Rowdy Hall is continuing its 30th anniversary celebration with its “1% for the East End” campaign, donating 1% of monthly revenue to a local charity or organization. In May, the restaurant is supporting OLA of Eastern Long Island, a Latino-focused advocacy nonprofit rooted in the belief that the entire East End community benefits from inclusivity, respectful dialogue, and shared accountability.

So far this year, Rowdy Hall has raised funds for a local high school scholarship, Hamptons Community Outreach, The Springs Improvement Society at Ashawagh Hall, and Group for the East End. To help them continue supporting vital community organizations, consider stopping in. Every burger, beer, cocktail, and dessert contributes to the monthly donation total. Happy eating!
