Ear Inn - James Brown House
New York, NY · Restaurants and Bars
The Ear Inn, once known as the Green Door (its nickname during the Prohibition), was a late-18th-century home originally constructed for James Brown, an African-American and George Washington's aide during the Revolution. Over the years after that, the building housed a bar, dining room, Prohibition speakeasy, boarding house, smuggler’s den and brothel. Witnesses have reported many ghosts here, the most often seen perhaps being Mickey, a sailor's apparition. The name Ear Inn comes from a neon sign that said BAR but was painted to read EAR instead.
