please make it real leather or forget it
Since this bar became cocktails several years ago the patrons have gone elsewhere. the management doesnt appear to know how to run a fun bar. supposed to be leather but most guys here dont look the leather type or even dress in leather. talk is that the dungeon will reopen but when it used to be open not many men used it and never any real leather just a lower level bar. i hate to give a bad review but you know if you wanna run a leather club then actually make it leather. im new to bars but internet sites have more leather action than any bar. seems like leather scene is going under in cleveland like it disappeared before i had a chance to join. other than bartender james- i agree- cocktails doesnt have much going for it.
James is a peach!
If they can rid the bar of the drag convention every Saturday, maybe Cocktails can be C Town's best kept secret. Its got the room, the basement (when it reopens), and nice bartenders. The location is not the best- dont park too far away, but I never had a problem here either. The jukebox is good (when it actually plays), and there's plenty of room to enjoy the eye candy and stretch your legs between drinks. They just need more real leather men.
Basement reopening soon :-)
Nice bar. Wednesday karaoke is busy. The basement is reopening this Summer so should be hopping on the weekends. Bartenders are nice. Strippers are nasty though. Never had any problems with the neighborhood.
Jeeprers visiting from GA. Had more fun at the Hawk and Twist and new bar The Church Bar all highly recommended.
Need more Cock in Cocktails
Whoever Ohiocub77 is, I agree with a lot of what he has to say in his reviews. James is about the only reason to come here (Saturdays and Sundays I think). Transexuals camp out at the bar every Friday and Saturday. The area is seedy, but i"ve never had any trouble either, yet I would caution guys unfamiliar with the area to keep their eyes open and not park too far away. The biggest reason not to come here is it's just plain boring- the biggest crime in a gay bar. Most of the bartenders prefer canned music over letting customers play the jukebox, it seems. Guys are playing wii, which occupies much of the floor. Why? Stay home and play your video games, this is a bar. That's what I mean by more cock in cocktails. At one time gay bars were all about sex. It's good to have some moderation, but most of us aren't asexual creatures. Cocktails is not conducive to cruising. And considering the neighborhood, if I'm gonna get drunk, it will be somewhere safer.
