Stonewall Newtown carries the spirit of the legendary Oxford Street venue into Sydney’s Inner West. Set on bustling King Street, it combines a welcoming neighbourhood-bar atmosphere with the drag, music and larger-than-life entertainment for which Stonewall became famous.

Expect regular DJs, themed parties, comedy, live performances and community events, with late-night dancing on weekends. It is a proudly queer gathering place that feels right at home amid Newtown’s creative and inclusive culture.

A new chapter, same name

Stonewall Newtown opened in early March 2026 as a sister venue to the long-running Oxford Street institution, carrying the name into Sydney’s inner west at a moment of change for the city’s queer nightlife.
