Chelsea Living Room, the martini-forward New York lounge known for its caviar service, has packed up its champagne buckets and headed east. The spot has taken over a summer residency at Gurney’s in Montauk, with a seasonal pop-up that opened Memorial Day weekend and brings its champagne-and-caviar energy plus late-night programming to a dune-side lounge on the East End.
Gurney’s Montauk confirms the partnership on its dining page, listing “Chelsea Living Room at Dune Lounge” as a new cocktail and music experience beginning May 23. The residency is folded into the resort’s broader summer lineup, and the Memorial Day launch was also highlighted in an event listing on Hamptons.com.
Menu And Caviar Service
The Montauk menu sticks to Chelsea Living Room’s formula of sharable, polished bar food. On the roster: Crispy Cheese & Caviar, Wagyu & Caviar Toast and a Caviar Spaghetti built for the table. There is also a dedicated caviar service, with Royal Ossetra and Kaluga by the ounce, plus martinis and snacks, as laid out on the Chelsea Living Room menu.
Late Nights, Reservations And Where To Go
This is very much a nightlife play. The Gurney’s Sound Waves calendar folds Chelsea Living Room into its weekend programming, with listed sets and late-night DJ slots tied to the residency. For those plotting a caviar-and-martini run, reservations and table availability are handled via the Montauk booking page on SevenRooms, which shows the local hours and location details.
Why Montauk
The residency lines up with a larger Hamptons pattern of city venues decamping to the East End for summer. James Lane Post has already pointed to Gurney’s centennial programming and its slate of seasonal pop-ups. In its roundup of the Chelsea Living Room debut, The Manual described the New York original as “an NYC shrine to caviar,” which neatly sums up the focus of the Montauk outpost.
For now, guests can expect martinis, champagne service and caviar-forward sharables on select nights through the summer as Gurney’s fills out its dune-side schedule. Availability tightens on busy weekends, and both the resort site and Chelsea Living Room’s booking page carry the most current lineup and table options, so planning ahead is highly recommended.
