What People Are Saying About The Dock

In Short – The first bar visitors encounter at the Dock is on the patio with a sand volleyball court hosting live action and regular league play throughout the week and women's leagues on Friday nights. The second is a video bar where the Dock's visual offerings and video games can be enjoyed by all. The third bar is a dance bar with a DJ spinning European house, jungle, disco and hip hop every night.

Dock continues to reek

by travelerxxx

Sadly, the Dock continues to decline. I have a real problem with this place. First, they charge a cover fee of $10.00 which is ridiculous. Second, they have these damn Ham. Cty. Sheriff incubi patrolling the parking lots and chasing away cruisers. Yes, I know hustlers can be a problem, and I have no problem with cop chasing them away and, or arresting their diseased bodies. However, we don't need to be chased out of there if we are sitting in our vehicles wanting to TALK to other guys and take it elsewhere. Third, this place has too many str8 women and les*boes in it now. They take up space hot men could be filling. Fourth, most of us are not into Drag Shows and that ilk. Dock needs to get rid of all of the above. I won't spend my money there and hope it goes out of business fast. Hope someone buys it and creates a butch dungeon master theme and prohibits women from entering. Get your own dike bars biothches. And str8 biotches go to ur own str8 bars!

  • Pros: occasional hot men, and I mean occasional
  • Cons: the cops patrolling, the cover fee, females in the place, fem men

Highly Recommended on Friday Nights (Drag Shows)

by mvickeey

I would highly recommend Friday nights if you are looking for young crowd, fabolus Drag Shows and a lively dance floor with great music. I have been to almost all of the bars/nightclubs in Cincinnati, but The Drag Show on friday night here is better than anywhere else.

All other days of the week is kind of slow with very few people around.

  • Pros: Young crowd, Friday nights, Drag shows, Dance floor
  • Cons: Rest of the week

I liked it.

by JustMe88

I've never been to any other gay bars, because I'm a straight female.. but I did happen to go with a gay friend and I had a blast. I've only been 2 or 3 times but each time was fun. I went there on "goth night" with some straight friends and a Saturday with my gay friend. Each time was packed. The music was loud.. and I personally loved the shows lol but I guess I have nothing to compare it too. I have heard about its decline.. and I have heard Adonis is better. But for a few bucks its a good time. As for the smart butt remarks from the money takers, I've never had a problem. Most of the time I get complimented, and on Goth night the nice dude didn't send me back out to my car to get my ID, which was terribly nice of him. Aside from that, i think this place gets a B.

  • Pros: Relaxed atmosphere, nice people
  • Cons: I wouldn't recommend using the bathrooms.
