awful

My bf and I went to this bar today even though a few locals from DC had discouraged us. On turning up, we showed our government issued IDs and were turned away. The doorman insisted on federal or state IDs and insisted on passports for foreigners. Who carries passports to a dive like this? Anyway, the place had 10 people at most on a Friday night. Disappointing place! I'd give it a miss if you're from overseas. None of the other clubs and bars we visited were this unreasonable.

Lonely eagle

EN: I was there a friday night but there were a few people. Good music and average prices, but nothing lf action. PT/GZ: Estive la uma 6a a noite embora o local estava cuase vacio. Boa musica e precos racoaveis, embora nada de acao.

Fun, friendly bar

Went on a Sunday night. Everyone was friendly, and the drinks were cheap. My only complaint is Alex! The new bartender who works downstairs. Nice guy, but he is embarrassed to work there and wants to keep it a secret. I want my bartenders to be proud of there jobs.. He needs to work somewhere else.

Should be a coffee shop........

I was at this pit recently, it looked like an old folks home, the flourescent lighting did nothing for them and the staff has the worse attitudes......the biggest bunch of Mary's I have ever seen. They were only missing their knitting that night. There has to be better places than this in DC?? Dont waste your money here unless you want queeny attitude, nothing leather about the place it could'nt hold a candle to the one in NYC now that a REAL man's bar.

First time

This was my first time at the D.C. Eagle. The only negative I found was the parking. Best to take the metro there. I went in about 8 p.m. and it was real slow. Things started to pick up around 8:30 and they opened the upstairs bar. I went up and met some nice guys. ended up sucking two guys at once, and enjoyed the whole experience. I plan to go back when I find some free time.
