14 Great Gay Bars In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"You can feel the history at Stonewall Inn. That's because Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera resisted a police raid here, effectively launching the gay rights movement in 1969. But it's also because it looks like it hasn't been redecorated in decades. There’s a long, divey bar on the ground floor, and upstairs you’ll find a small stage for drag shows. This place is by no means anyone’s go-to for a wild night out, but if you’ve never been to Stonewall, it’s definitely worth making a trip for the most fun you can have at a New York City Landmark." - molly fitzpatrick, tiffany yannetta, brennan carley, bryan kim
