Eagle Bar

Scott Gabrielle

​A true institution of the NYC leather scene, The Eagle is an iconic bar that has evolved over time to offer something for everyone. While it maintains its classic, dark, and cruisy atmosphere—a nod to its leather bar roots—it’s also a fantastic place to dance, hang out with friends, or simply grab a drink and see what happens. The atmosphere is unpretentious and welcoming, making it a reliable destination whether you’re a regular or a first-timer.

We went on a Sunday. Roof top was fun, had a chat with some guys and got in the mood for later. It became very cruisy at the bar with a nice mix of people. Was pretty full and so much fun. Also the dance floor was nice.

I visited this place three nights in a row, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and each night was an incredible experience. Honestly, some of the negative reviews feel like pure hate, because this is hands down one of the best bars in the world. The bartenders are all amazing, kind, and professional. I deeply appreciate everyone working here for creating such a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere. Thank you for everything you do! 😊

Taking a star away, not because of the staff, but the cut throat, overdramatic Hells Kitchen 20-30yo Queens. Otherwise amazing place to get laid. @BootedPigBro on X and Tele

It's the Eagle. If you're looking it up, you know what it is and it's the best that NYC has for this type of venue. At least one that's open every night.

Got cruised to some dude's hotel room in times square, BF got lightly molested. Fun dark rooms and overall good times beaides that incident.

Im 70 yrs old; door demanded physical ID, though I offered a CDL in Apple Wallet "need to see your birthday..." Really? You think Im underage maybe 🤣? It was like a morgue Mon nite too; not a single sound inside.... wow.

Last Sunday, I paid twenty dollars just to walk into Eagle NYC. The doorman greeted me with unnecessary rudeness, dismissing me simply because I was clueless about the occasion, and looked a little distracted for that night’s theme. The doorman’s bad attitude set the tone before I even made it upstairs. On the second floor, the scene was a raw marketplace of flesh, shirtless men circling restlessly in search of sex. That’s nothing new at that venue, but I wasn't expecting a meat market on a Sunday night. I wanted to enjoy the evening calmly, maybe have a drink, have a conversation, but that wasn’t the rhythm the bar was offering. I could see myself going back for a social leather-themed event only. I have my own gear and I’m familiar with some faces. But beyond that, the dynamic of relentless pursuit isn’t for me. The night before, though, was a different story. My time at Ty’s was extraordinary. The atmosphere was social, the crowd was approachable, and I felt entirely at ease. Ty’s reminded me that a bar can still be about connection beyond sex. Given the rapid speed of gentrification in Chelsea, I give NYC Eagle five more years before it ceases operations. That’s why they are milking the cow as much as they can with the high charges.

Had given my shirt at coat check, came back later on at night to find the staff had lost it. Had to leave on a cold night with no shirt and no compensation, pretty much was given the oh well treatment, would not recommend doing coat check there.

worst gay bar i’ve been to in my life. $25 to enter and that doesn’t even get you a coat check. $4 to put your coat away all for a rude security guard to shine his torch in your face and tell you you’re not allowed to suck someone off. in a sex club! i then tried to leave and was told there isn’t a separate collection queue for the coat check, so had to wait 15 minutes before i could get out. that’s what $29 gets you!

Boooooo the bartender on the third floor sucked, he refused to serve us tap water after we bought 5 total drinks and tipped him at least 12 dollars. He called us names and was generally aggresive in a way that makes me never want to come back here. Bad job hiring him. You all suck for making that decision. He was shirtless and gross

This is an unsafe venue. A patron randomly approached me on Saturday November 15, 2025, and wrenched the back of my neck. I shook him off and elbowed his breast plate. I looked around and there were no security staff anywhere. It will be a long time before I feel safe going to the Eagle NYC again. Keep your wits about you, New York. Evil stalks these streets. Update 11/18/25: A report has now been filed with the NYPD.

Free before 9pm, but they will suddenly take their damn time to ID people when it's almost 9pm, so if you're here by 8:50pm the line will SuDdEnLy take extra long to have their ID checked, and they will charge you cover, even on an empty night. Total BS. Very rude staff, elongates the wait time just to charge patrons 😮‍💨😤😡😞 I'm not paying a cover at 9pm on the dot because you can't scan IDs or manage the queue properly. Bartenders will not give you free water even if you have ordered several drinks from the same bartender (and tipped generously) 😢 Cash only bar and cover. Additional coat check charge.
