200-year-old bar was home to 'Goodfellas' and Anthony Bourdain | New York Post

Welcome to Neir's Tavern, the most famous NYC bar you've never heard of. The unassuming Queens watering hole dates back to 1829 and was featured in an iconic "Goodfellas" scene starring Robert De Niro. "Nothing has changed [since 1990]. They could literally do 'Goodfellas: Part 2' here," owner and retired FDNY firefighter Loycent Gordon told The Post.
The historic pub also got the "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown" treatment in 2017, a year before the chef's untimely death. It's no wonder that Neir's is the subject of the premiere episode of "Best Kept Secret Bars of NYC: Sticky Floors of the Big Apple" hosted by comedian Mike Cannon. "It really is a destination," Gordon told Cannon. "You gotta really want to be here."

Bars used to be a massive part of the community, its a shame most of them are dying out. Governments needs to take the tax off for pubs.

[@stephensamuel4674]

They need to take the tax off most things. Especially property tax

I tended bar at a Yacht Club in Ohio (I understand the irony), where the bar was made of Honduran Mahogany, in the design of a Chris-Craft boat. They installed it in the 1980's *I think*.

Why do Americans say theyre irish when they aren't? Its utterly ridiculous

Lived out here in NYC for 7 years, as an Englishman, often they introduce themselves and then say what part of Europe they "come" from. Odd.
