The Eagle

Iconic gay leather bar that was rebranded many years ago to be part of the Eagle franchise. It's the same as it's sister bars in SF and NYC. Caters to leather crowd but obviously open to all. The owner is approachable and nice.

I mean it’s the Eagle LA. What more needs to be said about this lowkey raunchy glorious bosom of rock n roll, billiards, and enough more bears than the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. I love this place. Cash only btw but the atm is ever flowing there ❤️❤️❤️

The best service of any eagle i have attended. The staff and owner are awesome people and easy on the eyes. Highly recommend for anyone. The music is great and bands (The COCKS) are awesome.

So fun and friendly environment. I was travelling solo and had a great time meeting people here. drinks were strong — the bar is cash only but there are ATMs inside to withdraw (for a small fee)

The club owner is a down to earth, all around great guy. The atmosphere is clean, the staff is awesome and friendly and the loca patrons know how to have a ball! I love this club. The food is delicious and provided by PHILLYJAWNZ. If you’re looking for a fun safe place to party EAGLE_LA is the place to be!

The Eagle in L.A. is a long-standing gay hot spot that caters to a vibrant leather-wearing crowd. With its cheap beer nights and talented DJs, it creates an energetic and lively atmosphere. The bar's commitment to inclusivity and celebration of the LGBTQ+ community is evident in the welcoming and friendly vibe. If you're looking for a memorable night out filled with great music, unique fashion, and a sense of belonging, the Eagle is definitely worth a visit.

Great daddy and bear bar with strong drinks. Not as crazy as SF but still a good place to visit

Welcoming environment for any LGBT+ and fun music. Decently priced drinks (though, cash only!)

TWO pool tables!!! And very friendly vibe, at least on Sunday afternoons. Having spent time at the Eagle in SF and NYC as well, I can easily say that the Eagle in LA is my favorite of them all. I try to visit every time I’m in LA. It’s exactly how a leather bar should be IMO. Great smoking courtyard that spills into the three-walled room where one of the pool tables is. The other table is inside by the bar. They also usually let me store my bag inside somewhere so it’s very convenient to visit immediately after landing from a flight into LA or right before flying out. (But keep in mind that I’m visiting on a Sunday afternoon when things are relatively chill, so idk if this would be an option on a busy night.) Only thing to keep in mind is that they are cash only.

Great place to go where the guys are not pretentious , just a chill, fun vibe.

So you need cash. It’s a cash only place!!! Other than that. It’s wonderful. A small cover charge. The bartenders are nice and the drinks are good. Parking was a lil challenge.

Eagle LA is one of the best leather bars LA has to offer. The staff is super friendly and very professional. The drinks are reasonably priced and balanced. The patrons are approachable, fun and playful. The atmosphere has the right elements for a great experience. Try it! I'm sure you'll agree.

Tried-and-true, been my hangout for years. The place I'll always come back too. Great staff (best bartenders in town) and management, usually a fun and/or amusing crowd, good music, good mix of special events, and the always distinct possibility of something truly strange and funny happening, because it usually does. Kind of miss the old name because it was rad (The Gauntlet), but couldn't ask for a better home base.

I like how open this place is. It has a very laid back feel without anyone trying to be ridiculous. One of my go-to places for a drink.

Shout out to CORY!!! The bartenders here are really great. One of the last places in L.A. where you go to meet men and actually meet MEN!

Good atmosphere but I have seen this place with a much larger and amazing crowd. Although, it was a cold night though.

The Eagle is a classic gay bar. It's a bit divey, but a lot of fun. There is always a cover on weekend nights ($10), and the establishment is strictly CASH ONLY. Get enough cash before you come, or pay for the expensive ATM inside.

Raunchy but good drinks and a patio area for those of us not interested in extracurricular activities can hangout by the pool table! Still it deserves four.

Fun leather bar...If you're into it.

Much different experience that what I was expecting. I honestly had a fun time. The crowd was very diverse and my friends and I (who are from out of town) were welcomed by everyone. Drinks are greatly proportioned; however, the bartenders should really consider when to cut-off their regulars.

I was out with a friend visiting the Eagle Bar for their Rocky Leather Horror Show.. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were there collecting donations to fund "A Grant to "Help fund the fight against the CURRENT REGIME."" Not only is this offensive as a voter (it assumes we all think alike), it offends me as a patron. IS THERE NO PLACE ONE CAN GO TO HAVE A DRINK AND FORGET ABOUT REALITY WITHOUT POLITICS INTERFERING IN IT? Not just politics, but a bunch of unsubstantiated nonsense made up by the Progressive left. SHOW ME WHERE "THE CURRENT REGIME" has tried to hurt LGBT. I dare you! By the way, in America, we don't call a presidential administration a "Regime" . Meanwhile, the show SUCKED and so did the night. the best thing about the Eagle are the bartenders which are professional and friendly.

The is nice and low-key place. Refreshing to still have a "man's bar" in this day an age. Outside unless you want to pay $5.20 for taquitos or $47 for three plates of three, I would keep going.

Racism is racism, and hosting parties that are race-specific is racism, also. A second star, as there are fewer women who stink up the place compared to most other bars, but that's it.

Not a very attractive crowd of guys. Unless you like 'em with meat on their bones! And, I mean, lots of it. Too many women, also. The real ones and the "newer ones." Was a good place in years past but no more.

Clientele are friendly, beers are good. BUT, watch the dodgy bartender, tried to rip me off $80 when he “forgot” to put the twenties in my change. Seriously, who’s not going to notice $7 in change from a hundred for two beers?

The staff is always pleasant, but the crowd that goes to this bar is unfriendly. Avoid if you are interested in meeting people or connecting with new friends/lovers.

Lived in la for years! Bad music so bad my friends and I would leave. Requested music and was denied. Snotty bartenders hope they have changed. Bad neighborhood always big problems with crime while parked.

They have a charity box at the entrance and always make it sound like it’s a cover to enter! They should warn visitors it’s not mandatory to pay…Also they only take cash! I wonder why 👀

Super rude place- I clearly wasn't welcome because I am not a masculine guy. Dirty looks from both staff and patrons. I felt like I went to a bar full of homophobic guys on the verge of coming out.

It had a very nice and friendly bartender. The crowd, though it was not busy were open and friendly.

Today is the second time at this place. The first time was brilliant and that's why I came back. The place is nice and chilled, the first time the server was very nice and helpful. Today I am very dissatisfied with the service we received by the bar server. He was very rude and unpleasant. My friend asked for more orange wages and he literally rolled his eyes to him and gave us such as nasty attitude. Probably today will be my last visit. Or perhaps give it another chance meanwhile I'll visit some other local bars.

my draft was half as much as another's pitcher, i think they charge different people different prices after saying happy hour prices all day. i dont think you need this energy.

Don't go to this place on Tuesdays and less you want your DJ request turned against you and played after they kicked you out for their own self endowment I requested the music after paying the DJ a tip and he came to the bar claiming I was harassing him. The bartender gladly refunded my money for my beers but the DJs here over the past 10 decades I've always been and we'll be taking your music that you request and kicking you out then playing the music you requested as their own like it's there playlist for their own advancement here tonight I experienced such things from the DJs I hold sister candy side responsible for these actions this is my review over the past two decades do not expect any changes as you will find the same type of treatment from these people continually I hope Charlie and Hunter responsible for their actions

(Non dj) MATT EFFECT (? - what kind of name is that?) was TERRIBLE on Friday 01/082021. We wanted to dance so bad and trust me, we tried… Well, let’s say he wasn’t hired for his music because it SUCKED, much less for his “ability” because this non dj person could not mix two songs even if his LIFE depended on it. Think a brick rolling down a stairway and that’s just as smooth. Plus he looks weird, so Eagle La continues hot but music wise it is anything but.

Poor service from bartender ROBERT … he needs to be retrained at his big age to learn how to deal with customers and actually do his job properly. I guess his hearing aide was not working cuz he got an attitude and confusing redbull for monster like what ?! If you’re not in a good mood DONT show up to work to take it out on patrons that wanna have a fun day to decompress from the week. SMH 🤦‍♂️

They accept Apple Pay for the entrance but they don’t for the bar. So we didn’t bring our cards and got in, but couldn’t pay for anything inside and had to leave. And they don’t inform about that in the front.

That was a sad experience. This was my first time at the Eagle Bar in Los Angeles. The gentleman at the front at the front checking ID’s was very kind. And the bartender that had the kilt was kind as well. But every other bartender watch me stand in front of them for quite some time to get a drink., they looked at me and ignored me. But they cater to all the Caucasian men that were coming in after me to get drinks. You figure it out! I am originally from New York, and I know the eagle in New York very well. They would have never did this to anyone. No matter who you are.
