MONTAUK, NY – Nestled along the Montauk Highway at the East End of Long Island, New York, lies the Memory Motel. This small and unassuming establishment, at 682 Montauk Highway, has become an iconic piece of local lore and Rock & Roll history.

In the spring of 1975, the Memory Motel gained international notoriety when The Rolling Stones had chosen this location as a momentary retreat. Music icons, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, along with the rest of the band, spent time rehearsing for their upcoming “Tour of the Americas” at the nearby Andy Warhol-owned Eothen estate. The motel’s name inspired the Stones’ song, “Memory Motel,” which appears on their 1976 album, Black and Blue, immortalizing the motel as a place in music and local history.

Beyond its musical connection, the Memory Motel remains an active establishment and has evolved into a year-round destination for those seeking a taste of Montauk’s vibrant nightlife. The bar posts operating hours, late night into the early morning hours of 4 a.m.

Today, the Memory Motel stands as a historically iconic piece of the local Montauk landscape, cherished by locals, tourists, and celebrities alike.
