Federico Pizzuto

What a great surprise. We went there to attend my cousin’s birthday and we all had great time. It is clearly an historic place and a landmark in NYC. We felt it while inside and we really loved the experience. Great drinks, great service, good music and also amazing burger and fries for a very fair price.

An icon well worth checking out. The walls are adorned with write ups and glamour shots. Julius earned its place in history for the ‘sip-in’ and has endured for its modest and simple style. Cash only, pub food if you’re hungry and friendly bartenders eager to please. Solid bar for the working class.

The decore brings you back to the fifties or sixties. Hamburger still one of the best in town. Jukebox playing their favorite oldies. Photos on the wall showing a real history to be proud of.

I had a wonderful New Years celebration this Wednesday/Thursday at Julius’ thanks to Helen and her wonderful staff! Drink were great and very reasonably priced. Cash-only! But there is an ATM in the back (and more seating!). Thank you again, we will be back!

Incredible and pure bar experience. Cash only but worth it as their drinks are strong and fun times and new conversation abound. This space is a long running space and knows what it is and thats why it should be and is celebrated.

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.
