Eagle Portland

The Eagle Portland has evolved into one of the most welcoming and eclectic LGBTQ+ spaces in town. Once known mainly as a leather and masculine hangout, it has transformed into a truly inclusive bar that embraces every expression of gender and sexuality without losing its character or edge. The staff is consistently warm, friendly, and quick with a pour—whether you’re craving a strong spirit or a cold beer. The vibe is both unpretentious and playful: a corner with lottery machines, a free pool table, and gay porn looping on the TVs keeps the space true to its roots. What sets the Eagle apart is its variety of themed nights. From gamer nights to karaoke, naked pool, underwear parties, cigar and scotch evenings, red hankie events, and pup nights—there’s always something different to look forward to. It feels like a living calendar of queer culture, with each night catering to a different slice of the community. And don’t skip the back patio. With shaded seating and gourmet hot dogs served up fresh, it’s the perfect place to relax, chat, and connect. The Eagle Portland is more than a bar—it’s a community hub that respects its history while embracing the future of queer nightlife. Whether you’re a longtime regular or a first-timer, you’ll feel right at home.

The Eagle has always been one of the few spaces where gay men could feel completely at ease—free to express ourselves without outside eyes or mixed social dynamics. Lately, that feeling has shifted. With women now regularly attending, I personally feel less connected to the space. It changes the energy and takes away from what made this place feel unique and sacred for our community. I don’t say this to be exclusionary, but because spaces like this are rare, and it’s hard seeing that special dynamic start to erode.

Have loved coming here regularly for the past 5 years, but really don't love getting scolded by the bartender for asking them to stop patrons from breaking the bar rules. Apparently, according to Jaren, masturbating isn't "sexual activity" unless they're ejaculating directly onto me. The Leather, Kink, BDSM, and LGBTQ+ communities are all founded on a basis of consent. I come here under the assumption that this should be a safe and comfortable space based on the implicit contract this sign on the door creates. There are not many good safe spaces left for LGBTQ+ folks these days. The Eagle has been my last safe haven for quite some time and I would really hate for that to change. Yes, I understand that this bar is BDSM and kink focused, but BDSM and kink are not inherently sexual. There is no way you can spin or frame blatant public masturbation as anything other than sexual activity. It's one thing in a thick crowd where you're not really sure what's going on on the other side of that wall of people, but during the slowest time on the slowest day, right between the back door and the patio where I have no choice but to walk past you if I want to use the bathroom or buy a drink... that's just absurd and a violation of my consent; I didn't sign up to be a voyeur in your exhibition fetish. I'd really love to see this place following their own rules since this is the only place left where I can spend time with my friends and really be myself. I previously rated this bar as 5 stars and will be happy to do so again once I know this has been handled appropriately. The staff and owner know how to reach me considering I'm there several times a week and am a former employee. Cheers. Edit: I've been informed by the owner that I'm banned indefinitely due to "slandering" the bar online. Legally speaking, "slander" requires something to be knowingly untrue, and none of the contents of my review were untrue. The owner did confirm that the bartender was in the wrong and let me know that they have been coached on how to correctly handle similar situations in the future. (And also that he would be fired, but I doubt that's true and genuinely hope it's not the case.) He asked me what my side of the story was, but did not let me tell the story before he interrupted and started scolding me for slander and asking me to leave. I asked him if he would actually hear my story, and he agreed, but interrupted me several times in a defensive manner before finally telling me to see myself out and not to come back until he says otherwise. Unfortunately, this means I have no safe social spaces left in PDX, as everyone I know chooses this bar as a meeting/hangout point. For a bar that claims itself to be a safe and welcoming LGBTQ+ space, they are living up rather poorly to the claim. I broke no rules of the establishment. My only "wrong" was giving a negative (and truthful) review because I had no idea who to go to for this issue. I also made it clear and fully intended to set the review back to 5 stars as soon as I was told that similar situations would be handled appropriately in the future, leaving no real grounds for a "slander" claim. Hope to see you around, Portland. And keep in mind: it's not safe to raise concerns at Eagle Portland, apparently it gets you banned. P.S. the food is great. If you're gonna go at all, make sure to support Meat Daddy in the patio.

Most of the guys who work her are cool! The patrons suck. Just a yuppie pretentious bar like all gay bars but I choose to come here often cause I dont like the flashy even worse vibe from other gay bars. Im ugly and invisible and people are mean but that's every where. 🤪😜 if people were better at being people i would've put 5 stars. A social thing to get people to meet people event would be awesome. People in Portland are generally awkward and stand offish so I think that would be cool

Best gay bar in Portland! Sexy atmosphere, hot leather, and cute guys of all types! Keep up the good work and don’t change a thing! LOVE the theme nights here.

Great gay bar! It's definitely catering towards guys, however all are welcome. Meat Daddy knows how to work the grill and the drinks are always on point.

Another great Eagle location! We had a great time chatting in the spacious patio and enjoying some very stiff drinks, among other things. Keep up the great work, guys!

I live nearby. This club blasts music all night every Friday and Saturday. It gets old. I'm sure it's fun for the patrons though lol

Such a great space. Was in from out of town and walked in not knowing anyone. Had a ton of folks making eye contact yet no one really said hi. Wasn't until I made the first move to say hi to a group and I made some friends that night. The drinks were strong yet some of the bartenders give a lot of issues when ordering for a group. (More then 2 drinks at a time) With that being the only negative I would very much go back. Also I thought it was very cool That they had one sight rapid HIV tests. Over all I would suggest checking this place out especially for the pool nights.

One of the most welcoming bars I've been in. The staff and guest are all wonderful and the backdoor patio is a great space for group gathering.

I'm a truck driver from Oakland and was stuck on an layover in Portland Dec 27-Jan 3. I'm a bit of an introvert, have never gone to a bar by myself, but was so bored and lonely that I decided to give the Eagle a shot. Went there three times and each time found the staff and fellow patrons to be friendly and welcoming. Went there on a Sunday afternoon and they were doing a bbq, giving away hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad etc for free. Yes there is such thing as a free lunch! The drinks were well made and fairly priced. It has a comfortable dive bar feel with a back patio and pool table. My only caution is to not go there if you're bothered by gay porn, because that's what's playing in the monitors. I'm looking forward to my next Portland layover so I can hang out at the Eagle.

Met a friend for a beer. A specific vibe, but the bartenders were very friendly! Even though I'm not their exact demographic, I felt like I was welcome there by workers and patrons alike.

AVOID! Even if you have grey hair, they make you turn over your driver's license to scan. They keep your name, address and birthdate on file. It's a violation of privacy. They told me they were required to scan the drivers's license by law. That is a lie. They are stealing your data. When I said they were welcome to look at my license, they told me to leave. Immediate hostility in the face of legit consumer behavior means they are not a true member of the community and only out for themselves. BTW: This bar stole the Eagle name. It is not affiliated with true Eagle bars.

Stopped in for a drink after dinner before calling it a night. Place is not hard to find but off a main busy street and parking is tough to find (had to park in residential). Bartenders and clientele were very friendly. Drink prices were average at 6 bucks a cocktail.

2nd time in Portland and the bartenders are always so nice. One of my favorite places to go.

On the northern outskirts of Portland, Eagle reminds me of the Hole In the Wall Saloon in San Francisco...not so much for the bizarre, surrealistic, Churrigueresque alternate reality, but for the really laid back, laissez faire attitude permeating both. I remember seeing a gentleman totally bareass naked at the Hole, and that didn't surprise me since San Francisco hosts the Bay to Breakers Run where groups of people can run without a stitch of clothing. We went on a Wednesday afternoon, saw a sign at the front door stating, "Do not enter if you are offended by nudity. We are a proudly Gay Bar." Well, to me this felt like Oregon balls out where people feel they have the right to do whatever they want as long as they don't directly hurt anyone. Hear! Hear! And right on cue when we entered, there was a gentleman from San Diego who was walking around nekkid as a jaybird and appeared right happy strutting about the bar & small, pleasant back patio which sported a large mirror which, I assume, is used for "wardrobe adjustments". There are even cubby hole lockers provided for people to stow their clothes as long as they bring your own lock. Full bar, plus good local micro brewery craft beers on tap. Since we didn't go at peak night time, weekend hours, I can't vouch for the clientele, but our furry, Smokey the Bear type Beared Bartender was helpful & friendly. It's a dive, which to me makes it even more appealing. It's the only Bear-Leather-Levi-Fetish cruise bar in all of Portland since the Eagle PDX is long gone so it deserves a 4 Yelp rating. PS The cute puddy cat is a roamer so you won't see her all the time. Also, she apparently comes on really friendly, but pet her for a while, and she turns paranoid and bites hard as related by a local patron who had put his hand too long on that furry, wild pussy.

I've been coming here for a few years now and have always felt welcome! Everyone is so engaging. Even though I'm not LGBTQ i have been treated with respect and have an amazing time every time!!

Always have a great time at Sunday's "Sluttie" BBQ! Feel very welcomed when there. Great bartenders and door guys. The crowd is more social then other bars (my experience anyway).

This place kills it... the one star haters should drink at home! Being a married strait dude I'm cracking up

Love this place good, people good drink , fun atmosphere. I always enjoy my time there Evan for a just a drink. Best neighborhood gay bar I've ever been to.

If it's your thing. It's your thing. Nice staff. Strong drinks. Community. Sexy times.

This is a perfect bar for guys who identify as bears, chubs, Chasers, leather, etc. They have a lot of themed events but you are not required to dress them. You can go in jeans and t shirt. Everyone is very nice. Bartenders constantly make sure your drinking needs are met. They do play X rated movies so if that bothers you then this may not be the place for you. I do like how as a minority inside the bar I was not singled out or made to feel out of place.

This is a sketchy neighborhood dive bar that Straight people wouldn't bother to drink at. If you have ever been to a real "Bear Bar" or a "Leather Bar"... this is so NOT one of those places. Extremely unfriendly staff full of "unmerited attitude". All in all a consistently disappointing experience

This is the best steak house in Portland. They have them in every size and shape from all demographics and they all like to party! I'm not a tender or tough steak, somewhere in the middle but I like guys and I love a man steak! You'll catch me here often getting my fill! Show up with a smile and be kind! Most importantly have fun and say "Hi", make a new friend for an hour, a night or maybe a lifetime. Cheers! You can find me in the back, I'm the gay one! Lol!

This bar is clean, fun, friendly, and has very comfortable seating areas. The drinks are just right about if strength and the prices are good. The bartenders have enthusiasm to help and are mindful of cleaning up. The patrons of the bar are great to chat with, down to earth and genuine.

I had to check out Portland Eagle on my way to a great restaurant by the airport. They are literally on the same street so I stopped in. Earlier a gay friend of mine who I have known for 30 + years told me about it. Another told me to stay away so for $10 I checked it out. Outside the front door was the senior manager. He oversees 4 or 5 of the properties owned by the same guy. I had a good conversation with him about his duties and the various businesses he works at and future expansion plans as well as overall business plan changes. He has his act together. Not only was he on spot when it came to know what he was doing he also had a good sense of humor as well. This morning he was bartending as he opened. After he finished his smoke we both went into the place. It was about 3:00 PM on a Sat afternoon. There were two patrons in the place. One was at the bar on his laptop the other was outside on the deck somewhere. They have a great selection of beers. I chose one then looked around the place. Lots of gay porn-as expected-and fairly excellent quality. Certainly, the production quality was excellent. Then I walked out on the deck and saw the other patron. He was butt naked with a ring in every conceivable place, and then some for sure! He had rainbow colored hair and immediately was reminded of the joke about the old sailor on leave in Hong Kong... Despite appearances he was a fairly friendly guy. Then another patron or two stopped in. One went to the bathroom...screaming...like a syphilis infected pain while urinating...one of the more bizarre things I have experienced. The manager did not blink an eye. When the guy was done he left. No purchase, just a scream, a pee and he left! Even for a straight guy this could be a fun bar, but definitely on the cutting edge! I have nothing bad to say about the place and can only imagine how lively it gets at night, but this place is obviously not for the weak... I plan to come back again at a different time when things are hopping.

Hadn't been there for years. Local bartender and I must say I am impressed. New owners have put heart and soul into the establishment and it shows. Great patio and changes to the interior show that they are in it to win it. Awesome job and look forward to seeing the progression for many years to come.

The Eagle Portland is the best gay bar in Portland. Within a couple blocks of I-15 and on the Yellow MAX line, it is readily accessible. Unlike other Eagle bars in the country, this one has no dress code and is casual and friendly. There are good events on weekends and regular events nearly every night. Favorites are Undergear (3rd Saturdays, where you can get it without a cover charge by getting down to your undies--or less--at the clothes check provided), Bear it All (1st Saturdays, sponsored by the Oregon Bears, again with a clothes check), and LURE (Leather, Uniform, Rubber, Etc., 4th Saturdays, the monthly fetish party. Break out your leather, cop or Navy uniform, kilt, or whatever). Fast and friendly bartenders.

Great place Very manly, place. I will be back! So much potential fun there. Older crowd but fun and liberating to be in a comfortable place very friendly.

Dark and leathery! Smoky and scotchy! Hey boy, can Daddy buy you a drink? You betcha! Chain link in the bathroom? Why not!? Super sexy! Enjoy naughty movies? They got 'em! Where else in PDX can you sit on the patio spread eagle in a jockstrap and smoke a stogie? NOWHERE THAT'S WHERE, SILLYBILLY! C'mon down to Eagle PDX! Pull up an armpit! Grab a handful of fur! Throw your Doc Martens over your head and say HELLO PDX! WHEEEE!

Hmm what I can say. It's not like there are overwhelming options as far as bear-bars go. I seem to have good luck meeting new people here, and usually find someone attractive to cuddle with. Maybe not the best place to go if you are trying to find someone special, 'cause the vibe is hyper-sexual with porn grinding away on 10 different screens throughout the place. If you can manage to endure the aggressive groping, you still might find a meaningful date or 2 with a little time and effort, I know I have. I like the atmosphere(aside from being blasted with porn.) The lighting and the ambiance is comfortable and inviting, and usually not too loud to have a nice conversation. Being the only real bear-bar in Portland, it's a great place to go if you like fuzzy man creatures. It is positively packed with bears, cubs and their admirers on the weekends. There are themed and rotating events here nearly every day, and I have to say these are a stroke of genius that continuously attracts a varied crowd of fuzzy men for different reasons. On the not awesome side. At some time, some years ago, they quit serving good cocktails. No longer is one allowed to purchase AMFs, Long Islands, or the like. I mean, how dare one try to get drunk at a bar!? Also, I'm 386 lbs, so that's just a nice way to start my evening adventures -- I am quite bitter about the absence of such beverages. Mostly I have a good time here, after CC Slaughters was taken over by twinks and straight people, this was the only bar left where I can consistently find the type of guys I'm into.

Oh you seedy little devil, you. Just what I would expect from any rendition of The Eagle: dark and unexpected and non-surprising when you get right down to it. You know you're going for the raunchy darkness so embrace it. The only thing that might be questionable for me are the drink specials. They just don't seem to measure up. That is, the "cost to play" doesn't equal the drink specials being very special. $1 off isn't my idea of a steal of a deal. But still, you can get your drink on pretty well here. I like that there is a front bar and a back patio bar. Plenty of room for all things naughty. There are options to play some classic bar games like billiards and darts. It's got an old and cozy wood feel to it. No doubt in my mind - I would go back again. If visiting Portland or just in the mood to walk on the wild side, this is a good place to go.

Really 2.5 stars. The last remaining cruise bar in a city where the gay "scene" is more mainstream. If you were hoping that this is the place where the hot "Daddy" or "Boy" frequents you may be disappointed. Yeah, you'll find the occasional hottie but don't expect it. And when they are here, the crowd is so desperate that you'll likely not even get a chance for a brief chat much less meet them. Anyway.. The drinks are decent. Happy hour prices are OK. The atmosphere reminds one of a bath house from the 80's with gay porn playing, dark corners. Nudity abounds. Wipe your seats before you sit unless a bit a residual poo from the last occupant doesn't bother you. Bartenders are friendly but not too much. Some of them are quite contrived with it. Don't expect a friendly crowd though you may get lucky.

Every town has an eagle and usually they are good dives. This one is not. In life I try to find a good thing to say about everything but I'm reaching here. Let's see the bartender says they cannot make the most basic drink because it's mixed and I guess there was some issue with this. Crowd is not friendly at all and oh the stories I've heard about the scandal on the infamous patio? Unless someone is watching scandal on their phone it was non existent

Wow, reading other reviews of this bar really gets me wondering what they were expecting. It's a gay leather/bear bar. It's supposed to be raunchy. It's not some Chelsea bar for twinks. If you don't bring an attitude, you will fund the people are very friendly and the staff even more so. Sure when its busy they might not take the time the chat, but otherwise they are always interested in meeting new people and helping. As for the cover charges, its the way they get people to paricipate in their special event. You don't want to pay a cover charge? Don't come on a night that they are running as special event (like underwear night). BTW you are not going to get an STD from stripping down. My husband and I came here on our first visit before we moved to Portland and instantly made friends. In the 3 years its become our favorite bar to hang with friends, dress up in leather and other activities. Neither of us, nor anyone we know had been forced into unwanted sexual acts. Are there some people who would look better with their clothes on? Yeah, but the beauty of this place is that it is none judgemental and people who aren't Adonis who want to be naked can be naked here without being made to fell bad. In the end its more about your attitude than this bar. If you are accepting, open minded and want to have a good time you will. If not, please don't come and ruin it for the rest of us.

I used to live in Portland when all the gay bars were down on "Vaseline Alley" (aka, SW Stark Street). Since the scourge known as the "Pearl District" has jumped Burnside and spread to the now former gay ghetto, most of the action has been established in either Old Town, Downtown or elsewhere. There was a different Eagle that was formerly located in Vaseline Alley -- it closed, and the owner of this bar assumed the Eagle name for his bar in North Portland. The Eagle is Portland's only gay leather/levi bar, but it's a good one, by God! Thursday nights is "naked pool night", but I was there on a Saturday night and saw some penis. Lot's of draft beers that would make any bear happy, and a full bar with any booze you choose. Also, check out the vending machine.....need some smokes? They sell cigarettes at the vending machine. Snacks? check. How about a bottle of poppers, lube or even a DILDO!? Yup, you can get all of those at the vending machine! Also: nice partially-enclosed back patio for all you smokers, complete with a flat screen TV playing hard core porn. Bartenders are cute, drinks are stiff and the cruising is easy pickin's (wink).

Get nude or pay a $10 cover? Yeah I wanted a beer. Not an STD. This kinda bar is why there are such horrible stereotypes against gay men. Totally grossed out. I don't mind nudity but thinking charging people to leave their clothes on might be illegal.

This bar could be amazing. The back patio is great. The bar just needs a little more follow through with where it wants to go or be. There's so many tables, chairs, some thing off to the side (it looked like an bar that was just being stored there), that makes the inside feel unnecessarily cluttered. Parking sucks, but that's not the bars fault. The bartender at the time we were there (I think his name is Aaron), very handsome and very nice. The tattooed and fully naked, rather large gentleman at the end of the bar was rather unexpected for 4:00pm on a Monday afternoon. But, then again - this is Portland.

Going to the Eagle Portland is like scraping the bird poop off your car, and then having the feeling like it's really never going to be clean again. It's like a bunch of hippies all vomited up a campground and added flat screen bareback porn for amusement, but even the adult entertainment was a little too aggressive. The help actually seemed friendly. There's a full bar, but there seems like little else to do. It's completely unsanitary, and I wouldn't touch a buffet item on a club/event night even if they paid me. I also expect a "leather" or "eagle" bar to be sexy, provocative and intriguing. This Eagle had none of those qualities, and seeing naked guys twirl around the bar only adds to the unsavory aspects that I have previously mentioned. This is clearly a hole. It needs to dig itself in and stay there.

Unless you are a man attracted to bears and other (outwardly appearing) masculine men, you have no reason to come here. It is a gross dive, lots of poker machines, beer advertisements, filthy appearance, smelly bathroom, etc. The bar selection is pretty weak too, but they have a dark beer on tap, so I am set. That said, it is really the only gay bar of it's kind (does not idealize youth) in Portland currently, and I find myself there week after week, if only for woof and potential hookup factor. People who come here know what it is about, though beware some of the regulars. Come on Thu, Sat, or any event for a good and busy night. Shout out to Steve, my favorite bartender! David is great too when in a good mood. P.S. to Aaron, who has a review below me: Right Guard? Ewwwwwwwwww... I would take man smell over Right Guard any day.

My favorite spot to hang out. Awesome staff. Cool events. In my opinion, it's the best gay bar in the area.

Compared to other eagle venues. I was not impressed. It's tiny. Half the TVs worked, the rest were playing porn that looked like it was filmed in the dark ages. And it Smelled horrible. Not like a little man smell. But absolute gross. Was very let down compared to Minneapolis, ATL, and NYC

This place can be either a ton of fun or really just a drag. It all depends on the vibe. Their events often bring out literally droves of people, crammed into the relatively-small space. That can be a lot of fun, though. Their patio is pretty nice, although the recent expansion/remodel is more than a little obvious as a means of building "quiet corners" for more intimate encounters (which do occur there now and then). The biggest problem with this place is that the staff can easily get overwhelmed by the crowds, resulting in ridiculous lines to get another beer. Unnecessarily long. One other note: They don't take cards, and the ATM machine in the bar is frequently out of order. Make sure you have some cash when you show up. Another annoying quality: think twice on hot nights whether you're up for going, because the folks that hang out here sometimes seem to be less eager to put on some Right Guard in the morning... which makes for an unexpectedly fragrant night out. And enough with the name changes already: you should have stayed "Porky's". Changing it to "Urge" was just ridiculous, as was the name-grabbing stunt that ultimately yielded "Eagle". So, lots of people I know just wrap them all into one and affectionately call it "Purgle".

I've been to the Eagle in San Francisco, London, NYC, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Detroit (R.I.P.), and Toronto (R.I.P?) and clearly I'm counting (but not counting Indianapolis (R.I.P.) because it technically wasn't an Eagle when I went) so when I finally went to Portland for the first time in November, I had to stop by the Eagle Portland. It was everything I expected: dark inside, the bartender was naked, the drinks were a generous pour, and the guys were nice, bathroom also dark, some leather, some bears, patio. I was there at a pretty dead time, late Saturday afternoon, but I sat at the bar and bartender and patrons were friendly and chatty so I got what I wanted. By the time I left in early-to-mid evening, the crowd was already picking up and the tables were filling up. I thought it was cool that the bar had so much seating, I think so many bars do without it to pack people in (this is definitely the case in SF, where I live.) But perhaps due to the Eagle's remote geography they'd rather just have people who make the trek be comfortable? How novel. No complaints here, I'd go back, if I ever go back to Portland.

If you are into Decor this isn't the place for you. This is a neighborhood bar that caters to the Gay leather and/or Bearish crowd. There is a pool table, some kind of video games that resemble some kind of slot machine games and a few high tables with barstools. The ceiling and the walls is just open wood "unfinished" with the tupical neon hanging here and there. It is VERY downsacale. On the up side the patrons and workers are all very friendly. Several patrons were naked, as it was "naked Pool (billiars) Night," even though it was extremely cold outside. Inside the temperature was probably in the mid 70's. For me the best feature of this bar was several micro-brew beers on tap. The beer was $3 for domestic and $4 for the Micro-brews or imports. For the naked people it did not seem like they had a coat or clothes check, but i could be wrong.

Bears & beer... two of my major food groups, & it is in my neighborhood. Why didn't Pat keep the name Porky's?

First time I went into this bar was probably in 2008, was with my partner we got really ugly stares, not the kind that most men would enjoy getting but the type that make you feel uncomfortable. I couldn't believe how unfriendly the atmosphere was, me and my partner look like big chubby bears but that night it felt like we were the most ugliest people to walk into that bar. We ordered drinks, I believe I had a soda and my partner had some alcoholic beverage. I took a seat near the back where it wasn't so crowded, partner came back to the table and mention how many ugly stares he received at the men sitting at the bar. The bartender actually came and asked us if we wanted refills on our drinks but we said we're fine. I looked towards the wall to see a board or flag of the Oregon Bears, considering how rude they were to me and my partner at Portland Pride in 2008 and 2009 I thought no wonder we were getting the ugly staring as if we were outsiders or outcasts. Finished our drinks and left disappointed cause I thought bears were accepting but I guess they are just as stuck up as the bears in California. We did give this bar another try in 2010 and went back one night, a few more people were here this time and some were playing pool and others were sitting in the back near where we previously sat the first time. We sat at a different spot right in front of these older gentleman dressed in leather, didn't receive as many ugly stares but we were showed a nice S&M show from the leather daddies. It didn't bother us at all, but it was entertaining to say the least. Finished our drinks and left like always, probably was going to be the last time we would be coming here cause again the staring always makes me uncomfortable not because it's that "Oh you're hot and I'm checking you out" kind of stare but the kind that they were giving me was that you're an outcast get the hell out of here. I guess the bears here in Portland are just really rude, stuck up and unaccepting, so its a good thing after all these years avoiding this bar we still continue to avoid it.

This is a great bar. They have great venues, drink specials clothing optional, porn and a great Sunday feed with free hot gigs and hamburgers. I only gave it 4 stars because it truly cannot be called a leather bar since they don't require leather. But it is a wonderful fetish at times.

We'er a middle aged couple (not high maintenance) and like the idea of your local, edgy, dive bar for men. Additionally we've visited many "Eagles" around the country. Honestly 9 out of 10 times this bar fails. The bartenders are nice enough but the place seems understaffed? Back patio totally reeks of unattractive smokers; is boring/no play areas. Interior is too bright and open considering what an "eagle" is all about. The most unfriendly locals we've ever come across? Music sucks! Provided by Satellite with no "pay to play" option. Theme nights are unorganized/week and again boring. Boot Black was an overweight white girl, ridiculous! Parking is always and issue.

OK neighborhood queer bar that's wonderfully twink-free and has a small patio in the back. The funniest part is the straight neighborhood folks who come in to play video poker as hardcore gay porn plays all around them. Two things I wish would change: The bar's crappy music/sound system and a B.O. factor can make your eyes water! Just sayin'...

Me and my husband have patronized this establishement for 14 or 15 times throughout the past two years, having spent maybe $400 on drinks during that time. Well, last night was our last time ever stepping foot inside this Eagle. DJ Anorexic (quite an ironic nickname, considering he's a disgusting old fat tub of lard) was rude, disrespectful and obnoxious when politely asked to turn the music down so that people could hear each other better, instead of yelling in each person's ear. He then suggested that my husband, who was dressed in rubber pup gear, "poke holes inside his rubber hood with a pencil". What a disrespectful jerk! When I confronted the management about his behavior, they shrugged it off with "well, it's really crowded back there and the DJ is having a hard time as well". That's NOT a valid excuse for this asshole to treat your patrons that way, sorry! Good bye, Portland Eagle

Since moving to Portland (for work) from San Francisco several months ago I've become a bit of a homebody/nester. No complaints or regrets on accepting the work assignment...especially with the favorable exchange rates here in pdx (I.e. housing costs). On the rare occasion that I do venture out, I've tried to employee a "keep expectations low and possibly be pleasantly surprised" approach. So when some new friends invited my husband and I to join them at the Portland Eagle, I know it would be nothing like the Bars in SF or even Pittsburgh PA. Unfortunately, I should have prepared for a much worse experience. Long story short, if it wasn't for the porn, I would have sworn I was at the DMV vs an establishment designed to attract and keep patrons. 1. When I visited the bar to order 4 shots of Patron for my friends and I (they were outside in the enclosed patio) a look of terror washed over the bartenders face and he said "I don't know how much to charge for that". I kept my composure and asked him politely if there was anyone on staff who he could ask? At which time he blurted out $14.00 ea. and added that I needed to pay in advance and could not take the drinks to the patio...my friends would need to come to the bar if they wanted a shot. $14.? Did I hear correctly? I blinked my eyes and thought to myself, "I must be back in SF at the Ritz Carlton" Sadly, after regaining focus, I was reacquainted with the endless loop of some tired Daddy pounding "his boy" in a cheesy 1 star motel room on the monitor.

You take this establishment for what it is. It is not glamorous or pretentious. It's a neighborhood hangout that attracts some very unusual species. The bartenders are friendly. The clientele is not as much. It definitely has a cliquish atmosphere but not blatantly unfriendly. The patio can at times be a circus sideshow, that I personally find entertaining. It might turn some folks off. Not a big booze consumer but everything I have tried has been great. Stop by Sunday afternoons for a terrific free barbecue. If you come in with an open mind, you will be fine.

I mean.... look if you want to watch a group of geriatric old men fondling their genitals in public, by all means, make your way to the Eagle. Frankly, I have nothing against it, but they are awefully queeny in here. Granted it is a "men's" bar, but we are in the "family" and have been treated so differently all across the spectrum, from down right dirty looks, to being celebrated as the guests of honor. I want to love this place, but the elitist, nudist slum thing is just shy of warranting a sassy attitude... Loosen up fellas, and learn to have fun with those who love you.

Well what can I say about this place? The Eagle is as close as you can get to a gay bathhouse without actually going to Steam Portland. Its hot inside, most people are nude, and the chairs look like they were actually stolen from a sauna. Have sex on the brain? They play porn 24/7 behind the bar as well as college football. Are you specifically a older masculine gentlemen looking for another daddy or bear type to spend time with? This is the place! Its raunchy, its dimly lit, and it knows exactly what it wants out of you when you walk through the door so those ill prepared to meet its expectations you might be disappointed! This place is a strictly gay bar, but as I found out being female, if you are a polite guest of the man/men that you accompany you'll just enjoy the occasional campy jab at your unusual presence and the job of being wingman for every guy that wants to talk to one of your friends, as such there's no reason to ever update this review again as I won't be going back, once was enough for the experience, twice would be intruding on a private space for the other sex to feel comfortable without my huge titties and loud laugh mucking it up lol. Seemed chill enough, have fun guys.

i love this bar. first things first this is a neighborhood bar. one of my favorite things about the portland gay scene is that it's not all about a gayborhood, it's about community. part of that manifests itself in amazing smaller gay bars sprinkled all around the city walkable for folks in those areas. second thing to know is that this is NOT the big city eagle that you are expecting if you are from out of town. it has the eagle soul for sure, some fun dirty things here and there but not like what you've come to expect in say new york or sfo. this place is nice folks and friendly bartenders, an awkward dance floor that you just gotta jump onto if you wanna show um how it's done. people will join but you gotta pave the way ;) there's also a great patio with heaters for those who get chilly on a rainy portland day. all in all, i love it. simple, dirty light and welcoming. indulge in the theme nights and your cover will be reduced or even free! even if you don't it's usually only 2 to 5 bucks. happy bear hunting ;)

Hot owner Pat bartending sans shirt, Thursdays' Naked Bears Billiards night, friendly non-attitude bar. Not like the DC Eagle or the NYC Eagle but I like that. Still plenty of eye candy and a well stocked bar, just no dress code. It's almost like you're in Portland!

Call it what you want... you'll always be Porky's to me. Being from SF, this place is less Eagle more Lonestar. (What's up with 2 Eagle's anyway??) This place is totally BEAR central. Grrrr? Lots! (Sigh) Great bartenders, nice clientele, with a twist of sketchy. Looove the videoooos! (sing song voice)
