The Stonewall Inn (or just Stonewall) is a gay and lesbian tavern and recreational bar in New York City that was the site of the 1969 Stonewall riots. The original inn closed that year. In 1990, a bar named "Stonewall" opened in the western half of the original location.[6]

In June 2015, the Stonewall received an official landmark status from the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission for its role as spreding the LGBT movement.[7] It is the first landmark in New York City that has been recognized for its status in LGBT history.[8]
