Hank's Bar

(220 Ratings)
Local favorite standard bar

Friendly, no-frills cruising bar. Hank's is a relaxed place to enjoy a drink and catch up with friends without loud distractions. Play a game of pool or head to the landscaped patio for a bit of adult fun. The bar is cash only, but there is an ATM inside.

This is the place to go for sex!(and cheap beer)

I am only 29yo and travel for work all across the country, every older bar I go to people always tell me :you should have been here in the 70's and 80's anything went" well nothing has changed at Hanks! (including the decor) This is the hands down funnest bar I have ever been to! Outside is a sign that reads "this is a gay bar, if homosexuality offends you then you should drink elsewhere) They only serve beer (and wine I think) but everyone is friendly, overly friendly. There are two bathrooms, one for massive orgy sex and a private one for actually using the bathroom. Awesome patio that is large with a lot of hidden places to... have fun. I never left unhappy! I was nervous cause some of the reviews said it was all old guys, and 98% is, but each time I went there were at least 10 guys 20 to 30 including myself, and there was always that occasional really hot. Great anything goes bar! Loved it!

It is what it is

Hank's has no pretense. They sell you a beer and you must buy at least one, and then unless you are a regular who sits around the bar conversing with the bartender and other regulars, you head to the outdoors patio to either watch the action or to join in if you are horny enough or had several beers. The usual suspects are usually there along with tourists or other non-locals. When I am feeling picky or a little shy, I just drink a beer and leave. It is all public and that usually is fine with me. The more you drink the more fun you will have, but the cops, who never enter Hank's, are waiting for you to drink and drive so be careful.
