Eagle LA

This is one of the best spots in town for kink-affirming folk or anyone looking to just have a chill night with good company

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

The best bar for gay men in Silverlake and the best bar for leather and kinky folk in town. Check out their website for daily themes and activities. There is always something interesting going on.

Everyone who works there is amazing and always happy to help you out and figure out the perfect drink for you

The past few weeks... the Eagle - LA has been like another other home. I recently competed for the Mr. Bear LA 2024 title here (let's just say I'm the unofficial Mr. Bear Congeniality for 2024 lol)... I didn't take home the title, but I still feel like a winner and had the best time. The competition like many title based ones in the community is sponsored and held at this one of kind gay owned & operated establishment celebrating many layers as well as sub layers of the LGBTQIA+ that I'm beyond proud to be apart of. Eagle - LA/Los Angeles has gone by many names is decades past, including the Shed, Outcast, Gauntlet II (not to be confused with the MTV series) and reborn once again and going strong for the last nearly 18 years (2006). I've seen this place become even more inclusive than previous years, not just celebrating the massive leather community but the bear, pup, uniform, and kink communities as well. They've held some incredible fundraising for organizations and charities. Celebrate their staff as well as others. All are very much welcomed regardless of gender, gender identity, sexuality or even drink preferences lol... The bar itself has a large patio + multiple rooms, including two billiard tables, multiple flat screens, main stage, three bars, a private restroom, and a larger restroom. Typically, prices vary due to them having happy hour pricing during the daytime, including their Sunday (Funday) Beer Bust at 2PM until 8/ 9 pm every week. Incredible DJs, sound system, acoustics, and performances throughout the week... Meat Rack on every other Saturday being one of the largest. No cover before certain times and definitely zero if a none event night. You can catch some movies in the BG, drag race on Fridays before 9 pm during each season, and some not for the faint of heart content as well... 21 & older only! Parking is one of the only difficult things you may encounter as this area is a mix of residential and other small businesses as well as large ones like Erewhon. Blocked on Instagram a few months ago from tagging them in stories and personal post promoting the bar aside o.O hahaha... This bar has grown on me more. Great people, great bartenders/staff, memories, stories, and fun! The owner, Charlie, is one heck of a guy. Rest & Rock in Power Clint

Was here roughly a year ago. Awful personal experience. I wrote a Yelp review but Eagle found a way to have deep opinions removed and seem to only permit surface opinions. That said, I'm siting my disapproval with this location yet again. In my opinion, this location is not a true representation of the Eagle brand, and moreso, the parking and interior vibe is atrocious. Try another Eagle location but not LA.

What a trip! Gay bar, yes queen, leather bar, yes queen. Cheap drinks?! HELL YES QUEEN!!! the staff is absolutely delightful and so accommodating. What a treat.

I don't find myself coming to the Eagle as much as I would like to. There are several factors to why I don't really come this way. In comparison to some of the other gay bars in Los Angeles, I find that it's harder to find parking here. On one side of the neighborhood, it's permit parking only. The other side is just overly congested and there's been a few times that I've spend up to 30 minutes looking for a spot. For event's like Off Sunset, you will not find me driving to this area. Eagle is also cash only. Their archaic systems is inconsistent. The last time I was at Eagle was for the Release magazine party, and I went to the bar 3 times, and bought the same drinks, but was charged different amounts all three times. Why?? I feel that you get more bang for your buck at other bars. Drinks seem to have a light pour here. Lastly, I've come here on random nights, possibly looking to talk to someone new, but I don't really get a lot of receptive responses. I get a more welcoming vibe at other bars.

I love the bar customer service here, vibe and drinks is an absolute vibe djs are amazing.. I won't discredit this business only show you the aggressive cocky dj with no hits

All things good in this circus of the dark in the dark. All things possible. Gets better the later it is.

Outstanding watering hole for those who it is meant for. This bar is not for everyone but fortunately it's perfect for me and my friends. Super friendly and cute bartender and a good selection of beers. XXX gay porn on the TVs (I told you it's not for everyone) and a real nice patio. Not very crowded on a humid summer Saturday afternoon but we enjoyed it Definitely recommended and I would go back

i hate writing this because i've been coming here since the 2010s so i love it here, but that Monday night bartender Scott really sucks. good luck getting a drink if you're not white, thin or a friend of his. every time we went to get a drink last night he left us waiting either before taking our order or got distracted in the middle of it so he could flirt, chit chat, or one time je legitimately just stood there texting for several minutes ignoring us. scott you need to tend bar better

Avoid the two half naked bartenders in the center large main bar by the DJ booth. My friends and I were literally standing in front of them for about 20 min. Zero eye contact. Zero service. Bad energy from both of them and it wasn't even busy. We got so annoyed by the lack of service we just left and ended up at Akbar. I thought this was a happy gay friendly environment.

I haven't been to the Eagle in almost two years, so I decided to come back and try it out on a Wednesday night. It was $11 pitcher night. I got one pitcher and chilled in the patio with my friend. We enjoyed the beer. It was a quiet night. There was about 20 people at the bar. It was a nice place to chill, unwind, and have a beer. This bar is cash only. My vaccine card and ID were checked by the bartender when I ordered my beer.

I really enjoyed going to this club/bar. It was my first time going with a friend i had just met. The music is good and I like how they mix it up. The bartenders know how to make the drinks! At least the ones that helped me! Myn was strong but really good. I would definitely come back here again. The only thing is that parking can be a bit difficult to find. But it's so worth it. Took us like 10 mins to find a spot.

Look this place isn't awful. I just have had some more then pretty unfortunate experiences personally.

This place is CRAP. The bartender from the main bar stand, gave us the worst attitude as our welcome (we were just asking for a drink, there was no need for this attitude). I will never go to this place again.

Pros: Pool table, divey atmosphere, themed events, friendly patrons. Cons: snobby bartenders. Expect micro-aggressions. (Especially women and people of color.) I'd bring it to the attention of management, but I don't think they care, to be honest. I'd go to the bullet in Noho for a safer and more respectable experience. I hate being on edge when I'm trying to take the edge off. Ha

Came here during pride after some guy friends asked me to meet them there. Had no idea what it was or that it would be a fully leathered out boys club. I'm a tallish, femme WIOC and it was a curious sensation to be the only woman in the room with hundreds of men and yet feel so welcomed and safe. Having said that, I didn't stick around too long. I had a drink, a laugh with friends and security helped me out through the crowd. Part of being an ally and open-minded is letting communities have their own spaces. Why does every single place have to cater to every single person? Gay men deserve to have a place to themselves and not feel self-conscious about their kink. You have the whole of weho full of queer bars, all as fun with good music. Go there instead. I felt safe, lots of the guys were friendly, but also that it's not my space. And that's OK!

Great gay bar for the East Hollywood Gay Scene. Leather bar is the theme but a wide variety of types of guys go here. This bar is about being confident with how and who you are because there some guy out there that is ready to fetishize everything you have to offer. Eagle LA is about leaving attitudes, constructs of beauty, and sexual/racial/fat/age phobias at home. All are welcome with the exception of bachelorette parties who think going to a gay bar is a bucket list item.

As a regular, who lives down the street. My ID was expired for a week and the door boy Domingo takes his job way to seriously. My wallet was stolen in WeHo and my California ID was all that I had available. Sucks to make minimum I guess. But letting not letting in a 36 year old because you think it's that would be the biggest illegal thing that's happened at this establishment is trash.

It's 2022. Why are you still not accepting credit card payments? All bars and restaurants should by now. I had to use the cash i had on me since they're so far behind the times. I didn't give a tip because my friend didn't have cash and i wanted to have enough for another round, then the bartender spent the rest of the night giving my friend and me angry looks, as if he deserved a tip. I would be giving a tip if I could put everything on my card, not that the bartender deserved it with his bad attitude and angry looks

Omg! What a fun gay bar! My friend and I were having dinner across the street at the Bowery Bungalow (see review) and fell in love with the table next to us! When they were done, they invited us to join them at The Eagle for drinks. What a fun time! They were playing Ru Paul's Drag Race on these big jumbo screens they have! I seriously got my ENTIRE life. I love a gay bar sooo much better than a straight bar. You can have fun, get your drink on, and not worry about being hit on for your number, or worry about guys being gross. Its just a great time with no hangups. I love my gays and I love my drinks! So fun.... be aware that the bar only takes cash, but there is an ATM handy, so you will be fine even if you don't have the green on you initially. Great bar!

An absolute must for night life in LA. It's a great bar to relax on a Sunday afternoon or party on Saturday night. The bartenders are quick and attentive and make excellent drinks, reasonably priced and it's always a great crowd. Whether your visiting or a local its definite go-to If you enjoy a dive bar with some character. 5/5 stars.

Warning: To those Gays who are prissy, up-tight, holier-than-thou, or are obsessive-compulsive clean queens, don't come to the Eagle Bar, and then bad mouth it like a bitchy, narcissistic, woosie baaatch. You know that the Eagle Bar is an old-time,divey "leather bar" that dates back to the old days when it was called the Gauntlet II, and it still smells like stale beer & cigars with the patina of Rough & Ready MEN who have laid claim to these hallowed walls for decades. Why come to the Eagle and torture yourselves? What a stupid ass thing to do. Be with the other sanctimonious & self righteous who are more your kind. No one ever forced you to come here. The B&B Corps hosted the "Hot Boots" contest to a great crowd of hot men in leather, uniforms, rubber, and our brethren bears & cubs. Others were in flannel, levis, muscle-T's with facial hair like beards, moustaches, goatees, all hallmarks of masculinity that seem to reflect the Leather ethos. It was a benefit event for the Tom of Finland Foundation which promotes mostly Homo-erotic art throughout the world by sponsoring deserving artists, actualizing various art showings & related events, as well as serving occasionally to be a location for various leather & motorcycle clubs. The Eagle bar has various spaces to accommodate different moods. There is the main bar with a huge square bar with stools lining the edges; a smaller adjacent more intimate manned bar space with Bootblack Bob on Saturdays for those who need to have their Dehners, Westco's, Chippewa's etc. given a high sheen; lower deck where there is a pool table for those so inclined. There is a patio where men can whoop out their custom cigars & pipes and have a leisurely, satisfying smoke with other burly men, bears, cubs, otters, even a twink or two. Eagle has a full bar, but there are non-alcoholic drinks such as water, sparkling mineral water, juices, coffee so those who want to abstain can still patronize this fine establishment of & for men. Sundays are the laidback days when short pants, "wife beaters", T's are the uniform of the day. If you want a more "formal" setting of leather, uniform, boots, rubber, etc., come on Fridays or Saturdays when leather themed attire is encouraged. Look them up in the Eagle website. There is fun & hilarity, too, like when the gender bending, transvestite Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence come to call. The Eagle should be on the list for historically important cultural sites in Los Angeles. The Eagle, Bullet, & the Faultline are the last of the down & dirty, basic, old line Leather bars which had their cultural origins in the 1950's when the old guard leathermen & motorcyclemen fresh out of World War II & Korean wars wanted to find butch male camaraderie in a space among themselves and away from the prissy, uptight, & sanctimonious. Long Live the Eagle and its band of men. 4+ Yelp stars, but definitely not for the fussy, easy-to-offend types.

First time visiting the Eagle recently on a whim, and enjoyed myself overall. The bartenders are heavy pourers and don't keep you waiting. Having been to an Eagle in DC before, it was very similar in atmosphere and vibe but a lot smaller and a little more intimate. Will be back in the future.

Great, classic gay men's leather bar.

This is an unapologetically seedy leather bar. When you walk in, expect a Black interior, bearded men, hard rock music, and raunchy gay porn on the TV screens. It might not be other guys' cup of tea, but it's just my kind of gay bar. The Eagle is the antithesis of West Hollywood. It's here where you're more likely to be ignored for being young, hairless, and twinky. The trough urinal in the bathroom can get cruisy sometimes. It's awkward at first, but make trips to the bathroom more interesting. Regulars here are older bears, they generally stay to themselves. Drinks are reasonably priced and cheap during happy hour. Being closer to midcity, I notice the patrons here tend to be more openminded and liberal than some of the barflies at The Bullet.

Drinks are always spot on. And the patio is delightful. Can't really say I enjoy the macho attitude of the patrons though. Doesn't seem all that inclusive for the OTHER. Otherwise, it's a great place to start out and maybe even a better place to stumble upon on yer way home

My second favorite denim and leather bar in all of Los Angeles. Patio for smoking two to three bars wonderfully dingy atmosphere wonderful dingy people wonderful porn showing on the multiple screens, my kind of place to get down and get grody.

OMG!!!! A fabulous time was had by all. And by all, I mean me... Oh yeah and everyone else I was with. So, if you read my review of Bowery Bungalow you'll know Jen S. and I were invited here by a group of guys (who are now our friends). So, they left before we did. And we casually jay-waked on over. They didnt think we were going to come. Ha! we never turn down a good time. Entrance is in the back. Sidenote, why arent there as many good looking buff guys at Straight bars? So, Eagle LA is a dive bar. I think. There is an outdoor patio area and half in/out area and the enclosed bar area. They were playing RuPauls Drag Race that night. Yes! I made it to a bar viewing this season. The drinks were great, but they only take cash. One flaw....I had the girls OUT. OUT I tell you. I was rocking instagram cleavage. And no one cared. Damnit lol. This is my new spot to come for an ensured good time.

The drink prices are fine. Sometimes the music is very good. The crowd, usually, is pretty cool. The problem here? The bartenders at t the front bar. There is an elderly queen wearing fake Buddy Holly glasses and insane ass implants. He wears his pants half way down his ass, as a result. Implants or no implants he is totally hateful. If he feels you are not the type he wishes to be there, or if you're younger than him (and most people are...) he simply WILL NOT SERVE YOU. Period. He will pretend to be extremely busy with anyone but you. Even pretends to be doing mundane tasks, that aren't even necessary in an attempt to ignore you. There is a husky white guy who works with him and he isn't much better. There was a tip mix-up once that ended up not in his favor and he simply refused to come back. He ignored my friend and I in a very obvious way. It was only LATER we figured out we each thought the other left a tip. As a result, neither one of us did, but we didn't realize that. Angry by the extreme unprofessionalism, we went to the back bar to a bartender named Mike. Great attitude and served EVERYONE, not just those he selected. We drank all night and had fun. Was this the first time for that at The Eagle? Not at all. Those two bartenders do that often. The place is not fun enough for that...

I would make this place a Monday - Sunday. Event if I could. I first love all the men here , they are all very attractive and they provide great eye candy. The bar tender s are amazing and make sure to tip them well, they are very fast, super inviting and they deserve. It. I love the whole experience , from the drink specials to the. Eventful nights they have . Thursday are the best nights, make sure to take your friend who love. Good looking men, good drinks, and pool.

Usually enjoy this place but the mustachioed bouncer kicked me twice in the foot because I was finishing my drink. He'd barely said get out we're closed and I was obviously fixing to leave and he starts kicking me. Just me. When I confronted him n he said, "I didn't kick you." I am for sure filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau or whichever avenue I need to take. This is ridiculous. 2/13/2020

We have always had a good time at Eagle LA. The drinks are cheap during happy hour and reasonable other times. There are complaints on here about watered down drinks and unfriendly bartenders. We haven't experienced either, in fact we find the bartenders all friendly, if they aren't busy they are happy to stop and chat a little. If they are busy, they are fast and professional. So, we find it a friendly gay bar, that caters to the leather/bear crowd but one where everyone feels welcome.

This bar is convenient and about 2 miles from my place in Hollywood. The crowd here is nothing like in WeHo. If you're into Leather & Hairy/Beefy men then you need to check this place out. I liked that there was plenty of space for moving around unlike some of the WeHo bars where you're all sandwiched and rubbing against each other...like vertical dry humping while making your way trough the crowd. It was an experience, even though a short lived one for us. We didn't stay long enough to find out what they were raffling off, but I remember them handing us a coupon/ticket for a raffle that night. It wasn't my kind of bar but I was curious to check it out for the first time. Drink prices are comparable to other bars in the area. I'm not sure about the parking situation, but I wouldn't recommend driving to a bar anyway. Take a cab, sidecar, lyft or uber. It's not worth a DUI. We all know DUIs are like parking tickets, errbody gots them (lots of people have them). Have fun!

In terms of the layout and entertainment value of the space, this place is great. However, it is inundated with white male imagery on the walls, the video they play, the workers, the dancers. The vibe here is not friendly at all to POC, and you feel it from the patrons to the staff. Especially for being a leather bar and the leather community being known for inclusivity, this place is a step backwards. Sure they have a Onyx night here occasionally for the black community. Separate but equal.

Last night was my first time there. It was homemade porn night, and they had a contest wherein you submitted your videos and they played them on the big screens. I got a FB notification about it, so I decided to check it out. I almost didn't go, because some of the reviews indicated that the place was a filthy, neo-Nazi, white supremist, hateful place with lousy bartenders. I'm glad that I ignored those reviews. The event started at 9:00pm, so my BF and I got there at 8:45pm. The doorman, who looked like he could kill you by looking at you, was surprisingly nice, welcomed us, and said no cover since we got there early, and said have a good time. It was pretty empty at 8:45pm, but by 10:00pm the place was full, and by 11:00pm it was shoulder to shoulder. This is definitely not the typical WeHo Club, so I can see where some people might be a bit put off by the place. This is not really a place for Attention Whores, self-absorbed twinks, and entitled Instagram social justice warriors looking for reasons to be offended. Nope. They might consider sticking with the clubs in WeHo. This is actually an inclusive place. It's so inclusive that no one really pays attention to whatever you're into. If you've got a statement to make, or you want people to fawn all over you and give you preferential treatment because of whatever it is that you say you are, then again, you're in the wrong place. There was a good mix of people of all ages and all levels of skin pigmentation, but it was mostly 30+ year old guys, daddies, lumberjacks, tatted muscle guys, and a lot of regular guys like me and my BF. No one was snotty or pretentious, and the people were just nice and friendly. The appearance of this place gave me the vibe of a really mean leather bar, but it's actually a cool leather bar. There were four bartenders working the main bar. Total Tom of Finland types, and really nice. I treated them with respect, and that respect was returned to me. The pour is heavy, and the drinks are appropriately priced. No complaints from me, whatsoever. Although there was a lot of PDA (my BF and I were guilty of that as well), and although the amateur gay porn was on the big screens, it wasn't raunchy. No one was doing anything inappropriate. The one bathroom that I saw (there's gotta be more than one but I didn't see it) had a sign on it that said ONE PERSON AT A TIME. Hmmmmm. Interesting. We left at 1:00am and it was so packed that it seemed like it took forever to get to the front door to leave. The (now multiple) doormen said have a good night and drive safe. Parking is a nightmare, unless you get there early like we did. If you're gonna get there after maybe 10:00pm, you should consider Uber or Lyft. We'll be back for sure. One more thing. It's CASH ONLY.

Came here for a quick drink and was served by Joey. Great bartender who is a reason to come back. This place is your typical low key, dark, and quaint place. Will be coming back.

Not sure why this place decides to charge a cover of $6 when the place is empty on a Saturday night. I think I will pass and encourage my friends to take our business elsewhere like Akbar because at least that cover buys us a drink

LA's premiere leather bar for men. Always a great time here no matter what day of week. Some great events are Meat Rack, Grunt, and Out Of The Woods held during each month. Bartenders and staff are top notch!

Is he wearing a chain-link thong?!?! That was the first thing I asked myself as I looked up at the bear-leather-gogo that was strutting his not so tiny junksack. The second thing that catches your eye as you make your way through a forest of hunky beefy hairy nipple pierced muscled daddies ..... Wait where was I going with this ... Oh yea next thing that caught my eye was the hardcore gay porn playing on all the screens.... Uuummmm I guesss I should get down to the nitty gritty... DRINKS!!!! Strong as... Fudge! Btw.. Just so we're clear you're bound to get a stiff one two ways either at the bar or as you make your way through the crowd on your way to the bar ...... Lol jkjk Atmosphere!! Well if you can handle a chain spiderweb and muscle daddies groping your nono and boyhoohaa then I'm sure you'll manage to have a great time.. Oh and make sure y'all say hey to Marcus the bartender sweetest guy ever!!!! One last thing I'm drunk!!!!! Drool Woof Hahaha!!!! Cheers it's MoMo bitches!!!!

This bar is absolutely a place to indulged into your most raunchiest and wildest imagination. It's defiantly not west Hollywood so if you don't enjoy the smell of bearded, muscle gut men with fur. (Don't even continue reading this it's not for you) The place is somewhat small but it has a nice indoor patio kinda thing going on. The drinks are cheap on certain days. Most of the time there's cover depending on the venue if your a cheap ass then get there early af. It's history is golden for many men that used to cruise and continue to pass down the tradition. The crowds has all ages, different colors and all flavors. Questions on Men's bathhouses/mens-club (hmu)

Following a man around can turn up a lot more than who he meets for lunch. I took over tailing this guy from an associate who'd disappeared on me. I should've expected as much from a magician, but it's a trick he wouldn't play twice on me. The magic man last called to say he'd seen our mark go inside this joint in Silverlake, the Eagle. He was on way back to meet me; said that if he couldn't walk he'd take the car instead - it was the last thing he said before the line went dead. Or maybe that was the call from Information Society. I slipped on some leather later that night, which felt more comfortable than I felt admitting to it feeling. An hour later I sauntered into the Eagle ready for trouble. I knew this place, and it's owner, Charlie. It's a dark place, decently lit, but painted black throughout the two large bars, huge outdoor covered smoking patio, and enormous pool room. It doesn't take long to figure out that it's a real man's bar, a place for men's men, men who don't think twice about taking another man down by hand - not to mention the mouths on these guys. I ordered a stiff one and drained it fast. Turns out that the Eagle is one of the last true leather bars going, with a long, thick history of servicing the community at large. Regular events splash their monthly calendar, and it's best to visit the website (www.EagleLA.com) to see what's going on before you drop in. If you're the kind of guy that like bears, daddies, or their fans, you won't find a better hangout in town. They've even got special nights for women - the kind who won't even take 'yes' for an answer from each other. There's a cover charge some nights, and as friendly as the place is, it's not always a place for everyone. I never found the mark I was looking for that night, but there were plenty of other Marks, Jims and Joes ready and willing to help me out. Not sure it's the kind of help I need, but I've found myself going back from time to time, just to make sure. Not that I really need to twice about it. - Father Fang

My husband and I are fortunate to live just down the road from The Eagle...the best part of our visits have been discovering the Tuesday afternoon/evening Happy Hour (Tightwad Tuesday)- extremely reasonably priced drinks...and the bartender, Blake, is the icing on the cake-- remembered us by name after a few visits, knows our order-- and he's like that with nearly all the regulars. It's great to have a home-base bar and a fantastic bartender super close by!

Amazing vibe. Strong drinks. Great holesome programs playing on their TVs. A real asset to the gay community.

If it's your kind of leather, older crowd then the eagle is truly the spot. Lots to choose from. Strong drinks and atmosphere to be put in a cruisin movie. If it's not your speed, then do not venture because it offers nothing else.

I have been going here for twenty years. I loved this place and thought I'd always feel welcome. But the way the bartenders treat me now I can tell that I'm no longer the kind of patron the bar wants. I wait patiently at the serving station, I'm respectful and prepared to order, and I tip generously. Yet I can't seem to get the bartenders' attention - they see me waiting and suddenly they decide to visit with their friends for five minutes or they come up to the service station and take the orders of the (younger, hotter) people behind me. It's like I'm a non-entity. I've tried to not take it personally, but after a year of being treated like an annoyance rather than a low maintenance regular, I think I get the message. I'm not young enough or hot enough to matter. It's a shame - the owners are really nice people and I love to support their businesses. But it's time to let go of the nostalgia I feel for this place. Best of luck with your new clientele. I'll find a watering hole where I feel welcome.

I went last night after 4 years, Friday night Oct 6th. Straight to the point: 1) Six dollar cover for no reason (no show, no special event, 1 single go go dancer for the whole place) 2) Rude bartenders, all of them, specially the chubby short shirtless one who believed he was something cause he had 2 ounces of muscle in his arms. The 60 something year old queen that has his butt implants hanging out half his extremely tight jeans took being rude to a whole new level. The late 40's y.o. queen at the patio/garage was also extremely rude and unfriendly, he was the one I first approached for a drink and he led me to my next bullet point. 3) Cash only bar! Are you kidding me? Do they have any idea how much business they are missing for having such a silly policy when we all know gay people love having a drink when hanging out in a bar. They clearly do this to evade tax payments at the end of the year, it just comes accross very cheap. IRS should check them out. 4) Water down drinks, 7 dollars for a tiny plastic cup water down vodka drink which tasted more like juice and ice than alcohol, and if you don't tip generously be prepared to be ignore by the bartenders even more. By the way the bartenders were hanging out and having a good time, showing their half old naked bodies ignoring customers left and right. I gave them 2 stars and not only 1 because of the go go dancer who was very nice, cute, sexy and had a great attitude and smile. A young fit hairy man who was wearing a cap and a full beard. He was the only positive thing besides the music which was from time to time good. The crowd is mostly caucasian, and mostly friendly, some wearing leather.

I went last night for a friends birthday. The guy at the front was an older white male with a mustache and a bear build. I brought out my cars to pay and he immediately responded in a condescending and rude tone that it was a "cash bar." I was like, well I am not going to the bar and told me that it was the same thing. The sign did not say cash only and when I asked if there was an atm he told me to move to the side. The man behind me was white and he had the same issue, but was told that he could enter and go see if the ATM machine was working. I of course addressed and questioned whybI was not afforded the same luxury. After a friend gave me cash for entry, I was told that they had a similar experience and that the same man rudely told them to walk two blocks to 7/11. After playing pool I went to the bar and found that the card machine was working. I feel that this was racially motivated. I feel that his conduct and behavior was unprofessional, unbecoming and unwelcoming to people of color who simply came out to celebrate and enjoy the evening. After I left I told him directly what I thought of him and that the atm machine was in fact working. He cowardly yelled. "Don't come back!" Trust me! I can spend my hard earned money at better places with people who respect me and do not discriminate.

Often a good vibe but too often a cover charge for a leather bar. Just skip it if you want to just grab a beer or meet up with friends. Bartenders are hot and friendly. Not going to pay cover to go in and buy one beer.
