Julius'

This decades-old favorite never stopped being fun. The cash-only dive that’s widely considered the oldest gay bar in New York City has been slinging drinks to a mostly male crowd since the 1860s, and in the 1960s, the clientele began skewing queer after a “Sip-In” led to the state Supreme Court declaring that “well-behaved homosexuals” could not be denied service. Today, the jukebox at Julius’ blares as gay forefathers and Gen Z twinks slam down drinks and snarf fried foods in perfect harmony. Fortunately, the “well-behaved” restriction no longer applies in the 21st century, so all bets are off for what you’ll witness.
