About The Light Group
Pat Light, a former MLB pitcher, founded The Light Group in 2019. Since then, its restaurants and bars have become a staple part of New Jersey’s hospitality scene.
Its five Hoboken venues (Texas Arizona, Green Rock, The Waiting Room, River Street Garage, and McSwiggans) provide a versatile experience for locals, ranging from spaces to hear live music and lively sports bars to sophisticated cocktail lounges with themed events.
