The Cock Formerly: The Hole

(396 Ratings)
Long-standing hole-in-the-wall gay bar

The Cock is one of the few remaining cruising spaces in New York City. It offers a two-level interior with a dark room in the basement. The venue is known for its backroom scene, while the main room hosts themed parties, go-go dancers, and DJs, all under a discreet neon rooster sign.

fun but good luck knowing when to go

Fun bar, when people are there, website sucks, as a visitor, you have no idea about hours of operation, the events flash by so fast you can't read them. Other then that it was fun, it irritates me when business are in the business of entertainment and have a shitty web site.

A hot place

It's the only club I've found in NYC that has something like European darkrooms.
