A Night at Julius’
Julius’ is an old-school West Village bar that’s been serving drinks for more than 100 years. In 1966, three men from the Mattachine Society (an early gay-rights group) held a “sip-in” demanding service and helped set the wheels in motion for the fight for equality. We spent a spring night at Julius’ monthly Mattachine party to see what today’s crowd knows and loves about this nightspot.
