The Cock Gay Bar New York
Longtime hole-in-the-wall gay bar with theme nights featuring DJs & go-go boys; cash only.
The Cock is a gay bar in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. It is noted for its exhibitionist atmosphere and popularity as a cruising destination. Described as “a rarified taste of old New York and the cruisy gay scene that existed [there] in the ’80s and ’90s”,[1] the venue experienced frequent police raids in the late 1990s and early 2000s under Mayor Rudy Giuliani. The bar has relocated twice, and its 2015 move up Second Avenue was initially met with community opposition.
