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...

Holy Freakin' WOW

It is a very rare to find anyone or anything that perfectly know what it is, and does it perfectly. The Cock is a dive. It knows it is a dive, and has made itself into the perfect dive! This bar is a must visit for anyone visiting NYC. It is dark, dirty, and not for those who care about things like image, social propriety, or class. But if you want to go some place where all bets are off and all rules are negotiable, the drinks are strong (especially from the hottie downstairs!) and the boys are of questionable moral material, this bar is for you!

So Dirty... I love it!

It's seedy, there's no question about it, but the drinks are strong, and you will definitely see something that you won't see anywhere but in NY!
