Widely considered the birthplace of the gay rights (shh, don't tell them about Julius!), this place was completely renovated and opened under new ownership after the riots, but it's a great bar .
Even though it is a historical symbol of gay movement, it is also a friendly and normal bar for you to hangout no matter who u r. The bartender is nice and might touch ur face at some point=]
The most fun I've had in New York. Everyone is friendly . The drinks are cheap and you never know who you'll run into. Such an incredible place.
Great bar except when the Hetero Breeders come in and "pretend" to be down with the cause... Go to your own bar and let us gays have our own thing for once..
Worth dipping into for the history. Not the best bar in the hood tho. Great place to get beaten at pool by a lesbian .
The fact that it ties into the other club on the block via the back passage way is nice. The shitty pool table needs a refurbish. The shows and events are great for pastime.
I cant believe this has turned into a straight hangout. Was in on a Saturday night and it was full of young staight people making out. They probably dont even know what that place stood for.
A very important place to visit as part of the LGBT community. This is where pride began. ????️???? You’ll finds many pool playing lesbians here.
Good vibes, safe space. Divey AF and love it! Downstairs and upstairs spaces as well as outdoor in the warmer months
The gay rights movement began here during a riot on June 28, 1969. Today, Gay Pride events are held annually throughout the world toward the end of June to mark the Stonewall riots .
Lots of lezzies here, but the once-a-month Collider party with Damian and @DaveHuge is a pretty hip cub adventure.
The most famous gay bar in history. You've gotta stop in for at least one drink to say you've been. When marriage equality passed in NYC, this is where everyone came to celebrate.
Stop by and pay homage to the birth place of the gay rights movement the best way you know how, whit cheap shots. -Zac Young, Top Chef Just Desserts
It’s a legendary bar but it’s stuck in its past. Not in a good way.
Holy Homohistory Batman! Yes it's THE place the Queers fought back. Always changing music & scene but drinks & friendly atmosphere persist.
We stopped in just because it's a historical landmark . Had a decent time. Wasn't really all that impressed.
We were thrilled to visit this historic place. It's just a cute little dive at this point, but one that I love so much due to it's place in history. Great value for your dollar on drinks!

Looking forward to our visit having travelled to NYC from Brisbane Australia. It was not very busy 30 people there on 4th July inside but 1 bar staff on. She ignored us for 15 mins walked out
A must visit for LGBTQ history.
Learn your herstory and visit!
This is where it all started in the 60's with the Stonewall Riots . Such a great place & a must see if in NY!
I always say I'm going to Girlnation on Fridays at Stonewall but the weather starts to mess up...I'm still putting my word to it! I'll be there!
Love this place. Thank you ????????????
Friday is Karaoke Night from 5pm until 10pm. So much fun, very casual , and totally worth the trip. Go and escape from reality for a bit with booze and singing.
The worst dj in Manhattan on Saturday nights. Can't feel a beat if her life depended on it.
I just walked in on someone shitting. No...really.
Brooklyn Brewery has a special Stonewall Inn IPA done in partnership with Stonewall Inn that's definitely a tasty brew. Get it here!
The stretch of Christopher St in front of Stonewall is the go-to gathering spot for NYers anytime something gay/political happens. So much history here.
There are no draft beers ... WHAT!?
karaoke on Fridays with half price drinks, plus Are You Smarter than a Bartender on Tuesday nights!
Monday night Drag Bingo is the best!!
Whiskey soda .
Amazing place for karaoke !
Historicity aside, this is actually a really good place to grab a beer and catch up with a friend.
The site of the 1969 Stonewall riots , this Greenwich Village bar became the birthplace of the modern Gay Rights Movement and is a National Historic Landmark .
Check out Charmagne Ultra. She's awesome!
Great piece of history, grateful to stop by the day marriage equality was granted! And when chuck bartends he makes everyone popcorn with m&ms, salty sweet secret delight!!
a great place to go to with my gay friends; one of them told me all about the historical significance of this place and the cultural impact for Human-Equal Rights.
Opened 3/18/67. Bldg is 2 renovated stables erected 1843-46. On 6/28/69 during police raid a riot ensued. Next day protests were celebrated each year after via Gay Pride March. Full history via<LINK>
Happy hour drinks BOGOFree $8 until 7.30pm. Not sure from when but I got there just after 5pm and it was already on! Happy days
Love the monthly drag show! Read more
A historic monument ! It's still a little divey and a little messy, and friendly for all people, including lgbtq allies!
Friendly staff and a part of equal rights history. A must see in NYC it doesn’t matter your gender option
Don't trip when approaching the bar , there is a thing there that I've tripped over a couple of times. Don't forget that sometimes the second floor is open and a full bar is upstairs as well !
Bingo on Mondays and karaoke on Fridays!
Historic birth place of the gay rights movement and a great place for a 2-4-1 Happy Hour special , a diverse crowd , friendly bartenders and dancing upstairs.
Where it all started! My first Gay bar too. I love the place, the atmosphere, very friendly . I feel like I'm with family there.
Come because it's a necessary pilgrimage, and stay because it's a cozy place to spend an evening chatting with friends.
Like many of the gay men in the West Village this is an icon that is starting to show its age but is still a fun time.
It is a go-to, cozy, jewel of the neighborhood (amidst some precious dank). - David DiGregorio
Great neighborhood bar, used to be a hardware store, now is a friendly local place for a beer after work, or drinks throughout the night. - John A
My first les bar experience. Had a great time here. Space is a little cramped, but we made it work. They really go all out on the decor of the spot, me likes. Great environment. - Wilmer S
Get there early for cheapo drinks and a smaller - but similarly enthusiastic- crowd! - Jacqueline Trumbull
