Sam Smith hosted a Pride party at Julius on June 13, during which he and Alicia Keys performed 'I'm Not the Only One' to a crowd that included Kim Petras.
is a relatively chill place to have a few beers; but when Sam Smith hosts a Pride party there, the place becomes electric. On June 14, the bar was shoulder-to-shoulder with guests ordering vodka sodas and a selection offrom Super Gay. A server inched through the crowd with a tray of burgers and onion rings. Noticeably, there was an empty stage set up with just a microphone and a piano — it didn’t take long for attendees to put two and two together and hope for a performance.
But the evening wasn’t billed as a Sam Smith “concert.” In fact, the person who seemed to be enjoying Sam Smith’s party the most was Sam Smith, who towered well above the crowd in a cutoff Julius T-shirt and kilt. For most of the night, the stage remained empty while Smith and some friends hung out in the rear of the space dancing to a DJ set from Lady Bunny.was also spotted snapping photos with friends, while Dylan Mulvaney breezed through the crowd and made her way to Smith’s group.
“Julius is the best bar in New York, it’s a national treasure,” Abrams tells NYLON. “Anytime something happens here, I will be here. I had my birthday here, we celebrated my friends getting engaged here. It’s just the best bar.”Around 11 p.m. Lady Bunny grabbed a microphone to try and clear people from the stage, signaling that Smith was about to come on. The crowd didn’t dissolve at all, but excitement raced through the room. Just after 11 p.m.
“Sam Smith and Alicia Keys are icons,” artist Wes Aderhold says. “The fact that they showed up for the gay community here is absolutely amazing.”
