Filming Wraps At Popular Montclair Bar, Reports Say

MONTCLAIR, NJ — One of America’s “Bars of the Year” is set to reopen in Montclair after filming reportedly took place there this week.

Tierney’s Tavern at 136 Valley Road in Montclair recently announced that it would be closing on Monday and reopening on Friday. The beloved local bar didn’t elaborate on the reason in their social media post.

Multiple reports have since said that filming is behind the closure – in particular, a production featuring Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, NorthJersey.com reported.

A crew member told Montclair Local that the filming involved a production about musician Neil Diamond.

Jackman and Hudson are playing a married couple who form a Neil Diamond tribute band in the upcoming musical drama “Song Sung Blue,” Variety reported in October.

Tierney’s Tavern was recently named by USA Today as one of “America’s “Bars of the Year.”
