The Cock Formerly: The Hole
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.

I read all the above comments and I agree that it's a great place for sexy sleazy fun. Just wanna add a new idea .....it would be so much more fun if once in a while everybody would check in their pants too. It would be an underwear party. There would be less pickpockets and It would be so easy to get into someones "pants" without having to struggle with the belt! That's how we do it in Chicago at Jackhammer in the lower level called "the hole ".....interesting coincidence
Glad there are still trashy dive bars like this still in NY
Yes it's dirty and a hole in the wall, but when you're looking to get a little (or a lot) sleazy, this is prime. I went on a Sunday night to Sperm and had a great time, got exactly what I was looking for. The gogo boys were a little lame though. They're better next door at Urge. Outside of the Eagle, there aren't too many bars left in NY where you can let loose and have some sexy fun. It's definitely not for the prudish gay man with attitude.
"Now, be careful, love. It's very dark & they're all hands!'
That's the warning I got from the lovely English woman on the door and how right she was - not that that's a bad thing. Save the innocent act. You know you're going to end up here, if only out of curiosity. Well worth a visit - whatever your motivation.
When your in that trashy mood>
Love Cock
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!!!!
