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

The Black Cat Tavern stands at 3909 W. Sunset Blvd. in Silver Lake, in a two-unit building it shared with a laundromat when it opened in November 1966. Since November 2012 the address has housed a restaurant and bar called The Black Cat, which displays photographs of the 1967 raid and protest inside.

The bar opened in November 1966 in a two-unit building shared with a laundromat, serving a mainly working-class clientele. On New Year's Day 1967, undercover LAPD officers who had infiltrated the celebration beat patrons and arrested fourteen for assault and public lewdness; two bartenders were knocked unconscious. A civil demonstration of about 200 people organized by PRIDE and the SCCRH followed on February 11, 1967, and the state liquor board's rejection of the bar's appeal closed it on May 21, 1967.

The bar drew a mainly blue-collar clientele and was described by the gay newspaper Tangents as "happy and hopping" on New Year's Eve 1967, with coloured balloons on the ceiling and three glittering Christmas trees. The raid and the February 11, 1967 protest inspired the founding of The Advocate, which began as a newspaper for the group PRIDE.

The bar stands at 3909 W. Sunset Blvd. in Silver Lake, in a two-unit building it shared with a laundromat in 1966. A city plaque installed in 2008 marks the site on the facade, and photographs of the 1967 raid and protest hang inside the current restaurant and bar.

The site earned the designation of California Historical Landmark 1063, making it the first LGBTQ-related location to receive such state recognition. This official acknowledgment transformed the space into a documented landmark of LGBTQ history.
