In Short
This beloved gay pick-up joint relocated from its old Avenue A digs, but a neon rooster still marks its entrance and the raunchy vibe remains. A mostly male clientele mingles in the barely lit space, where dark glittery paint glazes the walls, graffiti covers the bathroom doors, and a big, bright cock (a male chicken, that is) adorns the wall. Benches and bar stools provide seating, but the floor is open for dancing.

I went to The Cook, (whose real name will not pass the censors) on a Saturday night. After paying $10 cover, I was surprised to find that it consisted of one small, very dark room where it was too crowded to dance. No one was trying except the go go dancers on the bar, who were not very good, and the music was just OK. The drinks were strong. I'm a woman, so I know that I'm not qualified to review most aspects of The Cook. From watching what was going on, it seemed like a good place for guys to hook up, with a crowd of mixed age and attractiveness. It would have been hard to have a conversation, though. Other reviewers are right -- this isn't the kind of gay bar where you should take a female friend. I got the stink-eye from some guys there.

Standing in line on a Saturday night several 20 something girls dressed like they were from Greenwich, CT, some with their boyfriends, were allowed to cut line ahead of the 30 or 40 gay men who had been waiting in line in a cold rain ahead of them. Is this The C**k or the Hammerstein Ballroom? Stay home and get online on manhunt instead.

You know what everyone is there for when you go to a place like this. It's a a hook up spot plain and simple. If you can't hook up here you must be some sort of mutant.
