Julius

Julius' is a bar&grill that has a lot of history. This structure has been welcoming folks since 1840, first as a grocery store and then, in 1864 as a bar. More than three years before Stonewall, the community gravitating around this staple in NYC helped put in motion changes which led to vast changes in the legal, political, and social landscape for LGBT people. It is considered one of the very first planned actions of civil disobedience for LGBT rights.
