Welcome to White Oak Tavern, a modern American tavern located in the heart of Greenwich Village, New York City. Combining the warmth of a classic tavern with a fresh, innovative approach to dining, we honor the rich tradition of tavern culture with a contemporary twist.

Named after the majestic white oak trees of Kentucky and inspired by the craftsmanship of the cooper, who shapes the barrels that preserve the region’s famous whiskey, White Oak Tavern pays homage to both tradition and innovation.

Nestled on a picturesque corner, White Oak Tavern offers a cozy, romantic atmosphere where rustic charm meets urban sophistication. With soft lighting and intimate seating, it’s the perfect spot for an evening of delightful dining and lively conversation.

The Stonewall Inn [above] is a historic landmark, listed on both the state and national registers, and holds the distinction of being the first national monument dedicated to LGBTQ history. It remains an iconic gay bar and gathering place. The 1969 riots, sparked by the bar's patrons and local activists like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, were a direct response to the police’s mistreatment of LGBTQ individuals. These events are widely regarded as a pivotal moment in the fight for LGBTQ rights.

Village Award winner Julius’s bar, is a historic New York City establishment that Village Preservation continues to work to protect. Operating since 1864, the bar is one of the city's oldest continuously running bars. In the 1950s, it began to attract a gay clientele, and in 1966, members of the Mattachine Society—one of the country’s oldest gay organizations—held a “Sip In” to protest the State Liquor Authority’s (SLA) discriminatory policies, which prohibited bars from serving gay customers. After being denied service, the group filed a complaint with the city’s Commission on Human Rights, leading to a 1967 state court ruling that required the SLA to have "substantial evidence" of indecent behavior to close a bar or refuse service. This landmark decision was a turning point, reversing years of discrimination and helping to spark the gay rights movement that would gain momentum in 1969.
