Hudson’s Mill Tavern
History is at the heart of Rockland County’s newest restaurant, Hudson’s Mill Tavern, in Garnerville. Executive Chef Peter Muller and his partners, Dan O’Kane and Joseph Sparta, embarked on a renovation project to bring the building, a former textile mill at the Garner Arts Center, back to its earlier glory. The work, which took more than three years to complete, included restoring all the original woodwork and removing 20 layers of paint to reveal the Haverstraw Clay brick walls underneath.

The county’s history and multi-ethnic heritage and diversity also are reflected in the menu. Italian, Asian, American and Latino dishes, all utilizing locally sourced ingredients, are offered, which means diners can savor everything from pasta agilo e olio to steak sliders with bacon jam and apple pie (made with apples from The Orchards of Conklin in nearby Pomona)—and wash it all down with a craft beer from a rotating menu of local brews on tap.

Hipster Vibe Transforming Garner Historic District

Brewery, Tavern, Coffee Roasters — Making Garner Historic District A Tourist Draw

By Tina Traster

For more than a year, Jason Poole struggled to find industrial space in Queens for his startup beverage company Kojiya. Landlords and realtors, he discovered, didn’t want to rent to startups. He even tried working with the Queens Economic Development Corporation.

“Landlords were looking for a year’s worth of rent and prior sales,” said Poole. “I gave up on Queens and googled ‘industrial complexes’”.

Up popped Garner Historic District – the game-changer Poole was looking for even though he’d never heard of it, or Haverstraw for that matter. This year, he signed a two-year lease for 6,300-square-feet to manufacture koji, a traditional Japanese seasoning and curing agent used to make a fermented rice drink. He’s been building out the space for the past six months and plans to launch in January. Eventually, he plans to open his doors to tours and tastings.

It’s not very often that new businesses get the opportunity to surround themselves with a historical presence as soon as they’re ready to open. For Industrial Arts Brewing Company Proprietor Jeff O’Neil, this became a very fortunate reality when he chose the Garnerville Arts & Industrial Center as the base of operations for the new brewery. The Center was declared a historic site by the New York State Preservation League in 2012, as some of the buildings in the factory complex predate the Civil War. O’Neil and his team have worked tirelessly to combine its old-fashioned exterior with modern technological brewing equipment in fascinating ways.
