Nice bar very friendly vibe. They had. Pool tables up stairs and makes a good drink. It's located in a nice area.

Great place to play pool with some buddies. Super casual, very friendly, hot bartenders, and great prices. Went in a Wednesday at 1am and it didn't disappoint. What beautiful gay lives we get to live read more

The Seattle Eagle - Two twinks playing pool - Dive Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Drinks are waaaaay overpriced ($16 for a vodka and soda? Really?). Atmosphere is dive bar casual. An okay place to hang out on occasion but nothing special. Upstairs can get friendly.... read more

it's a pretty cute little place. it's mostly geared towards gay men however, which is fine but i'm a lesbian. the people here are pretty friendly and positive and the cocktails aren't insanely priced. the bar inventory is kind of small, though. read more

So what to say about this place. As someone visiting and looking for something familiar of course you would go to the Eagle thinking it had roots to others one had been too. Well not the case. With that being said I was in town for 4 nights and went each night. The space is small and the aesthetic dated. But as a gay man in his late 30's it offers some resemblance to the bars in my youth. The first night I kinda just walked around but didn't take long and quickly asked the bartender where else to go. (Brix) the bartender was Very helpful. He suggested a few others to check out and I did. Yet I found myself returning before last call. The vibe I got from The Eagle is something i feel many of our current gay bars in big city's are losing. That sense of family/unity/community. I am definitely going to be recommending this place to anyone I know that is going to Seattle. It definitely passed the vibe check. read more

I know some reviews left by women say it's not welcoming. It is, if you aren't a woman trying to appropriate space meant for gay men. Super nice bar staff, great guys to meet up with, and lots of fun to be had. Strong drinks, good music and a great masculine vibe. Perfect gay bar. read more

Supper disappointed, lost my bag there with my ID so I got a replacement at the DMV and the guy at the dmv gave me a temporary one and said no place can deny me so I went to get drinks with that and the guy at the counter with a beard started to yell at me and I told him the guy at the dmv told me I can't get denied and he said I would have to have my ID with the paper I had but if I lost it how would I show him that? As I'm walking away he's continuing to yell. Tbh I'll never go back there I lost my bag with 400$ cash there like be serious you see me all the time so the attitude and the aggression in the voice was so uncalled for. Genuinely lost my friends and I service. We go daily after work there so to get treated that way is so unnecessary and uncalled for. He shouldn't be allowed to serve drinks with that tone of voice and demeanor. read more

Friendly bartender told us the history of "Eagle" locations. It has a nice outdoor patio area. Also, the music during the day was nice!

I've been here a few times over the decade, after the pandemic it seems to be about the same! It was very slow on a Friday but nice enough, they old school dive bar/leather bar is a classic that never gets old. Nice walk-over upstairs, the back porch was a little smoky and that doesn't appeal, but bartenders were very nice, laid back and pretty quiet (probably busy Saturday based on other reviews) read more

This place is not like any Eagle you've been anywhere else in the country. We always meet real cool guys here, but a leather bar it ain't. I actually heard Taylor Swift playing there!!! In an Eagle?! You gotta be kidding. But the bartenders are really cool and some awesome dudes hang out here. read more

The "come to daddy" event had a $15 cover and $4 clothes check! The crowd was alright but the drinks were $10 wells served in the tiniest of plastic cups! This bar does have the worst drinks in town! Avoid! read more

Its a GREAT GAY BAR GAY. Bartenders are amazing. they don't serve food. It's definately a bear friendly bar

friendly bar where the bartenders go out of their may to make sure everyone feels welcome. Its a small place you might miss if you're not paying attention but that is part of the charm. read more

Cool divey bar with lots of friendly people... scored a free birthday shot from a handsome bartender and had a good time taking in the scene... kinda small, kinda raunchy, but very inviting. Drinks aren't too strong, but the prices are just right. This place isn't the most obvious from the outside, but worth an experience for sure. read more

It's definitely a place to get a drink, but bonkers to charge 10-15$ cover for a bar lacking in both the atmosphere and energy to warrant it. If you're imagining the Eagle in SF, NYC, Portland or LA you will be sorely disappointed. Staff is super nice, but can't justify the cover for a pedestrian bar experience given the other options in the area read more

I'm only giving this review Five stars because of Keion the bartender but most of the patrons are trash honestly. In my almost 40 years of living I have not gotten into verbal fights with anyone. That changed a few nights ago at the eagle. I will never give a penny to this bar again. read more

Wow. This place needs to be shut down! My husband and I went on a Saturday night after 9pm. Not sure why, but they charged us a $6. Cover! The place was practically empty. The music was blasting (way too loud for the skanky bartender to hear my order. The WAY OVERPRICED, WEAK drinks are the reason that we will NEVER set foot in this place called a bar ever again. We paid $16. For a coconut rum and coke and a plain coke. (Non alcoholic drink) shame in us for paying this much. The rum and coke was a fake! Had he coconut takes but No alcohol. (His bottles must be watered down). PLEASE DON'T waste your time and money at this place. Go someplace cleaner and with better drinks. This a sad little place! Pathetic! read more

I'm tempted to put one star. There's no reason for this place to charge a cover - the door guy likes to change the cover price when he feels like it... very annoying. They pour the WEAKEST drinks in town - $6 for well vodka and not even a full shot. Had an OK time last night - seems like 1 out of 5 times is fun here. read more

Friday night at midnight exactly. Walked into the bar expecting a bit more I guess. But I was cheered on to come in by the 5 patrons in the bar. Sure! $5 dollar cover of regret later I couldn't wait to gulp down my $8 poorly poured drink (jack and coke) so I could get out of here. Maybe it's busier other days? Definitely not on a Friday night so I'm headed out anywhere but here. The establishment is cool though, wish there was the crowed to fill it in. read more

Worst Eagle I've ever been to and I hate The Eagle. Cover charge for a dead ass night. Drinks over priced. Bartenders are rude. Weird gogo dancers creeping up on people. I've been to one where the bartenders rufied me and havnt been back to that one in years. I guess this is the style for The Eagle Brand. Absolutely not my style. Whoever worked the door, however, had the most personality in the entire establishment. Good for him. read more

I mean, while in Seattle... So the Eagle is one of those places that when you are near a new one, you have got to go check it out and that we did. I would say that this was my least favorite one so far and the one here in Providence is pretty bad. I honestly can't remember much about this experience other than that the place is awkward, small, was awkwardly empty when we visited and the dancers were a bit scary. But its the Eagle and no matter what, its always worth a loop around. On to the next! read more

Hello there, This e-mail is to the management or who is may concern if the management is different than the ownership. I came in at 11:55 pm. I waited in line and presented my ID. When I presented my Debit card for payment I was turned away. The person in line behind me informed me there was an on-site at the moment. The gentlemen who carded me ever so politely failed to mention any such service. Instead chose to quickly dismiss the 30 year old customer in front of them. With out a possible solution to my problem. He stated cash was required; to which i promptly replied, why is not there a sign staying this? (As i had waited in a line through the door way onto the curb; in the cold, And followed with, My bank does jot have an ATM anywhere near by(while showing I bank with a credit union; BECU). He chose to state, "Do you need everything explicitly stated in writing? Most bars only accept cash." Which I chose to reply (as someone who is a military brat and lived all over the world) "most bars in Seattle, only accept cash." I feel it was ridiculously unprofessional for him to not tell me the solution was on sight, which led to people in line behind me to should quips of judgement. As a recent transplant, how am I supposed to know about an on-site ATM without mention by the staff? Especially the doorman whom I presented my issue to in hope for a solution? Instead I was belittled, insulted and rudely bullied by an unprofessional staff member! Please be aware of this staff members choice to be unprofessional and insulting to customers who were looking forward to enjoying the establishment. In my marketing studies the average person who has a bad experience shares it with 10 people. This was the worst experience i have ever had at a bar and think it was unjustified! read more

New bar staff on a Friday happy hour???... no knowledge of classic cocktails and gave sass when being given information/feedback....simply explained what the drink was called and ingredients and was met with attitude (I've bartended for 10yrs...I'm not a Karen) Music AWFUL...bounced between showtunes, bad pop music, instrumental....terrible bartenders kept trying to one up each other instead of paying attention to detail, tasks... messy as hell for a Friday with 2 bartenders...yikes read more

PSA: NOT ALL ARE WELCOME HERE. We had the most shockingly rude and uncomfortable experience here last night. My friend brought us here because she has been here before and said this was a really fun gay bar. When my group walked into the bar and walked further in to check out the vibe of the bar in the back, the bartender at the bar in the front angrily shouted at us that we didn't show him our IDs when we first came in. When we said sorry and walked back up to the front bar, the group of guys chilling at the bar with the bartender stared all of us down and started saying things like "you know this is a gay bar right?", "there are other places you could go", "why are you guys here?" all while bartender was angrily repeating that we didn't show him our IDs earlier. We were in shock at how they were treating us and knew that we were clearly not welcome here, so right after showing him our IDs we decided to leave and wished them a good night. I've never been to a bar with such a mean, unwelcoming group of staff and regulars before. This shouldn't matter at all, but some of our group are lgbtq. I guess if you're not a group of gay men, you will be passive aggressively (or aggressively) shooed out. read more

Amazing resident dj's. Super friendly bartenders. It's a pretty chill or pretty fun bar depends what you make it! If you get a chance to check out Dj Dana Dub, make sure you do!!! read more

I realize I'm not exactly the target patron for the Eagle, but I can't help but be annoyed by this place. I came here on a Saturday evening a few weeks ago and was charged $5 cover at the door to listen to some guy's iPod while I drank a $6 Heineken. So there you have it, $11+tip to sit in an empty shithole of a car and drink a bottle of beer. Some of the events here are fun (Bearacuda, Fringe) but coming on a regular night is a downright tragic experience. I heard this place used to be really wild before the Liquor Board cracked down on them for repeated instances of nudity and public sex. It was probably at least somewhat fun back then. read more

This place sure has changed! Now it's over priced shitty drinks and hardly any attendance. The place sure sucks now after they fired half the staff and raised drink prices, it's not the same dirty little fuck pit it used to be. I really wish that the owners would listen to its customers! read more

This is the WORST "gay" bar n Seattle! Me and my husband went there last night to watch a drag show featuring Jinkx Monsoon, It was supposed to start around 9-10,well needless to say 12:15 am rolls around and finally a drag queen comes out on stage does one number then here comes Jinkx Monsoon. she dances to one song and then sings one live song. sad to say we enjoyed Angle better than JInkx , It could have been because the stage was not a stage at all i was a tiny lil cage for Gogo boys to dance in and not enough for a good show. I can say that the drinks were good and the one bartender was nice . I personally think that if the Eagle wants to host drag shows they need to rethink the location of the bar it is to small for the crowds a show brings there is no stage and no room to move around. then the people, It was clear that i was there with my husband we ordered a drink and i headed to the bathroom i left my husband standing outside the restroom and this creepy old man follows us from the bar and then follows me into the restroom pulls out his penis and flashes me. knowing that i am there with someone then the whole night my crotch was grouped by men passing by me in the crowded bar . not a good feeling when you are married! NEEDLESS TO SAY WE WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS TRASH BAR! Unless you wanna get grouped and creeped on i suggest that you keep your distance as well! read more

Funny how every major city has an Eagle, it's the McDonald's of gay leather bars. If you and your friends ever find yourself voluntarily entering this establishment, chances are your reasons were entirely carnal. Lascivious, even. Of all the gay bars in town, this one is known for easy... Well, I highly recommend having a drink or four before you come here. That way, you have an excuse for the next day when your friends recount your escapades from the previous night. read more

I can't believe this bar has only 2 stars! I go here often and always have a good time. I enjoy the NICE bartenders, the CHEAP beer specials and the FREE pool. I talk with the friendly regulars and meet interesting people from all over the world. The bar has gone threw a few changes lately. Some good and some bad but thats the way it is. It is way cleaner than it used to be, in every way, The music is still fantastic.This bar has an awesome location and the view down Pike St. from the upstairs window is one of my favorites in the city. read more

It makes me a little sad to see this place. I've heard how great the Eagle is and especially in places like LA. I went here with a friends and was sadly disappointed. Nothing to do but sit and drink, a few old guys in leather but hardly anything worth messing with. I think I'll keep to the Cuff and Pony like everyone told me I should. Still I'm a little sad. read more

Where are the babes? Not here. And I like the beer in a Mason jar. I just hope they washed the jars. I love that! lol This place is very unpretentious. Dress: optional. But I noticed a lot of gentlemen in leather. I took a friend of mine there from school...it was worth it just to see the expression on his face as we walked around. It's extreme scary! More fun than a fair ride. But, the prices are right. They have a pool table on the upper level. When they have a DJ, it really sets the mood. And they have a full bar! read more

Staff is the best and couldn't ask for a better hang out spot never had an issue here and it's such a great hang out spot and cool events on Friday and saturdays read more

This has to be one the Nastiest Places I've ever been. Where the bar owner Keith allows people to give oral sex and more. I brought friends from out of town and they were completely disgusted. It smelled like an dirty lockeroom as well as we slipped on semen that was on the floor. The regulars there are drunks and harrassed every new person they saw. Definitely wouldn't recommend going here at all. I'd have to say, the only good thing about the place was the bartender Keon. He gave great recommendations on places to go in the City. Other than that I wouldn't go back. read more

I'm a big fan of the Eagle! It's one of my go-to spots in Capitol Hill (I'm here right now actually haha). Yay for late night Yelping!! The drinks are reasonably priced and the atmosphere is great. I like a place where I can where my favorites ripped up jeans or jorts and still feel like I'm dressed appropriately. There's a cover on the weekends usually, which is almost always worth it. So the queer scene in Seattle is interesting; you have to know when to go places. For instance, if you're a mid-twenties, genderqueer, female bodied individual, Shade will probably be right up alley. If you're a gay mid-thirties otter you'll probably feel right at home at 2181. It's all about finding your groove, who you want to be around, and respecting the space of those who are different than yourself. So make sure to check out the Events calendar on their website to see what event is going on that night and what the crowd will be like. Also, they have a freaking SWEET back patio! I'm a sucker for places with some kind of outdoor area where you can catch your breath (or a quick smoke) between dancing your heart out to awesome jams. Let me know if you want a recommendation for what party would be really fun for your first night at the infamous and ethereal Eagle Tavern!! read more
