Julius, Bar is a historic establishment located on the corner of Waverly Place and West 10th Street in New York City. With roots dating back to the mid-19th century, Julius' has been a popular spot for sports figures and celebrities since the 1930s. In the 1960s, it became known as a gathering place for gay men, and played an important role in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
In April of 1966, members of the Mattachine Society organized what became known as the "Sip-In" at Julius', challenging New York State Liquor Authority regulations that prevented bars from serving drinks to known or suspected gay men or lesbians. This event was part of a larger campaign to clarify laws and rules that inhibited the running of gay bars as legitimate establishments and to stop harassment of gay bar patrons.
Today, Julius' continues to be a beloved neighborhood pub and bar & grill. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly, with a diverse crowd of locals and visitors alike. The menu features classic pub fare like burgers and fries, as well as a variety of beers on tap. Whether you're looking for a casual night out with friends or want to soak up some history while enjoying a drink, Julius' is definitely worth checking out.
