Loved the dancefloor area! Great music and lots of fun! Wish they had a bigger beer selection though!

Eagle has been one of the best gay spots to go out in NYC. The atmosphere is great, the music and DJs are always on point, and the drinks are solid. The bartenders are professional, the coat check is smooth, and the staff overall does a fantastic job. But I especially want to recognize the security team. They are incredibly professional, polite, and always on top of their responsibilities. They make me feel safe and comfortable every time I’m there. Big respect to you guys—keep up the amazing work!

The Eagle is, in my opinion, the best gay bar in New York City. With three floors, including a rooftop, it has a scale and energy that few other places can match. More importantly, it does not feel cookie-cutter like so many other bars. It has real character, a distinct vibe, and genuinely friendly guys. Highly recommended.

Cash only? It’s 2026 - take credit cards and pay your taxes! $25 entrance fee is a rip off. Outdoor rooftop is nice. Good looking crowd.
