Is it possible to give a business zero stars? If it was this would be that place. In two words, ABSOLUTE SHITHOLE. I was in NYC for the weekend and out with a girlfriend who used to live in the city. We went to meet up with two of her friends who were already drinking in this shit stain of a bar. Upon entry I was immediately overwhelmed by the stench of straight up poo and the seedy looking clientele. Yes, at this point I should have left but who doesn't love a good dive bar and by this point we needed a drink. My friend went straight to the bar and ordered 5 shots of tequila, after flirting with our gay friend the bartender insisted that the drinks were free even after my friend tried to hand him money FIVE times. Thirty minutes later were being accosted by the bouncer who claimed "you've been asked to pay your tab multiple times". Um..... not true. But thats fine we drank the drinks of course we'll pay. We make our way to the bar, and pay for the drinks. On the way out one of my friends confronts the bartender to remind him in the future try not be such a bipolar lunatic. Long story short the next day, someone in our group forgot their bag at the bar and went back to retrieve it upon which he ran into the clearly deranged bartender who "served" us. He tried to apologize to the bartender (why, i'm still unsure) and the bartender responded with "I dont blame your friends, its the parents. They should have had abortions." So in conclusion this place is one big Ew. Gross staff, gross venue, gross drinks. Maybe they should use some of the money their charging for a cover to buy a lock for the bathroom.

I think I visited here before the move to the dirty basement. When I visited NYC my party buds, Alex and Brian brought me here to indulge in all the NYC naughtiness that the all hot bad boys come here to release NRG & jack off. Yes this place is dirty, dark and dingy and I just loved it as we can not get this in good old providential New England. It was loud, dark, hands a grabbing and groppin sort of place. Come here high or drunk and you will have a fantastic time. Otherwise in your sober mind, this place is not so fabulous after all.

This bar is where sin is born. It is where porn comes to relax. It is the trashiest, seediest bar I have ever been to....and the funnest. After being let down with the ridiculously priced joke that was SPLASH, The Cock proved to be a fun time with cheap drinks and even cheaper thrills. The place looks like a den of trash. The walls are black, the setting is pitch black (so much so that just entering the place I though I was going to be raped or murdered), but once you find the entry door to the main bar, you're good to go. The word SPERM was written everywhere in graffiti (it is the name of the night we went to, Sunday). There's painted dicks, sperm and pictures of naked men everywhere (especially in the bathroom). The drinks here were the cheapest we could find (about $7 for vodka cran). The music is pretty good, anything from gay anthems to UK. pop goes. But let's be honest, men don't come here to dance and sing. They come here to escape to that extremely dark and enclosed (with black tarp) corner by the exit. The things I saw happening there cannot be unseen. So if you want to have a trashy good time, come to the cock. Come alone if you want to be naughty but come with friends so you won't be bombarded by the seedy and sometimes nasty clientele this place draws.

I feel u D.A.A.. I'm confused with some of theses reviews, you go into a bar named The Cock and you're expecting a Tupperware party? Women (I assume) complaining about having their cocks grabbed? I've been going there for years and I always have fun. I'm actually disappointed if no one grabs my cock and ass. Makes me hit the gym harder. LOL Whether I'm drinking with friends or just trying to be a naughty naughty boy, The Cock delivers. Pun intended
(4)Zina R.
Filthy, trashy, scandalous hag heaven. Just like all the male patrons, I love the Cock.
(4)Mary Jane P.
lets just say wow!!!! Be ready when you come to this place. please be warned! Not for the naive. this was the 3rd bar I went to and lets just say we were drunk and not sure if we were seeing what we thought we saw in the bathroom......yes it was what we thought. But my opinion is do what you do...its not bothering anybody and your happy. good drinks and I had fun dancing.
(3)Ryan D.
What's in a name? Everything if you're named 'The Cock'. This place is the dirtiest, sleaziest place I've ever been in my life. That's probably why I love it so much. It's not completely devoid of the gay attitude that you are going to get everywhere else in New York City... but the place is so dark on the inside that you won't actually see the attitude. So who cares? Actually, that's a general rule about The Cock: Don't care. You follow that rule, you are going to have a lot of fun. I've been here by myself and with one of my friends. The Cock is a more a place to go it alone... it's very cruise-y and if you do go there with friends that you don't necessarily want to leave, you may find yourself in quite the homosexual predicament. Be careful though. If you choose the other option, you might find yourself with quite the burns-when-you-pee WTF by the time you get home. For all the hard knocks this place gets... yes, it's too small. Yes! It smells like pee on the inside! Yes, definitely an older crowd... but again, who cares? I almost always have fun at this place. And if anyone else reading this loves to have a sleazy and sexy time when they're out, I bet you'll love it, too. Any that door woman? Irene, I believe? She's amazing. "It's ten dollars, darling!" she'll yell night after night. Give her a hug for me if she's taking your money.
(5)Fabio P.
This place is appalling. Dimly lit and thudding with craptastic music and even less attractive men, the only redeeming quality is the cheap drinks. Still, for all the vile groping you'll get-- no doubt from some unattractive boor--the drinks should be free, there should be no cover charge ($10 for this shithole?!?!) and all the drinks should come with small packets of antiseptic.
(1)Michael F.
This is an old school gay dive bar and fun place. Guys are completely uninhibited here with their sexuality but it is not a backroom sex place. The music is good if you can find room to dance. Thank god someone is keeping the old NYC tradition of bar going. This is a dive that is intended to be a dive, and can be great fun. Weekdays are much better, when anything gets crowded, its not fun! The well drinks are not good and are expensive, they get one star off for that bullshit.

Dirty. Trashy. Dark. Sleazy. Drunken. Good. Times.

My friend and I were going to go to the Cock while wearing our tuxes after having attended a Gala dinner. We heard the cover charge for the party at the cock was $20, so we turned around and had a beef Falafel instead... The beef falafel was cheaper and our tuxes stayed relatively clean. At any rate, the Cock has been sucking ass for the last couple of times I've visited it with friends. Granted I don't go here every week so a regular Cock-goer might have stories of the more interesting nights like the time someone defecated live on stage, but I've personally never seen this show. If I'd seen the live defecation show then I might have given this place 3 stars, but as we stand now, The Cock, you only get two stars, and the second star is for the memories.
(2)George M.
This place was dark, possibly dirty, skanky and hot. Everything a dive bar should be. The dancers on the bar may not be the greatest but the drinks are strong and cheap. The first night at the back of the bar made me come back for more. The second night was packed wall to wall and just as much fun as the first night. Everyone should come here at least once. It's an experience.
(4)Darren G.
So I don't really understand the members who were saying this place isn't sleazy and gross; I guess by comparison anything can seem tame. Well if you're not used to strippers on the bars, getting groped, and other things of that nature than this place may come across as gross. The people were friendly, and I don't mean in the hand job kind of way, bartenders and bouncers were surprisingly nice. Also there were free shots at one point. I think they pump hormones into the air. Also, and I hate to admit this, but if you didn't think it was gross; trying stay until close when the lights come on. That may change your mind. Something to experience for any queerling in the city - some may choose to go back and others might not. But you'll never know until you go.
(2)Robo T.
dirty, sleazy. feels like someone's garage. FANTASTIC. I love it. The cover is a bit much for the venue, but the overall experience makes it worth it. The groping is real. Someone put fingers up inside my friends crack (over clothing, but still....) at which time he turned to me and said "....I think I just got raped, lets move to the other side of the room" And sometimes you cant move because its so packed. and FYI , MAN PARRISH spins here. He is 80's technofunk royalty...had a huge hit in the 1980's with "Hip Hop Be Bop"....sampled tons of times in the world of hiphop.
(4)Shane M.
Wow, I can't begin to tell you about the night. I mean I want to but most of it can't be shared in public. The crowd was fun and chatty, dj spun some great tunes (it's been a while since I've heard deee-lite at a club) and the Brit go go boy was rather charming. Ironic sign on the wall: No Sexual Activity Allowed.
(4)Christopher T.
_-Cab Over-_ Friend: I hope I can get my cock up inside. Driver: looks at me and smiles. Me: Uncomfortable Driver: Ok guys, right or left side? Friend: On the right - where that big red cock is. Driver: Giggles Thank you Mohammed Step out and there is the cock, just dangling above my face just asking me to come in and enjoy all the STD's he has to offer. I show the i.d. and pay the 5 dollar cover to get in and immediately find that it is dark and all painted in black. Immediately the song that comes to my mind is 'Anytime Anyplace' by the Ms. Janet Jackson, no other. We're in the middle of the floor, the music is awful, eyes are wandering, men grabbing my ass and i am slowly getting hot and sweaty. These two guys at the bar are giving me dead on looks and I kinda shoot them back. However I am so nervous ! What if they come over and start to mingle with me? I already know that I won't have to speak of the weather, this is the cock afterall. I try and look in other directions so that I won't have to explain the next day why I may be limping with hickeys all up and down my neck and thighs. I go to the bar and get a drink to loosen up a bit and try and relax and not be so 'i am too good for sex' look and personality. I start tapping my toe to the awful music. After a visit to the bathroom and an empty glass, we sent ourselves back home to Chelsea. Ick.Eww. Oooh. Yay. Thank You Ma'am
(3)Irene F.
Well this was quite the experience. Numero uno, my cover cherry was broken. That's right, the first and only place I have paid a cover (a whopping $3...but it hurt nonetheless), is now...The Cock. Christ almighty. It's dark in there, yo! So dark I got mistaken for a guy there...twice...by my friends. OK, so maybe the problem was that my gay male friends don't realize I'm a girl half the time, but whatev, I can be fabulous when the occasion calls. The occasion, however, does not call whilst in here. Good music...a few strategically placed poles...too dark to really see what you're drinking/touching/etc'ing... Oh, the bathrooms. The main one strikes me as a great place to get a blow job. Not from personal experience, obviously (anatomical difficulty much?), but let's just say, I've heard. The other bathroom? Well, it has a padlock. And the coat check guy was kind enough to bang on the door for me, saying "people might be doing drugs or like making out, you should get to pee." Awww, you cared! Except it was a little euphemistic to say people were making out in there...considering how dark it was, you couldn't tell what anyone was doing unless you shined your cell phone at them. Not that anyone I know would ever even think to dream to do anything so obnoxious.
(3)Justin H.
Ok. Let's call a spade a spade. This place is a complete hole...with a $10 cover...that's cramped and packed on the weekends...and people grope you there. But every once in a while...a girl just needs that. Plus, this is truly the only gay bar that offers such an experience. It's like the circus, well, bizarro circus. What I'm hoping to get across is that if you're looking for some seedy, sleazy fun, this is your go-to spot. If the first paragraph of this review turned you off in any way, you should never come here under any circumstances. It's dirty, raunchy and so dark that, unless you have night vision, you'll never know who was actually touching you. But hey, like I said, sometimes that can be fun. You just have to be the type of person that can let that kind of thing roll of your shoulder. Or be the type of person who really gets off on it. Also, unless they've changed things, they don't even open til after 11pm.
(4)Briana R.
Yikes... Reading over other peoples' reviews, I'm seriously questioning my ability to review this place. Cover charge? Ooooooooh yyyyyeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhh, I think there was a cover charge! Stage? I don't remember a stage.... Granted, this was the last stop of the night and my usual attention to details may have been hazy, but I remember enough to tell you this place is intense. Straight girls: you better be a good sport if you're coming in here late at night with your guy friends. Nobody's shy in here, that's for sure. That said, I know my friends love to go every once in awhile. This is a place to meet someone, but don't expect to sit down with your buddies around a table and chat about how the week went... Like Ruff N. said, it's sleazy, you'll get groped, you'll see some heavy making out but... It's called the Cock, c'mon!
(3)Kai K.
Someone said... "The Cock is totally sleazy and I get groped a million times a night" Huh? There's no longer any such thing as "sleazy" in NYC... nor anywhere else in the US, for that matter. For that, you'll need to visit Berlin or Amsterdam. Just the same... the Cock, perhaps, comes a tiny bit closer than other bars.
(3)Matt V.
Sleeze at it's finest... but come on, do you really need 3000 unhappy campers inside a hot room? It was WAY WAY WAY too packed (and I like packed), but when your feet aren't on the floor anymore, that's just wrong...
(1)Chris U.
In, perhaps, a tale so great that Hemingway himself could have penned it, the quick version of East Village dirty nightlife goes like this: There once was a dirty dive called The Cock (Avenue A). There also existed another dirty dive called The Hole (2nd Avenue). One day, as part of the most poetic merger in the history of mergers, The Cock merged with The Hole. You can't make this stuff up. Welcome to New York. And what is left today is the 2nd Ave location that defines the quintessential grunginess of what the Lower East Side bar scene was once all about (back when my father told me not to ever cross Avenue A, as I was sure to get murdered). There is most certainly no "type" of crowd here. Hipsters to twinks to pervs to punks to daddies to the "I wish that creepy guy would just leave me alone" types. The drinks are strong, but nowhere as cheap as they used to be ($6 for well in a Dixie cup? C'mon guys). The former downstairs den-of-seduction has been converted to a small bar with a second DJ and, surprisingly, the music, both upstairs and down, is good. By 1:00, it is absolutely packed - claustrophobic is more accurate. My advice is that safety is in numbers. Go with friends, gawk at what has dragged itself in that evening, get buzzed on the Papov/Majorska and have a good time. Most commonly heard phrase: "Is that your hand?" P.S. If she's in town, probably not a good idea to bring your mother.
(3)Billy A.
Damn, I lost my shirt last night along with my dignity. The Cock is the best when it's on and BORing when it's not. Sorry to be vague, but a little discretion goes a long way here!
(4)Ty R.
Sleaze + trashiness + bonethrowing = fun After several drinks elsewhere and the right kind of mood, the Cock can be a lot of fun and silly. A last resort to pick someone up for many. It's the ultimate for EV shitkicking. It's fun to dance there, and everyone is usually wasted. It's guaranteed that you will get felt up and feel a little wood pressed against you every now and then! What more could you ask for? I'd give it a higher rank, but I hate paying cover.
(3)Sara C.
God I miss The Hole. It rates an extra star, though, because hey, it could have turned into some terrible yuppie poseur place.
(2)evan d.
It was more fun when it was the hole, but the Cock on special evenings can still bring it. It really is insanely sleeze in the sense that while you are waiting for a drink someone might well likely just start unzipping your pants. I guess that's what it's good for though, so if you want random hand or more on your cock go on a weekend, get drunk and let the good times roll. If not, layer up and guard your privates! ps. don't wear nice shoes here the ground is filthy and will ruin them
(3)Marcus C.
Oh. My. Goodness. Did I really just see that? What a dirty bar!
(5)Anthony S.
It took three gay men a glass of chardonnay, vodka, a pint of beer, some sake and sushi and a quick cab ride before we made it to Cock. Then we realized they only take cash and someone forgot his ATM card at the sushi place. Another ride back up to 52nd street, we return, wrists stamped "PAID," we enter the dark bar. There, it was elbows and assholes full of gay men who could be any man if you could use your imagination. The go-go boys were not anything to write home about. In the back of the bar, where men sit and enjoy the party, is where the groping happens. To some, this bar is, como se dice "sleazy", but to me, its gay men having fun. Actually, having some guy try to run his hands down your jeans is a good way to figure out if he is a top or a bottom before you take him home.
(4)David L.
The Cock, in its new location, isn't nearly so sleazy as its previous incarnation on Avenue A and 12th street, and it's nowhere near the anything-goes standards of The Hole (formerly in the same space) -- but I think it's just low-key and comfortable enough... I always have an absolute blast here. The music is great, they sometimes give out free shots, there are sometimes very cute strippers, the drinks are strong and cheap, there's usually quite a few pieces of eye-candy roaming around... There's really no "dark room" and this isn't really a place where creepy trolls prey upon the innocent, but I definitely think this is a good thing -- this way we can all have fun, it's enjoyable to everybody, and it's a relaxed enough atmosphere for you to go alone or with a bunch of friends. The door staff and bartenders are all surprisingly friendly and attentive. And, perhaps best of all, the coat check people are very trustworthy... Good times!
(5)Tom B.
Whoa. I guess I'm pretty naive. The guy outside told me they had 80s and 90s music and it was a good place to dance. The doorman was an asshole. So anyways I paid the ten bucks. Then... it was kind of cool... you walk down this long dark corridor and there are sheets of plastic hanging from the ceiling, fog machines, "how exciting a haunted house!", a sign on the wall reads "no sexual activity permitted" (I think to myself, good... some decency in the gay world), then.... BAM!!! You get inside. It smells like B.O. and ass. Everyone is groping each other. Nobody is dancing except for the go-go dancers on the bar who undress and start to touch each other's bum holes. Above them is one of those plastic things hanging from the ceiling except written on it in permanent marker is "SPERM!" This dude right behind us starts having sex with another guy. I mean... I'm not a prude when it comes to sex but... who really wants to hook up with some random ugly mess in some dark creepy bar that is most likely full of STDs? Anyways. I guess it was just a place I should've known better than to go to. If you want an STD, you can't get laid, or you feel like watching people hook up... then go to Cock. Otherwise... I don't even know a good alternative. The 2 bars next door sucked too. Get out of E. Village?
(1)clb k.
There's something about the correlation between grimy and NYC. I had the pleasure of going here with a large group of friends since it's always hard to satisfy everyone (no pun intended). Of course in any given situation, I made the best of it and enjoyed myself. They DID play very good house music, which I am ALWAYS a huge fan of. Bartenders were accommodating while danced the night away. I could have done without the strange stench of this place.
(2)Ernie C.
one of my favorite bars in the city.
(5)Matthew S.
Without a doubt, this place is gross. A complete and total dump. I totally love it! Cheap drinks (for NYC), and more freaks than the county fair, you can't go out for a good time and not at least make an effort to stop here. The only other place that even comes close (surpasses, actually) this seedy bar is "The Hole" in Chicago. But thats another story. Weekend nights it can get pretty packed and they advise you to not keep your wallet in your back pocket... and I can see why, because someone's hand is going to be there weather you want it to be or not. Seriously, you gotta go at least once and get groped in the cock!
(5)Troy H.
I had such a GREAT time at the cock last Friday we went back on Sat and Sunday. The bartender Andy was the best......and one sexy motherfucker....and sweet as well.....and the go go boy Angel was also sweet. The staff was extremely nice....and did I mention Andy...hmm. Seriously a fun place to be with no attitude. Sunday was a little slow, but we still had a GREAT time!!!!
(5)Lindsay K.
Name says it all, sugar.
(3)Meredith S.
I just had to go here. How can I not go to a gay bar called The Cock? I remember a sea of trashed men and everybody calling me girlfriend. For some reason they were really excited to see a female. I remember a young man dancing around on some sort of stage with tiny shorts and I wasn't really sure if he was being paid to do that or if he was a customer...? Then I went to the back room area where a man was walking around with a flashlight and pointing it at people's exposed genitals saying "Stop that." Interesting experience.. but I will never go back!
(3)David P.
Disgusting, trashy, ridiculous dump of a bar. You feel the STDs attach to you the second you walk in. But exceptionally fun if you are drunk out of your mind. A good end-of-the-night-I-have-had-27-cocktails-and-can'Ât-walk-straight place. Enough said.
(3)Ruff N.
The Cock is totally sleazy and I get groped a million times a night, but well it's called the Cock so that kind of goes with it. I wish there was no cover and there where some younger guys but its always fun and weird and depending on the night good dancing and music. I love the big red neon cock.
(4)David S.
Sleeeaaazy!! The infamous "Cock" (look for the orange rooster above the door... hehe) not so recently moved here from a different East Village location. The place is really small, dark and smoky, and actually kind of boring. I didn't really get it: $5 cover just to stand around in a seedy basement? Lame gogo dancers on the bar, not too much eye-candy either... what's the point? Maybe I got there too early or didn't stay long enough, but the half hour I spent there with my friend did it for me.
(2)Jerome Espinosa B.
was here with two other friends, after coming from a birthday party 2 blocks away, & we stayed for an hour having a great conversation--- the signs on the walls of this bar that read like "no sexual activity allowed" looked very challenging to defy or to get around with and just do what i can with what's available on hand. it was raining that evening. the place was not packed at past 1am on a saturday (sunday actually) -- but i could see that a lot of interesting things can happen in this place. people are friendly, not looking like they'd like to be bitchy that night. there were also some irritating characters around - but can you actually run away from them? i guess we will have to always live with them just a few feet of safe distance from us LOL (that makes life interesting). the dancer was not at all interesting (maybe i have seen better ones, or maybe i'm not really attracted to the type - but i know the guy's working hard). this place is worth a visit again, and again (though it's not the "cleanest" bars around) - just to have some fun and a bit of distraction. and it's also for the brave of heart, and those who are sure of what they want in their minds - don't come here if you're unsure of yourself as you'd just be disappointed.
(4)Tom L.
Nothing but the radio on....
(5)Robyn F.
this was purely a meat market. there's definitely a lot of ass-grabbing here, and i think the patrons here are only looking for one thing. being a girl, i felt a little left out, but later regretted this when accosted by the 1 lesbian in the place. anyway, it was definitely an experience. wouldn't go back again, but might recommend to guys who just want to get random play.
(3)Bill G.
I clearly came the wrong night (Tuesday April 15). After paying five bucks to get in around 1:00 am there were (I kid you not) more staff in the place than patrons. There was the doorman, the cashier, the bartender, the DJ and two bored and underdeveloped gogo dancers one of whom was having trouble getting his jock waist band to lie "just so" and he kept scraatching himself (those labels CAN be irritating). I had a very weak and watered down Jack and water in a plastic Dixie cup, took a seat and watched a young east village guy gyrate in circles like a semicomatose Dervish for fifteen minutes, listened to two girls scream Oh My God on their cellphones about 20 times, then their fashion-designery gay twink did a few head tosses and they called it a night and left. I was not about to chat up a bored Dervish or fidgety gogo boy (maybe it wasn't a label after all, it could be scabies) so I retrieved my coat from the coatcheck guy, who seemed sincerely apologetic, the gogo boys jumped down from the bar and tried to find sweat to wipe off themselves, and while they were sipping pink drinks through a straw I called it a night too, after checking what I suppose is called the back room but is in fact two urinals and a stall to dump in. I'm eager to hear what I missed and to be convinced to try it again, but only if cabfare and door cover is included.
(1)Ray S.
man, talk about cutting to the chase. favorite gay bar, ever. my only recommendation would be to run a mop through the large bathroom (vip room) from time to time. (makes it a little more pleasant to be on your knees.) ; )
(5)h g.
It's dark, its seedy, the drinks are STRONG and so are the dick dancers. If thats what you're looking for The Cock has it all.
(3)Noah F.
Ugh I had to write a review because the bad reviews here were all written by morons! It's a bar called THE COCK it is exactly what you should expect!!! Really you brought your strait friends and your hag to a bar called THE COCK??!!! And you were surprised at your cool reception....It's a dirty trashy dicey gay bar and it is supposed to be exactly that, it's not for gawkers and your aunt Matilda It's an old school filthy dirty gay bar filled with bad booze and raunch, it's one of the last of its kind and that's kind of awesome, it is a holdover from a cooler dirtier real New York before this city became the college dorm room of overprivileged douche bags and the shopping mall/ pied a terre of foreign oligarchs. I don't really go there anymore but it makes me happy that it still exists, it's a vestige of an unfortunately dying New York
(5)George H.
Ya'll compare it to the '80 but really the '70 were the hot times with good back rooms(we were free innocent and playing really enjoying learning how to love with less fear) and basements. Yes by the '80 4-7 was more random downed out as some of the unknown spread "the Plague". So I guess this may really be an Fup combo of the underbelly of freedom and adolescence. Most of the time folks weren't into being rude unless they were being a Drag bitch.
(2)Sylvia L.
I walk by this place all the time and find this place to be very mysterious. A friend came into town and I thought this was my chance to finally step foot into this spot. Boy was it a big mistake and at the same time an experience I would never forget. There was no line so we walked in and there was a $10 cover charge. I wanted to walk away, but since I wanted to come in at least once I decide to go for it. The first thing I notice was the sign "beware of pick pocketing" I didn't know why until I got inside. (*) Walked into a really dark and hot room and to my left I saw dancers on the bar table dancing naked! I thought people were waiting on line to buy drinks, but I notice a guy giving a blow job. No way am I going to get a drink at the bar. That should have been a clear red flag for me to leave, but I paid 10 bucks so I had to make the best out of it. I walked deeper into the spot, but it only got hotter. I think it was done intentionally so people can take off their shirts. The more I walked it the more grabbing, touching and sucking I saw. I saw a guy giving himself a hand job and I saw more blow jobs. I was actually afraid to use the bathroom. I didn't go any further, but I notice this red light in the back. It remains a mystery to me since I gave up walking any further after that. This place is disgusting and gross. Where is the classiness? (*)
(1)Ed D.
Avoid this place at all costs. Do not go here. I am being serious. First off, it is a walking infestation of dirt, grime, bugs, smoke, fluids (bodily and otherwise), and other nasty disgusting things. The location is set near the growing area of the East Village however it remains lack luster to the bar's around them. The dingy, divey, gross atmosphere provides an unsettling feeling as you go around and look at the options available to you. There is a main and only bar that provides you drinks with ice that looks like it came from the back alley and has been sitting around. We only ordered beer's and ensured that we saw it being uncapped in front of us. The staff is ridiculously rude. Our party was composed of 1 Lesbian, 2 Gay Men, 1 married Straight couple. As paying patrons of the establishment, you expect to be treated with respect and dignity. Moreover, one expects to have an individual treat another human being as a human being. To the two gay men, they were treated as just another couple but since they lacked muscles and were actually wearing clothes, the bartenders and staff treated it like it was a bother. To the women and straight man of the group - it was hell on earth. They were ignored, treated like major crap, and overall disrespected. The bartender was rude, mouthy, made faces, and overall acted like a 2 year old throwing a temper tantrum. It was a spectacle of a display. Moreover, the staff around acted somewhat similar. Ultimately the price is "ok" - but not for the experience. If you are there to grab a few cheap drinks, then it may be ok, but if you are there for any other reason than for not having some funds, then i'd recommend and say to go else where. We were there for a short time and left immediately. We have avoided it and will continue to avoid it, advise our friends and others to avoid it as it is a disgrace and disgusting place to be called a "gay establishment".

The music sometimes is good but expect to be touched everywhere without permission, The men in here all they come is to have sex with each other , some nights it's pure dark so u can't see no one face clearly, most older unattractive men come here to get some pleasure ,beware of pick pocketers *

Yes, this place is divey and things go on in the dark. But that's okay. it's that kind of place. I had to give a one star because of two things that happened on my recent visit. No. 1: I got my wallet stolen while in the bar. The pickpocket approached me from the back and kind of pushed me to rush through the very crowded space for 20 seconds, and he abruptly stopped doing that. After about a minute when I thought I was leaving, I noticed my wallet, which had been in my front pant pocket, was gone. Very professional pickpocket. If you read enough of the reviews of this place, you'll notice a few professional pickpockets operate here. I was aware of it and was being very protective of my wallet. Still, I was robbed. The management can't seem to get rid of these criminals. No. 2: When I mentioned my experience to the guards at the door, they asked me to go back in and identify the pickpocket. It is an extremely dark place, and it was very hard to identify, but I knew it was a Hispanic guy, age 40-ish, about 5'6" tall. When I picked two possible suspects, they said these people were their regular patrons and they didn't think these guys did it. Really? When I mentioned I would write this incident on Yelp, the big fat black door guard didn't like it, and literally "exploded," calling me names and everything. When I asked him why I, the victim, had to be treated this rudely, he said, " You WERE a victim, but not now!!" Really? The attitude of this big FAT black door guard was extremely rude. He was so extremely upset that he looked as if he was on drugs or something. Finally he said, "Do not come back here!" Why would I?

All you need to do is look at the name to get an idea if this is the right bar for you. Many people are divided about this place of either loving it or hating it (hence why it gets 3 stars). There really isn't an in between. The cock is as divey a gay bar as they come. It is a throwback to what I would imagine dive gay bars were like before the early 1980s era of free love in every nook and cranny imaginable. If you are looking for raunch and filth, and you have an excellent healthcare plan, this is a 5 star establishment. If you are less exhibitionist or more reserved or looking for a typical dive bar to chill and hang with friends, this is a 1 star establishment.

I've only been here once and it was on a Tuesday night. A friend had suggested coming here, told me about certain "things" that goes on in the dark. Curious I was, s0 my group of friends decided to come here. Wasn't expecting much and still left with low expectations. Probably because the place was not busy. $5 cover. We stayed for less than 10mins and left. The place is almost pitch black.You almost have to feel yourself around. The place is small. There was 1 gogo dancer on the bar, he might have been naked but again, it was dark.
(3)Jen S.
How this place is been open for more than 20 years is beyond me it's dirty gross dark scary it's great for little boys and old man but if you're looking for a real relationship or trying to take a date to a place this isn't the place

when I lived in New York, I stumbled upon this gay dive bar in its NYC's local gay publication, "Next" (or was it HX? Does not matter). Of course, the wording of this bar caught my attention, "The Cock Bar". Later it turns out that the bar was not named after a penis, it was name after a male rooster aka Gamecock. That was clever thing to use. When I first entered the bar, I was in for a huge surprise. This is definitely my favorite gay bar in New York - one of the most sleaziest, funniest, craziest & cheapest gay bars I ever had encountered in New York. This place is definitely not for straight women and straight men. Lots of gropings, blowjobs, touchings, yelling and all that - it was very uninhabited environment. I absolutely loved the graffitis all over the place. This place is absolutely the LEGEND of NYC gay bars. After leaving New York City, I still miss this bar. Every time I visited New York, the first thing I do is to swing by The Cock Bar. R-

Well I always go on Sunday's and today I decided to take change and go see what's going on, everything was nice till one of the dancer went with other guy in to the corner, and started to kiss every single one like a stupid whore, suddenly I just touch h a little bit, and he said Ohh you have to give me 20 dollars, I said what? I said no, he replay I tell my security to take you out, what security? Where his friends a big black guy and Spanish, surely were his friends and they try to take money from other people, cause he took my money of curse I was having only a few singles and hi grabbed them from my hand. He ruin my night, but he won't stop me going there. I hope the owner takes care of that guy, cause is not good for your business (The guy that I'm talking about is a skinny Spanish from Florida he told me) NOT GOOD AT ALL FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS.
(1)Ryan R.
Sure, it is divey and gross, but isn't that what the east village and old dingy gay bars are about? Annoying cover but good drinks and lots of interesting spaces. I like their jock nights when those in undies get a free shot with the drink! It is an ice breaker and fun. Large clean bathrooms too. I like that. No long lines. I am a fan. Thanks all!

An institution that's been around forever, the Cock is for people with questionable taste and a lack of inhibition. Dingy, dirty, dark, and smelly with expensive cheap booze that seems to be a different price depending on the bartender's mood. All in all though, it's a place to just, surprisingly, unwind. You can dress like a diva or a hobo, and you'll never feel unwelcome. Depending on the night, the crowd can be quiet and friendly or loud and rowdy. The best time to come is early in the evening, escaping the "entry fee" and the fear factor. God forbid you have to venture into the open dungeon of a bathroom - no walls, no doors kinda deal. That being said, this is primarily of course a gay bar/dance space/etc. But a lovely lady won't feel threatened. Come in, enjoy the eye candy, and hopefully leave a little less judgmental.
(3)Jeff B.
It's called The Cock. They make literally zero illusions about what you're going to find inside, and they deliver it, in my experience, every time. This place is an institution. You have to love it for what it is, because nobody does it like them. Period.
(5)Cat C.
So here is a review from a mostly straight 24 year old female. I was out with 2 friends and my boyfriend when one friend suggested The Cock. I was warned that this place can get intense but I was up for anything. When we entered we were told that we came in 2 minutes before they were going to start doing a cover charge. Not sure how much that would have been.There was a coat check and wallet check as well as signs warning you against pick pockets. Since it wasn't very full when we came in we decided to forgo the option. As we entered it looks like a true sketchy dive bar which I didn't mind. Drinks were served in the plastic cups you would find at a water cooler and were on the expensive side. Also they didn't have water, you had to buy a bottle. Usually when I go to a dive bar in the city I pay about $8-$9 for a Jameson neat ($10-$11 if I'm at a fancier place), but I ended up paying $14 for this and a bottle of water. I'm not sure how much each is on it's own. One thing that struck out to me was that virtually no one in the bar was drinking. This was primarily a place where men go to to get laid. After about 20 minutes the air started smelling like penis and balls and two men got buck nakked and started blowing each other. None of the workers batted an eye and as intense as things were getting...I strangely wasn't uncomfortable. Later in the evening this cute geeky guy started blowing someone off but they were being more subtle and were fully clothed with guys creating a circle around them. Me and my boyfriend ended up leaving after an hour since he hates bar in general and the penis smell wasn't helping. I had to use the restroom before I left so I made my way there past the two guys still going at it and into the bathroom. There are two bathrooms, one has no door but seemed to be guarded by a bouncer? The one I went to had a door but didn't lock so if you can try to have a friend watch the door for you. All in all it was an interesting experience. I would have stayed longer had my boyfriend not been pestering me but it also wasn't my kind of bar. I didn't mind all the sexcapades but I usually like going to bars where there are people interacting, drinking and partying. It looked as though everyone was standing around to themselves watching people blow each other and waiting for someone to come up to them. Another thing to note was though this is a place where guys are usually looking to get some then and there, no one made me feel like I didn't belong. There was one other girl in the bar and she seemed pretty comfortable as well. If you are open to new experiences then by all means visit The Cock. I can't comment on the go-go dancers, crowdedness and pick pockets since I left before it got too busy but if you go before midnight you should be able to avoid some of the craziness.

I love happy hour 2x1 all drinks it is cheap and the bartender it's cute, I don't know why in yelp appear like close but it's open every day after 5pm. This place is great, really authentic and cheap, feel free to do whatever you want and very sexy guys at nights. It's a most in NYC
(5)Zach P.
Scared is what I was when I entered The Cock. This place is cash everything. I was unaware and I don't even remember the last time I had to pay to get into a place in New York. I came here to meet up with some friends and the guy at the door said "make sure move all your cash and your wallet to your front pocket & watch out or pickpockets." That right there should have been my cue to turn around. As I opened the door and walked in it was almost pitch black you could see anyones face and It was just really scary. I guess the night I went on was an underwear party because I didn't see anyone with clothes on and as I made my rounds trying to look for my friends I came across a dark corner where someone was getting a blow job, I was appalled, and after that I made my way to the door. I never want to go back there again. #neveragain
(1)B. M.
I stopped by this establish with a friend once. The music was really good and the staff is friendly and warm. The clientele is very diverse. However, if you are looking or conversation or to dance, this is not the place for it. Most of them appeared to be there one reason only. That's all fine and well if that is what you are seeking. However, I was not there for that reason. So, I left after a couple of cocktails. It was nice but not what I am accustomed to.
(3)Brandon V.
Don't listen to the negative reviews, but don't listen to the positive reviews either. Don't listen to reviews. Just stop reading this. A star rating for The Cock is almost irrelevant; it should be considered less a bar, and more a gateway to an alternate dimension - a thing that is there, a special place where the light of social mores (or the light of incandescent bulbs, for that matter) has never shone. What I'm saying is, it's a goddamn national treasure. When I arrived with about 8 friends at 2:30am on a Sunday, the place was packed. There are no doors on the bathrooms, there is no stall around the toilet. The bartenders were completely naked. Two gogo boys were outright fucking on the bar, right in front of a sign that said "NO SEXUAL ACTIVITY ALLOWED". The top was having issues with whiskey dick, though, it seemed. You can't make this up, nor can you cast a judgment on it to warn or recommend the bar to others; either you are down to be a participant or a voyeur to absolute sleaze, or you aren't. Take it or leave it, but definitely see it for yourself.
(5)Leo B.
This is the one bar straight women really should not enter. Please understand this is a place for men to let lose without judgmental eyes. Straight women, you can go to gay bars- just not this one.
(3)Samuel M.
Wow, this a shit hole. Two blocks across from Houston street you find this hidden, dark, and smelly place. The first thing the hostess warns you is to beware of pickpockets. When you get inside the men touch you without prejudice, oops. In the bar there are four semi naked strippers where they can be touched for the quantity of one dollar. The vodka was the worst I ever drank, too strong, too cheap. There is a sign that says that you can't have sex inside. Gross, dangerous and sick. Never again.
(1)Kees T.
Absolutely overrated. Twenty dollar entrance for cheap jerking gogodancers not even focused on entertaining guests. In the back it seems to be like clearance sales at Macy's, grab all you can get. Old, young , drunk, wacko's everybody can join. Cheap and sleezy is all i can say.
(1)Jason B.
Ummmm how should I say this? ok... I was eye-raped. No, he didn't listen to my pleas not to visually rape, no, I was pretty much eye raped, wham bam and left broken. It's like those weird situations where your conscious says WTF are you doing here?! get out NOW, I said turn around, and walk away, yea that. I found myself at the entrance below the large illuminated rooster sign, at the door to a dark hallway, yea dark like haunted house dark. And, the lady checked ids, said there was a $10 cover (seriously?! to this dive, ok, I guess), handed the money and I'm given this piece of paper and a cock stamp. As I'm walking in, she's like, you should put your wallet in your front pocket, there are pickpockets, BEWARE! we have a wallet check too. Ummmm ok... shouldn't this be told before you pay? So my consciousness is like, umm yea... stupid and I'm like, Oh Jeez. and the paper slip says, BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETS, and my friend's like, fuck. walk down the dark hall, turn right there's a door, and open it to the smell of... yea it's like a dirrtty bathhouse. with dimmed red lights, dildos hanging from the ceiling, and even dark corners are so dark that I don't realize there are people sitting there. It's sleazy, drinks served in itty bitty plastic cups, it screams dirty, and oh, there are two dancers on the bar, and the rape begins. No, not hot studs, more like a young guy with a beer belly in a onesie. yea eye raped. Oh, and it feels like a meat market where older men ogle these dancers, with some porn music, and porn lights. can I get my $10 and my cock virginity back?
(3)Sezm E.
Anne Frank should have hid out here. She never would have been found. ....and she'd have plenty to write about. I-Yi-Yi, where to begin. First off, get slightly buzzed at a good establishment with over-priced drinks before venturing off for the Cock. It will be worth it. Sober at the Cock is just wrong. Secondly, the pick-pocket is at the front door taking your $10 cover charge. Really? The place is so dark your eyes still need to adjust even though we entered at 2:30AM from the outside darkness. It is dark for a good reason. My gag reflex immediately went into overdrive. A combination of rancid semen and urine (blended with the arm pit smells of about 300 sweaty men) had me dry-heaving and my eyes watering (to say nothing of my friends laughing as they pushed me forward) in record time. I should have know better, but hey, YELP said the dancers were cute...and cheap. Forge ahead. It was like human bumper cars. No one likes a crowded bar more than me if you want a cheap grab, but this was ridiculous. It would be impossible for a drunk to fall over. You can't step back from any groping, there is no place to go and they know it. I just wanted to find my wall and observe, take it all in. And take it in I did. The 60 year old man in the thong with a glow stick cock-ring was just the right touch. But as it were, a relatively attractive, rugged man let him grope him all he wanted, as he just looked off in the distance. That is when I realized...no attitude...check it now...just have fun. Not that I ever got use to the smells, but I did get use to the darkness, and enjoyed watching all the jacking-off and BJs. I so wanted to participate in some but was seriously worried about needing a shot of penicillin just from being there. I had more than my fair share of hand gropes. A mix of guys made it so interesting...young, old, masculine, twinkish, voyeurs exhibitionist...all enjoying themselves. I would definitely go back next time I'm in town. It will still be dirty...it will still be sleazy...but I'll be without my friends.

So...late one night, me and my best friend were roaming the Lower East Side as we always do for a good night out. All of our friends had gone home, but us crazy kids were still up for partying and checking out a few more bars. We were walking around, looking for another good bar or party to crash, going in no particular direction. We were strolling and sashaying in uncharted territory, when we saw a glimmer in the corner of our eyes. A sparkle....a light. A neon light.... A bright, pinkish, orange, neon..... COCK. It was beautiful. Naturally, my friend and I strolled right in. Once we turned the corner, we were greeted by two bars, loud music, and suspecting eyes turned our direction. It was heaven. Good drinks, and GREAT go-go boys. My friend, a straight female, had NEVER seen go-go boys like the ones they have at Cock. And let me tell you....I cashed out a $20 in $1 bills and let her go to town. It was one of the best nights we've ever had. Definitely worth a visit!!!
(5)Ashley M.
Greatest Gay Bar of All Time! ROCK OUT WITH YOUR COCK OUT!! Boys, Boys, Boys! Buy you drinks in bars! Boys Boys Boys! If your not comfortable with your sexuality, sex, drugs, rock and roll, then you should probably never attempt it. The most interesting Boys in NYC. Nice bartenders, love the door lady! She is fierce! They have a coat check! YAY! Two floors on busy nights. Dark & Dirty and No windows! Smoking outside in a little area Look for the Neon COCK! THE COLDEST BEER IN NYC! Stiff stiff and cold drinks..love
(5)Louis R.
Yea so... I was chillin with a couple of my gay bros in the e.vill and after getting splashed at d.b.a., they decided to drag (seewhatididthere) me to this gay establishment. Its a veritable cornucopia of different strata of gay dudes...bears, cubs, twinks, rice queens...its a one-stop-shop if you're into this lifestyle. Lots of Lady Gaga and Kylie Minogue playin while dudes were "dancing"...uhh...it says "no sexual activity" right on the wall. C'mon, get a room, no one wants to see that! The one thing that I really didn't like about this spot is that 70% of the dudes were more diesel and prettier than I am. Its hilarious chillin with the gays at The Cock.
(3)Keoni G.
The name says it. It was a hole. Really grungy looking, kind of a sketchy neighborhood. Its also a hooka lounge to so if your not a fan of smoking then its not for you. It actually gave me a headache from all the second hand smoke. But it was worth the stop, drinks were cheap, bartender was cool, and drinks were super strong.
(3)John R.
I feel like everyone should go here once, super drunk, with their friends, and never tell anyone else about it. But, that's kinda it. We all got laid that night, so that's nice, I guess.
(3)Aville C.
This used to be one of the coolest seedy cruise bars. The bouncers were extremely rude, charged us 10$ each to get into an empty bar on a Friday. Total rip off. A sad shadow of its former self.

Everyone should walk into a bar called 'The Cock' atleast once in their lives. For the uninitiated -- The Cock is a gay dive bar in the East Village with a bawdy reputation. It opens every night at 11 pm, and there is usually a cover of $10. The space is very dark and not nearly as large as I thought it would be. Basically one room with a bar. There are go-go dancers, cheap drinks, and a variety of characters -- local hipsters, bridge and tunnel folks, and the occasional elderly gentleman wearing a thong and a fanny pack offering to provide oral sex to all comers -- your typical East Village crowd. While the decor of cardboard penises, and theme nights such as 'Sperm Sundays' would lead one to believe that there is a world of debauchery awaiting the patrons of The Cock. There is -- but not as much as I would have hoped. While I did see and touch a real live penis or two, and had my ass grabbed a few times -- I never witnessed or experienced anything beyond that. Now I didn't stay particularly late -- till about 1 am or so. Perhaps later in the evening a full blown orgy breaks out -- who knows? Regardless, I enjoyed myself, and bet you would too.
(3)Matt E.
My New York friends took me out on a very long pub crawl to show me the NY gay scene, and this was the last stop. The things that I saw....oh the things that I saw. If people are saying that this place isn't sleazy, then I don't know that I'd want to see what sleazy is. It was probably after 3:00 when I got there, and the back room was definitely in full effect. Everybody was incredibly friendly, but that might have just been because they wanted to get me naked. who knows. Judging from my spotty memory, I have a feeling the drinks were strong, and affordable by NYC standards. I felt dirty and ashamed of myself the next morning. I can't wait to go back.
(3)Will P.
Terrible. Gross. Smells like dank meets piss in a pool of sweat. Great bartenders but super pricey drinks, and short at that. This is all after a $10 cover. EXPECT to be groped. I spent the night swatting hands away from my bum and crotch. One guy was actually pissed I wouldn't let him cop a feel. There was an Asian midget blowing a guy in the middle of the bar. Literally blowing away. Gross!
(1)Diane D.
I ended up here one night after 3am after heavy heavy drinking. I was the only vagina there but I didn't care. I'm from NYC...bars like this don't phase me at all! I went into the bathroom to check my makeup and WHOA...don't mind me...I just need the mirror. Honestly, I didn't care about who was doing what to who and who was watching but then someone screeched "There's a girl in her" and the party was over. It wasn't anything overly offensive and I told them to continue. The bathroom was seriously the brightest place there and even though I was at the cock and it was well after 3am I still needed to make sure I looked good! I'd like to come back a bit earlier, but not too early. I don't want to take up space where I'm not wanted but I'd love to see the place with a few more bodies so that I could dance!
(3)Mj C.
To be totally honest, I came here one night randomly with a friend because we like to go on adventures checking out the "alternative" gay scenes in NYC. There was promise of "live porn" and free "crotch grabs" here, so hey, why not? Grinding is essentially the same thing ain't it? However we were deceived. Horribly, Horribly, Deceived. The only penises that were seen that night was the plastic cut out ones hung up on the ceiling and walls. Other than that it was a relatively empty, not so attractive crowd (good mix, just not attractive...) and sadly on top of it all, the DJ played some funky stuff that no one wanted to jam to - even the go-go boys seemed reluctant to move it to his mixes. That or they just can't dance... I'll blame it on the DJ. We were there during prime time mind you, from 1:30-3AM SO HERE'S THE BOTTOM LINE MY FRIENDS: No more dirty raunchy raw and oddly exhilarating good times at THE COCK. There were big ass signs that said "by orders of the NY health department, sex is not allowed" signs all over the place, so I'm assuming the popos busted this place and now management has to be strict about keeping things kosher. Damn you cock-blocking NYC police department!
(2)P. D.
The cock is not for the faint of heart, but easily one of the 'best times' you'll have at any NYC gay bar.
(5)Ali F.
I went on a Saturday night, and showed around 12:30. Man, it was packed! The music was a little forgettable, but with all the pushing and shoving amdist a fun crowd of rowdy drunk dudes, I found it hard to pay attention to the music half the time. I thought the dancer on the bar was a nice touch to the scenery. A good mix of people I'd find attractive, barely attractive, or right up my alley. It didn't seem anywhere close to impossible to get anyone's attention, probably because the crowd was just that diverse. I've spent a good deal of time dealing with the Philadelphia gay scene, which is far pickier than what I've experienced in this place. So yeah, I approve!
(4)Gabby M.
A-OK if you like getting your cock grabbed without permission. Be forewarned: you waive all rights from sexual molestation once you pay that cover charge. Maybe you like that sort of thing, so go ahead and shake that skanky tail feather. The roosters will be all over you before you've had your second dirt-cheap drink. They price the drinks a little too well- almost as if they want you to drown your newly lost self-respect with alcohol- so you can keep coming back. You will come back, too, for some more sleazy Cock action. Just like most dirty, raunchy, "anything goes" dives in the East Village, you can file this under "Guilty Pleasure." Cock-a-doodle-ewwwwww!
(3)Rene N.
So against all common sense and advice from people I decided I just had to experience the trashiness and so we went. At the entrance we got offered blow, they were kind of aggressive. Paid five dollars and walked in, experienced night blindness and thank god for it. It was insanely dark inside and there was a solitary stripper dancing on the stage but he was pretty boring. The whole experience was fascinating in that guys would just bump into each other and then start dry humping. That was it! Like mindless cattle just dry humping away. My bf got hit on by a guy that looked like Lisa Simpson. Pretty much a stupid experience, we left and got pizza.

I think some people here (especially out-of-town women) are posting reviews without actually having visited this place. I am not saying they're making their reviews up, but I suspect they may be confusing this place with another because their descriptions just don't seem right--and there are several gay establishments in the immediate area (e.g., There is no stage at the Cock, Rene from Chicago!). This place isn't just about groping at all. It has a little something for everyone. I know the Cock very, very well, and I go there once in a while with my friends--so some of them can do their thing along the South side of the establishment while the rest of us enjoy the cheap, strong drinks at the bar. If you stay around the bar area, nobody will bother you the way some people are describing (and if you aren't attractive--let alone a woman, people will leave you alone completely, as well). The go go boys here are way above average, and the energy is generally good. Unlike what some are saying, the crowd here isn't geriatric at all. In fact, I'd say the typical age range would be between 21 and 40. I think you'd stand out if you are over 45ish or so... Most people I have met there have been guys in their 20s (perhaps closeted) who are looking to get off. You just need to know that: (1) the place is empty and not as fun before midnight on weekends; (2) the make-out area is really dark, so be sure to get adjusted before proceeding; and (3) if you don't want to see men having a little fun, don't go to a gay bar--this place in particular--in the first place. It's just tacky for women and non-gays to go to a gay bar and complain that men are making out...
(4)R S.
Don't go there before 11pm.... its close. A++NYC experience......I mean really A++ !! Its filthy & nasty.Call it what you want.................it was full on fun. You really need to be in it or stay away. Why does it have to be on a busy traffic Ave ? Bring a gas mask if you dare. Yet you may get popular there with it !!! Good selection of guys, ages and things to do if you know how to maneuver yourself :)
(5)Joey C.
Please....let me explain! I am giving this place a five star review because, compared to any place that I have been to, it doesn't. It would be unfair to compare it to any other bar, because I haven't BEEN to any other bar like it... So... ONE STAR for the sex booth scent inside....Quite pungent, but not the worst! TWO STARS for the fact that there are some good looking strippers walking about the bar tops THREE STARS for the fact that the drinks are cheap and strong FOUR STARS for the fact that I've never seen anyone eat shitty cornflakes for a Tom of Finland Black and Blue ticket(don't ask!) FIVE STARS for the memories with my ex- best friend Rey (I miss you, bro...where you at???) and that Australian biker guy...oh WOW!!! (Don't ask!) It's filthy.It's cheap. It's dirty.It's dingy. It's fabulous!!!
(5)Michael B.
Ok. I am all for the occasional dirty/skanky bar but this is something else. This is dirty like you can't touch anything without protection. This is like a NYC gay bar from the 80's. Most of the people here are also from the NYC gay scene in the 80's...and they were 30 years old then so.... No thanks.
