(718) 762-2727 – www.fillmorestavern.com
Fillmore’s Tavern was originally a simple two-story building built in 1912. The kitchen is still in the same place it was all those years ago. A lot has changed over the past century, but the tavern is still loved by locals and visitors alike. Fillmore’s has been groundbreaking in a lot of ways from allowing women to sit at the bar as early as 1968 to hiring an underage bartender back in 1972. That bartender later bought the tavern and named it Millard Fillmore’s. They have hump day specials every Wednesday, happy hour every Friday, superb burger options and specials during games on Sundays. Fillmore’s also has a variety of events throughout the year.
