Top ways to experience The Stonewall Inn

The area

Address
Neighborhood: Greenwich Village
Commonly known as “the Village” to New Yorkers, it was here in Greenwich Village that both 1960’s counter culture and the LGBT movement were born. Famous for its bohemian past, head to Washington Square Park to get a feel for this diverse and energetic neighborhood. You’ll find NYU students, street performers, skateboarders, kids frolicking in the fountain, and locals relaxing and playing chess. Stroll the streets to discover a mix of majestic town homes and hidden bars and restaurants that give this neighborhood an old-school residential feel. When the sun goes down, check out one of the famous jazz or comedy clubs that still packs them in every night.
How to get there
  • Christopher St – Sheridan Square • 1 min walk
  • West 4th St – Washington Square • 4 min walk

    History
    We had to visit here - this is where gay liberation began. We found it friendlier and more pleasant during the day than at night. Drinks are expensive but I don’t really blame them for capitalising on the fame of the place. They also sell a good range of commemorative T shirts. Apparently there is nothing left of the interior of the original bar where the riot took place (according to Wikipedia) but that shouldn’t detract from the history of the location. I was pleased to see that a museum is being created next door which should open in 2024. Also don’t miss the displays and statues in the park opposite.

    Stonewall Inn, Kristy and Mel made it a special visit!
    Stopped by The Stonewall Inn tonight a little early before the crowds. Kristy was awesome. She greeted us with a smile and took our drink order right away. I always love when I get to a popular place early, with time to make conversation about the venue. Kristy took the time to give me the history of the bar and the neighborhood - thank you so much. It's not very often that a NYC bartender makes such a personal connection. Mel soon joined Kristy for the evening crowd. Mel was just as attentive and made sure that we had our drinks filled. I really appreciate the personalized service that Kristy and Mel gave us. We left as it got pretty busy and they both took the time to say goodbye to us. We felt like part of the family. Thanks Sonewall Inn. It was a great experience, thanks to your staff. I'm going to rate Stonewall with 5-stars, which was well earned.

    Would visit regularly if I wasn’t 5000 miles away
    Stopped by The Stonewall Inn during a trip to NYC and ended up staying for several hours! The bar person (sorry we can’t remember your name) who served us was friendly and attentive. Other customers in the bar were also chatty and gave us advice on other venues in the area to try. Prices are to be expected for a pub in a city and weren’t outrageous. So lovely to spend an afternoon in a pub with such rich and important history.

    Alright
    It was ok. Drinks are so expensive (like all of nyc) and if you sit at the outdoor cafe area be aware there is a 20 % (rounded up to the nearest dollar mind you) table gratuity charge which they don’t really tell you about (it is hidden in fine print on the menu) and then they have the cheek to ask for an additional tip on top of the included table gratuity. There are better bars out there. Service wasn’t bad. The drinks just weren’t special. The outdoor seating area is really cute if you can actually snag a table.

Stopped in for a beer during our holiday from the UK. The place is good and worth a visit for the history that is represents. The bar women was blatantly rude to me for no reason. I was nothing but polite whilst there just received sarcastic and rude comments whenever being served or asking for the bill.

We arrived at the stonewall in at 12.45 on a Sunday. Google info states opens at 1pm. Hung around until 1.15 and no sign of opening, thought was maybe a mistake as didn’t open other days until 2pm, so we looked around the local area and came back at 2pm. Waited with others until 2.30pm when a lady came out, but didn’t say they were open, when followed them into the bar, we wanted a beer. Only to be asked for ID. At 60 and 45 years old it seemed a strange request. Although had all documents including vaccine etc on NYC covid app. We were turned away because we didn’t have physical ID. So in effect wasted nearly 2 hours of our day waiting on the place to open and then couldn’t even get a drink! Absolute joke!!

This bar is sooo, comfortable to be in
I like to dress up, 'feminine style'- and that's perfectly fine (NYC is the most comfortable place, to let out my 'inner feminine'- and it's where I'll most likely meet my 'future Squeeze'!)
I love talking with folks here- very relaxed,convival, and interactive
I definitely will be back!

Warm, welcoming staff and a great stop for a couple of drinks on a cold afternoon. The history is celebrated and although we were only there for a few hours, we enjoyed our conversations, learning about the history of The Stonewall and also the legacy of support to the GJBTQ community by The Stonewall. Well worth a visit.

Bar person unwelcoming. Bar frequently left unattended. Bar person was moaning about a group of girls coming in looking at the history of the place before they got a drink. Then later having she was having a hissy fit because people formed a Q. They could not get to the bar because of everybody sat in the way.

Plenty more welcoming places in NYC.

It’s a must go if you are gay or gay-friendly, because of the riots that took place there 50 years ago.
Friendly bartender, and it didn’t feel like a gay bar to me.
Just a regular bar, with good prices for drinks.
