Montauk Club

The Montauk Club was the perfect venue for our wedding--our friends and family are still talking about what a wonderful time they had.

To start, the throwback setting is beautiful with the dark woodwork, stained glass windows, and gothic architecture...full of character; the opposite of the boring, sterile hall or hotel ballroom venues.

The service was wonderful--Sarah is amazing and she went above and beyond to help us not only the day of the event but every step of the way! She helped by supplying sample floorplans and even helped me visualize by moving the tables around one evening in preparation to finalize our plans. The bartender, Antonio, went above and beyond to accommodate our not so easy to find special craft beer requests which was greatly appreciated from two self proclaimed beer snobs, ha. The floor captain and servers did a great job and were very accommodating. Sanya responded timely to all of our emails and ensured our vision for the evening was carried out.

The food was amazing! We weren't sure what to expect when we signed the contract as you cannot taste the exact food on the wedding menu, rather when you become a member of the club you can go for dinner and try various things on the menu to get a sense of the food and what is good. While it would have been nice to try beforehand, the chef far exceeded our expectations. We chose the pork tenderloin and the beef sirloin which was carved by the staff. Both meats were outstanding, full of flavor and very tender. We substituted the salad with the truffled macaroni and cheese which was the best menu decision. It was so delicious, some of our foodie guests actually emailed the Montauk Club attempting to get the recipe! The Chef also went above and beyond providing delicious cheese and cracker plates in the bridal suite so we wouldn't get too woozy from all of the champagne. This was much appreciated.

The only negative of the evening was the temperature in the club once the dancing started. Unfortunately, the air conditioning had not yet been serviced so it got pretty steamy when we were tearing up the dance floor. There is also a noise ordinance so windows could not be opened in excess. The staff were as accommodating as possible though bringing in fans to cool us off.

All in all, I highly recommend the Montauk Club for a wedding venue. We were extremely pleased after a most memorable evening : )

I'm not a member, but recommend taking any opportunity to attend a party or other event here. Walking inside this stunning brownstone makes you instantly feel transported back in time. The wood-paneled rooms and stained glass windows give the place an old-time-y, elegant feel, like there might be a bathtub full of gin hidden in some secret back room. There aren't many places like this in Brooklyn.

i got married here in 2009 - what a romantic venue. add candles everywhere and you've got instant glam.

In the crowded Brooklyn culinary and cocktail market, it is nice to have a place to call home. If ever there was a Brooklyn version of "cheers" where everyone really does know your name and you can relax as if the grand ballroom was an extension of your own home this is the place. Focusing on details like food, drink or decor (all excellent) miss the big picture - this is a social club - a place to gather with friends, make new ones, and simply relax. You're wallet is not good here, but your signature is. This club fulfills most of my social "big night" calendar covering holidays like Halloween, Winter Cocktail season and New Years with black tie events. You need a certain vision and agreeableness to enter a small pond such as The Montauk Club, but therein lies its charm.

The location is perfect and the aesthetics are wonderful. The staff needs a bit of prodding; bartends are a tad slow and the manager's communications are inconsistent. Nonetheless, we are members and hoping a replacement in management will turn this place around. We are fully enjoying the Dances of Vice events which are SURE to put this place back on the map!
