This night went from slow to, oh my goodness yasss! Preface: this is not the place for you if you don't want to see men getting it on in front of you. The staff is very welcoming and as long as you follow the rules, will treat you well. Things got a little hot and heavy for me at one point and I lost my glasses, I was sure they were gone forever... well I asked around and they'd made their way to the front door and I am able to see once more! Thanks to the staff this dive bar has a great vibe read more

If you're looking for a very raunchy fun time with guys going at it everywhere, this is the place for you. Bartenders were incredibly friendly. The place smells like what you would expect, which can be a turn on or turn off for some. Definitely an experience. read more

Had a nice time the show the service was good. The drinks were good too. I would come back soon

Late night fun place. Always full of surprises and fun! If you're looking for a fuckn fun place, this is it!

Possibly the best gay sex club in all of the nycu five boroughs. Women are welcomed, but only on the upper level. The Sex Dungeon is only Friday night and Saturday nights. Sometime Sunday if it's a holiday or especially event. Bring your condoms bring your condoms read more

$20 cover! Outrageous. For what? What do I get for $20? I should at least get 1 drink. Since it's an all cash establishment we know that means that the owner is skimming the register and not reporting all the income. read more

Gross after hours club. Needs a remodel. People working there are NOT nice. Dungeon chic

Hot late night fun. Been in and out of here for twenty years when I visit NYC. Dancer Drew read more

Don't let the title fool you. I exposed myself to a person in the bathroom, concensually. I ate the french fries and the glizzy. Overall a great spot to cool down and have a great day. read more

I don't drink. And I'm not gay. So... there's a couple better places out there for me to find what I'm looking for. Tho I always at least get a little bit each time I've been here. read more

No food is served in this kind of place. Raunchy and wild. I just hope they would be cleaner but it's wishful thinking.

Most fun play bar in NYC. Wednesdays are routinely bad but Thursday to Sunday are fun.

It's wild and crazy. I guess the cover is somewhat expensive for what the place really is. But they serve super cheap drinks, so it compensates? ‍ read more

My boyfriend gave me an out of this world blowjob next to two beautiful dudes rearranging each other's guts. Five stars.

A real dive, but appropriately so. On a Saturday night, there was a decent, mixed crowd of men representing every conceivable background on the top and bottom levels. Downstairs had a lot of action; music was good, and not a jerk to be found, which for NYC was a pleasant surprise. Drinks are pricey at $10, but they were well made. I arrived late, but this is the kind of place you want to get to late into the evening. If you want a fairly no-frills good time and make some immediate acquaintances, this is a good spot for you. There is a monitored clothes check, I didn't use it, but if you come with a phone, wallet, cash, etc., you should consider checking a few items soon after you arrive. read more

So again on Valentine's day im singlejust stop by to see the best bar host in the east village hands down (on all 4's)

I had a jet lagged mate call it a night at 11, on my last night in NY. I grabbed a couple slices at the 99c pizza place just up the road when a gorgeous tattooed and pierced man turned up to order pizza. He said he liked my shoes. Turns out he was a Gogo dancer at Cock. I explained my situation and he guided me to the place, and offered to waive my cover charge. I went in and it was just the dive I was looking for. Dark lights, degenerates and dancing. Friendly bar staff, drag queens popping in from other venues, decent drinks and a cool atmosphere that I'm unlikely to forget. Stayed till close, helped clear up a little...and left to go to a party after with the hot Gogo dancer. He was a good kisser read more

The Cock - Just so you know... - Gay Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Yes it is one of " those places " that survived the guilliani purge . While this is not my type of bar to be in , there is some action down in the basement . Sometimes the gogo dancers will be doing things on the bar to the point of questioning wether its legal or not . The establishment is very dimlit with strobing lights. Was very hard to see and walk. Very easy to have stolen belongings.Bathrooms were extremely dirty and were not maintained well. Drinks are on the expensive side and have extremely small portioned cocktaisl ( even for a gay bar ).There is a 10 dollar fee to get in , but that can be waived when you show up either between opening and 11 PM . If you like the 1980s gayscene and want to experience what it was like, then by all means go . If you are a normal LGBT person who just wants a drink and a chat , it is a no go. read more

My friend and I stumbled into this place having no idea what it was. We were charged a $10 cover and asked no questions. Boy, we were in for a surprise! We were the only ladies in the joint, but the bar tenders, staff and everyone else there were so welcoming. We made so many friends and had a very unique, but lovely evening. This spot is definitely for late night hook ups for men, although (surprisingly) we even got propositioned a few times. Maybe they thought I was in drag. Anyway, it's dark, dingy and dirty and a bit over-priced considering the bottom shelf wine I was drinking all night, but I give it five stars for the experience and fabulous humans who were so accepting of us piggybacking on an experience that was clearly not meant for me. read more

Dark and seedy just about covers it. Popped in for a nightcap and just didn't feel it. It was just a little too dimly lit, every surface seemed sticky, it's a dive bar that prides itself in being a dive bar. Not fun. read more

If you know what you're getting into, this is the place to be on a Friday/Saturday night. Very much loved the drinks and the atmosphere. Bartenders were friendly as well. Will be returning. read more

I went for the first time a few weeks ago. Best head ever.Watching a pounding is a turn on.

I don't doubt that people have had what they perceive as bad experiences here, I think it's all about expectations. This is a gay dive bar and after a certain hour - usually 10pm it gets very cruisy and sexy. If you don't like that, don't go. The bartenders have always been nice to me and the happy hour special on weeknights is awesome. I can't really speak to the "racist atmosphere" comments as I am white, but every time I have been there, the crowd has been very mixed, I would say almost 50% men of color, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. read more

Watch out the bartender (tattooed guy). He takes advantage of you if he thinks you are drunk. I ask for 2 drinks ($10) and I gave him 2 bills ($10 and $1), I turned around and he called me saying I gave him 3 dollar bills. I wasn't drunk and I really knew how much I was carrying. Is not about the money but he doesn't deserve the job. First and last time I was there. read more

This may seem like a dive bar, but its atmosphere is part of its charm. The bar serves good drinks that are reasonably priced, and everyone is treated with respect here. read more

Dam this place got everything good boys all nice lots ass eating on.

The cock is fun, most of the bartenders are great. I just don't understand rob, the bouncer at downstairs who seems to be angry and trying to scare away customers read more

Let me just go ahead and date myself by saying that I've been to the two prior locations of this very honorable establishment. And while I have been visiting with decreasing frequency over the years, the Cock has always held a special place in my heart and throat. Sure it has always been a hotbed for fire safety violations and shameful acts. Sure the first thing they tell you when you arrive is, "Watch your wallets, lovie," and the bartenders are about as congenial as an ingrown butt hair. That is not the point. The point is the Cock has no peer. What other bar consistently has great music, moderately priced drinks and a very good chance that you might actually engage, tet-a-tet, with another non-digitized human being? So why three stars (I'd give 2.5 if there was the option)? Well for one, maybe I'm just a little sentimental. I used to visit this space with my girlfriends when it was Lit for the past 10 years. and I've been going to the old Cock for 10 years in it's former space. Two visits cannot convince me that this is the Cock. You can transplant my boyfriend's brain into a new body but until I hear him complaining about my habits, that muhfucka just a zombie. But the real reason why I'm not sold on this location is that there are certain criteria which made the Cock a very suitable house of ill repute. #1 It was dark enough so you felt a certain type of anonymity so if you brushed up against someone a little too close, your identity was protected from the light of shame you would otherwise inflict upon yourself. Also, for better or worse, everyone looks 10x better shrouded in shadows and clouds of vaporizing poppers, which is why everyone scattered like bugs under a rock when last call was announced. The new space, while still dark, is a few watts too bright to recreate that same safe haven. #2 The space should work by all accounts. Because what makes the Cock work is that when it's a good night you are forced to smash bodies with the other homosexuals because the space is smaller than a New York closet. That gives you the excuse to rub up against all the other depraved perverts without any introduction. This space, while narrow, is pretty long and too big to pack to the gills. I can really go on and on about how I prefer my strippers on the bar rather than in clusters, consorting with one another in the middle. About how the little stage area at the end is a lawsuit waiting to happen. About how my friend recently had his wallet stolen (which of course is nothing new). But what it really all comes down to is that it is simply not as thrilling, nor does it feel as subversive as it used to on second and second. I am no scholar on The Cock but this feels more like Mr. Black to me. At any rate, I will inevitably be back, as I am prone to do whenever a friend is in town and they're rubbing their asses against my walls like horny cats, pining for the stage of the unexpected. read more

Who doesn't love cock? wink wink Joking. My time at The Cock was short but memorable. We came to the cock on a ripe Wednesday night. My friends and I stepped into this bar for like 10 minutes. The hosts of Bingo Night were seated at the bar and they were so welcoming! Suddenly, a men wearing basically nothing but a tiny thong came around from the corner and was very friendly and kind. If we stayed a little longer I'm sure we would have made some interesting friends, but we had to go. After a couple watered down shots, we left The Cock. There is nothing quite like the Cock, that's for sure. And that is the very end of this story. read more

Went here for the first time on Saturday, and it gets crowded. But it's fine. Went Monday and I appreciate the dancer being so accommodating. read more

I have been here several times with my best friend for 4 years, and I have always embraced the culture and bar. Last night was the first time I experience negative sexism. One of the securities told me I should not be there, and it was disrespectful that a female was in their establishment, as it is meant for only males. read more

Nice bar. Great male entertainment. Drinks are okay staff and pretty cool. Music is a bit dated but overall I had a good time! You will too.

if the men were better looking i would be more interested....most of those in the basement are old and unattractive. hustle dive bar.

Very racist atmosphere since they moved. Only attracts white gays now that think they are better than everyone and they never get black go go boys anymore. Racist. read more

I never really knew what Tove Lo meant when she sang "...then I go to sex clubs watching freaky people getting it on" until I went to this place. That is exactly what you'll get here. I think it's worth the $5 - you'll have plenty of stories to tell at your next dinner party. read more

I should have known that a name like "The Cock" says it all. Cocks are what work behind the bar. I went with my boyfriend to get a beer for us both before we headed home. First off the bartender couldn't have been ruder: - he pointedly demanded IDs for us both before I could get us beer, which I showed him. - when I showed him the IDs and was proceeding to pay with my debit card, the son of a bitch then dares to abruptly pull away our beer bottles, saying "cash only". - I look at him dumbfounded for a second and then he threatens us "hey I'll just give your beers to someone else if you don't have the cash". - at that point I told him to go fuck himself, threw him money for the beers (which I'm mad I even did) and then we left the joint. Total crap customer service. There are far better gay bars in NYC then this trash magnet of a place. Don't bother going! read more

Sometimes fun crowd. Bartenders stink. Drink before you come and come before midnight.

WARNING: Cash and metro cards tend to go missing at the cost check! Ideally, do not use the coat check.

A dive bar that looks like it's been condemned on the outside, but is a lot of fun. Happy hour has 1/2 price drinks and the people are very friendly, as well as the bartender. I love to take my shirt off and have a drink or two and kick back. read more
