“THE MOST FAMOUS BAR YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF” Anyone looking for both a great place to eat and drink while visiting a Queens historical landmark will enjoy the historic Neir’s Tavern. The Woodhaven watering hole opened in 1829 and has been in continuous operation since then, except, of course, during Prohibition. The restaurant is popular with local residents and tourists alike. The management wants to show how the borough has “great places like these and not just chain restaurants,” said Loycent Gordon, owner of Neir’s. Of course, fans of Goodfellas and Tower Heist need no additional incentive to step into the tavern. Parts of both these movies were shot in Neir’s, something that Gordon is very proud of. Yet it is Neir’s historical significance that the tavern so endearing to Assemblyman Mike Miller. It is the oldest bar in the borough and Neir’s owners, along with the Woodhaven Historical Society, are working with the city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission so it will be declared as a landmark. Having this bar is “great for a neighborhood like this,” said Miller. “Its historical significance makes it special. By being on the list of the restaurant week, people will investigate Neir’s.” Known as “the most famous bar you’ve never heard of”, you can visit Neir’s at 87-48 78th Street in Woodhaven.
