Murphy's Tavern

For decades, Murphy's Tavern was a popular queer bar in Newark, NJ. It was supposedly the only gay bar in Newark in the s and s. The Tavern is no longer display today, but it is an important and prosperous part to Newark's gender non-conforming history. The bar also worked with other same-sex attracted bars in New Brunswick and Asbury Park, Fresh Jersey to challenge antigay regulations on bars and taverns. In , the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that so distant as they were well-behaved, there could not be restrictions on homosexuals patronizing taverns. The Tavern was eventually demolished in the early s.

A former patron of Murphy's described it as, "It was petty. It was just a bar, you walk in the door and then there was this U­shape bar, old wood and there was paneling just s. And that’s really what it was. You had the two sexy bartenders behind, male of course with no shirts on and you comprehend. So it was just that type of environment,” (June Dowell-Burton 24).

Although, not all members of the queer community were welcome. Angela Raine remembers Murphy's as being unwelcome for transgender individuals
