Nestled within a 300-year-old Dutch house at 91 West Clinton Avenue, The Spring House in Tenafly serves up not only great bites + craft drinks but also a touch of ghostly charm.

Jonathan\u2019s enthusiasm for the tale was contagious; his smile never faded during the conversation. Carli\u2019s first question set the tone: \u201cWell, tell me\u2026spill the beans. Is there a ghost in The Spring House? Friendly or not?\u201d Jonathan\u2019s answer was immediate: \u201cOh, this ghost, or spirit, I like to say, is friendly, and I have a personal connection to her.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-230249\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-4-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-4-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-4-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-4-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-4-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-4.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/haunted-locations-bergen-county-nj\/\">A Guide to the Haunted History of Bergen County<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jonathan shared that he acquired the space at 91 West Clinton Avenue in 2021, envisioning a school-like environment. The building soon became a community hub where children and families could gather, learn, and explore through classes, \u201cmommy and me\u201d programs, and other <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/things-to-do-fall-bergen-county-nj\/\">activities<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Jonathan, Children wandering the space would whisper to one another, \u201cHave you seen her?\u201d Jonathan initially wasn\u2019t sure what they meant; kids have vivid imaginations, after all\u2026but the story repeated itself often. The little ones seemed to be talking to someone invisible. While such encounters might feel eerie to some, Jonathan embraced the presence, believing in the essence of spirits and welcoming the positive energy that seemed to linger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-230248\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-3-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-3-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-3-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-3-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-3-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around a year later, several potential buyers approached Jonathan as the children\u2019s center was struggling. Yet letting go of the building, or perhaps the spirit he had grown fond of,\u00a0 just didn\u2019t feel right. Instead, he joined forces with his business partner Eddie, closed the old program, and envisioned a new gathering space for all ages. The Spring House was born.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>A New Chapter<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the renovation, Eddie and Jonathan unearthed relics tucked away in corners: newspapers dating back to the early 1800s, objects resembling bones, and other mysterious artifacts. \u201cReally crazy, spooky stuff,\u201d Jonathan recalls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eddie, the creative mind behind the restaurant\u2019s design and a <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/historical-homes-bergen-county-nj\/\">history<\/a> enthusiast, dove into the building\u2019s past. He discovered that the Demarest family and its Lyle branch originally built the structure in the 1790s. The original owners, John S. Lyle and his wife Julia, were multimillionaires in their time. Jonathan paused with a knowing smile: \u201cMy name is Jonathan, I go by Jon, as you know, Carli, and my wife\u2026 well, her name is Julia.\u201d Centuries later, the space continues to welcome individuals with the very same names, a detail that adds an almost eerie resonance to the story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-230247\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-2-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-2-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-2-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-2-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/spring-house-tenafly-nj-2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Spring House is now a bar, <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/toughest-restaurant-reservations-bergen-county-nj\/\">restaurant<\/a>, and event space.
