Neir's Tavern isn't so much a bar as it is a monument to pop culture. Since opening in 1829—which, by the way, makes it the oldest bar in Queens and one of the oldest in the country—Neir's has seen a lot. Mae West gave one of her first performances on their stage (she used to live just a few blocks away); W.C. Fields frequently stopped in for a drink; and several scenes from Goodfellas were shot here (including the Christmas scene). But considering it's tucked away on a quiet residential corner in Woodhaven, it's not surprising that PBS once referred to it as "the most famous bar you've never heard of." In respect to its own storied history, not a lot has changed about Neir's over the years. The menu still showcases cocktails prepared just as they were 100 years ago, beer served cold, and classic American burgers.
