The Black Cat
Built in 1939, this Sunset Boulevard institution evolved from a grocery store to a gay bar and laundromat in the 1960s. In addition to the beauty of the place, with its large wooden counter and comfortable benches, one comes here for its history: declared a Historical and Cultural Monument in 2008, The Black Cat played a considerable role in the advancement of LGBTQI+ rights. After a police raid in January 1967, beating up the patrons, it was here that one of the first peaceful protests of the community was organized, the following February 11.
