The Stonewall Inn New York

53 Christopher Street

What is it?

Legendary gay venue in the Village.
It was the location of the Stonewall Rebellion of 1969, in which hundreds of gays, lesbians and transgender people and their supporters for the first time finally fought back against the unwarranted and often violent police raids. Nowadays, Stonewall remains a favorite drinking and party spot, featuring a smoky bar and an upstairs dance floor. Recenlty renovated.

A lot of history here. This is where it all began for a generation of gay and lesbians. It was good to be back. Although it is almost sacrilege to say anything negative about Stonewall, Globalaza would only offer that the place could use a makeover. That being said, I had a good time. It is a good local bar with a downstairs bar area and an upstairs playing different [I think better] music -- 80s and 90s, some recent.

The decor is kitschy and red with drapes and couches, etc. It is a good local bar serving a local crowd of men and women (mostly men) with a range of ages and races (mostly older) and a relaxed attitude.

Friendly bartenders, although not as attentive as I would hope to see, but worth a visit to see where the modern gay movement took a giant leap forward.

Welcome back, Stonewall! How reassuring to have this legendary spot back. To stand at the bar on a lazy afternoon, tossing down a couple of beers, chatting with friends, making new ones, doesn't get any better. The wood-paneled walls have been lovingly restored.
