Rowdy Hall Celebrates 30 Years Of Business With A Community Initiative
In celebration of its 30-year anniversary, Rowdy Hall is launching The One Percent for the East End Giving Program. The locally owned East End restaurant will donate 1% of its monthly revenue to a rotating local charity serving the Town of East Hampton. One Percent for The East End is designed to create a simple, meaningful way for guests to give back—by dining at Rowdy Hall. Increased support from the community directly increases revenue, which in turn increases the monthly donation—making the initiative a true win-win for local organizations and a long-standing local business.
“Restaurants are more than places to eat and drink. They are welcoming, gathering spaces where people and families come together to celebrate life’s milestones, remember loved ones, support local organizations, and strengthen the sense of community that brings neighbors together. By supporting Rowdy Hall you’re supporting our community. As we begin our new chapter in Amagansett, our goal is to give back to the people and organizations that make this community so meaningful to us. Every time a neighbor dines with us they’re helping to support the nonprofits and local groups dedicated to preserving and caring for the Eastern End of Long Island—month after month throughout 2026,” shared co-owner Mark Smith.
How the Program Works
For each month in 2026, Rowdy Hall has selected an East End nonprofit or local community organization as the monthly beneficiary. Rowdy Hall will donate 1% of that month’s revenue to the selected organization. Beneficiaries will be announced monthly with opportunities for community members to learn more about each organization’s mission and impact. Guests, local supporters, and visitors are encouraged to participate by dining with friends and family at Rowdy Hall in 2026, helping to give back and express appreciation for the community we live and work in.
