The Hawk

We went here on a stop over in Cleveland. It was a quiet Thursday night. The bartender Parker was very rude and indifferent to us. I would not suggest this place to any travelers. Maybe it is a local place that only caters to local patrons but as an out of town visitor I recommend finding somewhere else to have drinks!

Great little sleepy dive bar. Out of towner looking for a chill place... I like it! Great service, super friendly tenders.

THIS PLACE HAS BED BUGS! The owner is aware and will not Fox the issue. I was just at this bar the other day and found out from a reliable source that the owner knows of the problem but refuses to close down and solve the bed bug problem! There also have vermin and cockroaches on their bar. I wont be coming back to this place! Yuck!

The reviews are correct the drinks are strong. That's the only highlight.The bartender was too busy chatting with regulars to tend bar. Nonetheless less, I tipped $2 for 1 drink. The bartender couldn't be bothered to say thank you or anything else for that matter. I guess, they're only friendly to regulars. Never again!

The hawk is a down to earth gay bar with two floors and a back patio. It's more the place you want to grab drinks and enjoy an evening with friends etc. it's a must go place in the Cleveland area.

This divey, little spot serves up some very, very generous, cheap drinks. And like many other Yelpers have mentioned, everyone is welcome here!First, $24 for 6 tall tequilas on the rocks. I'm sorry... what?! No, I did NOT have all 6. But are you kidding me with those prices? And when I say "tall" I mean some of the most generous pours I've seen in a long time. And I used to bartend (and make my own drinks, ha!) Secondly, as I mentioned, this place is a glorious mixing pot of all, and it's frickin' awesome. I feel like that's something that's missing from a lot of bars and nightclubs in this area. Everyone was cheering for the Cavs, chatting it up--just a warm, inviting atmosphere. I'd say just about the only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the blasting teeny-bop dance music. But this is a hyrbid mix of a dive bar and a nightclub. And with the atmosphere and those prices--I think I can deal with the tunes. Can't wait to come back!

Went with a couple friends on Saturday. I should have known it was a gay bar, by the florescent rainbow in the window. Not really one for gay bars because I am a straight female. But once inside, I was surrounded by nothing but compliments of how beautiful I was. Lol! The drinks were inexpensive and good, and the people were nothing but smiley faces. Probably wouldn't be first bar of choice to go to being a heterosexual woman, but I definitely enjoyed myself.

my favorite gay bar EVER.I love that it's called the Tomahawk Cafe, because it is most certainly not a cafe.You will get the strongest drink you've ever had here. Trust me.I seriously love all the bartenders so much, but I have MAD love for Michael and Troy.I have spilled about 90,000 drinks on the pool table.Awesome pick up machine. Really fun music... most of the time. Best people in Cleveland.

Do NOT go here. My daughter went on Jan. 21st. She was there from 8:30 until 10:27, when she ordered her 2nd drink- she does not remember anything until waking up the next morning in her own bed. She is 45 and very responsible, and has never done ANY illegal drugs. She was DRUGGED and ROBBED !!! The owner and manager were contacted and have failed to investigate or respond. Horrible place to go - dangerous! Avoid at all costs.

I love the Hawk. I kind of accidentally came upon it after moving here. The atmosphere is nice, people talk to one another. It's void of any pretension or snobbiness. There is a pool table, which I'm bad at, but love trying. And there's a (small) patio out back, which I wish was bigger, but it holds enough if you try. Always down to go here.
