The Stonewall Inn

Iconic gay bar in the heart of Greenwich Village. The Stonewall Inn was raided by police in June 1969, but the patrons that night fought back, kickstarting the gay liberation movement.

As the birthplace of gay Pride, The Stonewall remains the most famous LGBT bar in America. The venue hosts themed parties, karaoke nights, drag shows and various weekly/monthly events. If it's your first time in New York, a visit to Stonewall is a must. This bar doesn't just trade off its storied past: it's actually a good place to get a drink.
