Where It All Flows

everyone's a hater (almost)

Some guys think they're so cool. Bars are the same everywhere. Don't diss 'our' bar. Whatever. All you girls who think you're so hot, why don't you get up off your barstool and talk to someone for a change instead of congratulating yourselves on how pretty you are and how boring other guys are. I looked at 'Wolf's' profile and he's a damned good looking guy. Funny thing, these good looking guys make the rounds of the bars but usually go home alone. I wonder why. And the guys who think the bars are always so lonely---but they never strike up a conversation with someone they don't know. No wonder the bars are boring. The bars are dives where bartenders serve drinks. The bar is what you make it to be. That's all there's to it. Yes there will be ugly men, there will be obnoxious drunk ass queens. But most guys aren't like that. You want a change? Cut the attitude. That goes for out of towners and the regulars and the news guys checking out the Hawk or wherever. You want a change, be the change. Not that difficult, unless you're a fake.

strong opinions!

the hawk of all places brings out the best and worst in gay men. it may not be as horrid a bar as some of the posts suggest but it surely is not a good as other say. it is a dive it is in need of a good scrub down it has more than its share of trolls and other monsters but it also has some down-to-earth and easy-going guys and it is in a better area than either cocktails or mans world

this is an awsome bar

Ok guys all of u writting this negative stuff about this place need to check urselves. This bar is an awsome friendly very clean place to go. I thought the same thing about it when i first went here and i dont think that way anymore which is why i picked it as the bar i wanted to work at. The stuff and patrons are great people and we , unlike some of you, respect everyone. It is a fun bar full of fun people. If you didnt like it then go to your stupid twink bar and pose like always do.
