“People ask why I called it Montauk. And
it’s a fair question. What drew me in wasn’t
the location, it was the feeling. When I
stood in Montauk for the first time, there
was something effortless about it. Salt-
washed, quietly weathered, and
completely at ease with itself.

Jacobs Well gave me that same feeling.
Same kind of air, same kind of people. And
just like the original, this tavern sits at the
very end, nowhere else to go but the
water. That felt right to me. Like a place to
pause, belong, and just be.”

If you ever feel like sharing a thought, an
idea, or even just a story from your time
here, I’d love to hear it. You can reach me
