Description and history

The bar became a popular spot for gay men in New York from 1970 onwards, with a change of ownership and rebranding of the bar following the 1969 Stonewall riots. [1]

New York magazine described Eagle NYC as "a palatial two-story leather bar located near the West Side Highway" and rated the bar 79 out of 100. [2] The bar hosts an annual Mr. Eagle competition. [3] [4] The venue has been located at West 28th Street and 11th Avenue since 2001. [5]

Mike Miksche at Daily Xtra said the bar is "dependable on weekends and maintains the classic leather bar vibe". [6]
