Stonewall Inn, Historic LGBT tavern in Greenwich Village, New York, United States
Stonewall Inn is a tavern in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, occupying two connected brick buildings on Christopher Street. The space includes a main bar area with counter seating, a dance floor, and a stage for musical performances and public gatherings.
The building began as a speakeasy during Prohibition in 1930 and later became a restaurant before turning into a gathering spot for gay men in 1967. A police raid in June 1969 led to protests outside, which became a turning point for civil rights movements.
The Stonewall Inn functions as a central meeting point for the LGBT community, hosting regular drag shows, piano performances, and advocacy events.
The venue opens daily in the late afternoon and remains open until early morning, with seating available both at the bar and at small tables. Weekends can be crowded, so arriving earlier offers quieter access.
The street-facing windows are decorated with rainbow flags and historical photographs that partially obscure the interior from outside view. This design recalls earlier years when the glass was blacked out to shield patrons from passersby.
