Stonewall Hotel

Darlinghurst is known for its vibrant LGBTQI presence, shown in the abundance of rainbow-clad convenience stores, bars and shops. Stonewall is at the forefront of these uber proud establishments, with its status as a heritage-listed building and a history of encouraging people to celebrate their identities.

Named after the original Stonewall Bar in Manhattan — home to the historic Stonewall riots of 1969 — the three-story property consists of three different bars that are offering a menu packed with booze-charged concoctions.

Dick's Diner is supplying the nightly refuel when you need to replenish your energy. Indulge in a menu of classic bar fares, including a wagyu beef burger and salt and pepper squid.

For 17 years, Stonewall has the been the peak place for queer-supportive fun from nightly drag shows and karaoke to parties led by some of Sydney's up and coming DJs. You'll be dancing the days away in the same venue that Jean Paul Gaultier boogied in once upon a time.
