The Cock Formerly: The Hole

(397 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.

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!
