The Stonewall Inn

(456 Ratings)
Where it all began

Stop in and check out the landmark bar that basically started the gay rights movement. On June 28, 1969, New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn. It wasn't the first time, but this time a riot broke out on Christopher Street. The following week of protests around Stonewall sparked a movement for LGBTQ+ Americans. Cross this historic site off your travel bucket list and pay tribute to those who paved the way for LGBTQ+ rights.

Our Beloved Stonewall

The Stonewall Inn is one of the LGBT community's National Treasures, figuratively and literally. Many claim, Stonewall is where the LGBT movement started with the uprising in 1969. I am a gay entertainer and have performed many times on its stage. I love Stonewall on so many levels. As an artist, as an audience member, for its longevity, and now it has been deemed a National Monument. The first LGBT monument in American History. When visiting NYC, I highly encourage you visit it. Stop in for a drink, play a game of pool, or even catch an amazing show upstairs on the stage. It is part of our heritage, both as a member of the LGBT community and as an American. Tym Moss

National Monument

What can I say, it is a National Monument for LGBT Rights! Just like any other monument in the city, it is worth seeing because it is part of our history now.

Rip Off

I got charged $5 for diet cola loaded with ice during happy hour. That's just wrong.
