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...

the cock by name, the cock by nature

This place is filth! I gave it 2and a half because even though it wasn't really for me, I still ended up staying. It's wall to wall men graving your knobs and dancers with hard ons on the bar winking at you (and not with there eyes) there's also a dark room. If that's ya thing then go, if not... Go just to be shocked!!! N then run

Great time!!!!

I live in Brooklyn, but every time I come here I have good time, A lot a fun, with some exceptions some guys they go there waiting for their Prince charm, guy you're in the wrong spot, and if you don't like nobody touch you stay home.

Thanks for the memories

I will remember my weekend trip to New York for a long time due to my visit at the Cock. Too bad they don't make gay bars like this back in Ohio. Sleazy, up to a point, and very fun.

It's a Dive!

...and pretty darned fun! There is no charm here and that of course is its charm. Dark, dirty, and delicious. That said, it is not quite as raunchy as others here make it out to be. It's low brow, no question about it, and low brow fun, but for the most part it was also pretty tame. My only real regret was that the DJ, who was playing some very good music, couldn't tell me who cut the remixes he was spinning--that was a bit lame. Overall, however, a fun time.
