Sunday, October 11, 2026, 7:00 PM - 1:00 AM · The Black Cat, Silver Lake, Los Angeles
The Black Cat hosts a 4th annual National Coming Out Day event where guests assemble 100 Welcome-Wagon care packages for people coming out, complete with drag, a DJ, and resource tables from local LGBTQ+ organizations. Volunteer shifts run through the afternoon for setup, assembly, SupportCard writing, greeting and breakdown, with food and drinks on hand. Free and all ages, with host Lauren Banall and DJ TayDAWG.
Dark-wood walls, tufted banquettes, and high ceilings give this Sunset Junction tavern the sleek, speakeasy‑meets‑gastropub vibe it’s known for. Tables spill into a roomy patio that’s prime people-watching territory pre-show or post‑gig. Most importantly, it’s quietly reverent: the city’s first LGBTQ protest erupted here in 1967, two years before Stonewall, and stories of that night live on framed above the bar.
