Good for only one thing ...

by Greaves

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.

• Pros: Strong drinks
• Cons: No dancing, unfriendly to women

The C**k not what is used to be.

by eastvillager1

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.

• Pros: WAS one of the last refuges for gay men away for the 20 something yuppie bridge and tunnel straight crowd that invades the village on the weekends
• Cons: supposed gay male bar that allows gay men to stand in the rain while girls cut in line ahead of them

Total hook up place

by trip23

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.
