Julius' is the oldest gay bar in New York City and a historic landmark deeply intertwined with LGBTQ+ civil rights history. Established in the mid-19th century, it played a pivotal role in the 1966 'Sip-In,' a landmark protest that challenged discriminatory liquor laws against gay patrons and helped shape modern gay bar culture. Beyond its activism legacy, Julius' offers a welcoming space in Greenwich Village with a storied past as a speakeasy frequented by jazz and literary legends.
