The Black Cat
Cafe · Fast Casual · Los Angeles, CA
About
The Black Cat opens at 4pm on weekdays and 2pm on weekends, running until 2am every night. It's California's first LGBTQ+ historical landmark, a Silver Lake site that played a crucial role in 1960s activism. The space combines a historic oak bar with a fast-casual, cafe-style menu. After a six-year advocacy effort, it gained official landmark status in 2023.
A welcome, unpretentious vibe draws locals and visitors. You'll find cocktails and American fare in a setting that honors its activist past. If you're exploring Silver Lake, pair a visit with a stop at MILK for dessert. It's a short, easy walk between the two.
