About The Black Cat

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.
