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.

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.
Heaven
Dirty Dark Raunchy, good music, hot bartenders and the redhead english door lady is awesome! go with friends but please do not bring girls with you, this place is not for girls!!!
Wow
I went here for the first time this last Saturday and wow. It is dark and crowded yes and they do say watch your wallets yes that's true. BUT so what! I consider myself a pretty regular good looking guy and that's pretty much what was there. It was awesome and the later it got the crazier it got! The only bad this was I had to leave because it got so hot in there I was actually sweating and it was packed with people. What a great experience though.
