Weird energy here. People just stand there and say negative things about you. Staff will make fake profiles to attract customers online but then make fun of you if you try to approach them in person. Feels like high school entering here. I use to work here for years before the renovations. They need better music. Place has gone down hill since. It's a shame. Never coming back here again. Also had my ID stolen. Pick pockets are messy.

Had a blast! Straight dude who was told about The Cock, and couldn’t leave New York without checking it out. Pretty simple exterior, massive rooster sign. Staff was welcoming and friendly from the moment we walked in. Top floor was a typical lounge, drinks were great. Downstairs is a different ballgame. Literally. But not for a moment did I feel unwelcome, not safe, or at all anything but another patron. Overall had an amazing night out with friends that included the cock. Had a blast, give it a try. Really wanted a tshirt but they were sold out :(

The place is Ok, they charge a cover, the place needs some renovation and to get more furniture for the lower level.

Had a great time here with my girlfriends the other week! Super welcoming gay bar for the ladies. Great go go dancers. Bartender could be friendlier. As women, just respect the sanctity of the basement where the hot action happens, and do not get on the way!

Dark, dirty and gay but in the best ways. Kind of like a giant dark room with somewhat of a dance floor and many darker corners. Definitely a fun night when both levels are open. Came for Sloppy Special Sunday and it was a blast. Gogo boys, dancing and friendly folk. Women and straight men might not feel totally comfortable, but compared to Berlin it’s still tame;) Cash only.

Had my pocket picked in this venue in November 2025. Be very careful because there no security staff to protect you here.

Great vibe if you’re looking for an intense, in-your-face experience. The dancers are full of energy, but be warned—they might follow you to the ATM if you tip too much. Also, if you’re working through lingering feelings with an ex, this is not the place to go, especially when you see them getting it on with someone else. Wouldn’t recommend for the faint of heart. Half star for the entertainment, but the hustle’s real

Hard not to stop by when you see the giant rooster sign. Could use some more comfortable seats.
