have included talks by local authors, jazz performances, a formal dinner to celebrate the Club’s 115th anniversary, and informal parties and dinners to celebrate everything from Bloom’s Day to members running the New York City Marathon. Book clubs are popular and the bar is always crowded for a Yankees series against the Red Sox, with just enough Boston fans to make it interesting.

In addition to Club events, the Club House is available to members for personal and business entertaining.
