Black Cat Tavern, LGBTQ rights landmark in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, United States.

The Black Cat Tavern occupies a two-unit building on Sunset Boulevard, sharing its space with a former laundromat location in Los Angeles.

On January 1, 1967, undercover police officers carried out a raid during New Year's celebrations, leading to multiple arrests and subsequent protests.

The establishment became a central meeting point for LGBTQ individuals during the 1960s, hosting regular entertainment performances and community gatherings.

The location now functions as a restaurant and bar, maintaining its original name while offering contemporary dining experiences to visitors.

The site received recognition as California Historical Landmark number 1063, marking the first LGBTQ-related landmark designation in the state.
