Montauk’s famous Surf Lodge is in trouble.
After receiving several complaints about noise, the East Hampton Town Hall hosted a meeting last week to discuss noise concerns and whether or not the lodge would have its live music permit revoked.
The Surf Lodge is a hot summer nightspot, usually featuring music on an outdoor deck. Residents complain about noise, traffic, and some even fear the club’s septic system isn’t large enough to handle the capacity in the club.
The council is currently only addressing noise concerns. The Surf Lodge took a sound engineer to the meeting, offering a soundproofing plan they believe will significantly reduce noise this summer.
Time will tell the fate of the Surf Lodge.
