The Stonewall Inn

A National Historic Landmark, this bar served as the site for the historic Stonewall Riots in 1969, largely credited with kicking off the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. These days, the high-energy dance music at the historic West Village bar draws a mixed, flirty crowd. Drink at one of two bars or get down on the dance floor upstairs. Daytime brings gawking tourists, but the evenings are still for partying.
