Stonewall Newtown

such a weird experience!! the bartenders and bouncer were not friendly at all. felt like they wanted no one to enter at all! weirdddd. they hate their jobs clearly!!

Great addition to King Street. Lots of fun and good for a dance.

As a gay man, it’s a great (new) venue and thanks for keeping the Stonewall legacy alive. However, I’m not sure if staff are open to everyone visiting for a drink as I saw (multiple times) people turned away from the venue even if not intoxicated. Surely the community and allies are welcome for a drink in this new and fabulous space?

The staff are really friendly and helpful. We enjoy going there to catch-up with friends.

A fun gay bar that has relocated to King St. A new institution in Newtown. A fun night out and well priced drinks.

*NO LONGER PART OF PRIDE HOLDINGS* Please be kind, understand this transition would have been a lot of work! The space is incredible, it's obvious that so much love for our community and detail has gone into creating a familiar safe space. With so many memories that fill the space, posters on the walls, Maxi's dining table, stair way of stars paying homage to queens past and present. The chandeliers, and all important Cage! It's quirky, gay, camp and has that feel I remember from Oxford Street. While upstairs is still a work in progress, wouldn't we prefer it to be well done than raw 😝 Our support is what will make this new home look and feel like a new era is here. Let's be part of the future and honour the legacy of the community that makes the original and only Stonewall (in my opinion). See you in the rooftop.

Stonewall Newtown is arguably the only gay bar left in Sydney (as distinguished from just inclusive or gay-friendly). Definitely its the crowd that makes ot the place to be. Despite its small small size (it REALLY needs a dance floor), it really gives vibes of the golden years of The Midnight Shift, including the soundtrack.

Myself and a group of 4 friends attempted to attend stonewall tonight, on a Sunday evening to enjoy a few cocktails before attending a concert. This was our first drink of the night, we were excited to experience a fun & vibrant venue. The door manager, with blonde/grey short hair & a black vest smoking a cigarette whilst on duty, denied our entry, for no reason that we could pinpoint, other than the assumption that our appearance wasn’t to her liking. This was a very disappointing experience to be excluded from such a publicly inclusive venue. Not so inclusive due to this manager on duty. We had planned to enjoy a number of cocktails, which we instead enjoyed 2 doors down at the very accepting & welcoming Corridor.
