The owner Helen is such a gem - thank you for supporting and fostering such an inclusive, safe, and welcoming community. Knowing your bar exists gives me peace during an increasingly scary time. Thank you for all you do.Also, CLEANEST bar bathroom ever, and the staff is so kind and respectful. 12/10!

I came to this establishment with a friend on 9/11/24 and we sat down at a table waiting to be served for more than 30 minutes and there was very little traffic here. HOWEVER, FOUR White patrons who came in after us were served within seconds of sitting down. Us two Black men were totally ignored the entire time and we were very DISGUSTED!!!. Please do better Julius! Youve already come from very racist beginnings.

A bit crowded - we had to wait a bit to be sitted - I guess its linked to their success. Because the place is great 👍 We had the best time, for our first time in a NY gay bar. The bartenders (both) were the Nicest!!! So friendly, funny and helpful (thanks again for that, guys!) Burgers and fries are delicious 😉

The oldest gay bar in NYC and the most friendly and welcoming. Food is better than youd imagine... We have dinner at the bar about once a week.A gay bar where strangers actually talk to one another.

I can no longer recommend this place for burgers. It costs $22 for a bacon cheeseburger and fries — that’s ridiculous! It’s not even that good anymore like it used to be. The fries aren’t seasoned. Neither is the burger. The service isn’t great either. The only thing this place has going for it is the atmosphere.

THE neighborhood gay bar in the village. An institution. Strong drinks, good food ($12 bacon cheeseburger? Yum for a bar burger!), and good crowd. Some of the bartenders need a little flagging down from their phones, but… eh. Go-to west village gay bar 👍

Every burger comes with a side of pride and history. Love this place. 🫶. So glad it’s been a slate-wart(hate that word). The drinks are good. Reasonably priced (all things relative) and they make a mean burger. If you go at prime time it will be packed so place ur food order early! And try and belly up at the bar. That is where you get to see all the action take place

Review №21

My friend and I went to Julius bar to hang on the night of 9.11.24. The guy preparing the food informed us that we could sit at any open table of our choosing for service. We chose one of several open tables at the rear and sat there for about 25 minutes. During that time two other parties arrived, sat and were promptly served by the server who passed our table each time to take and bring their orders. Not once were we acknowledged by him or asked for our orders. We couldn’t help but notice how promptly service was provided to those guests who arrived after us. We also noticed that those guests were White. We found this rather upsetting especially since we’re both Black and the server was a POC himself.Finally, disappointed, we decided to leave the bar. On the way out, I told the cook that we were seated back there all the while and no one ever came to take our order to which he replied: “Really? Sorry.”

Review №22

I’ve taken a lot of treks across the city to end up at Julius. The reason is the people, the history and the cheeseburgers. Come here and talk to folks while sitting at the spot of a pivotal moment in queer history (the Sip-in). And order the cheeseburger:)

Review №23

They attend you quickly, it is an ancient gay bar, this bar has his history. The hamburguer and the chef was good, like really good, I take out the onion because it is not cooked, but the hamburguer and the natural fries are good. They charge you for the pickles 😅 take a note for that.The gay beer was refreshing and neat. I recommend it.You found locals from the area and pretty handsome people around.I would love to come back.

Historical. Gay. Vibe. It’s a friendly local bar to end your day and start the night. The bar food is hearty. The staff are fab. The crowd are mostly partnered New Yorkers trying to be SJP or Samantha from SatC but half of them probably don’t know the reference. But it’s definitely a vibe.

Review №25

POSSIBLY HAS BED BUGS!! I found a bed bug here last night. I gave it to our server and they said they’d “clean”. We tried to bring it up again, and all the staff and manager were extremely rude to me and my friend, whose birthday it was. They gaslit me, saying “there are no bugs here” when I literally found one and put it on a napkin. I don’t know if there are bed bugs there or the bug came from somewhere else, but definitely very concerning for all the staff to have such a knee-jerk defensive reaction to discredit me and act like what I saw wasn’t there. I had previously had very positive experiences at this bar. I am a queer woman, not a gay man, but I had seen Julius as a safe space for all queer identities and felt that. Now I feel differently. Emotional manipulation is not okay with me, and I feel that I was treated differently as a queer woman, that the staff saw it as easier to patronize me since I’m not their main clientele and also was relatively quiet and not making a scene over finding the bug. it’s extremely upsetting to have had this experience in a place I used to think highly of. Also, they seriously might have bed bugs so watch out.

Ive been here before with my IDNYC. TWICE. But today they said that they are not gonna let me in with it, even though I have proof of my age on it. Who even takes a passport to get in? Employees were rude, and they didnt even listen. How is it possible that I used to be able to go inside with this document and now I cant?

Review №28

That security guard old man with dark skin who ask customers for their I.D at the front entrance door rudely & aggressively put his fingers on my arm & my sweater before telling me that I need to show my I.D. It almost like hes holding me back or pushing me back from entering. Before that, I was standing & walk slowly! Then the guy rudely & aggressively put his fingers on me. I was about to show him my I.D at first but I quickly change my mind & leave without saying anything because of his attitude! I was also hurt too. That is so disrespectful from him & I felt disgusted by him. Terrible customer service! Not only that but also his attitude too! He should get fired for aggressively putting his fingers on me before letting me know that I need to show my I.D! Unacceptable! Definitely not coming back!

Review №31

My favorite NYC bar since late 60s. Bartenders can be great or attitudes...pending on the gossip they accept or their busy day...but you overlook it for the mingling relaxation. History, yes. Winter is a bit stiff ling inside with the fry grease as the kitchen is in the midst of the bar. But that is part of its charm Cheap eats to go with drinks. A favorite if a friend wants to meet up. For mingling...it is a tight tunnel..hard to negotiate. It is the place to go !

Review №33

I went here for a visit as I was told my a friend that they have the most under rated and in her opinion, the best burgers in New York. Naturally I had to give it a shot.I was served by an elderly gentleman, who was ok but perhaps needs to work on his customer service skills if hes going to be the face of the food at Julius.I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings. The thing I always look for in a burger is meat quality. In this case I wasnt asked how I wanted it cooked, so naturally I was weary. The came cooked well done with a thick enough patty. The meat quality wasnt bad but fairly average for something that has been labeled the best burger in town, which many of the reviews emphasize. But being completely honest I was let down because of my expectations, but still found it quite satisfying. It was just a simple mouthful. No frills, no thrills, just a good burger. Regular bun, no brioche, no pretzel. But at the same time the combination of the raw onion and lettice with the cheese, bacon and burger together was still great and difficult to get nowadays with places constantly trying to elevate burgers.The onion rings were really good but a bit greasy. They combined well with the array of sauces they had to offer, particularly the honey mustard.Perhaps 3 stars is harsh but Ive taken all into account. I can definitely see how they may be more appealing after a few beers but unfortunately I didnt have the assistance of alcohol behind my judgment on this occassion.

Julius bar is a jewel. A hark back to a gay world that has disappeared otherwise. Hole in the wall, lacking in any pretense to chic, and friendliest bar in town.The bargain basement burgers are perfect for the environment. Not a first date bar, unless youre in your 50s, or youre a twenty-something couple with a feel for nostalgia.If you dont know the password for the Monsters cover-charge night, Julius is the next best bet, and even possibly a primary go-to.

This place I guess is the oldest gay bar in New York City. Unfortunately, they are taking advantage of that and the drink prices are outrageous. My husband and I stopped in on vacation and ordered a Titos soda and a Captain/diet and it was $24 or 28 just for two drinks!! The food is actually pretty cheap and tastes really good and they hand cut all of their french fries so that part was great but the drink prices are ridiculous. We went to a couple other gay bars, including Gym bar and Ty’s bar and the drink prices were less than half what they were at Julius’.

I didnt know about the historic significance when I visited and I wasnt there long however, I like the way it felt. It felt like a place with a lot of stories and quite a lot of character. I loved the fact that they have a little grill up in the front and it smells delicious 🤤😋 If I wasnt headed to dinner with the friends I met there I would have suggested we stay and have something to eat. The thing is it was very crowded especially for Wednesday night. Next time Id like to just sit relax and have a drink and soak it all in. This would be a perfect place for medium to visit.

Came in from Denver and staff let me know they were not open for 15 minutes at 3:45 (open now on Friday at 4:00pm on 4/1/22) and thanked me to leave the premises while it started raining/windy. So glad i contributed during the pandemic to keep this establishment open to a staff that can’t even host visitors for 15 minutes during bad weather. I guess the business is doing so well it’s not worth just welcoming patrons in and ask them to wait a few minutes while they get ready .. at least they were polite.

Been here many times. Lots of locals and full of characters! Happy hour, jukebox, food available and tables on the front and back. History on the walls as well as older patrons telling stories. Fun place!

Rarely have I been to a bar where the team spreads such a friendly atmosphere. And an extra praise to the supercute chef who made us happy with his yummy food. Well be back.

Oldest official Gay Bar in the West Village of New York. Low key & very friendly West Village crowd. Bar is maintained in its original 1973 look. Friendly

Excellent cheeseburgers and fries at reasonable prices. Happy hour at 4:00 and most of the bartenders have a generous hand. Juliuss is billed as the oldest gay bar in NYC and I have no problem hanging out there. However, if you are the least bit homophobic, go get your burgers at McDonalds

I do love this place. Excellent quality drinks and great DTE clientele. The old timers coming to this dive bar can give great conversation, so make sure you sit up front and be open to random chit-chat. Very entertaining indeed!

Went on Halloween night and it was PACKED! We were hesitant to go in but glad we pushed our way through. This place did not disappoint. Drinks were average priced but the company and conversation is what made us stay. Bartender was attentive.

Lively gay bar with a friendly vibe. The clientele skews mature but always a nice mix of people. Great happy hour specials and a grill for all your drunken food cravings.
