Gay leather bar with pool, dancing, karaoke & themed nights
"Atlanta Eagle, otherwise simply known as the Eagle, has historically been a leather bar. And true to form, it’s not unusual to see leather and harness-clad folks sipping on a cocktail here. But even if leather isn’t your thing, there’s a lot to love about this multilevel Midtown spot. There’s a bar in every room, including the dance floor upstairs that’s almost always bumping with club bangers spun by a live DJ. But our favorite thing about the Eagle is the spacious back patio that occasionally houses the sizzling grill of a pop-up restaurant." - juli horsford
"Open since the late ’80s, this leather gay bar has been a longtime institution for the LGBTQ community in Atlanta. Beyond themed clubbing nights, the Atlanta Eagle hosts a slew of events — from drag shows to trivia and karaoke. It also has a dedicated cafe inside that serves Southern classics, like fried green tomato sandwiches, fried pickles, and fried okra. The house tequila here is Astral, meaning your go-to drink is a cut above the usual well options. Or, request your margarita with Astral Tequila, get on the dance floor, and you’ll be set for a guaranteed great time." - Steven Craig Lindsey
"Atlanta Eagle, one of Atlanta’s oldest and most legendary gay and leather bars, is decked out for the holidays, with several themed drag shows and events planned. This is the place to be to be if you’ve made the naughty list on December 11. All are welcome to take pictures with a scantily dressed Santa, with donations benefiting The Trevor Project." - Su-Jit Lin
"After closing for two years due to the pandemic, one of Atlanta’s oldest and most legendary gay and leather bars relocated and reopened in 2022, taking over the Midtown Moon space at Ansley Square shopping center on Piedmont Avenue. Its reopening also ushered in the return of the bar’s popular dance floor, regular drag show performances, and karaoke nights. Atlanta Eagle has been welcoming bears, cubs, and leather enthusiasts for over two decades now, and regulars and fans of the bar are happy to see its legacy continuing at Ansley Square." - Robbie Medwed
