The New Prelude

New Prelude was located at York Road and Route in Bucks County, PA. Ground-level bar and you stepped down a few steps to the dance floor. Weekly nightlife and Fantastic Halloween parties.

Oh, yes, do I remember don from The New Prelude! And Don of course, who was apparently one of the proprietors. He liked me and even though there was a five-dollar cover to get in there on Weekends, he always saw to it that

I never paid! After all five dollars was a lot of money to an underage boy way back then! Right after you walked in on the left was a little cubby &#; hole of a bar, where a nice young gentleman named &#;Glennie&#; was the barkeep. He even made &#; The Orgasm!&#; It was a delicious imbibe, and the first second I had ever heard of it. And &#; Glennie &#; is still working in beautiful Novel Hope to this very day! Yes, I also remember Nancy; a minute on the tough side, though with a heart o&#; gold.

She worked in what was then the coatroom, just as you entered the place. In later years, The Modern Prelude also opened a fine restaurant down a few steps and even a great piano

With The Cub Room's give back, is New Hope's gay bar scene coming back?

NEW HOPE - The first time Larry Melo stepped into a gay bar he didn’t know what to expect.

“Even as a gay guy, my first experience out in the world was so distinct than what I imagined it would be,” Melo recalled. 

It was , in New York City. His cousin, who was also gay, suggested the two grab a drink at Jan Wallman’s on Cornelia Street in Greenwich Village. 

"I thought it would be seedy," he remembered thinking as they made their way into the capital. But once inside the cabaret bar and restaurant, that notion quickly disappeared.

“I didn’t know it would be so sophisticated. The bar was gorgeous with beautiful lighting and lush seating. The men were so handsome and well-dressed. It was just fascinating to see there was a place they could go and be easy , and it wasn’t taboo,” he said.
