It was across from "The Old Soldiers Home" ruins that is now the bunny hill. I'm not sure but it may have also been called "The Barge". Hope this helps. O'Hara's was further up Passaic Ave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David Phillips Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Yes, there was a place called the Kearny Yacht Club. It was owned by my grandmother's brother, Jimmy Clark. My grandparents worked part-time there - as did my father when he was going through dental school. From the stories I heard, it was a great place. How do you know of it?

From the stories I've heard, it was a very popular club and some well-know bands got their start there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
