Eagle Amsterdam

Opened in 1979 to give men a safe space to indulge in their different fetishes

Average Reviews

About

Nestled in the vibrant Warmoesstraat, the Eagle remains one the most visited men’s bar in the city, offering a unique blend of dance, social, and underground adventures across its three-story building.

On any given night, particularly during the bustling weekends, patrons flood its dance floor, fueled by the beats of live DJs and enhanced by an advanced light and sound system. The ground floor serves as the social hub with a well-stocked bar, while those seeking a bit of respite from the dance frenzy can ascend to the Chill-Out Lounge on the second floor, which overlooks the dance area and provides a somewhat quieter space to mingle.

The real intrigue of Eagle Amsterdam, however, lies beneath in its darkroom. This basement level is a maze of pleasure, featuring glory holes, private cabins, and ever-changing setups that promise a fresh experience with each visit. It's this dynamic and explorative aspect that makes Eagle a standout venue, not just in Amsterdam but in the broader European gay nightlife scene.

Whether it's a wild weekend party or a more subdued weekday gathering, Eagle Amsterdam encapsulates the essence of gay nightlife—liberating, diverse, and unabashedly fun. With its history of inclusivity and its reputation for thrilling encounters, Eagle Amsterdam is a must-visit for anyone seeking the quintessential Amsterdam gay bar experience.

Spent a night here with my besties, and OMG, it was so worth it. The music was on point, and the crowd was incredibly welcoming. The staff even cracked a few jokes to keep us smiling. In my opinion, it's one of those spots you just gotta visit at least once!

From what I've seen, this place is all about creating unforgettable moments. Drinks, music, and the kindest people you'll ever meet-what's not to love? One thing I learned is that the right place makes all the difference, and this is it!

Looking back now, I'm so glad we found this spot. It's got everything you need for a fun night out-great music, an amazing crowd, and staff who genuinely care. What surprised me was how cozy yet energetic it felt. We even met some awesome new friends. If you ask me, it's the kind of place that makes you wish the night never ended.

Great night out! Eagle has this welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay longer. The crowd was fun, the drinks came quick, and the basement had an awesome, adventurous feel to it. I’ll for sure be back next time I'm in Amsterdam.

Amazing spot for a relaxed yet lively night out. Loved how chill everyone was, and the staff were super nice. The vibe was just right—not too wild, but perfect for a good time. If you're in the city, definitely check it out!

My first time at Eagle, and it was unforgettable. The crowd was a mix of locals and travelers, all super friendly. Shoutout to the DJ for keeping the beats going! Plus, the basement added a nice twist to the night. Can’t wait to come back!

Never seen such an impolite bartender! Rude to tourists and yelling when they the forget to buy a beer by entrance.You never get a second chance for a first impression!FYI, it's the bartender who introduced himself as Alex.

I had a blast at this place! The themed nights add so much fun, and the people are all about enjoying themselfs. Got to chat with some friendly faces at the bar, and the music just kept us going. I also liked the basement—a bit dark but in a good way, lol. Drinks were fast, which is always a win. For sure my go-to place when I'm back in the city. Totally recomend it if you’re looking to unwind!

Popped in during their famous Ready2Play event. The crowd was exactly my type—chill and all about having a good time. The basement area is like no other, and the darkroom adds a touch of adventure. Shoutout to Raymond, the dungeon master, for keeping it all cool! 🎯 I had a blast and can’t wait for the next one. Just wish the drinks were a bit cheaper, but it’s worth it!

I’ve been to many gay bars, but Eagle Amsterdam has a unique charm. From the themed parties to the super attentive staff, everything was on point. Loved the basement area for its free vibe and the way everyone was just enjoying themselves. Plus, they have the best DJs in town 🎧. Can't wait for the next visit!

Visited on a Saturday and it was packed! People were friendly, and the music was perfect for dancing. I really liked the vibe of the place, relaxed yet buzzing with excitement. Great spot to meet new friends and just let loose. Totally worth the visit if you’re into a fun and welcoming atmosphere!

This place was recommended by a friend, and wow, it did not disappoint. Loved the themed nights, and the crowd was super friendly. Had a couple of drinks, danced, and explored the basement—it's like a little adventure in itself. Met some great people too, all in good fun. Will def be hitting this spot up next time I’m in Amsterdam!

Last week I was at the event, Naked Party. The employees were very friendly and answered my questions very well. I then immediately got rid of my things. Since I was clean and washed up, I then went into the basement, where there was already a lot of activity. I served some visitors well there, and was also served very well by one or another visitor on several occasions.

Absolutely adore this place, we visited every night whilst we were visiting Amsterdam. The staff were lovely, drinks served really quickly and great crowd and atmosphere.

Went there today and can't say it was bad and the audience is not angry. Finally leather and jeans again. Prices are okay. You should be happy that bars like this still exist 👍👍👍 Complainers stay home

It was my best night ever. Most places there is a entrance fee but here you can almost enter for free during regular nights exept daytime theme parties. Thank you. I will remember for a long time. And I hope to go back soon.

I really liked this club. Great fetish feel, some cool darkroom spaces, and good DJs. It can fluctuate from being starting quiet to being really busy. The staff were super.

It’s nice. I mean I like the old eagles better for a bit. Seems to have better vibes, but now is ok again. Was at Pride Friday night and it’s amazing. Great dancer 🚨

It's an awesome place for anyone gay or kink. The Saturday afternoon during Ready2Play is loaded with cute guys and all into the same. The dungeon master Raymond is a awesome guy.

the deadest gay bar i have ever been to on a Friday night. The place had about 12 people. 8 of us were out of towners that were there for the first time.

Nice place, the dj set was really good. Sadly was a kinda of a night with not many people. But I guess it depends if there are other parties around.Maybe I was also too “over the top” with my outfit. I gave the impression to be an escort (I’m not 😂).So guys, you lost a chance 😜.I will come back anyway 😉

Horrible the people who work there. One of them start complaining while we were like three seconds in that according to him we need to hang our jackets and buy drinks. In fact we already paid for their wardrobe and one of us was already at the bar for ordering drinks... Still don't know where that man exactly was making a problem of. Pay better attention maybe in the future? Because this not how you treat your costumers. About the customers: they all were over the age of 40. So not a good place for young bi or gay people. I met one boy kind of my age there. One old Brasil man touched me without any permission but made him clear not to do it. At the end of the evening one of the boys I was with and didn't really know lost his t-shirt because the atmosphere is much about sex, he decided during the night to take off his clothes a bit and then lost it. He asked the staff but they didn't even bother to look. While I saw him taking off his t-shirt so the change is big his clothes is still laying there somewhere in their club. Because of this bad experience at Kingsday I would never visit this place again.

Visited Eagle Amsterdam for the first time last week. I’m not necessarily much of a party animal, but I thought I’d swing by. Great atmosphere and I love the space; there’s of course a dancefloor and they have a darkroom which is great, complete with cabins amongst other things. Overall I’d definitely recommend the place if you’re looking for a fun night out.

If you’re craving for a space where you feel right at home and -most importantly- safe in company of like-minded patrons: go! The place is like an airport, I lived two streets next to it and not an evening was the same. Proud to know it is still there and knowing it is still there gives me goosebumps.Will return to the Nest very soon. Thanks Michael and the guys for the time of my life there! It will never be forgotten.🦅 🖤

I went to your place on Sunday night yesterday. It had been more than 5 years since the last time I was in your facilities. Although I fooled around a little, the treatment I received from the barman that night was quite disappointing. He was rude to me from the beginning, but things turned sour when I went to get my second drink. I wanted to pay with my card. I had in my pocket my hotel room card and my bank card. I used by mistake the hotel card first (it didn't work obviously) and then I used my bank card, but I didn't have enough funds. I ended up asking the barman to give me my bag so I could pay in cash. He did. Afterwards, I am pretty sure the barman called the police on me. I saw not long after asking for my drink two guys who seemed policemen disguised as clients, one of them took a picture of me. I think the barman thought I was some kind of pickpocket. This is not the first time I experience something like this in the Netherlands. Being a brown foreigner that goes to these places by himself seems to be problematic to many people, it seems that for me to be there, it must be becasue I am either a thief or a escort. The saddest part is the barman was a mixed black guy. I am not longer suffering this kind of discrimination silently. I hope this becomes an opportunity for Eagle's Bar Amsterdam to improve and do not racially discriminate or profile.

Possibly the best gayclub in the Low Countries! It's a small space and the drinks are quite expensive, but that's totally worth it for the hot audience and the great parties. A lot of dirty dirty things have happened between me and my friends in their basement. 😛 don't hesitate to go if you're in the scene and looking for a good time 👍

Always almost empty. They had to put a curtain up at the front entrance to block you from seeing it’s empty until after you buy a drink. If you want dancing go to The Church. If you want a darkroom go to Dirty Dick’s nextdoor or The Cuckoos Nest. Don’t waste your money here because what once was a well run busy bar is now part disco and part sex club that does neither well. And the staff is unfriendly to boot. Finally, to repeat, the place is always empty.
