Description

Behind a simple exterior marked by a massive rooster sign, this longtime hole-in-the-wall hosts theme nights featuring DJs and go-go boys. Visitor receptions are highly mixed: while some patrons find the space welcoming, others report cliquey social dynamics and issues with security, including reports of racial profiling. Plan for a cash-only requirement at the bar.
