With close to 2000 bars, taverns, cocktail lounges and watering holes throughout New York City, it's no surprise that we're known as both "The Disney World of Drunks," and  "The City That Never Sleeps." 

But which of the roughly 1700 alcoholic establishments ranks as NYC's oldest? The Huffington Post produced a YouTube video recently outlying the confusion and controversy surrounding the coveted "Oldest Bar In NYC" title. 

The three gin mills trying to snag the claim to fame are McSorley's Ale House in Manhattan's East Village, Woodhaven, Queens' Neir's, as well as Fraunces Tavern in the Financial District. 

Now, McSorley's is supposedly from back in 1854, Neir's from 1829, and Fraunces'  from all the way back in 1762, so why the confusion? Apparently it's more technical than rumors and legend. 

Take a look at the video below for the complete run down of all the details. At the end, hell, decide for yourself which one you think is the "oldest," after all, you can get twisted at all of them and isn't that what really matters?
