Seattle Eagle

Witnessed unprovoked, violent, unsafe and absolutely abhorrent behavior by staff last weekend as everyone was leaving. Never coming back. Will be letting friends know that this is NOT a safe space. I should have read the other reviews about this place, but I wanted to trust in a long time gay bar that I had been to many times in the past. You can't treat people like that!! I was just a witness and don't know who your staff member was bullying, hurting, and filming ILLEGALLY, but if that person reaches out to me, I'm happy to be a legal witness in court. WILD.

$9 is what this bad review cost. Crazy enough that was the cost of a small plastic cup of beer supposedly in line with Seattle prices. I was enjoying myself until the new bar tender took over, raise the price of the beers and while I get they probably deal with a lot of stuff, his attitude changed the entire night and my perspective of this bar. Go for the bears, not the beer.

The Seattle Eagle is the black sheep of Seattle’s LGBT nightlife, offering a space that’s unapologetically raw, real, and welcoming to those who embrace their unconventional and freaky side. This place has a gritty, no-frills vibe that feels authentic, like stepping into a world where you can shed the day-to-day and just be unapologetically yourself. The music at The Eagle is pretty diverse depending on who is DJing (or bartending) can be hit or miss. The drinks are strong, the bartenders are cool, and the energy is fun, especially when the place starts to fill up. What really sets the Seattle Eagle apart is the sense of community. It’s a place where everyone is welcome, whether you’re a regular or just curious, and the crowd is always down for a good time. There’s a sense of freedom here, a feeling that you can let your guard down and explore whatever side of yourself you want to, without judgment. If you’re looking for a place that’s a little rough around the edges, full of character, and a uninhibited fun, the Seattle Eagle is for you.

Wonderful people visit the Eagle. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere with approachable patrons. Very FUN

Thank you to everyone from staff to guests who shared their love and space with us tonight as we celebrated our wedding! Everyone was welcoming and kind. It was 4 of us after our wedding (me, my new husband, maid of honor and best man). As a queer black woman in a straight presenting relationship, I appreciate any time I get to spend in queer and gay spaces. From the moment we walked in it was all smiles and such outgoing kindness. Thank you all for making our night so memorable.

I hate leaving bad reviews but this place is awful. The first thing that hits you as you walk in is the smell!! It was a fetid, noxious mix of stale cigarette smoke, fresh cigarette smoke and weed. It looks like it hasn't been cleaned in months and the general vibe is "dodgy". Avoid it.

Painful to write anything but positive things about a gay establishment. But seriously The Eagle Seattle is 1) absolutely the worst Eagle I’m aware of and one of the worst gay bars out there 2) drinks are ridiculously overpriced in an already inflated economy (recommended to the owners - focus on selling more by having more patrons instead of ripping people off) 3) I’ve prob been 10 times, had fun ONCE during a party in like 2018. The problem is that nobody comes here, but I can kind of understand why.. went to furball in 2023 and I think it was maybe a couple dozen people that also came - that’s a really poor turnout for a Saturday party. Truly could be an awesome bar. Whoever is managing it must be stuck in their ways and refusing feedback that is all over these google reviews. Get with the times!

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.
