George is related to the Neir family of Woodhaven, Queens, NYC.[3] He is the great grandnephew of Louis Neir, former owner and namesake of the famous 190 yo bar in Woodhaven, Queens, NYC called Neir's Tavern. Located near the Brooklyn border, it's one of the few old drinking establishments that has been in continuous operation (except during the Prohibition) in the same location. A young Mae West used to dance there and likely first performed in its ballroom. In 1990, Neir's was the setting for the film Goodfellas starring Bobby DeNiro, Joe Peschi, Ray Liotta and Lorraine Bracco. In 2013, Tower Heist with Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Tea Leoni and Alan Alda was filmed there. In 1898, Louis Neir bought the The Old Abbey and added a ballroom, the first bowling alley in Queens county and upstairs rooms calling it "Neir's Social Hall." The Neir family ran the tavern until 1980 and although the bar was renamed at the name, the current owners reverted the name back to Neir's Tavern.[4] A great video on this historic tavern can be found on YouTube at [6].
