A Place for the Dead or Dying

At one time the Hawk was a diverse neighborhood bar. Now its more along the lines of patient that needs life support. Lots of men that are too drunk and should be cut off but the booze flows freely with no concern. Yes its cheap and sometimes watery but that doesn't seem to bother the permanent patrons. Some have been on the same bar stools all day and they smell but as long as they have money they will get served. The pool table area is more for romping around than playing pool if you ask people to move politely the tell you to F/off or grumble about why your playing. And it smells like Bleach all the time at least its clean?

The most uncomfortable bar in the city

OMG I went in to Twist and immediately I felt cold. People stared at me like I was from Mars. The fact is I'm black and heavy and I was treated like I didn't belong. Lots of guys in tight Kenneth Cole wear all staring and laughing. The owner/bartender was rude and even though he was busy he saw me wave several times and ignored me, until I went and got i his face and asked for my drink. Then he grunted at me and charged me 5.00 for a rum and coke (not top shelf) said never mind and left. I've been around long enough to know that I was not wanted.

This is not the Punch Palace

When you go to A Mans World you won't find those fruity drinks and Pretentious Patrons like at Twist. No you'll find neighborhood men that enjoy a good drink and good friends. The crown doesn't down there noses at visitors no matter what there age size or color. Untrue of many of the alternative bars in Cleveland.
