Technically a bar, but...
This technically is a bar, with drinks, bartender, and pool. But everyone knows why you go to Hanks: Sex in the bathroom or back porch. Seriously, just know what you're gettimg into. The crowd is friendly, bar staff super friendly, but please: its a cruise joint for the 35 crowd. And it aint the pretty crowd.
fun place
What can I say about this place? It was lots of fun. The people are very friendly there. The guys are usually over 40, but you can meet some youger boys there too. The place is really run down and not very well kept but don't let that keep you from going there at least once. Unfortunatelly, they only serve beer and wine no hard stuff. I will defenitively go there again if I'm back in Orlando. I had an awesome time, even got a jack-off show from some guys over fifty, it was unreal. The place is a cool establishement and full of surprises.

Kind people. The bar is not nice but if you only want to have fun with different guys, it's a good place to go. Around 35-55 years.
looking forward to my visit

Not pretentious
Hanks is a dump. But the kind of dump that knows it's a dump and doesn't seem to mind. The clientele is not Harvard educated and you won't find any tweed jackets. It's a shack that serves beer and wine. The patio (really where is the concrete or pavers?) is really just a large outdoors. There is no landscape, save one small palmetto bush that serves as a cover for what has made the bar infamous. This bar should be on every gay bar trash tour. It has been on our trash tour for years. A Trash Tour, is when you get your buds together to go to every gay beer and wine only place in town. Hanks is rarely crowded. Two pool tables and the juke box has a little bit of everything. I have never experienced the problems or pleasure they speak of in the bathrooms there, but the patio may have that to offer if there are enough people there who are interested. I would call it a Levi bar more than a leather bar, but you could wear either and fit in. It's a cruise bar for sure. One of only a few in Orlando.
