Stonewall
Years after the historic 1969 riots at this bar that launched the gay civil rights movement, Stonewall is still here, it’s queer, so go inside and have a beer. Recently renovated to include a better sound system, newer lighting, and more video monitors, this legendary West Village two-level bar continues to attract a diverse mix of gays and lesbians depending on the night. While Monday’s hip-hop party reels in the blatinos, Wednesdays and Fridays feature purely Latin fiestas. Stonewall’s most popular event continues to be Thursday’s “Detention” party, as countless college twinks pack the pop-tastic dance floor upstairs to create a gay version of Spring Break. If nothing else, Stonewall serves as a reminder that at least gays and lesbians no longer need to fight for the right to party.

A Beautiful Space!

Stonewall, after all these years, is still a very relevant fixture of queer New York. The place was recently renovated and it shines! The beautiful wooden bar has been restored, and there are photographs that adorn the walls, reminding patrons of the historic location they are in. I especially like the etched glass pane that separates the back lounge area from the bar in the front, on the main floor.

The upstairs dance club is opening sometime around the first day of June this year, and I am looking forward to seeing it post-renovation. This bar finally is getting the attention it deserves, no longer being a seedy hole-in-the-wall pickup joint. This is now the real deal, and displays gay New York with proud affection.
