The pub was known for its traditional menu and its elite clientele, including political figures, prominent businesspeople, writers, and entertainers. Neary's was founded by James Joseph "Jimmy" Neary (September 14, 1930 – October 1, 2021), an Irish emigrant to the United States. Jimmy Neary emigrated to the United States at the age of 24 from his birthplace of Tubbercurry, Ireland; he bought his boat ticket by buying lambs from gambling winnings, breeding them, and selling them. When he first moved to New York City, he worked as a porter at the New York Athletic Club. He was then drafted into the United States Army and served in Germany. When he returned he worked as a bartender at P.J. Moriarty's until he opened his own pub. In 1966, he married his wife Eileen Twomey. On Saint Patrick's Day, March 16, 1967 (1967-03-16), Jimmy opened his eponymous pub with Brian Mulligan, who was also a bartender, at 358 East 57th Street. In 1986, Jimmy purchased the building. Neary's was described as an upscale establishment. Jimmy Neary required male customers to wear jackets and barred t-shirts and shorts. The bar had a traditional pub menu. Its most popular items were lamb chops with mint jelly and corned beef and cabbage. The pub was best known for its notable regulars, including political figures, prominent businesspeople, writers, and entertainers. Customers were drawn by Jimmy Neary's work ethic and personality, as well as its long-time bartenders and waiters, including Jimmy's daughter Una Neary, who worked at the pub for most of her life and continued working there even after becoming a partner at Goldman Sachs. The pseudonymous food critic Brooks of Sheffield, writing for Eater, called Neary a "faithful and attentive owner". Neary worked every day of the year except for Christmas Day, when he closed the restaurant. Jimmy was short in stature, and many customers referred to him as their "favorite leprechaun". The New York Times wrote that Jimmy's "hospitality ma[de] everyone feel like a regular". Jimmy Neary died on October 1, 2021(2021-10-01) (aged 91). The Archbishop of New York, Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan, presided over his funeral at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
