Crispy Onion Rings With Tartar Sauce
Kevin R.

Live jazz band Sundays , great vibe and amazing service. I couldn't ask for more for a spontaneous trip to Neir's Tavern. There was no complaint from anyone with any of the food! Definitely try them out if you are in the area, they have a lot of history !

One of the oldest operating taverns, famous for being featured in Goodfellas. Old school, dark wood, nothing fancy. I had the Goodfellas burger, which was thick, juicy, and tasty. The fries were well seasoned and hot. Drinks were basic, but good. Other options include smothered nachos, Mac n cheese, Bavarian pretzel, cheese quesadilla, wings, grilled chicken, grilled salmon. Great service. This is not a tourist spot. It's definitely a neighborhood spot.

Neir's Tavern is indeed the iconic spot where a scene of Goodfellas was shot. They have cheap good drinks & the classic old feel of a bar- what's to dislike? I got the Haymaker's Punch with rum which was quite tasty, I can see why it's a staple in their drinks menu. All in all, I'd be back for the burgers & other drinks.

Support black own establishment. The outside decor of the bar stood out to me. Looks like a big two family house. Love the outside seating of the bar. Upon my arrival it was pack. Full house. I order a margarita at the bar. Which was made freshly and taste great. Service was great.

History

A fun, historic place. Super laid back, great mementoes to look at on the wall. On of the oldest bars in town. Reasonable prices, too.

Passionfruit Margarita. Good and potent

So I was suppose to come to a Juneteenth event here but got the dates mixed up and ended up just getting an early dinner here. I sat at the bar and ordered from their happy hour menu. Place is quiet. The happy hour options are decent. I got a margarita and it was tasty and not watered down at all. Enough alcohol for me to just order one. I ordered the wings and mozzarella sticks, they were delicious and fresh. The fries were also good and plenty. I would come here for happy hour again. The bartenders were cool and it didn't take too long for my food to come. I just don't like to get charged for using a credit card but that is a common thing in NYC nowadays.

The NY skirt steak was delish. It was nice and tender and very flavorful. My wife got the goodfella burger as well as the Guinness. She enjoyed herself immensely. She likes smash burgers more but as for as thick burgers go, she said it's pretty good. She rarely compliments past it's ok. That's how I know it's good.

Neir's Tavern is one of those places that surprises you in the best way. I had never seen the movie it was featured in so I walked in completely clueless about its background. My friend lives just a block away and for nearly ten years he had wanted to check it out. Now that he is about to move he finally decided it was time to visit and asked me and another friend to join him. Going in with zero expectations made the experience even better. The bar is in a quiet residential neighborhood which is not where you would expect to find a place like this. That's part of what makes it so interesting. It doesn't feel like a typical food or nightlife area but that only adds to its charm. We went on a Friday night around 7 which was just after happy hour and there were plenty of open seats. The vibe inside was relaxed and welcoming. It has a classic look and feels lived in but not rundown. I ordered some nachos and other finger foods along with a cold beer. Everything was really good. It's nothing overly complicated just solid food and drinks that hit the spot. What stood out the most was how easy it was to just hang out and enjoy the space. The staff was friendly and no one made us feel rushed. It was nice to be in a place where people actually talk and enjoy themselves instead of being glued to their phones or caught in a loud crowd. Even without knowing the history or the movie scenes connected to it I can see why people love this place. It is definitely worth checking out and I am glad we finally did.

Neir's Classic Burger Deluxe
Notoya S.

The most famous restaurant that you've never heard of, Neir's Tavern. A beautiful space that feels like home the moment you step through the door. I had Neir's famous burger, cooked medium-rare, with onion rings. The lightest but most filling burger I've had in a while. I also haymaker punch and what a kick that drink has. The staff was welcoming and attentive. Highly recommended!

This place is absolutely amazing . The menu is small but excellent choices and it has such a rich history that can't be denied . Went there today for lunch and had the bbq wings they were great meaty and not rubbery like some others I've had and perfect amount of sauce . My friend had the neirs burger it was juicy topped with onion lettuce tomato and onions with delicious well seasoned crispy fries . Oh also had a Stella draft nice and cold . Go and enjoy take pictures and absorb its rich amazing history as they're on their way to 200 years !

So good I forgot to take photos of the food before eating it!

I was invited to celebrate a friend's birthday at Neir's Tavern in queens. I thought it was going to be a basic bar but to my surprise Neir's has so much history and has such a great vibe! The bar accommodated a party of 25 people; we had our own section in the back. I will say, it is hard to spot this place if you aren't looking for it. It's more like a neighborhood gem than a flashy bar on a busy street. It's wedged between residential homes. The servers were so nice and helpful! We ordered several dishes, the sampler plate which was quesadillas, chicken tenders & mozzarella sticks; chicken wings; Good fellas burger and nachos. The wings were so crispy and delicious! I heard the burger was also phenomenal. If I lived in the neighborhood, I can see myself going here often!

They host great comedy and trivia nights. The bartender Mike is very fun & knowledgeable. The food is always good--mostly typical pub fare, but very tasty. Fun neighborhood bar that's typically full of regulars, excellent vibe.

Have seen this place for a few years now and always wanted to give it a try but always got busy…read moredoing life. Finally got to try it! The place is charming not big but its really a fast food place not a restaurant. I tried their chicken sandwich and it was amazing! Service was ok and wait times for food were a little slow but nothing bad. Staff were friendly and they work their butts off! I think the only complaint i might have is i wish they had more variety of food, maybe a few simple entree's. Would definitely go back and eat here.

Very flavorful lamb burger with egg...absolutely loved it. Lamb burger was not over seasoned and…read moreallowed the lamb flavor to shine through. The buffalo chicken sandwich was VERY spicy but delicious. Crisp fries were on point. Wings were large and great crisp lemon pepper rub was just the right blend and the sweet chili was not 'hot' at all (which was great for me). I had the best mozzarella sticks ever with just right marina sauce. Absolutely excellent service. Place was not crowded and thus one person (Anthony) was all roles except the cook and was very expedient! It is a local neighborhood restaurant and thus the ambience reflects that....so while the chairs don't encourage sitting for long time and the outside does not scream come in, the music was really good and had us singing along. When back in NYC, will definitely return.

My grands kids, had a wonderful time and they understood the assignment! Which was to have fun. They were all over the place, winning tickets here and there, the excitement was everlasting! It's a big game room with tons of games and also tones of televisions. Those that didn't play the arcade games, watch the Knicks V 76ers. The service: One a person love what they do, they do it and the shine. O.T was our server. O.T was on point. Before you thought it, he was on it. It's like he has a sixth sense. O.T was very attentive and very engaging with not only my family, but with all of his other customers as well. O T interacted with my family and we loved it and him. I have never gone to a D & B or any other restaurant including CHUCK E CHEESE.. and found such an astounding person first, server second, and last but not the least; employee that fit the job description, rolled it over, flipped it twice, and conquered every aspect of customer service. O T should be employee of the century! The Food: I forget what my daughter had but there were no complaints, my granddaughter had Za, something that ever kid likes. My grandson is sd burger and fries. I should have had that but I opted for the sampler which consisted of pig n blankets, wings, and sliders. Every thing was really tasty but a bit too much for me. I was rescued by my granddaughter, she ate my last two pigs in the blanket. I guess she don't like blankets so she ate the pigs only. I don't think I'll be going to any other D & B, I mean when you've had the best service and all, the bar was set. Going anywhere else is below standard. Inspire more, Yelp more!

The salmon over hash brown , was lacking a touch of something , couldn't pinpoint what was lacking. Chicken and waffles, decent, wasn't the best I've had. Service- jonathan was our waiter during brunch and also our bartender. He's GREAT! During service dinner, we had a female waitress and I felt she lacked attention to details and couldn't flag her down when we wanted something. Overall, service is a hit or miss , I guess?
