Toilet fun

Spent much of the night smelling the bowl after hot bears shat in it. Oh what a night! Will be back for sure!

fruits and nuts

the gentrification on the far west side has not yet reached the hawk. expect an unpleasant experience. bar is either too hot or too cold. customers are too loud or its dead quiet. wouldnt hurt to clean the john once every two weeks or so. tables are dirty. the words hygiene and customer service are not in the hawk's vocabulary.

new management needed

Tonight a near riot ensued. The bartender apparently insulted a customer who began throwing drink glasses, her purse, and other stuff. Other drunken customers tried to throw her out, with plenty of yelling, insults, and general chaos. Why???? The bartender refused to call the police,for whatever reason. After the irate customer's third time rushing back into the bar, I finally left. Someone said about a week ago another customer brought a gun into the place and threatened another bartender. The owners obviously don't care about the condition or safety of the bar. They must think ver little of their customers, as well as their employees. Ive had enough of the Hawk. Hopefully others stop going too so the owners get the message.

Its attraction is beyond us

Whats the deal with short white guys and tall black guys? Whatever it is the Hawk has alot of it. Besides the interacial thing I dont know why any guy goes to the hawk. My friends and I had a few drinks. Someone snagged our table while we played pool. Some dude skipped our songs on teh jukebox to play an hour of disco crap. And teh bartneder flirted with a man for tips while we waited patiently for service. By nine oclock all the semi normal people left. total waste of time and money. And the draft beer tasted like piss. Who needs it.
