The Cock Formerly: The Hole

(76 Ratings)
Long-standing gay bar

The old "Cock" was all about sleaze and its large downstairs darkroom. This newer location keeps that tradition alive, albeit a bit tamer this time around...

Ace Bar

Loved it! As a brit we don't have bars like this, wish we did! Wow what a place it was full of hot, fit, sexy men.....I was like a kid in a sweet shop, the music was superb...much better than these pretentious shit bars, give me a real bar with great music and sexy men any day. Best bit was I got myself a fitty who looked like a young morissey, Hot!!!!

Too much for me.

I had a great time and met some friends, but it was a bit too crowded, and there was too much groping for my taste.

No frills. At all.

I was there on a Monday, so my opinion is colored by the fact that New Yorkers don't seem to go out Mondays. (It's not that way everywhere!) But this is a bar with no amenities. The DJ was fine, the bartender served well...but the place is small and dark and bare. And kinda empty. I couldn't help thinking about beautiful gay bars elsewhere with atmosphere! Perhaps the Sunday night parties are busier and more fun.

WASTE OF TIME/RUDE

The local gay book said they opened at 10pm on Sunday, we took a taxi and they were just getting there at 10pm to open at 11pm. Then at 11pm we went there and they were not ready yet and did not open until 11:15pm and then wanted a cover charge. Needless to say we left and went elsewhere. I have worked for many years and if I am supposed to open at a certain time the I do it. They had a "don't care" attitude. We will never go there again.
