The drinks are so strong that I think they literally put hair on your chest. Everyone here has a hairy chest so I just assume. I guess thats not really fair to say. I haven't been able to find a more diverse group of individuals joining together under one small roof. From the early twenty somethings huddled together in the corner to the older "hardcore" bears this place is a nice mix of our little community. There's even a few ladies now and again. Real ones well... ones born a lady.
I think it has gotten a really bad reputation over the years for various reasons. I'm sure that the majority of them are not based off of real things that happened. It is true, I assume, that the reason there are no doors of any kind in the bathroom is to prevent people from having sex there. I have seen it happen anyway, though. Thats a part of the fun! Old horny men getting it on. It's like a trainwreck - you can't help but stare. It's a part of the regional pike/pine charm I have grown to love over the years.
My favorite night happens to be "Bareback Thursday". It's not what you think. If you take your shirt off you get a dollar off your drink. How fabulous! Your already cheap drink just got cheaper. You haven't any dignity anyway. It is so fun to go here with a group of people. Last night I think there was like 10 of us, and between the great company and the strong drinks I had a rockin' night that couldn't be beat by most Capitol Hill bars.
Not in Seattle? That's okay! Its basically the Starbucks of leather bars so I'm sure there is one near you.
In short - give the Eagle a try... straight/gay/whatever you will have a great time! Oh yeah and I almost forgot... there's a sling!
