"Julius is my favorite gay bar of all time. It’s low­key, it’s high energy , it’s supes cheap , & they make a phenomenal cheeseburger ." - Anne Ishii, writer, editor, translator, founder - Massive Goods Read more

Jerry C

The oldest gay bar in NYC . Around so long it's a hip dive again. Julius' has the widest age range of clientele, from twinks to men probably here when it first allowed gays in the 1960s . Great burgers !

Stina P.

one of my favorite bars in nyc and site of "sip in". they serve burgers and cheap drinks and have good tables to sit at

anthony G.

The oldest, and arguably, nicest gay bar in New York City . The food is great, the drinks are decent, but please leave your straight friends elsewhere, unless you're having a birthday(!). Thank you.

Buford Barnes

Established as bar 1864 in building from 1826. Allegedly oldest Greenwich Village bar and oldest gay bar (since 1950s). Site of gay activist 'sip ins' in the 1960s .

David Leszcynski

So fun to visit the oldest gay bar in NYC . Fun atmosphere , strong drinks , and cute men. What's more to ask for?

Mike Nickerson

Low-key & divey gay bar in the heart of west village . Strong drinks and laidback, casual vibe .

Chris Phillips

Community minded gay bar - for everyone. Great burgers on a beautiful block of the West Village . Classic.

Nate S

Split mozzarella sticks with that guy you just met up at the bar .

Esquire

Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Sure, it's a gay bar , but this dingy old survivor is more masculine than 90 percent of the straight bars in America.

Mark J.

Great local crowd , cheap strong drinks , and a great dose of civil rights history. One of my new favorites.

Jipsta

Fun crowd and super strong drinks ! And of course, still serving the burgers and fries you need when you want a bite!

Thiago Noronha

NYC oldest gay bar ! Decent priced drinks and awesome hotdogs for 2 bucks.

"Sure, it's a gay bar , but this dingy, loose-hinged old survivor is still more masculine than 90 percent of the straight bars in America. If Eugene O'Neill and Tennessee Williams were drinking..." Read more

Not only do they have the best burgers , they have sports in tv , great jukebox , and you can actually have a decent conversation with some interesting people:)

Edward Bohan

There are outlets throughout the bar where you charge your phone.

Brian Masefield

For the older crowd (average age last night was around 55), but fun, casual , non-cruisy, with seating and a 80's jukebox .

Hunter

Good burgers , mellow atmosphere

Andrew Cerda

You don't have to press "P" to play your song. Just the artist and song number. See teh sign for more info.

Treat Bill and Tracy like family - they are. Wonderful place and the only calm #gay bar in #NYC.

Julius is a great place. Not sure who made the mistake of hiring WILL the "so called cook". It's not hard to wear a smile.
