Filming Location Spotlight | Yer Man's Irish Pub
/Broadway Stages takes pride in supporting the vibrant communities that host our productions. Our Filming Location Spotlight series highlights local shops, restaurants, landmarks, and venues where productions that call Broadway Stages home have filmed “on location.” We encourage our readers to explore and support these unique spots and join the film and television industry in helping sustain our neighborhoods' economies and culture! In this edition, we stop in for a pint at Yer Man’s Irish Pub in Glendale, Queens.
“The Better Sister” is an upcoming American thriller television series directed by Craig Gillespie starring Jessica Biel, Elizabeth Banks, and Corey Stoll. It is a gripping tale of domestic noir based on a novel by Alafair Burke. When producers wanted to bring this gripping psychological thriller to the screen, they came to Broadway Stages. The production of the television adaptation of “The Better Sister” took them to various locations including parks, markets, a yacht club, and a hospital. They also filmed at Yer Man's Irish Pub, nestled in Glendale at the heart of Queens.
Unlike the chilling tension of the story, Yer Man's Irish Pub offers a cozy retreat with authentic Irish charm. This neighborhood gem not only combines hearty dishes and the warmth of traditional Irish hospitality but also offers a welcoming atmosphere that makes everyone feel at home. Yer Man's is the right spot to gather, unwind, and enjoy.
A Menu to Savor
At Yer Man's, the menu is a delightful fusion of Irish pub classics and American comfort food. Start with the fan-favorite Shepherd's Pie baked to golden perfection. The Irish smoked salmon served on toasted soda bread with capers and dill is a refreshing choice for those seeking a lighter option.
Burger lovers won't want to miss the Yer Man's Burger. Made with a juicy half-pound patty, it's stacked with cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and a tangy Guinness barbecue sauce that has patrons raving. Pair it with their crispy, golden fries for a meal that hits the spot.
"The Shepherd's Pie was like a warm hug on a cold day. You can taste the love in every bite," wrote one Yelp reviewer. A Google review praised the chicken wings as "extra crispy and perfectly seasoned," noting they paired excellently with a pint of Guinness. Check out the menu here to find your favorite!
The Heart of Glendale

One guest shared on Yelp, "Sitting outside with friends, enjoying a pint and their incredible wings, was the highlight of my week."
Something for Everyone
Yer Man's is as much about the drinks as the food. The bar boasts a carefully curated selection of beers on tap, including Irish staples like Guinness and Smithwick's and local craft brews.
