NEW BARF CITY
I agree with jet1710- this place is a dumpster. A couple of cute guys but the rest was human flotsam. Weird looking men who looked like they havent showered in ages. The bartender took his sweet time serving customers and the music was crappy dance schlock. Only for guys so far in the closet that normal gay clubs are intimidating. And for men so old that they have given up on normal people and any normal standard of hygiene.
GREAT DIVE BAR!
Great fun, nice people... definitely a fun spot.
A DUMPSTER
The bartenders here are socially inept...they ignore most of the patrons...they dont say hello when you walk in the bar or even acknowledge your presence while you are at the bar...the other patrons are loud and obnoxious...only saw 1 or 2 guys even close to being called attractive...most of the crowd looked drugged out and unhealthy in my opinion... dont waste the time energy or money to patronize this place.
2 much drama
more drama happens at the hawk than at any other bar in cleveland. chris b has his drama mostly dealing with gross str8t bar skanks and loud drunk customers. troy can have his drama with drunk guys who hit on him and get spurned. couple of weeks ago a drunk barqueen threw a hissy fit and overturned a garbage bin in a jealous rage over troy. no more drama. if i want that i will stay home and watch a soap opera
where flies go to breed
the hawk is not clean but it is fun. chris is hot yes. hes like an indie bottom but fun. no other bartenders there are hot though. true the hawk smells but the kind of men who go there smell. as a leather man that doesnt bother me. it is kinda blue collar but lot of guys are offce workers and stuff who try to look like blue collar. when its hot it can get grungy and smelly too much and lot of bugs fly in but if you meet a hot man than it doesnt matter so much and sometimes the men can be real hot if you like bears and men like them.
