stonewall riot. Stonewall Riot definition. A disturbance that grew out of a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, a popular hang-out for gays in Manhattan's Greenwich Village in 1969. Such raids long had been routine, but this one provoked a riot as the crowd fought back.
The original Inn, which closed in 1969, was located at 51â53 Christopher Street, between West 4th Street and Waverly Place. The Stonewall reopened in 1972 under the same management on 22nd Street in Miami Beach but burned down 2 years later. In 1990 a bar called Stonewall opened in the western half of the original Manhattan location (53 Christopher Street). This was renovated and returned to its original name, The Stonewall Inn, in 2007.
