Cap's Place, Historic restaurant in Lighthouse Point, Florida.

Cap's Place consists of five wooden buildings constructed on a beached dredging barge that extends over the water. The structures are connected by walkways and create a connected waterfront complex designed for dining and gathering.

Eugene Theodore "Cap" Knight and Albert Hasis beached a dredging barge on a small peninsula in the Hillsboro Inlet in 1928 and built a restaurant on its stripped base, opened as Club Unique. It served as a speakeasy, gambling den and restaurant, with rum-running ties. The site took its L-shape in 1929, and in 1990 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The bar's counter is made of Everglades bamboo topped with old ship decking and set against a mirror. Its walls and ceiling beams are pecky cypress, and the room is decorated with objects found washed up on shore while the building was constructed. Curtained gambling alcoves were later boarded up, but their outlines remain visible on the walls.

The site at 2980 Northeast 31st Avenue has no parking except for handicapped patrons, so most visitors leave their cars and arrive by the free boat shuttle. The buildings sit on a peninsula between Lake Placid and the Intracoastal Waterway, originally reachable only by water. Slash pine and Australian pine buffer the north and south sides.

The bar's counter is a slab of Everglades bamboo topped with old ship decking and set off by a mirror. Its walls and ceiling beams are pecky cypress, and the room is decorated with objects that washed up on shore while it was being built. Curtained alcoves from the gambling years have been boarded up, but their outlines are still visible.
