This painting shows the Greene Street Boat Club along the Morris Canal’s Little Basin, with Manhattan in the distance. Built by local residents in the mid-1960s, the club featured handmade wooden docks.

By the 1960s and ’70s, the Little Basin was home to this community of fishing enthusiasts, with homemade docks, small boats, and houseboats. The club remained until the state ordered its occupants to leave in 1983, and demolition followed.

Light Horse features exposed brick, oak-plank floors, soaring windows, and a long mahogany bar that give the room the character you see today.

Dating back to the 1850s, our building has been a neighborhood tavern, a speakeasy during Prohibition, and part of Paulus Hook’s history for generations. Bill Gray and Ron Smith restored the space and opened Light Horse Tavern in 2002. We’re proud to carry on its history as a place for the neighborhood to gather 🏛️
