a hole in the wall
The hawk is what it is a hole in the wall where real men go.It is what you make of it I've gone here for years on and off.I can say it's safer and cleaner as well as no huslers in the bar or drugs.Beers are reasonable priced juke box is good.It's the only gay bar I can go to without being hassled for playing heavy metal in the juke box.It's not a place for twinks or drama queens it's a neighborhood bar for the working blue collar guys to relax and drink there beer it is clean also bartenders are good too Chris is the best.There are no nazis in this bar they arn't gay.It's a real mans mans bar for people 30 and over not the twist or bounce crowd.At least I can go hear and not have to hear that god aweful lady gaga crap or getto hip hop rap noise.
Toilet fun
Spent much of the night smelling the bowl after hot bears shat in it. Oh what a night! Will be back for sure!
fruits and nuts
the gentrification on the far west side has not yet reached the hawk. expect an unpleasant experience. bar is either too hot or too cold. customers are too loud or its dead quiet. wouldnt hurt to clean the john once every two weeks or so. tables are dirty. the words hygiene and customer service are not in the hawk's vocabulary.
new management needed
Tonight a near riot ensued. The bartender apparently insulted a customer who began throwing drink glasses, her purse, and other stuff. Other drunken customers tried to throw her out, with plenty of yelling, insults, and general chaos. Why???? The bartender refused to call the police,for whatever reason. After the irate customer's third time rushing back into the bar, I finally left. Someone said about a week ago another customer brought a gun into the place and threatened another bartender. The owners obviously don't care about the condition or safety of the bar. They must think ver little of their customers, as well as their employees. Ive had enough of the Hawk. Hopefully others stop going too so the owners get the message.
