This place is causing a real Fuhrer.

A new sports bar in Astoria is stirring controversy after it was revealed this week that it’s name shares an unfortunate connection with Adolf Hitler.

Wolf’s Lair quietly opened Thursday on the corner of 29th Street and 30th Avenue — outraging neighbors who called the name choice “distasteful” as it is the same as the Nazi madman’s Eastern European headquarters.

“Why would they name it that? It’s definitely not appropriate,” said B.B., a four-decade Astorian who stopped by the restaurant to view its menu before continuing down the street.

As any history buff will tell you, Wolf’s Lair — or Wolfsschanze in German — was a complex of bunkers hidden in the Polish woods, which served as Hitler’s eastern headquarters during World War II.

“Wolf” was a favored nickname of the genocidal maniac, and the headquarters is the site of the famously failed assassination attempt against the German leader portrayed in the Tom Cruise film “Valkyrie.”

But the owners of the sports bar swore they had no clue the name was affiliated with any sinister history.

“It’s not like it’s Auschwitz! I don’t even drive a German car,” said Tom Galanis, a partner in the restaurant who came up with the name.

Galanis claims the inspiration for the Wolf’s Lair was two-fold: he wanted to channel the loyalty and family-focused nature of the pack animals, while also celebrating his favorite MMA gym in England by the same name that has churned out several UFC champions, including Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

Plus, they hoped to bring in a “wild crowd,” pointed out waitress Enkelejda Oquendo.

Galanis claims he only discovered the name’s ties to Nazism this week after he erected the restaurant’s awning with Wolf’s Lair in giant block print — igniting controversy online and questions.

“You need a secret code and a secret hand salute to enter,” one user wrote on Reddit.

“They’re opening up a place around the corner called ‘Death Camp,'” said another.

Some neighbors suggested the name wasn’t a coincidence, saying the name was a “dog whistle” to lure extremists to the joint.

“That’s 100% intentional and I can’t wait to see the rebuttal from the community,” said yet another commenter.

The restaurant’s majority owner, Chris Kouvaros, did not know about the Nazi connection until mentioned by The Post on Thursday — saying he had simply liked the name idea when Glananis pitched it to him and hadn’t decided to look further into it because he doesn’t “know how to Google.”

When asked if it warranted a name change, Kouvaros said he’d have to consider it, but that it could take several months to fix.

Kouvaros and Galanis, both of Greek descent, were adamant that their new restaurant was an all inclusive space — and pointed to the international flags covering the front as proof.

They chalked up the concern to neighbor’s sensitives

“You could offend anybody over anything, really. Our our goal was not to offend anybody. The wolf is a majestic animal and the lair is where they hang out. Nothing ominous about it,” said Galanis.

Neighbors were mixed when approached by The Post about the bar’s name.

“They should change the name … That is going to bring a lot of memories to the people, whatever they’re going through. People know what the name is about,” said Victor Hulgiun, a Mount Sinai technician.

Josias Pana described the name as “distasteful,” adding that while he wasn’t planning on going to the spot in the first place, he wife had been talking about trying it out.

“She probably won’t want to now,” said Pana, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic who said he was hopeful the name was simply a language barrier mistake.

Angie M., an Astoria resident of 20 years, didn’t care much about the name — deciding to give the owners the benefit of the doubt.

“I could understand if the writing was more of a German type, but to me it looks like its just a sports lounge,” she said.

“I don’t think it was done maliciously. I get the whole concept, it’s alpha men hanging out … People get offended over anything. Anything to complain. I stay to myself because people tend to make mountains out of molehills.”
