About this location
Neir's Tavern runs 4 a.m. to midnight at gate 32 on Terminal 8's level-three row, opening half an hour after either Pret a Manger stop near gates 4 and 44 and closing well after both, which shut at 10 and 10:30 p.m. It's a pub with a full bar, the only one among the gate-32 cluster that also includes Alidoro, Bagel Boss and BKLYN Blend — those run sandwiches and bagels rather than table service. The near-midnight close covers Terminal 8's last inbound arrivals of the night.
