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

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.

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.

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’.

This place was brilliant. The food here was really nice and fresh and it had a really good vibe. This is a great place to come if you’re LGBTQ+. I’d recommend the onion rings and the hot dog.

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 😉

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.

Joshua and Nick took such great care of us! Hot dogs and service was fabulous! Rich with history and a very eclectic crowd! Drinks prices very reasonable for the village. And they have a juke box too!

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.

Review №21

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. It was oozing with psychic energy

Its the best bar burger in the city. The fries are fresh cut, the onion rings are crispy, and the service is nice.

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?

1 St time visiting this bar, it was packed with very easy to talk to people. Fun crowd that was happy and not pretentious. The drinks were well priced.

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 №38

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.

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.

I was really happy to go to a historic gay bar in nyc. This place was talked up and I was let down. The burgers arent that good. And they nickel and dime you on every single topping. Theres no menu so you have no actual idea of how much youre spending when you order anything. Not worth the money. Go to stonewall instead.

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!

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

Review №58

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 !

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.

Review №82

One of the greatest gay bars in New York City happens to also be the longest running one. One could lyric poetry about the stories and fun nights had here. The sense of history is only magnified by the fact that it features heavily in Melissa McCarthys latest movie Will you ever forgive me where she is seen having a rather believable tete-a-tete with Richard E. Grant in the window. The E one can only presume is for extraordinary. This bar is a stalwart champion of rebellious and lively homosexuality. Thanks to encounters in this bar, when Im ancient and gray.. I know Ill look back on my life and fondly smile - knowing that I lived a corruscating and full life.
