It’s such an iconic bar. Has one of the best vibes in NYC

Too bad that such a fun street and an iconic bright spot is not a good choice to spend on Sunday. my experience in the place was terrible; terrible attention from the waiter; on costs in drinks. I recommend checking what is happening.

This is a very important piece of history for the LGBTQ+ community. I was very proud to patronize this historic establishment. Cheers to where it all began.

You don’t know it yet but you need to go here! You can feel the history as you walk in the door. Friendly, cute, powerful, amazing. Do some research and then come pay your respect

Love this place! Everything Ive ever eaten there was so fresh and delicious!

Whether you are a party person or not... this place is a part of the LGBT+ history. So it’s a must go place either you are part of the community or an ally or just to expand your culture!As a bar it has 2 floors with different vibes. The first floor is where We usually hang it’s is a chill vibe. They have a pool table and bartenders are super friendly!

What a wonderful bar, and of course where gay pride started. The barmen are friendly and service is great and wonderful drinks. Highly recommended.Also there is a wonderful park out the front dedicated to pride.

Historic bar in New Yorks Greenwich Village area. Welcoming and pleasant inside, with some good drink / cocktail offers.Worth calling in if thats your bag

Nice and relaxing, friendly staff, prices are good

Historic. They cant take this history away!

Drinks are WAY too strong. The place was not very fun place to attend compared to other gay establishments in the city

Stonewall is one of those places you need to check off of your list when youre in the area, and if its a part of your history. I love sneaking away to the little upstairs area that the bar has for a little more quiet time (quiet as a bar can really be, and when the party downstairs isnt big enough to spill upwards). So much history within these walls - and so many drunk gay people to vibe with. Not a bad time in the least.

Love thos place! Had so much fun. Great loud music with karaoke. Good mixed crowd of people. If you like a lively loud place, this is for you. If you want a quiet drink ...maybe not. Its an iconic place!

I had a nice time in here a n the bartender wad amazing and welcoming!!! Loved the place with lots of history!!!

Here was the first date with my husband. We met on the site gaylot.com. The first meeting was unforgettable, now every year we come here to remember that wonderful moment

I wish i could go there once in my life, today dated 30th june, 2020, and Im from india

My experience in going during the pandemic arent so great,Prices went up to support and help them make up for their lost in profits...even thou i totally understand the circumstance

Small venue, but clean, friendly staff, and an iconic venue for the LGBTQ community. Sat in here drinking G&T while watching Miss Congeniality 2.

I stopped by during the week and it was daytime. Not a whole lot going on, but there was plenty for us to see. My friend bought a drink, while I wandered around the bar taking pictures. This is where the gay rights movement began, and this historic bar should mean a great deal for those in the lgbt community. The blood, sweat, and violence others had to endure...just so we can live the way we do today. I felt a sense of pride when I visited and grateful for the opportunity. I will never forget those who fought for lgbt rights, and those who continue to fight today.I have no idea what the bar is like at nights or on weekends. I imagine it being busy. Its dark inside, but I imagine they want to preserve the bar and keep it as it was back when before the gay rights movement.

This is a great place for a few drinks, atmosphere was great and staff were so friendly. Will be visiting again when in New York

Historic place, was hoping to have a welcoming experience. As an establishment with so much history, isn’t it important for the staff to provide an inclusive feeling to the guests? Apparently they don’t care about that at all. Unfortunate, when you have people coming here from ALL OVER THE WORLD. If I come back ever, I hope there are bartenders that act like they want to be there.

I finally was able to go to the place Ive always wanted to go being a transgender woman. Stonewall inn is like hallowed ground for me because The Stonewall riots were started by a transgender woman standing up for her rights. My bucket list on that has been completely checked. I strongly suggest anyone in the lgbtq go to the Inn. I am a transgender rights Advocate and activist.

A great place to brighten up gray everyday life, have coffee and relax. Recommend. On weekdays, a lot of people) fun)There is a little trick to get a free cocktail and a separate room for 2 hours, you need to register on site 909gay,com and give the bartender a profile number.

Historic bar where the Stonewall Riots occurred as a precursor to the Pride Movement. While the place is a historic landmark the bar itself isnt great. Very subdued crowd. Upstairs was a little more fun with a drag show. Expected a lot more from a place with such a historic background.

I am visiting from LA and Mel and & Kristy made me feel appreciated and welcome from the beginning. The physical location is dripping with history, yes, but the staff is welcoming and keeps you coming back for more.

Went out for an early birthday celebration and I must say from the moment we walk in, the staff was friendly and accommodating. Loved the look and the people there were fun. Definitely going back.

Small and cozy place! Where the gay pride began... good atmosphere and local guys

Heard its a great but only drove by

This is a historical and legendary place for the LGBTQ community.

What an Awesome Place!!!We visited on Sunday and had such a Great time, one lone bartender sorry sure wish I knew his name handled the Very Large downstairs bar crowd Flawlessly!!! Very Friendly, Outgoing and made everyone feel welcome , served efficiently never missing a beat!!! Kudos to him and an Excellent Experience !!!

Very historical place, played a pivotal role in the beginnings of LGBT rights. I love this place!

Its a nice place where you can get some pics, but its also a place where pride and resistence started, where LGBTQ+ started to fight for their rights.

Went for the history, stayed for a beer. Fun basement atmosphere. Glad I went.

It actually felt like home. Also they have dragshows from Monday to Saturday starting at 8 or 9 PM. Good Stuff, they got some margarita specials you can check out!

Wonderful atmosphere and wonderful people. Despite the police with machine guns outside. Yikes. This was just after Orlando, so it was to be expected. Its also quite historic!

Back in the day, the place was always a blast. But they really need to revamp the inside. I know it’s historic, and no one appreciates that more than me. But it used to be so much cleaner and when you walk in now it’s just dingy and smells musky. It will always have patrons because of its amazing history, but maybe they could just spruce the inside up- bring it into this century. All us gays aren’t hiding in the dark and dingy closets anymore, so the Stone Wall Inn should maybe brighten itself up a bit too. History doesn’t have to be old.

Great bartenders!! Beautiful, historic bar. Thank you for having us.

Stonewall Inn is a fantastic place to start a bar crawl in the west village. Its hard to believe we were standing in the same place where such violence occurred during the 1969 uprising. It was nice to see the various photos placed around the bar documenting that era. We went on a Monday and enjoyed a solid dirty martini upstairs. Theres a small stage for shows and dancing. Downstairs there were several dozen people hanging out playing drag bingo. The queen calling the numbers was a total hoot. She sprinkled in lots of trivia -- I wasnt sure how it affected the game but it made it a little more interesting nonetheless. She loved heckling the patrons as they entered and especially when they left. We played a few rounds of bingo but never won one of the many prizes which included vintage porn dvds and a selection of kitchy stuffed dolls. This old school bar with super friendly service is certainly worth a visit when youre in NYC -- to see this landmark is historic and its just one of several other bars in the area so be sure to stop in.

Living history!

Went there yesterday, the bartender was a blonde girl, and it was rude when we asked our drinks. We spent there about an hour, and when we paid he was rude again. We decided to not give her any tips, and she was ironic and rude when taking the ticket back. Its a pity because it could (and should be) a very friendly, inclusive and open bar, I went there excited to see hows the place where the fight for our rights began, and having this experience is very disappointing. Drinks are overpriced too, but you kind of expect that on a place like this.

I see this place has quite a nice reputation. However, I give it a 3-star rate because the staff was unfriendly, the inside was untidy and had a really bad smell (I don’t mean alcohol or tobacco smell, I mean really bad smell...)

Everytime i go here i have a great expierence and all of the bartenders are awesome .. my friend works there and shes a great dj as well . Everyone i come in contact with there is nice as well .. i live in the poconos pa and sometimes just go there for a nite out . Id love to work there one day ! Plus its historical which makes it that much better !

Iconic location and a must-see. Very low key compared to its modern rivals though. Also takes a LONG time for the bartender to serve you even after they see you and wink at you.

Its charm lies in its unassuming facade. It looks like an ordinary pub from the outside however, you will be treated to an assortment of vibes once you enter. The doors are manned by a security which requires you to present an ID for age verification. Drinks are priced between 7-10 dollars. Performances usually start around midnight or around 11 PM. It can get a bit crowded however the fun lies in the crowd it draws.

Obviously the historic significance makes this a noteworthy spot. In addition, it has a wonderful vibe and great events. The drag shows on the first Sunday of the month are super fun! Its a neighborhood and national gem

If you are looking for the Stonewall National Monument NPS stamp, just ask the bartender.This historic gay bar was the site of a famous series of riots in 1969. For this reason, it is considered one of the most important places in LGBT history. The bar itself is dark and feels historic. I really enjoyed chatting with the bartender. All in all a wonderful experience.

It was very emotional to come here and see this place that represents so much for the lgbtq+ comunity. Totally recommend for everyone to visit and go to the bar.

I have never had a bad experience at this bar. Its a great place to dance. There is a very diverse crowd. I personally love their karaoke and any special events they have. Its always a good time at stonewall

I went by the bar on a recent trip to NYC. I always wanted to visit because it’s legendary. I am surprised how much of a dive the place is considering it’s historical importance.The interiors were really old and the bathrooms were not very clean. I think that the owner should consider updating the interiors (still keeping many of the original elements) and give the place a makeover and make it more upscale and modern. Maybe they should charge a cover in order to finance a renovation?It’s historically such an important bar that I think that it should be much grander than what it is currently. It really should be a must see destination for all gay tourists.Also, I would have loved to have bought a Stonewall T Shirt as a souvenir but the bartender was too busy. They should have a separate little area to purchase these items and please have them available for sale during the day.

Friday and Saturday night, this place is happening, everyone is friendly, happy, and there to enjoy a few drinks with friends. Visit the 2nd floor if you want to dance to music.

This is a unique bar in NYC that if you’re part of the LGBTQ community you must make a visit to ( of course everyone is welcome ).Just said if you’re part of the LGBTQ community because of its history of our community that this bar have.It was where out community started coming together and fighting for our rights and it was where we could have a little of getting together with members of our community when it was “forbidden” to be ourselves. It seems crazy that this times existed in the past.Just love this place

Great atmosphere and drinks but ugh plastic straws.

Totally diverse and mixed. Happy time place. Visit to drink and unwind. They might not like me to note this is not the original bar. It was next door and linked to what is now the coat check in rear.cif current place. This is a new Stonewall that is extremely much nicer space than hole in the wall original! I had to ask around to find that out .

A sad bit of history, but happy they are telling the story. Lives lost be not forgotten.

Obv worth going for historical purposes. It’s really cool that it doesn’t feel like one big tourist attraction, still feels like a small local gay bar

You’d think that Blacks would be welcomed here with no issues because of a Black transwoman historic movement, however, Blacks are not welcomed here 50 years later. Insanely racist and toxic environment. Since we’re not welcomed there, I will be working to expose the egregious atmosphere and get this place shut down permanently until LGBTQ can be inclusive of Blacks who are the actual pioneers of NYC gay culture.

Never drank there, however my school wemt there to learn about lgbt history and wow The history, the impact, the level of legendary, wow 10/10 best bar on earth

Ask for big daddy saleh

Cant say much.....but it got history

It is much smaller than I had pictured it in my mind. It was amazing to be at this historical site. I could close my eyes and imagine Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera and all the other queens we can thank for launching a movement!

The historic significance of this place of resistance and rights is very important to the lbgti community and is without question. Its official birthplace is here. And it remains more as less as it was, not the hippest place in town but it wasnt then and says more about the marginalization of a minority than anything else.Highly recommend.

A must see considering its historicalImportance. The drinks were inexpensive, but the overall feel was a tad lackluster. Granted, it was a Sunday afternoon, yet I expected a littlemore. It took a little while to get drinks, but I believe the bartender was by himself. Just as the other reviewer mentioned, buying a t-shirt was a little, eh, lets say problematic. My wife wanted to buy one as a souvenir, however the bartender was too busy to retrieve one. We waited an additional 30 minutes for his back-up to arrive, however it never happened.

Fun place, no judgement, pool table and decent beer. The historical status adds to the ambiance. Do your due diligence and read about this history of this place before arriving.

Visited with a local this past Saturday. My friend had a horrible customer experience. Person on charge of the coat hanging did not return coat until my friend called the police. He even got escorted out and screamed by the bouncer. The irony of this happening at this bar is crazy.They need better staff. Hope it gets fixed. My friend did file a report. You should to if you have bad experience.

I know its historical, but that is about the only thing going for it. Other than that, its a very average bar thats small and very crowded.Watch out if you carry a backpack as they might not let you in during some certain events .

Fun place! Went on a Sunday afternoon it was $4 drinks. The cheapest I found in NY! Staff and customers are friendly and music was great!

Very comfortable !!!!Awesome crowd selection IT.

It was very humbling to be in a place where a movement started. The atmosphere was fun the drinks were strong and I had a great time.

Historic bar, dimly lit.

Great bar

Cool ig

This place discriminates against straight people. For a group that claims inclusiveness, they are incredibly intolerant towards those who identify differently from them. 0 STARS!!!

Cool historic location!

Great place! Very mixed crowd, nice show, enough bathrooms, space and 2 bars. Mist visit

Great history of the lgbtq community. Friendly bar

We had a great time here! ️️I stopped by during the week and it was daytime. Not a whole lot going on, but there was plenty for us to see.My friend bought a drink, while I wandered around the bar taking pictures.This is where the gay rights movement began, and this historic bar should mean a great deal for those in the lgbt community.The blood, sweat, and violence others had to endure...just so we can live the way we do today.I felt a sense of pride when I visited and grateful for the opportunity. I will never forget those who fought for lgbt rights, and those who continue to fight today!!️.

So you guys tried to stop a black trans woman from speaking.....at stonewall....on the anniversary of stonewall...........and literally told her to “shut up”It’s disappointing that a place with a history deeply entwined with lgbtq poc (spec. black trans women-did you guys really forget your own history?) has turned into the antithesis of what pride should be.

Good bar!

I got assaulted here and no one cared, not the bartender or any gay man or woman. No one helped me. I cannot come here without being groped by straight men and told that I’m straight. It’s not safe to come here alone.

Wonderful place, Bartenders friendly, drinks strong.

First time into the Inn and what a wonderful time warp into history! Its a darkened room with a great atmosphere with reasonable priced drinks. I went up to the room upstairs to watch my friend perform his music and comedy and paid $5 which was fine.. but the barman upstairs came up to me and my friend and said its a minmum of two drinks upstairs? I didnt buy another 2 drinks but thought that was pretty stupid.

Such a fun spot. Cheep drinks and incredible fun nice bartenders. Everyone is incredible kind and welcoming. Wonderful to get to enjoy a drink and dancing at such a historic place

This place is nice for a photo opp. Pretty much ONLY for that. It was quite a downer when it came to stepping inside it. I was really excited to be at this historical place with a friend who was in town from London, whom I was meeting after 12+ years. I was visiting from out of state too, and it was my first ever visit to this bar. I thought it would be awesome for us to meet there. However, there was this really rude drag queen who was the MC for some Bingo thingy happening that night. It seems everyone there was simply trying to keep a half-hearted smile pasted on their faces as she kept trying to insult people in the name of humor.And for a place that is so historical for us queers, this drag queen just assumed that we were “lesbians” and addressed us so. News Flash – Using correct pronouns or qualifiers that connote one’s gender, is not just restricted to drag queens! Plus, we weren’t there to sit and play Bingo, for God’s sake! Could they just leave people alone and let them be? It was like being in school once again – being asked to fall in line by the class teacher. What made it even more pathetic was how everyone there kept sheepishly smiling through all the sad attempts this drag queen was making to sound funny, when she was actually being really nasty and insulting, most of the time. I’m not sure if we were getting a special dose for being the only brownies there. But, for me, an otherwise nice evening turned really ghastly, thanks to Bingo being force-fed to us, along with some really insulting comments.We, of course, walked out soon after we finished our drinks. As for the drinks, the bartender was friendly. I agree with most others who say that the drinks were pretty expensive. I would add that they were pretty watered down too. I don’t feel like going there ever again. I’m sure there are friendlier places in town. Ruined a perfectly nice evening really well. Full marks for that, for sure.

Never actually got to visit inside, but I loved seeing how they dressed it all up in color for pride month, and I loved visiting since it has so much history to it.

God bless all the gay men & women that stood firm for the gay rights movement, Well done brothers & sisters.

So wow. The long story short of it is I was absolutely appalled at the way we were treated by the bartenders on Thursday evening (early Friday morning). We walked in at 2:30 a.m., were carded by the door man and told to have a good time. This is my second trip to NYC and my first trip to the Stonewall Inn. As someone who identifies as gay/queer, it was important for me to pay my respects on such a monumental weekend. But the good intention and fun stops there. Once we reached the bar, a female with brown hair in a pony tail and tattoos refused to greet us. We stood there and waited and waited and waited - the other bartender, a slender gentleman with longer hair, made eye contact not once, not twice, but three times and he also refused to greet us. After waiting 18 minutes, and being skipped over for many others at the bar, I finally asked the brunette, tattooed bartender if we could be served. She LITERALLY scoffed in my face, rolled her eyes, and stated she was busy with other customers. (It honestly just got uncomfortable) She poured her drinks for this other patron and then proceeded to go to a gentleman (friend, they hugged at the end) at the side of the bar and lallygag, laugh and essentially complain about whatever it is she was upset by. It became super awkward. *Very awkward* To the point I stated to her, Im sorry, we are visiting and just want to get drinks, not sure what we did? (Which was absolutely nothing, her and the other guy were rude the minute we walked up, why am I apologizing so you can do your job?) She continued to ignore me and act like I wasnt even speaking to her. So we thought, lets give it a few minutes, maybe shes busy. (HUGE benefit of the doubt here, I bartended for ten years and have never exhibited or extended such rudeness in my life.) At almost the thirty minute mark she finally says what do you want? We tell her and she pours two paltry drinks for my friend and I and immediately wants to close our tab. We close it, and because we understand these are peoples livelihoods, we left a $10 tip. (She had no problem entering and keeping that though.) For one, I was completely unaware she owned the bar and could make judgement calls on when and why she wanted to or didnt want to serve drinks just because its late, shes miserable or just doesnt want to serve strangers. Two, oh wait, shes not the owner, and thankfully Im not either, because there is no way I would employ anyone like this on my staff. Read previous reviews here and on Facebook, you can be assured this isnt the first time and it certainly will not be the last. She was nasty and didnt deserve a dime and she knows it. Extending this behavior to other bar staff is also immature at best, I say this because the other bartender appeared newer. None the less, its just common courtesy and doing your job, which is customer service, and it should have just come to him naturally. Hopefully you can look forward to whatever excuse she may extend to you for her rude behavior but if you have cameras, video, etc, by all means please view the footage, her actions speak for themselves. (She finally made us those (terrible) drinks, right? Absolutely no reason for the epic and childish meltdown she exhibited at the bar, especially on this weekend)My review is for the bar staff only, not the inn itself, which had great patrons and good music, and polite door staff.

Great place to go for karaoke. I went with a group of coworkers and we had a blast. The drinks are strong and the bar staff are super friendly.

A wonderful bar, the bar staff are adorable and the multinational clientele friendly. However, we received the most abhorrent welcome from the miserable fat bouncer who was rude, obnoxious and overtly threatening. Despite having a few good nights, our group choose not to return. Such a terrible shame, however, we should have felt welcome and safe at this venue.

Worst service in whole NYC! Blonde lady in the bar has been rude to me twice. Historic or not you gotta look after your customers!!!

Very welcoming! We had a great evening enjoying drinks in this historic little spot. Both bartenders were really nice. Lots of fun!

Brunch here was amazing. The food was so filling and good; it makes you feel like you got your moneys worth :) Cant wait to come back and try other things on the menu!

This place is an historic landmark. Great location, great staff and good drinks.

Giving the Stonewall Inn five stars for its historical significance alone

Nice people, and the Stone Wall IPA (Brooklyn Brewery) is tasty!

Love everything this place stands for alas the female bar staff could be a little more welcoming!

Amazing place and learned so much feom the bartender.

Went every night and I do not regret it

Such a wonderful experience .

Amazing and supportive

If youre looking for a new brunch place, this IS the one to go to. Like I said, be prepared to wait, but it is well worth it!
