Most Reminiscent Gay Bar

I entered the DC Eagle my very first time on December 28th 2000. The manager Angus and his ex-b/f Tim made me feel very comfy. I was not treated like an alien as I had just gotten off a flight from Canada to visit with a friend. Angus impressed me with his desire to check out my stuff in the w/r-I responded,,how 'bout next time I take a leak! Had I known that Angus could break the head post off a 4 poster bed,,,I'd have certainly given him a view immediately! I visited the DC Eagle many times on several trips to DC from that time till the Sept after the Pentagon was crashed into by a hostile attack! I can't wait to come see DC again, and order a beer from Angus' hired help, and check out the Harley hanging down from the second floor ceiling. Bravo to the most impressive American gay bar I've visited.

Classic Eagle

I visited the DC Eagle while on business during the week -- always a precarious situation -- will the bar be busy during the week or not? The DC Eagle didn't let me down! They have numerous levels and a frisky patio! Thank you. Excellent Eagle in the typical Eagle tradition -- minus the dress code -- there are tourists here after all. Not in the gayhood -- but close to the Convention Center -- then again no Eagles I've been to are in the heart of the gay district. Had a great time!

A Perennial Favorite

The Eagle was my home bar when I lived in DC and , on a recent visit, was very pleased that all the things that made it my favorite then were still very much in evidence. Friendly crowd, great staff, and a panoply of hot Leathermen - and, in good weather a very frisky patio. Long may it reign!

People here were unfriendly

I went on a recent Sunday afternoon and I suppose that if U r not wearing leather U r viewed as some alien some outer space. Incidentally because Im Latin a lot of the patrons looked at me odd. Then somebody call me on my cell. I didnt know there was a rule against cellphones at the bar and the bartender looked at me like I threw the atom bomb on Hiroshima. Felt most unwelcome in this place. sorry, aint going back

Totally fun!

I walked there from my hotel in Logan Circle, kinda far to walk it, and not in the best area of town - but, super friendly bartenders. One of the largest Eagles I have been in, porn on a large screen, pool tables, and a large center placed bar upstairs with stools encircling so its great for people watching. If you are visiting Washington - put this on your list.
